Las Vegas Presale/General Sale Discussion Thread

[Carek1230]

The page kept crashing on me too but I finally got thru, I kept hitting Refresh

 

[BEVERLY56]

So Kinsa, you got the $250 seats?

 

[Carek1230]

I believe (although I'm not 100% sure) that they do not charge you for parking when you get to the stadium, so $3 might be ok (compared to the $20 or more we'll pay at the Rose Bowl).

So if we are walking to the show we should get a refund of the parking fee?!!!

Chino it's at the UNLV site, NOT Ticketmaster. You can use the link on the u2.com tour page too!

those who got tix: explain how it worked!

 

[BEVERLY56]

I'm not gonna sleep a wink tonight.

 

[Sicy]

Sicy, you have 2 more tickets to buy...you saving them for the next leg?

Stalker.



I dont know, I guess.

 

[bratty_cat]

Did anyone have to enter their code again?

I had to enter twice, first time I entered it got the unable to connect message. Then it took me a couple more tries to even get to the code page again. It went through the second time with no problems. Is that what you meant?

 

[BonoFox1]

got pretty good seats I guess I got section 134 low end zone and if that chart posted earlier is correct these seats are not bad at all

 

[BEVERLY56]

Yes, we're wondering if it takes your code away if you don't get in on the first try. Apparently not, that's great news.

 

[_Sloane_]

can you break down the order...tickets/fees

sounds like it's almost $16 in fees

Um yeah total cost for 2 GA's = Total Cost: 152.75

Yes, pls.

 

[Chino]

It's pretty straight forward, walks you through the screens, first you put in your presale code, then I think select #of tickets, then which level seating. However I did it so fast I did not see where to choose a delivery option, so I guess it defaulted to priority mail, which is fine with me. Oh yeah you also had to sign in again.

 

[BEVERLY56]

Bad feeling there will be nothing left by 6PM ET tomorrow.

Yeah, I got two Chicago GAs that I originally had to cancel because of some problem with my CC. I tried again after I sorted that out and my code was still good.

It kicks you out a lot but like someone mentioned keep refreshing It was NERVE-WRACKING

 

[lauramullen]

It seems very similar to Ticketmaster, but Ticketmaster didn't kick you out. At least I didn't get kicked off

1. click on the link from u2.com
2. once live, there's an "enter code" button next to your presale group
3. click on that, code entry field comes up
4. enter code
5. click buy tickets (only after clicking this do you get the window which allows you to select which type of ticket and quantity you want)
6. select tickets/quantity
7. enter security ver. code
8. re-log in (did everyone have to log in a second time? I logged in before the sale but still had to re-enter my info)
9. buy tix!
10. confirmation screen

**not including the crashes along the way**

Oh hell, it keeps getting worse for Boots.

 

[roseundconcrete]

well for quick reference here's an easy to read chart i put up some pages back...not sure if it's totally accurate though

 

[popbellydancer]

i held on to my password for 4 GA's and got em! but in each section that you have to click on the server connection "timed out"...then, i was already logged in to my unlv account and it made me log in again. then once i pulled my 4 ga's and went to go to the next step it crashed so i was worried that i was gonna lose those tix if i refreshed but i had no choice!! anyway, it all worked out and was awesome!!!

i just don't understand why they needed me to enter my 3 digit veri code for my credit card after i had done that when i set up my account!!!


congrats to sicy, carlos and everyone! and remember....what happens in vegas, ends up on the blue crack!!

 

[Carek1230]

Holy crap, so 4 cheap seats cost me $51.75 in misc. "Fees".

I told my boss that I was coming in late this morning cause of the presale! Couldn't risk not getting these due to stupid firewall issues which seem to affect the most random things. I have a cool boss!

 

[BonoFox1]

2 VERY GOOD SEATS @ 95 each + Priority shipping

 

[waynetravis]

Oh hell, it keeps getting worse for Boots.

Don't say that!!

 

[Miroslava]

Was a little hairy, and had to have my husband do it as I walked him through over the phone, so YAY!
