Ticketmaster UK seem to have changed their terms

[cdparky]

Don't wish to scare anyone, but got this off the UK "more info" bit -

Performance Information: Please note: You are strictly only allowed to make one booking for this tour. There is a limit of 4 tickets per booking and because you can only make one booking, you can only book for one venue. Therefore you will be unable to book for more than one venue and unable to book more than 4 tickets at your chosen venue. Multiple bookings will be cancelled without notification. Seating chart: U2.

When they went on sale on Friday, they said we could book up to 4 tickets across any number of venues as long as it was no more than 4 in total. Wondered if anybody else had seen this change to the terms?

all that does is guarantee that whoever wants to go to more than one venue has to buy from a scalper in order to go. People should be able to space those 4 over as many venues as they want. In the U.S. they still have the 8 tickets per venue here.

I saw that note at the start of the pre-sale last week, so its been around for a while.

TM have always stipulated 1 transaction per customer. Other agents allowed 1 ticket across four venues (ticketline being one example)

This restriction was posted clearly on TM's website before the general sale. It has also been discussed a lot here already.

However, the problem a number of people are having is that it wasn't posted prior to the presale starting so people with multiple codes were buying more than 4 on the same credit card.

I didn't grab a screenshot, but on Friday they stated in the UK on the "more info" bit that you could buy up to 4 tickets, which could be 2 tickets for 2 venues or 4 for 1 etc. The terms of the general sale have been changed. The pre-sale was always limited to up to 4 tickets for one venue.

That was Ticketline.

TM clearly stated on the general sale that you could only make one order for the entire tour. I, and several others on this board, spoke to them before the general sale started and this was confirmed. They told me that this specifically also included the presale so you couldn't order on the general sale using the same name, address or credit card.
