MERGED-->I GOT MY PRESALE TICKETS BRAGGING THREAD

[enjoyingmylife]

I got 2 orchestras (sec. 10, row N) whatever that is) to MSG 10/8. Anyone know what these are? Are they going to be obstructed by the GA people? They were listed as the best available reserved seats, so I certainly hope not! I was previously one of the lucky ones to get GA's in the last round, but my girlie won't go for GA since she's 5ft tall and slightly claustrophobic.

this is how they should have done it the first time...

Wife - 2 GA's for MSG 10/7
Me - 2 GA's for MSG 10/8

Thank you Prop. This is how a pre-sale should work.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.

Wow! I got GArden GAs for Maonday no sweat--I went for Monday cause I thought it would be ahrd--now I wish I had went for Saturday but oh well its still great! Cant be that picky!!

Wohoo-GA in may in Nj and Oct in the garden!

I know the first time sucked for a lot of people, but it's a learning experience for all involved. At least they learned from their mistakes and made the appropriate changes- kudos to the band for carrying the flag on this and making sure their fans (propaganda and U2.com) were taken care of.

I got 2 GAs for Boston for the 1st leg a month ago, and now 2 more GAs for Sat night in NYC on the 3rd leg.

 

[peacefrogdog]

Did anyone who may have been offered tickets that they didn't like (the location of) end up passing on them? If so, did you have any problems refining your search or choosing a different location?

 

[HelloAngel]

Two GAs to 10/7 and 10/10 at MSG.

 

[erised]

These are LOVELY seats... I was a level above you in the last tour and had an amazing experience.

Great, thanks U2@NYC!

Does anyone know if row A is the first row off the floor in that section at MSG????
(Sec 80, Row A)

Two GAs to 10/7 and 10/10 at MSG.

HOORAY FOR YOU!!! I know you were really bummed about not having tickets. I'm so glad it worked out for you!

That's great!!

I thought you hadn`t subscribed to U2.com though?

Got two tickets for MSG on the Saturday. I'll be travelling from the UK and making a holiday of it. Was told when ordering to pick up the tickets from the venue the day before/of the concert. Anyone got any experience of this? - are the queues as huge as they make me believe? Thanks in advance!

 

[beLIEve]

I wouldn't worry yet

OK, now I'm worried about the general sale Saturday...

I hope that all of the GA's weren't reserved for the presales!!!

Like everyone else who has posted, I easily got GA tickets for Atlanta after searching for lower level "gold circle" tickets right spot on at 10:00 AM. I got a pop-up message that all lower level tickets on the side and back were already sold out!!!! I then looked at the 2nd level, and struck out again in terms of what was left and what I would pay $170 for, so maybe 10 minutes ago I just ordered 2 GA's and got them confirmed in a matter of seconds - clearly says "GA's at this event will be on the floor of the arena with no seating".

So, my guess is that at least in Atlanta, more people are buying up gold circle tickets than GA. After that, I went to MSG and also searched for gold circle, lower level, and got awesome seats. I passed when I could not get my friend on the phone to confirm.

The only reason I'm going for gold circle near the stage is because I've had 2 serious back surgeries in the last 3 months, and even though I've got plenty of P.T. ahead of me and the doc's are optimistic, right now I can't walk, and the 2nd surgery was to correct nerve damage from 1st surgery. Long story short, I don't know if I can stand for 2 hours since I can't even walk right now. So, I may be looking to trade "up", or down, depending on how you look at it, for Atlanta. I've decided to try for Chicago gold circle next...oops, gotta go! Thank-you U2 anyway, this was easy and hassle free!

I wouldn't worry. Sure there are still others reserved!

[jsuhr]

Couldn't be happier. 2 GA's for MSG 10/8, 2 GA's for Dallas three weeks later. That'll be a good month.

 

[coreynyc]

I got 2 GA's for 10/8 MSG in less than 2 minutes. This ALMOST washes the bad taste out of my mouth from the first go around.

 

[jer2911]

it seems like a lot of people are HAPPY !!! May I suggest that if you are happy with how things went for you that you send a "thank you Larry" e-mail to info@numb.ie .......

They got alot of grief (deservedly so) from the first pre-sale (from myself included) and I'm sure they would appreciate a thank you.

 

[peacefrogdog]

I used my code today just to see if it worked, but didn't buy tickets as my presale is next week. I know there were glitches in the first leg of sales with codes - is there any reason to suspect that I will have a problem with my code next week because I entered it in this week (but didn't actually buy tickets)?

 

[locomosquito]

Did everyone in the world (cos Interference = the world) get 10/8 MSG tix? I also did...

How do you think they allotted the tickets this time around?

 

[U2One]
