General Sale March 30th for Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York + PRESALE 2

[eremin23]

Keep an eye out for a second Giants Stadium show. They briefly had it on the date page on Ticketmaster but took it down. They took Tampa down too

There's gotta be a better way to handle ticket sales. This has gotten so out of control.

The last time I stood in line for tickets was even more disappointing than trying online, though. I really wanted to cry that day and then a second Miami show was announced.

Guess who is gonna cough up the $50 for the membership today.

 

[nava1987]

At 10:05 there were no GA in Chicago. I had to settle for one ticket in section 432. Anyone who got GA are some of the luckiest people on earth

 

[powerhour24]

I guarantee you all that I had the best two word code to enter.

"any brokers"

No joke.

 

[BEVERLY56]

And to think people were worried that U2 wouldn't be able to sell out stadiums in the US!

Guess who is gonna cough up the $50 for the membership today.

I'm thinking I may do the same, but only if there will be enough time for me to get decent access to a second Chicago show.

 

[u2search]

Keep trying, tickets where something went wrong will fall free again every minute.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Have they announced a second Chicago show?

You and a bunch of other people I bet... this ticketing business never ceases to amaze me...

So the cost of GA tickets are really actually $50 + face value + TM fees...

 

[Tiger Edge]

The reason why all this is so fucked up is because of scalpers. It drives me absolutely bonkers. They should really only sell tickets with your name printed on them and you should have to show ID in order to get into the venue.

I think it will be slightly less hectic if you can get in on the presale.

I tried to get Chicago GA's to trade for Boston and forgot to specify "GA" instead of best available and ended up with upper level seating.

Congrats to the person who got my dumped tickets, because I let them go a few minutes later.

I got 432s, as well. I think that the vast majority of those 400 seats are $55. In the presale (which I tested endlessly) and just now, the only seats I could get for $30 were in that section and its surrounding areas (the ones which directly face a leg of the stage) or in the same area behind the stage (also facing a leg). Interesting. Very, very, very few $30 seats, in Soldier Field. I'm not complaining. Just observing.

if you join today you should have no problem, I might but I want to go to the sat show, not a sunday or monday. but the demand would be less for those shows

[one way out]

was able to get 4 GA's in presale for Toronto #2 show and then 2 more GA's in the public sale for the same show. Toronto #1 show all sold out at this point, #2 probably not far behind.

Good luck enforcing that in a 70,000-seat venue. No offense, I swear, but it'd take hours for people to get into the stadium if they were checking ID's.

 

[nurse chrissi]

I'm not able to pull even one ticket using best available for the Chicago show
SHould be announcing a second show soon

As soon as you sign up, you get the presale code (on the tour page).

 

[Cyranose]

I got in right at 10 for Chicago and couldn't even get 1 GA. I settled for 1 ticket in 237 but it's in row 1, so that's good.

I'm too afraid to keep hitting refresh waiting for a second show to be announced for fear Ticketmaster won't like that I'm hitting refresh so much and potentially get locked out.

 

[khaotix]

i got two GA's for chicago. i live in ct

 

[lovezeuser]

CMA, is that you??? It's Alma. What happened to your Chicago seats? I would call them. If you were within the time limit, and you really want the seats, I would call.

Yeah, it's me!

They are lost forever!!! I was on hold with TM for 25 minutes. I had two seats in section 243 which aren't bad for $95 a ticket. I hit the shipping method and continue. The session timed out because of TM being slammed. Never got to the "review order" page. So close! It's a Saturday night show so I figured, why not??? It was not meant to be. Oh well!

I'll be ready for the presales tomorrow. Though I will be landing in Chicago for a work trip at 8:15am. I hope Midway has WiFi!

 

[innominata8]

think there is any chance they'll also add on a saturday 9/19 show to gillette??

Yeah I noticed that too, I turned down the tickets that were off to the side of the stage. Do you really think 432 is gonna have some sort of obstructed view?

 

[circa1992]

I apologize in advance if this was already answered, but if I used my presale code last week to buy 4 tickets, am I out of luck for tomorrow's presale?

 

[Sweet Tart]

does anyone know which sections in toronto are considered obstructed view? i have 113a and i think mine might be but it didn't say that when i bought it.

 

[lauramullen]

I apologize in advance if this was already answered, but if I used my presale code last week to buy 4 tickets, am I out of luck for tomorrow's presale?

Yes. You can only get up to 4 tickets

 

[Imarocker]

I apologize in advance if this was already answered, but if I used my presale code last week to buy 4 tickets, am I out of luck for tomorrow's presale?

yep only 4 per account

 

[grbounds]

whats with ticketmaster's codes you have to type in?? i had one with 3/4 and 1/2, except it was the actual symbols (which i dont know how to find on the keyboard). i ignored them and just typed in the word in front of it, and it accepted it.... weird.

 

[Axver]

None.

 

[anitram]

Toronto #1 show all sold out at this point, #2 probably not far behind.

That's not true.

I'm still pulling up pretty good singles ($252) for TO1....
