Las Vegas Presale/General Sale Discussion Thread

Also, what happens if it gives you crap tickets and you reject them? Are you then unable to go back in and try for different ones?

There's probably nothing to worry about.

I think someone should call that phone number I posted above and ask them that.

Just keep breathing...

this is how I understand it: You won't lose your code UNLESS you enter it in a presale other than your category. For example: I'm Breathe. If I enter the code into the Horizon presale, I lose it. But I can't lose it be going in a couple minutes early for my presale because it won't let me. I will only be able to enter my code when my presale is active.

in other words, I can't experiment like I have before by entering my code into the horizon presale. The horizon members will have to give us a detailed account of what buying tix is like.

This makes sense. You're probably right. It does look like there will be three separate places to enter a code, depending on your category.

I'm still nervous.

[bonocomet]

I still am worried about the other question though, about not choosing the first tickets we are offered, especially since their seating chart doesn't show the stage set up

Where did you see this info?

I'm waiting until after 10 just to be safe. No sense in risking losing my presale code.

[RedRocksU2]

It was at the bottom of the page

[kramwest1]

Well, at least the seating chart at U2.com has section numbers on it. Still, this really pisses me off how they have kept the price levels hidden basically right up until the show goes on sale.

It's on that page below the presale schedule.

[bonocomet]

Yeah I'll be going by the u2.com map for sure. Just hoping a better detailed one will show up on UNLV tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath.

[ramblin rose]

So, are they having a Red Zone auction for Vegas? Maybe that's why Sam Boyd has a u2 show on TM?

[bonocomet]

I think you are correct-- the page looks like it is set up for three distinct links or forms that only go active at the correct time.

As for the second questions about tossing tickets back, I'm guessing that entering your presale code just gets you into the ticketing site. Once you are in, you will be able to browse around the different ticket prices, categories etc.

I also wonder if their system is really going to know that my pre-sale code has 1 or 2 or whatever remaining punches on it.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow!
