Wow...not much notice....I hope I can get tickets. I would have to buy the Ticketmaster/ U2.com bundle. At least that way I can see if GA's are available before I pay the membership fee!
 
The Minneapolis show isn't on Ticketmaster yet. Is it possible the Mpls presale will be next week?

I just renewed my U2.com account after the Mpls announcement. It sucks that I'm BOOTS after already purchasing a membership earlier in the year and now paying $40 to renew. I'm happy we're getting a show in the Twin Cities but I would have renewed a month ago had I know we'd have a show. These late announcements are frustrating.

Ditto. :up:

Also, I'm not worried that the students will snap up the Mpls. GAs (if they are even offered GAs) in the presale. Too far out, too expensive in general for many college kids to think about. Not to mention the short notice.

GAs will be tough to get though because TCF Stadium is a small venue. Still, I got GAs for Sam Boyd with a BOOTS code, so:

Is it typically fairly easy to get decent $90 seats in the Horizon sales?
Click to expand...

I always pull up some, but they're typically the $90 seats at the other end of the venue, not the ones behind the stage, which I'd be much more interested in! For Soldier Field anyhow, the 250 price seats extend from rearish-side-stage allll the way to the curve in the back bowl, yeesh. Later in the general sale I was able to pull some 90$ behind the stage in the lower level, but in the presale it was either way across the venue or upper levels closer-in.
And the closest 90$ seats tended to disappear fairly soon early into the horizon day, as I recall.

I don't know what to do now, with Spartan stadium show, grrr.
I was settled on red zone, of which there is none now it looks like for that show, so I guess GAs and some attempt to make it there at a reasonably early hour :sigh:
Looks like the seats are mostly that cold nasty metal riser deal, so I think for sure I'd rather be on the grass, even short as I am...
oh well... good luck in the presales everybody!
 
did you notice the Montreal show is non-Ticketmaster and lists ticket prices as $300 Red Zone

also unlike other shows it lists behind the stage as $95
 
I clicked on the link from my presale email code and it said Hippodrome de Montreal. I googled that since I had no idea and saw this on Wki:
On October 13, 2009, Attractions Hippiques declared bankruptcy and immediately shut down all operations at the Montreal site, laying off all its remaining staff in the process. It is uncertain what the future holds for the site, however it is widely believed the facility as a whole will be demolished, as talks have been afoot among city officials to redevelop the land for housing even before it closed.
 
MPLS show - There are already plenty of ads on craigslist from people with access to the student presale selling their codes....

"i am a U of M student and can get tickets early for the U2 concert at the BANK let me know what your offer is and ill consider" - gee, how nice of them to 'consider'

:down:

whats with this stupid waiting room for montreal tickets?
Click to expand...

I was just gonna ask that. It looks so weird and it says it'll assign you a random place in line to get tickets. What's with that?
 
I'd go for Mpls first, especially if you're looking for GA's. The venue is much smaller, and they'll be gone quickly. With the Montreal waiting room stuff, it looks like the tickets.com site functionality from the Vertigo days. There is no 'skill' involved, and you'll probably just be sitting there looking at the window refresh until it lets you in to order while you cruise through your Mpls ticket selection.

I'd love to go to Montreal too - great town. Might have to get my coffee crisp fix some other way though.

Yeah, Montreal is on eastern time so you don't have to do both so the above won't matter :)
 
if you are in breathe, then the time does matter. I will be able to buy Montreal tickets at noon, because I live on the west coast.

Yeah it seems the Minny tickets are gonna be harder to get so I'll go for my one GA for Minneapolis first :D

Btw, has anyone ever tried using their code earlier then it says and gotten through :wink:
 
I apologize if this is a dumb question, but when the presales start, what page should I be on? The actual Ticketmaster page for the event?
