MERGED-->Pittsburgh + pittsburgh sold out???

[bonojr62]

Pittsburgh-

Hey I'm a first timer at getting U2 Tickets. I'm looking to get GA seats. Does it usually fill up quick? And Does anyone have any tips at all.?

 

[madonna's child]

I'm trying for Pittsburgh, too! Are you from Pittsburgh? I'm from the South Hills, but I'm currently at school in Ohio.

The GAs will probably fill up within minutes. Any of these threads might help you:

Pittsburgh will go quick but that GA line you will have alot of line cutters.

bonojr62, i am in your shoes right now. i cant wait for tomarrow. i will get SEATS!!! hopefully. i too am from the south hills btw.

 

[popmart86]

also..madonna, i am also seeing sarah mclachlan in may at the MA. are you?

 

[madonna's child]

Yeah, I am seeing Sarah! How weird is that? My friend bought me tickets for Christmas/birthday. It should be a good show. I've been a Sarah fan even longer than a U2 fan.

 

[bonojr62]

I got my tickets! Not the best in the house But I'm there and so is bono so good enough

 

[madonna's child]

That's really weird. My post went above an earlier post.

pittsburgh sold out?!?!?!?!

i cant believe it!!!!!!! we sure came a long way from popmart and elevation!! they had better schedule another show, but in pittsburgh we have never had a second u2 after the first one. anyone know if it's really sold out though?!

 

[drummerboy]

Ticketmaster is currently listing no available tickets. Bring on a second show!

 

[ultrraviolette]

I totally got shut out of Pittsburgh and I am so upset I want to see the band in my home city again! I hope they schedule another show

 

[tiny dancer]

I didn't get any tickets either.

 

[ultrraviolette]

Here's hoping for another show Or I'm going to have to resort to Ebay and I really don't want to do that.

Hey - I'm really sorry to hear about those that didn't get tickets! I HIGHLY doubt another show will turn up. This is our first sell out, isn't it? Elevation did ok, but was that a sell out? And the 3 at Three Rivers had a ton of empty seats.

Could I ask for opinions - if you had a choice of sitting behind the stage in one of the first 6 rows, or in the middle of the arena in section C, which would you choose?

 

[ultrraviolette]

Middle C!

 

[NoControl]

This is our first sell out, isn't it?

Yes, it is. But it only sold out because there's no shows in Southern Ohio or Kentucky.

I'm sorry to hear that you guys weren't able to get seats. That suprises me. When I tried, I pulled a lot of seats in my searches, but I was only looking for GA.

Poor Pittsburgh, the demand is there for like a show and a half, but not two whole shows.

 

[popmart86]

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT PITTSBURGH'S FIRST SELLOUT!!!!!!!! ZOOTV SOLD OUT TOO!!! I READ IT IN ONE OF THE U2 BOOKS.

 

[BONOfidefan]

no way, I was there and there were a ton of seats left. No way did Pittsburgh sell out the stadium.

 

[Charlilaur86]

I think the tickets sold out within the hour. I tried for about an hour, got sucky seats and kept going back to get new ones and at 11 they said they could not fill my request. I got tickets off Ebay last week though. If you couldn't get tickets you may want to look there, I got two tickets below face value behind the stage. Be careful in doing that though, make sure they're real. Anyway I'm in B32 Row C... see everyone there!
