Here’s a scheme of the set. I’ve indicated in blue the best place outside of the RED zone to stand to get the same view as the RED zone people. Bonus: You’re not surrounded by drunk rich people in suits. In many cases, that area is still fairly empty right up until the start of the show.
Another great place to stand is indicated in green. You have to arrive pretty early for that.
Inside the GA pit you can get your view blocked by the bridges. The stage if quite high so you are looking up all the time and you are spinning around trying to follow the boys as they walk around. In my opinion, GA pit is only great if you are right up against the barrier in front of the stage.

Cheers Caroline, I was looking at the green reserved seating just behind the red zone. Etihad is a pretty good stadium, even the last row on ground has a fantastic view, it’s built so you’re close to the ground. Wish me luck on Monday for the group 2 presale!

Er, I meant blue zone. Matt Damon films, Bono charities… all these colours where there’re none to see are confusing me.

PS, we may not be blogging here, but we're still somewhat active on Twitter and daily links should still appear on this page.
The third set of results from the 2012 U2 Fan Survey is now available, and it takes us through your votes on U2's albums and songs. As a reminder, the survey was open from April 5th through April 30th. We received completed responses from 3,530 fans in 79 countries this year, both of which are down from 2010. We think that's likely due to the band […]
How would you like to have a wall in your house covered with perfectly framed U2 album cover art? You could just have your favorite U2 albums on the wall or, like me, you could go all the way and put every U2 album on display in order — like this: That’s one of the [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.A Look at My U2 Framed Album Cover Wall (PHOTOS) […]
[Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
Bono made an appearance via video tonight at the Webby Awards, contributing to a tribute to Steve Jobs. A host of tech legends and celebrities each paid tribute to Jobs in five words or less, a Webby Awards tradition. It looks like Bono’s contribution was recorded within the past week, but that’s just a guess. [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.Bono Pays […]

I’m musing about getting a Red Zone ticket for the Melbourne gig. Anyone recommend it? It’s pricey, but I figure it’d be worth 3 days of work for!
Not worth the money. You can get exactly the same view just outside the Red Zone if you arrive early enough.
