Brazil/Argentina Presale-General Sale Discussion

[Niamh_Saoirse]

Please, if you and Flavia start passing out during the show, let us know so we can move into your spot, gracias.

We'll try our best but we can't promise.

 

[Fer Castillo]

Si, creo que es el equivalente local de Will Call.

Grazie!

For Sao Paulo, the ticket site says this:

"...e com um valor de pista de R$180"

That's about USD$104. Does "pista" mean GA Floor or seats?

Yes, pista is the field

Yes, pista is the field

Damn, USD$104 plus fees for GAs

If it's not all Will Call for us foreigners, I wonder how much they will gouge us for shipping.

No doubt.

From U2.com email:

"U2 play Estadio Unico de La Plata in Buenos Aires on March 30th, 2011 and Estadio Morumbi in Sao Paulo’s on April 9th.

The public onsale for both shows begins next week , but from TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST (10AM LOCAL) until THIS FRIDAY DECEMBER 3RD (8PM LOCAL) U2.com subscribers Group 1 (Horizon, Boots, Breathe, Magnificent) can enter a special advance presale.

Good news, at least we don't have to use all four of our tickets on one show, like in Europe.

The Argentinian site seems to be down right now, hopefully it will be back by the morning. Bummer though, I was going to practice buy to prepare!

 

[pepokiss]

Hi Niamh!

Tengo una duda, la opción de "Retirar en locales de Ticketek" es el equivalente a "Will Call"?

Gracias y saludos!

En verdad Will Call es retirarlos en la casilla del estadio.
Lo de los locales de Ticketek es acercarte a un local (el que sea, cuando sea) a retirar tu entrada

Want to make sure I am getting that right - "Retirar en locales de Ticketek" is picking up the ticket at a Ticketek outlet, not the stadium, right? Shouldn't be a problem either way though.

Nevermind, just did a practice buy and confirmed the answer (ticket outlet), and I'm good to go in the morning.

How did you do it? I´m registered and at the supposed pre-sale page right now but I fail to see any link to buy tickets. Thanks.

Red Zone Tickets

Red Zone tickets bought outside of Brazil are $599+ service charge

Price is $100 higher than indicated yesterday

Practice buy was with another show (didn't actually make the purchase, just went through the screens until giving up the credit card info).

 

[Andreianloth]

I got my ticket...GA=Pista AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Pop Artist]

Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeee, those seat prices were extortionate! Thought the Argentinian economy was still recovering some from the crash! Plus I didn't know quite what Cabacera was - if those were standing on a terrace or unreserved seats. So, I got a GA.

Red Zone was only USD $325 vs $599 for Brazil

 

[Pop Artist]

That's still a lot of money. Can't believe they had no non-field options under USD $100 except for the rear Cabacera.

 

[4U2Play]

The Buenos Aires GAs cost USD $90

The Sao Paulo GAs cost USD $134

Both are Will Call only for foreigners

The Sao Paulo fan club presale order page is all in English, while the BsAs page is all in Spanish.

 

[Niamh_Saoirse]

OMG OMG OMG! I have my tickets for the show! And I've also secured accommodation in La Plata.

 

[Pop Artist]

BTW, if you couldn't do the u2.com pre-sale, Muse will have a pre-sale on Monday, no cost to sign up to their website for the info.

Looks like Red Zones are gone for Brazil. Still able to pull single GA Floors, but no 2,3,4's

 

[pepokiss]

Hey Nick!

(For Argentina) when you say 'will call' you mean 'Pick up at a ticketek outlet' or there was an actual 'will call' option available (to pickup tickets at the Stadium)?

There was no stadium will call option for Argentina, just outlet pick up. Red Zone might be an exception (didn't check that).

 

[Pop Artist]

what are the prices for Argentina?

Lots of different levels but only one seating section below the GA price - click the drop down here for the different prices: Ticketek Argentina - Entradas para U2

 

[Fer Castillo]

Cool, thanks Pop Artist!

 

[Pat26]

If you need info about La Plata, contact me, I´ll be glad to tell you about my town...

 

[robbrecon72]

that's crazy how many price levels have been sold out for Unico de la Plata already and its only pre-sales! Same with Morumbi there are several sections that are sold out as well! i can forsee 3 shows in each city considering how well pre-sales are going.

 

[djsohl]

I find it incredulous that most of the seated ticket prices are $100 more than comparable tickets in North America and Europe. I am sad for the Argentinian fans who will be priced out of these shows.

Are these ticket prices the norm for this region of Argentina?
