Well...sad to say, that it seems having a TM account for me is not possible, b/c having a credit card is impossible. Having paid my card off and closed the account, it's impossible for me to open a new one. (Don't ask.)
So it looks as if my only option to have my friend buying for me on Monday or after:
1)as a "prole"--at the TM site itself, NOT through U2.com;
2) preferably on the TM app for faster service, though he can have a browser open to the site on a PC at the same time;
3)he'd have to use a different computer than the one he used for the presale, from someone who lives at a different address, (a friend's computer) since TM now tracks the IP address too?!?!?
4)under a different name, with a different card and billing address;
5)and this would be all for a show that I would have to go to with him, since this makes buying for another city impossible, but I checked with him and it might be doable for me to go to his show too;
6)He could buy the ticket for me, or 2 tickets to this show, and door staff only asks for HIS verification as the buyer of the ticket?
It sounds as if he's going to have to find a friend to buy the tix, (3 of them) and for that someone else to go to the show with us to be the "designated ID Provider".
Am I correct? B/c even if he's able to borrow an identity to get tix with, he can't be that someone at the door...amirite?
