Total Ticket is a commercial Ticket Broker. Do not buy these tickets unless you 1) are despearate 2) have tons of cash to throw around. No one has any tickets, including Total Ticket. They are selling them on speculation that they will get them. These are obviously sold at a high premium, but wouldn't be unless people were willing to pay that much.
U2.com has offered a presale arrangement for its paid members. See U2.com for details. See U2.com as well for onsale dates (normal, what you are used to) through Ticketmaster.
Stay tuned to U2.com and Ticketmaster.com for official on sale dates. Do not be surprised at the tickets you may or MAY not get at the onsale. U2 is incredibly popular, and generally ticketmaster doesn't get more than 10-15% of the tickets for the onsale.
You can use the forum here to get tickets if you get shut out. Meaning, you can trade with other fans or buy them for face value. Try also U2tours.com, u2concerts.com.
Ebay is another source, but buy with caution. There are often scalpers or fans looking to finance their own u2 plans by overcharging. We are all adults however and live in a free market. I have paid over face value many times happily for a good ticket.
Welcome to a wonderful and amazing world and culture. Best of luck in your first U2 ticket experience. It will surely be exciting and frustrating, but the pay off is very much worth the effort. You may have seen bands before, but you have never seen this one.
They have no equal.
