hey guys, this is my first post, but i have been following you crazy people in this thread, and the one before that and that one before that for a couple of months now, waiting and waiting for some good news and now it seems that its just around the corner, so i figured it was time to join the fun!
just a couple of thoughts; why would U2 sell through ticketek here, when they've been selling through ticketmaster everywhere else???
secondly, i emailed the following message to U2.com
"Hi, after months of speculation, it seems as though the U2
tour to Australia is looking good for March next year. I absolutely
don't want to miss out on good seats, so my question is this,
will there be a presale of tickets to u2.com fanclub members in
Australia? If not then I would really, really appreciate it if you
could tell me what the best strategy for getting good tickets is?
thanks a heap."
Suprisingly, I got a response back from them within 12 hours! which is rare for U2.com, and this is what they had to say:
"Thank you for your email. All announcements for confirmed official tour information will be posted at U2.com on the "Tour Date" section at u2.com/tourinfo/ -- Please visit us there for THE most up-to-date, official, and accurate information regarding tour dates, venues, ticket availability, and updates for all things U2 and the Vertigo Tour!
If tickets are available, please visit Ticketmaster at ticketmaster.com to make your purchase. U2.com does NOT sell the tickets, only Ticketmaster sells the tickets.
We understand there are many "unofficial", "affiliate", or "fan" sites out there -- there are also ticket brokers and "scalpers" that post incorrect or unofficial information -- U2.com is THE official website, and we can only confirm the information posted at u2.com. We cannot speculate on any future dates or venues. If it's not listed there, it's NOT official!
If you have any questions, please contact us at
orderhelp@FanFire.com or one of the following numbers: 1-800-767-7160 or 1-916-350-2016. "
so there you go, it seems as though they are trying very hard to convince me that its "not official" YET, and they didnt even answer my question about fan club presales, so who knows whats going on.
