U2 to Perform First Concerts at MSG Sphere in Las Vegas

[DeVaul]

Real estate agent said it would be helpful. Multiple bidders. Family parents died and lived there for 30 years. So it’s emotional for all.

They other real estate agent claimed the letter helped us.

I’d really like to see that penmanship, probably sealed the deal. Cursive clerks

I’m sorry i forget to add — I threatened to kill them all. And wrote it in their dead parents blood.

So the priority group for this is people who're subscribers before the Superb Owl announcement? Which is fine and they seem to have listened to criticism other artists have got about ticket pricing... and this method of presale is certainly less stressful... but... you know... is it alright to feel a tad bummed out they didn't chunk things up further? I'm not asking for a first priority group to be made up of Propaganda subscribers, but at the same time, I think I am

This method of presale actually reminds me of the Propaganda Zoo TV "presale" where you had to pick your shows and send off a cheque in the post to guarantee your tickets. Simpler times. And yet surely it must have been a ball ache for them to administer...

and this method of presale is certainly less stressful

Speaking as someone who suffered through the Taylor Swift ticketing shitstorm a few months ago on behalf of my daughter, Ticketmaster seems to have learned from that experience. Placing my ticket request was straightforward and simple. An existential fear of having one's monopoly broken up following an antitrust investigation will do that to you, I guess.

Of course, it is entirely within the realm of imagination that Ticketmaster screws all of this up in a spectacular cataclysm of greed, failed servers, righteous indignation, and fan-launched spittle come Thursday morn.

yea i mean it would have been nice for them to say "if you've kept your membership active for 10+ years you're in group 1, 0 to 9 years in group 2, anyone new from this date on is group 3"

but i'll take this. if it works, of course. if Wednesday comes and goes and i don't have tickets then U2.com can FOAD.

This system is not new, Pearl Jam used it last year (and may have in 2020, I can't recall), so it could have been used for Swifty, but the artist did not choose to employ it.

btw if anyone has any questions as to which fan group they're in on U2.com - they added it to your profile under account info.

Perfect



See you bitches from the front row!

Yeah, that's a much more sensible & realistic suggestion. Just would have been some sort of recognition for us longer suffering members I guess.

I wonder how fanclub many members there are at this point anyway.

I'm with you though, I'll be grabbing my pitchfork and fire stick and marching on their offices if I don't get anything in this presale. I'm already preparing for the worst and getting ready for on-sale day with the masses.

Is "Atlantic City" a good group to be in for the Vegas shows?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it's better than being in the Laughlin group.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

TLDR what do I have to do

 

[DeVaul]

Or the 700 Club

The artist also chose to put all tickets available for purchase during presale instead of just a percentage. Yet somehow ticketmaster got all the blame...

Specifically…
A) Non-lapsed members as of SB Sunday B) who plan on traveling to Las Vegas
C) who can stomach the ticket costs

I do like that it’s one show per membership, regardless of 1-4 tickets.

[but they probably should’ve limited the GA to 2]

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Mine says Ultra and I've been a member for like 15-20 years

yes. that's your group.

 

[DeVaul]

TLDR what do I have to do

Have clerks write a letter on your behalf.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Yes! Thank god they did that.

if you want to battle it out with everyone else to get tickets to all 12 shows so that you can get each member's ball sweat on your from 3 different angles? hey, go nuts (heh.. get it).

but holding this to 1 show per fan club member is the right move. give as many fans a chance as you can. then - once that's done - let them fight.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

TLDR what do I have to do

if you have a U2.com membership - go here now https://u2.ticketmaster.com/.com

pick the dates you think you could attend, the price point you're interested in, and rank them in order.

then - wait till wednesday.

if you're not a member (or if you're afraid of being closed out on wednesday) - go to that same site and make sure you're registered for verified fan. and then wait for wednesday and see if they email you.


or you can be a bougie asshole and book a hotel package - which will charge you way way way more than you need to, but will guarantee you a ticket.

the choice is yours.

U2 fans never cease to amaze me.

i should really stop trying to make any sort of logical conversation with people on the U2 Sphere facebook group.

 

[DeVaul]

For those who have registered, I’m assuming you can pick multiple price levels for the same show in order of preference? For example, GA for show 1 as first choice and reserved P2 for show 1 as second choice?

Dude I saw that pop up and opted not to join. Thanks for letting me know I made the right decision.

But, y’know, *DISH*

Nothing much new here but RS chiming in

Members of the press, including Rolling Stone, were recently taken to a rehearsal facility in Burbank, California, to show off some of Sphere’s offerings, which makes the traditional IMAX experience seem quaint and chintzy by comparison.

It’s people. We dumb. In my town people are upset about chic fila coming. Not because of politics but because of traffic. It’s not an empty restaurant for 3 years.

I didn’t see that. I have to check again. I did it so fast in a panic.

 

[DeVaul]

Looks like you can request multiple price levels to the same show but can’t prioritize between the price levels? They should fix that.

Shit. I didn't see that you could select MULTIPLE seating options.

 

[ascender_RS]

You can just go in and change your selections before Wednesday can’t you?
