Hi guys...I bought two GA tickets for Toronto 2 this morning. I'm very excited to say the least...but...I have a concern.

I purchased the tickets with my girlfriend's credit card (who will be attending with me, in case anyone is wondering

Does this pose a problem for me, if the tickets are purchased under her name, using my u2.com code?

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation...or am I? Hmmm...any help or advice for an excited, and little nervous ticket purchaser?

Thanks!

 

[ultrraviolette]

My name is on the membership, but I used my mom's credit card. I don't think it should be a problem.

I bought 2 GA tickets to Toronto...but i noticed when I was purchasing them that they said FLOOR 2....what does that mean? I was under the impression that it was going to be a same day draw? I am hoping to get as close to the stage as possible (as i'm sure everyone with GA's are) and If someone could clairify, that would be great!

 

[eruditz]

Any Montrealers who could tell me whether I have more of a chance of getting tickets through admission.com, than through ticketmaster? It does seem more reliable than ticketmaster to me.

Man, I am so freaked out about this Saturday.

 

[angel_28]

Its only through admission.com that you can get tickets here in Montreal Ticketmaster doesn't work for us.
So try by phone and Internet at the same time...i wish you the best of luck! :

GA to both Oct Philly gigs, as well as the two May ones.

Goin to that dress rehearsal gig in LA in less than 10 days as well!

You have to buy your ticket from www.admission.com or by phone 514-790-1245. Actually ticketmaster.com is a lot more reliable under lot of pressure than admission.

Good luck

 

[eruditz]

Thanks, both of you! I was wondering because ticketmaster.ca provides absolutely no information at all, and this is the first time I'm buying a ticket for a show this huge.

It's just a way of sectioning off the floor for administrative purposes. When they have seats on the floor for other events, they are sectioned off into 9 sections at the ACC, I believe. When they have GA, they will still section tickets off, say 300/section or something like that, but it doesn't mean anything with respect to lining up.

 

[U2_Fan_Forever1]

Thanks! I was worried that I wouldn't have as much chance of getting up close. I manged to find out through ticketmaster that the floors meant nothing and that it was only for inventory purposes and I appreciate you responding to my question! Thank you!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Got my Detroit 2 GA's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I freaked for a minute because they asked for the 3 digit # and I'm using my mom's card, so I had to call her at work and when she came on the line I was almost barking at her! My poor mom... lol


GA's for two shows in a row, damn!

 

[Miroslava]

Got 2 GAs for Detroit 2 as well!!

Was done by 10:01!!!

 

[bonosloveslave]

4 Detroit GAs!!!

Got the first 2 on the first try, only 1 minute wait.

Next two came through after 3 tries - 1st request under GA (no tix), 2nd under Best Available (second level tix), 3rd try under best available gave me 2 more GAs!!

 

[bbison]

So far, Detroit 2 isn't selling so well. I'm pulling up pairs in rows 2-3 in the 200 levels, and pairs of 100 level seats in 116/117.

Well, I can tell you GA was pretty much gone within the first 5 minutes...

No one said Detroit 2 would sell out in the first hour, but it will sell out for sure...

 

[ToddJ]

Is it ok for me to buy 2 general admission tickets on the general sale day this Saturday, when I had bought two GA tickets for the same show during the pre-sale? I think it is allowed, but I am not sure...

 

[Miroslava]

I don't believe that is safe if you are using the same credit card, name or billing address... it is 2 GAs per show per household. Use someone else's credit card (that doesnt live in the same place as you) to be safe

 

[MsMofoGone]

WOW !!!! Miracles can happen !!!

[GibsonGirl]

Okay, I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm getting nervous. For the general sale in Canada, it is 10:00 EST, right?

 

[eruditz]

Yes, it is. I double-checked!

 

[GibsonGirl]

Yes, it is. I double-checked!

Thank you. That means I can go eat some breakfast. It's 9:42 NST, so there's still a while to go yet.

 

[U2Girl1978]

Is Montreal at 10:00????

 

[The Disciple]

ATL is so f***ed, I was in right at 9, and it took 4 minutes for them 2 tell me there were no GA!!!!!!! We'll see about Miami...

 

[mattgoolsby]

I was right in at 9am as well and requested 2 $97 seats for Atlanta. After about 2 minutes it told me the only two seats were behind the stage. Something is seriously not right with that. i figured that everyone pulling GA and the expensive up close seats would get tickets while I was doing the middle of the road.

I do not remember the first show last week selling out that quick.

 

[senrab]

Buffalo 12/9 Sec 110 Row 26

(behind the stage, but oh well)
