Though not a one of them will get in, the Square is going to be packed with people, I'm sure.With only 980 seats, and invite only, there's not a chance in hades of getting a ticket.  Though I did run into a lady who had tickets at the supermarket......and I turned on the radio on my way back from said market, and they announced that they'll be simulcasting the concert.  And that's pretty darned cool.  Thanks for livening up the town, U2!Edit: Bostonians - the simulcast is on Mix 98.5 (WBMX) starting at 9 PM.</blockquote>
