Looks like the presale will once again be done through ticketmaster and the general sale will start Saturday. That answers a lot of our questions.

thanks, was wondering when the gen. sale would start.

"DELIVERY OF ALL TICKETS WILL BE DELAYED ONE WEEK FROM PURCHASE TO VERIFY MEMBER STANDING "

What's that mean? For example, my TM account has a credit card registered that is not in my name (it's a family members). Would that cause a problem if the code isn't connected to the card holder?

 

[eep]

Anyone else notice that presale is listed to be after the general onsale? It MUST be an error.....

 

[ramblin rose]

There's actually 4 shows listed already. Only one has the general onsale listed as after the presale (the Tampa show). The rest have the general sale either the 12th or 13th and the with the presale the 16/17.

Why do I get the creeps that this is still going to be a fiasco. Maybe they will update everything correctly before tomorrow.

Although I'm glad they are withholding tickets a week to check the member status.

I wonder when the other shows will be posted on Ticketmaster. Hopefully by the end of today (I'm crossing my fingers)

That first paragraph where they say they are going to check member standing... This sounds like another way to verify if youre a scalper or that you are using your code properly (legit code, unused, etc).

They are really cracking down on this to make sure its run correctly. I have never seen this before. U2 and management are definitely involved in this wow!

Again, THANK YOU LARRY AND THE LADS!

Meh, won't matter to me, I used my presale code to get some upper deck seats in Chicago on the first leg.

Hope you guys who didn't/couldn't get any do well. If anyone in Chicago wants to buy me a GA ticket, I'd be more than happy to compensate them for the cost.

[Miroslava]

ok MODS...I Guess you are going to have to merge my thread with this one! oy vey... people can ya read the threads before you post an identical one.

Except this one is older than yours

 

[starsgoblue]

Someone please answer my question!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

<<< hangs head in shame...

[youtwohearts]

Thank you.

Someone please answer my question!

Personally, I don't think it has anything to do with your ticketmaster account. I think they'll be checking to make sure the codes are used properly, according the policy set out by U2.com.

And to double check that no limits were violated (2 GA 8 Ticket maximum per show).

That's my interpretation anyway.

 

[U2SJ]

So should my code (old Prop member) be showing up on my U2.com page? I dont see it. Just sais to check my inbox for details?
Does anyone really think they will add more dates.....I mean new cities not just add on dates in these same cities? Like Northern Calif?
Thanks

Thank you RR for your useful information! (wink wink)

I hope that is the case because the TM account credit card and the name behind the code don't match. I'd be bummed if I lost a ticket because of that.

You should still see your code in your profile or underneath the Elevation Picture in Tour info (after you login).

I really have no idea about adding dates.

[U2SJ]

Go to the "Tour Info" link. You use the same code as last time. It has been reactivated for one more use.

 

[editorinchief]

Ihad checked an hour ago and I didnt have my code under the elevation picture in the tour info or in my profile. I just checked again and it is there now
