MERGED --> All 3rd leg PRESALE comments, questions, etc.

^^I don't think you will be able to buy 4 tickets tomorrow. As a Prop member you get 2 tickets. Only Prop members can buy on Tues. Once you buy your 2 tix, your Prop advantage has been used. Starting Wed, as a regular U2.com member, you can buy 2 more tix if you haven't used your code. That is what I am anticipating anyway, if that makes sense...

I don't see any indications that it would work this way, although I think it would be fair. In the e-mail I got it didn't say anything about that, and even advised me to buy my tickets on Tuesday and not on Wednesday so I would have more choice.

I'm pretty sure we can buy 4 tix tomorrow, and in any case it doesn't hurt to try. I think what counts is that you don't have more than 4 total (for 2 shows) when they check later on.

Ewok, Super_Fan, etc.. can you please keep everything in one thread, I think you know how to work the forums.

Thanks.

Hey sweetpea!

 

[Chizip]

this thread scares me

 

[BWU2Buffs]

Anybody that has a pre-sale code, but only plans to buy 2 tix for one show, please contact me @ bcwgobuffs@yahoo.com -- unable to get a pre-sale code (no longer available with the subscription) -- you can certainly come to Omaha, attend the show, of course I'll be your tour guide and need to sit right next to you at the show.

Plus, you can hit the casinos, hunt duck and pheasant, and drink with me too... though we usually separate the hunting and drinking--- guns and alcohol don't mix.

Bottom line, no pre-sale code, looking for virutal assistance.

Good night.

 

[starsgoblue]

It's order got all jumbled up...

 

[Axver]

It's Murphy's Law - if I give someone my unused code, U2 will come to Australia and do a presale and I'll be left without a code, but if I hold onto my code, they'll just issue new ones or won't have a presale or won't even come. I feel bad holding onto my code when others could use it, but if the lads come down here, I'm going to want it ...

You can buy 2 pairs (total 4 tix) on Tues since it has the comment that they know you are a former Prop subscriber. I got 2 emails as well.

K, I'm prolly on crack - yes this is more fair, but I guess based on the email wording, maybe we can get 4 tomorrow, for 2 different shows that are on sale as of tomorrow...

3rd leg Bay Area date?

Is it just me, or are the only California dates for the 3rd leg in LA? Does anyone know if they might add any to the Bay Area, like Oakland or San Jose? Even Sacramento?

 

[bonosloveslave]

I may not have been paying close enough attention, but at least for the North American shows in the first presale/general sale, if they added more shows it was additional dates at venues listed. I don't think they added any completely new cities in the midst of either the presale or the general sale.

My emails are sent to a work computer...So far I have only seen the text to an email sent to a u2.com/former Propaganda member who got tickets for the first leg ....Can someone post the text to a u2.com/former propaganda who did NOT get tickets for the first leg? Please.

I want to see where it says I get access to 2 sets of tickets instead of just one. Thanks.

 

[kariatari]

I haven't gotten an e-mail yet....

Should I be worried yet?

GAAAH!! So many questions...

What time does the pre-sale start?

My emails:

Dear U2.Com Subscriber


It's official!

On Monday the new North American dates for U2's Vertigo//2005 tour will be announced. The tour will stay in North America right up to the end of 2005.

As promised in Larry's letter last month, we have worked to improve the system, to look after former Propaganda subscribers and those U2.Com Subscribers who have not yet been able to buy tickets for the tour. This will still be on a first come, first served basis and though we can't guarantee that you'll get the ticket you're looking for, this time remember you'll only be competing for tickets against other U2.com members who didn't buy during the first pre-sale.

****************

As a U2.Com Subscriber with an unused code from the presale last time, this is to let you know that your unique code will enable you to buy A PAIR OF TICKETS for any one show for the Fall leg.

You will be able to participate in a TWO DAY PRESALE this coming week, or the following week, depending on which show you want to go to. You will find your UNIQUE PRESALE CODE in the red box on the right hand side of the home page of the Subscribers site when you log in.

************

Dates and cities for this new leg of the tour are officially announced this Monday, March 7th. We will post the information in the Subscribers area of U2.Com on Sunday night - along with the information you will need to buy tickets in the presale.

There will be two separate presale periods for U2.Com Subscribers, each lasting two days. One takes place this next Wednesday and Thursday (March 9th/10th) and one takes place the following Wednesday and Thursday (March 16th/17th). Please log into the Subscribers area on Sunday night for information on which presales cover which shows.

It's no secret that the presale to the opening leg of the Vertigo Tour failed many fans. This new system should enable as many subscribers as possible to get tickets for the new shows. Again, you will not be competing for tickets with anyone else but yourselves.

And don't forget, your pre-sale doesn't begin until Wednesday, don't go in earlier as your code won't work.

Second email sent about 3 hours ago:

Dear Beth - U2.com Subscriber (and former Propaganda subscriber)

Today U2 have announced details of 33 more shows in North America between September and December this year.

As explained in our email on Friday, as a former Propaganda subscriber
who has not yet used your code to buy tickets for the 'Vertigo//2005
Tour' you will be able to use your code to buy ONE PAIR OF TICKETS FOR
TWO SHOWS OF YOUR CHOICE (4 tickets in total) in the presale for the
Fall leg.

For example: One could buy 2 tickets to a show in Washington DC and then
2 for a show in Pittsburgh for a total of 4 tickets.

THIS IS YOUR UNIQUE PRESALE CODE
*****************************
******
*****************************
(You will also find your code in the red box on the right hand side of
the home page of the Subscribers site when you log in.)

There will be two sets of presales.
Tuesday March 8th - Thursday March 10th
Tuesday March 15th - Thursday March 17th

Each day, presales run from 10am to 10pm local time.

At the end of this email is a list of the 33 Fall shows indicating which
shows are included in which presales and a list of FAQ's on the presale.
Once you know what show you want to buy tickets for, make sure to check
the schedule to learn which presale to take part in.

Follow this link to Ticketmaster to buy your tickets (all events will be
listed before the presales begin).
http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/736365?brand=u2

Please note: Be sure to make your purchase on the Tuesday of each
presale, when only former Propaganda subscribers are eligible to take
part. You will have much greater choice at all venues than you would on
the Wednesdays and Thursdays of the presales when other U2.Com
Subscribers will also be buying tickets.

As explained earlier, we have worked to improve the presale system to
look after former Propaganda subscribers and those U2.Com Subscribers
who have not yet been able to buy tickets for the tour. This will still
be on a first come, first served basis and though we can't guarantee
that you will get the ticket you're looking for, this new system should
enable as many Subscribers as possible to get tickets for the new shows.

Thanks again for your support, see you on the road

Best wishes The U2.Com Team

Today U2 have announced details of 33 more shows in North America
between September and December this year.

who bought tickets in the earlier presale, we are now reenabling your
presale code and offering you the opportunity to buy A PAIR OF TICKETS

thanks for the answer. just one more question. i used the code in the first presale but just once for one ticket. does this change something?

thanks again

 

[SkeeK]

here's a question.. i am a former prop subscriber, but haven't signed up for u2.com yet. is it too late?

i'd be going for TO shows so the presale wouldn't be until the 15th..

I do have my letter

You could inquire with Fanfire. Regardless, it's a gamble.

did you buy tickets in the first leg? if not, i that could be the reason. it only said one for me, but anyway i still dont know..
thanks again

 

[tawanda]

Don't know where to post this...

Just wanted to send out my love and thanks to the Larry and the band for reorganizing this presale! I think this is really going to make a difference for a lot of fans and block out the majority of scalpers!

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

 

[peacefrogdog]

I don't see any informtion for Ottawa or Montreal in terms of being on ticketmaster, likely because they don't use it for its tickets. Has anyone heard about how the presale will work for these two cities in the absence of ticketmaster?

Presale TECHNICAL Clarification (ticketmaster snag-point)

Good people – I need some help with the ‘technical’ side of the presale. Last time I got screwed out of 2 GA’s when the ticketmaster page would not accept my email and password. I thought that I had to enter my regular email address that I always use, every day… the one that U2.com sends me emails to (i.e. my AOL account). I think I was wrong – if I remember correctly, it finally accepted my ‘@U2.com’ address only (and I lost my chance at GA’s).

Can anyone confirm that ticketmaster is looking for the ‘@U2.com’ email address and password when they simply ask for email and password? I don’t want to lose my chance at GA’s again.

Thanks a million-

Monro
