MERGED --> Has anyone here requested a refund from U2.com? + Demanding our membership

[sallycinnamon78]

Five people have responded to my post ready to do something, anything.

Yay for them! Fight the power.

U2.coN No grounds for legal action? Are you kidding. Part of the fraudulent sales pitch to sell the memberships was as a former Propaganda member you would be "at the front of the line" for priority ticketing. Sure seemed like an aweful lot of people were in line at the same time I was. Another aspect of the fraud, is the sale of more memberships then there was ever an intent to have tickets to distribute to. The program in place is called a "lottery", not a presale. How many memberships would have been sold if we knew how many memberships there would be relative to tickets? I faxed a letter to the Management company today and plan on getting a letter to my State Attorney General if there is not some type of resolution presented by U2. This is not only fraudulent, but probably criminal activity. I wonder if my State's Attorney has political ambition and would like to take on a world famous rock band, their management company, and ticketbastard??

good luck - you won't get far. Small print, etc.

So, everyone on this board has complained, but nobody has done anything about it? Some of you fans are the problem.

If I don't get GA w/ my password for the 3rd leg, I'm getting a refund. The only way to make them take notice is to have an effect on their balance sheet.

Don't be so hasty MrBrau. Some of us are waiting to see if we can get tickets to upcoming, unreleased shows.
I live in Seattle and took a swing at the Chicago and Boston shows. Absolutely no luck. Utter bullshit etc, etc. You've heard it all already.

BUT, I am waiting for the presale for the Seattle and Vancouver shows before I ask for a refund. If I can't get GA seats I will be demanding a refund. Loudly. Angrily.

If I dont get a pair of GA's and they refuse to refund my money, I will simply request a reversal on the charge with my credit card company....It may not work, U2.con will have to answer to the banks and credit card companies about the reversal requests when the Credit Card Companies ask what happened!

and now for a bit of sarcasm:

But wait..The only person I should blame is myself....After all, I was pretty late in joining their f'ing fanclub ..I have only been a member of since 1985....maybe if I was there from the beginning, I would have had a conncetion to landing some tickets....SHame shame on me!

I didn't try. I'm waiting for the 2nd US leg. If I don't get GA, I'll request a refund from U2.com, and take the $165/ticket I could've spent on reserved seats and buying GA from a broker. My friend got GA for Elevation for $150 or so. I'll only see one show. How'd you make out? Did ya snag any MSG?

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH FANFARE 1-800-615-1324.

THEY BLAME TICKETMASTER FOR THE PROBLEM.

THEY DID TAKE DOWN MY INFORMATION, I ASKED FOR A REFUND OF MY $4O FOR THE U2.COM MEMBERSHIP

IT SEEMS FANFARE IS THE ONE PLACE YOU CAN CONTACT AS U2.COM HAS ONLY REPLIED TO MY EMAIL WITH A FORM LETTER MAKING SURE I’M NOT INCOMPETANT IN MY ABILITY TO USE A WEB BROWSER

WHAT A JOKE…THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT I CAN’T USE A COMPUTER AND A CODE.

THERE ARE NO TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10 % WERE RESERVED FOR THE U2.COM MEMBER PRE-SALE, SO THAT LEAVES 90% FOR THE GENERAL, NON-PAYING PUBLIC TO BUY OVER THE PHONE OR THROUGH THE BROKERS TICKMASTER SCALPS THEM TOO.

WE NEED TO UNITE TO PROTEST THIS.

I tried for 20 minutes to get msg...then I said fuck it and went for the meadowlands.

they gave me behind the stage for $169 a ticket. that was at 10:30am.

at 3:00pm the same tickets were now located at stage left (great seats!)

now, they're at the back of the fucking arena.

Did you get the stage left? If not, $250 or less from a broker for GA vs $169 for reserved? See a show like that once. It's worth it. once.

back, like behind the stage? or back, like straight away from the stage. The huge plus of straight away is better sound.
