Chicago, Toronto, Boston, and New York - PRE-SALE - All Discussion HERE

The Live Nation VIP membership can't possibly be the password that was posted a couple of pages ago.

Im not sure. We only have a membership for Boston area events. I havent received any type of password for Boston.

 

[romi]

the password that was posted was for the Giants Stadium presale

 

[mrclutch34do]

I'm guesing we are talking about a different presale.

Actually if that password posted a while ago only ends up being a generic password and not a personal password it likely wouldnt be something exclusive.

If it was a personal password it wouldn't have been posted.

I've got a "Horizon" password, and planned on going to the New York show at Giants Stadium. However, I have work obligations tomorrow that make it impossible to participate in the "Horizon only" presale between 10am - Noon. In fact, I probably will not be able to take part in the presale at all tomorrow.

So, I am hoping that New York gets a second show (perhaps Friday 9/25/09). Any rumors to that effect? I hate to waste a "Horizon" presale code (and not to mention miss U2 in 2009). Anyone have any reasonably reliable news of encouragement?

I got a presale code for Billy Joel/Elton John tickets - but I had to go through the email to get the presale box to pop up.

I got an email from Gillette but it just said I would get an email tomorrow. We also have a CitiCard. I have to use it to get Jonas Bros tickets for a friend's daughter on Wednesday - of course after I get my U2 tickets. Hopefully.

[kramwest1]

Anyone else getting a little misty-eyed that the presale is 8 years to the day of the Elevation Tour kick-off?

24 March 2001

I am so glad I made the trip to catch those shows and saw Bono spit at the guy.

I could almost guarantee they'll add a second show...especially because a friday show will get lots of big-spending new yorkers out of the city after the end of the work week. The question should be...3rd show?

Same here!

I just got an email from Citi. They're also having a presale tomorrow for the VIP packages.

I thought all the VIP packages were by auction only.

 

[U2JD]

Do you think using both the U2.com presale code (for 4 tix total) and one of these venue presale codes is asking for trouble?? It doesn't seem like it's breaking the rules to me since it's not exceeding the total allowed w/U2.com code... Thoughts?

 

[powerhour24]

when are we going to get Red Zone details??

 

[lilah]

I emailed TM and asked if Boston Red Zone would be auction or part of regular sale but so far no reply...

 

[ouu2fan23]

Does anyone know how much ticketmaster charges for their sales tax and for shipping the tickets? thanks

 

[siblis50]

NOTE: For Boston and Chicago, the pre-sale isn't just for U2.com subscribers it seems. Season ticket holders for the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears have also been given access to the pre-sale starting on March 24. It does appear that "Horizon" subscribers to U2.com will have a two hour jump start on the pre-sale before the Patriots' and Bears' season ticket holders.

 

[oktobergirl]

It depends what presale code you have. If you have a Breathe or Boots you will get it tomorrow I think

I am Boots and I got my email at 6:01pm PST...

 

[ramblin rose]

Red Zone auctions don't start until the general sale date. There will be a separate tab.

U2 tickets, concerts and tour dates. Official Ticketmaster site.

 

[Muldfeld]

If the Giants stadium sells out for the 24th, and they add a second date, does anyone know the pattern they have used to add another pre sale date?
Would it be the same day (tomorrow, 3/24) or do they announce another presale date?

I remember them adding 2 dates for Toronto when the main sale was occurring in 2005. So, no presale dates added. It's all last-minute stuff to meet excessive demand.

 

[smileymbcastard]

for everyone in Toronto we finally have a seat map on ticketmaster

 

[danpeake]

One hour to go!

 

[bonoishot]

One hour to go!

Good luck everyone.

 

[mikal]

One hour to go!

[ladyhawke34]

I suppose it depends on what show you're trying for...

Good luck folks!

 

[danpeake]

you mean 2?

One for NYC!

 

[smileymbcastard]

[mikal]
