U2: faraway, not so close... Disabled people close to U2 stage

were a group of fans and wed like to let you know about a problem that we think you can solve.
Your concerts are unique and exciting moments that each one of us would love to enjoy the deepest way.
Unfortunately some of us don't have a choice: theyre disabled people. For disabled people a concert doesnt bring only positive emotions: they have to face frustration for not having the right to choose their sits, for being placed in areas very far from the stage, where they can barely see and hear you. Having access to those areas is not easy: the procedure takes a long time, its complicated and often unclear. The humiliation caused by some security attendants behaviour is added to the regret of not being able to attend the show at the most: many people have been mistreated, teased, they couldnt have access to the pit. Moreover, areas for disabled people often are inappropriate and unsafe.
Our dream is to have an aerea for disabled people next to the stage, inside the Ellipse... and we like to dream out loud! We know you work hard to make this world a better place and this is one of the reasons why we admire you so much. If you will take care of this problem you will make us happy and maybe other artists will follow your example.
We can't fix every problem, but the ones we can, we must - Bono @ Live8
