Did you do this????? Does it let you buy tix immediately?

I joined a few days ago, then got an email saying that I could buy GA or Lower Level tickets for U2 shows. So I logged in and got them tonight.

You can join at any time on their web site but I think that they have to activate your password during business hours - so you can log in and buy tix. So you wouldn't be able to buy until tomorrow.

Similar but my email was a little different. I think they have 2 clubs - one is Concert Club and one is VIP something.

Anyway, if that is from a friend - have them log in to get you tickets and save $35!

Well I signed up just now to the Concert Club. Hope it works.

You and me both. Until the tix are in my hands, I won't believe it - though they did charge my credit card tonight. One step closer...

You should get an email tomorrow from Premium Seating verifying your username and password - then you can log in and get tickets. Call them and leave a voicemail if you don't receive by mid-morning.

I think the arena's club allocation will run out before the Friday deadline but who knows. How amazing would it be if it were really this easy! I'll still try on Sunday for backup.
 
I dont even want GA's.. I want really good lower level seats.

I'll let you guys know what happens over here tomorrow. I would imagine you would need to sign up no later than tomorrow in order to be activated by the deadline (Friday?).

If you sign up at night - you have to wait until the next business day for them to activate your account.

The allocation for the Arena is the lower bowl, closest to the stage, so you should get great seats with Concert Club.

Good luck!
 
Well that sucks.. I didnt even look up the seating chart before I subscribed to the Concert club. Looks like the 'VIP' club seating is much better (blue)

The problem is that no one is picking up the phone, they just want you to leave a voicemail. So I am just thinking that nobody ever picks up the phone, they only call you back, I mean, it's 9:25AM, most offices open by at least 9AM. I guess we will just have to wait and see...
 
This password has already been used to purchase tickets and is no longer valid


U2.com sends us all that email yesterday, and of course TM, as usual, par for their course, knows nothing about it, and won't let us buy those 2 tickets. By the time it's fixed, if it is fixed, the presale will be all over.
 
what is up with this presale, i thought we could buy 2 tickets to 2 shows with prop password..What did I do wrong, I had no option during the process to add tickets to my cart, it just checked me out
 
Stupid prop never sent my password :madspit:


I just left a voicemail for the concert club thing.
 
I just spoke with Concert Club, they will be emailing us the information to activate our accounts within 3 hours, can't do anything over the phone.
 
Hi, I just got off the phone with a woman at The Oakland Arena. She told me that you cannot do anything over the phone. However, she said that within three hours, you will receive an email which will activate your account. Also, she said that there should be GA's available. Also, I believe that you will be able to buy GA to both shows, meaning you could get a pair of GA for both nights in Oakland.
 
I got two GA tickets for Oakland on the 8th....my friend tried using her code and was told that it had already been used, and it hadn't. Any suggestions on who she should call?

I never checked the chart because I only wanted GA's so didn't realise they had two levels of accounts...so how much do they charge for the VIP club?
 
VIP is like $200 :yikes:

Well I just got this email

I cant believe seats are $183 :sad: That is just so expensive.. I really dont know what to do. I might just say screw it.. I am seeing them in a couple weeks in San Jose anyway :sigh:
 
Great, I just got two GA's for Nov. 9th. How can I not go? lol. sigh. I really wanted seats but they are so expensive.

Maybe someone would trade me some VIP seats :hmm: lol.
 
WOO... I got 2 GA's for the 9th... :)

Thanks to a very generous person who gave me his prop fanclub code.

Actually I bought them for my friend and long suffering husband who is letting me go all over Canada & West Coast to see U2... so I figured I would let him go to 2 U2 shows :)

Just want to say THANK YOU to Finn (notlarry) for his code... 'I love you long time!' U2 friends are awesome!
