New Pre-Sale System Coming (And it sucks)

[Headache in a Suitcase]

For those who didn't see the other thread... The last paragraph in the OP isn't true. He took it from Taylor Swift's website and changed the names.

Doesn't mean that a similar system won't be put in place, but doesn't mean that it will be exactly as stated there.

Could be as simple as just using the Ticketmaster Verified Fan thing to generate the codes we used to get in email and that they will go with the u2.com tiers that they always have had to prioritize when people get the codes...could be wishful thinking on my part, but we will just have to wait and see.

I would be happy with this. My question is why would they specifically name ‘Fanscore’ in the updated terms then?

Headache: reason I did this is because it was very well explained and i was too lazy to paraphrase the whole thing. Obviously put in U2 terms for better understanding.

Okay.

But it's still a little misleading if you don't know what you did.

Could be boilerplate to keep the options open, could be the general name of the technology but what goes into it can vary, your standing with u2.com could comprise your Fanscore.

 

[ramblin rose]

They updated the terms again today - Fanscore reference is gone.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeehaw!

 

[Hewson]

That's bananas

I don’t know why people have a problem with this. It is just pure capitalism. If people want tickets, they will do it. You’ll get tickets in general sales anyway, so what’s the problem?

"That's just the way it is" is a pretty shit defence mate.

I'm opposed to anything that makes music increasingly the preserve of the cashed-up or irresponsible (or both), and in general rampant hyper-capitalism can go fuck itself.

NATIONALISED.

A good sign.

Nationalise presales! Die, bourgeois scum!!!!

But the man said there'd be a bonus for buying 20 copies of the album!

Actually it isn't. Pure capitalism would be to charge much more for preferred seats, or to have ticket prices fluctuate based on demand. Referring friends and posting on social media ain't it.

Frankly I'd rather they be brazen about it and charge $300 for GA or whatever and get it over with.

 

[corianderstem]

I have no more energy to get all freaked out about presale stuff. It'll be fine.

My renewal isn’t until Feb 15 2018. U2.com says I’m not a Verified Fan unless I renew by Nov 12 - a full 3 months early??

Anyone covered this already?

 

[misfit toys]

I f you bought any tickets through the pre-sale for JT2017, you have to renew to be eligible for pre-sale for SOE tour. Your renewal date is still the same from what I can tell.

Same. I renewed anyway and linked my tm account and I'm still reading as "incomplete."

 

[clerks]

Me too.... i'm incomplete. I knew that already.

Log out and sign in again.

All i wanna know is where is my physical vinyl gift from the last time I plunked down my hard earned?

Lol

 

[rennowba]

Does this verified fan thing mean anything to uk fans?

SAME!

Also, is anybody else experiencing 'Bad Gateway 504' when trying to pre-order the new album?

 

[djparky]

I think it's only if you want tickets for US shows, I tried reading through the info but it gave me a headache and I gave up.

All I want is someone to email a sodding code that I can buy tickets with, not all this SMS, linking accounts bollocks- just to buy some concert tickets

 

[corianderstem]

My account says I'm verified, but it keeps asking me to "submit" my number for the SMS thing. I keep hitting submit, it keeps showing with my # and the box checked.

I logged out and in a few times, I can't tell if it accepted it and will just keep showing "submit" until the end of days, or what.

 

[misfit toys]

Yeah, I think the submit button stays lit no matter what.

 

[corianderstem]

Gotcha. Thanks!

 

[11 Oclocktictoc]

SAME!

Yep!

 

[singyourlife]

Yep!

Phew! I've searched loads of threads on here, but can't find anything about it. Is it a known error? Just got home from work, hard to keep up!

 

[11 Oclocktictoc]

I’m getting “Our store is temporary down for scheduled maintenance.”

 

[11 Oclocktictoc]

Renewal success finally
