Membership Card might be used

7:16 pm: Our crew is hearing tips from people that would know that your U2.com membership card will be used to determine the GA lines for all shows which did not have a presale.

If you're one of the many paid U2.com members who never got that card, we invite you to add your name to this list.

That's interesting news

 

[starsgoblue]

I never got the damn thing, this makes NO sense. If that's true this has taken a whole new level of ridiculosity (yes I made up a word)


I got all my tickets in a presale....I wonder if that's why I haven't gotten it yet.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Well that sucks for those who never received their card.

 

[oceane]

Ha! Now I really feel like bringing back that thread I started a while back about having a feeling that the card might be used to give some priority to U2.com in the GA lines...

Everyone made fun of me for that idea on that thread

 

[kobayashi]

all this really makes sense to me. there are going to be exceptions but on the whole these seem like fair provisions.

 

[anitram]

Well then, send me the fucking card already! It's only been 4 months!

 

[scottyT]

it doesn't make sense at all, the other GA people obviously went about getting a GA ticket, that's b.s. for the card holders to get preferential treatment, if it's a lottery it should be a lottery, if it's a line it should be a line. one or the other, dammit.

update from atu2.com

[q]7:18 pm: None of our immediate crew gets into the ellipse. The process goes like this: Get checked by security. Get your ticket scanned. Enter the arena. Approach a table with a laptop computer. When it's your turn, your ticket gets scanned into the computer. If the screen changes from blue to red, you get into the ellipse and are given the wristband to do so. If not, you get the regular floor wristband.[/q]

Please... like everyone in San Diego tonight just happened to bring along their membership cards?!?! Highly unlikely.

 

[amarks86]

Oh I hope this is true. My Van 2 tix didnt have a presale and I have my card!

This is only for shows where there wasn't a presale...there was a presale for San Diego.

I have 2!!!

 

[TheEdge1967]

is the u2.com membership card considered that credit card like metal kep chain????

 

[Sicy]

Every time I read about membership cards I get pissed off. I never got mine. What's worse is that I even had to pay the $40 to become a member instead of $20 since I WAS a prop member that never got my code or whatever. And I dont have a special ticket that says FAN on it so I will be split apart from the people I am going with according to the rumors.

Blah

Yes, I believe so!

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

It would have been nice of them to have enclosed some sort of note to inform fans who scored presale GA tickets to bring the keychain to the concert.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Here's the really stupid thing:

Let's say someone gets nothing at a presale.......but then gets GAs in the general sale..........they don't get to go into the fancy line because their tickets don't have "FAN" on them? Such a strange process they came up with.

 

[KentK]

This is only for shows where there wasn't a presale...there was a presale for San Diego.

Check-- didn't see that part. Tnx.

 

[anitram]

Does this mean I have to call those bloody idiots AGAIN about getting no card? Because dealing with them on the phone is as fun as a root canal.

 

[msbarb]

I used the contact form at U2.Com to inquire AGAIN about the membership card I never received. I think it was a waste of time as this was what popped up when I submitted the form:

Couldn't insert the info Thank you for contacting us, we will get back to you as soon as we can.

-U2.com

Geez!

Well I just received a call that it's actiually a rectal exam that determines whether you get into the egg or not.

so right idea wrong end of the tract

Bono must have been watching the Mole. Remember when they'd answer the questions on that, and if the computer screen would turn red when the person had the most wrong answers, and they were eliminated.

This sounds fun. Sort of like having the secret decoder ring from a box of cereal.

 

[thrillme]

Hmm, and I was going to wear it to the gig as a necklace, now I won't be unique.

Thats exactly what I thought of when I read about it.

 

[Ellay]

The scalpers have got half the membership cards haven't they?

 

[vivaSA]
