I think they're updating things little by little. Reliant Stadium doesn't have a U2 seating chart either last time I checked.

roseundconcrete · 04-10-2009, 09:05 PM

this chart should give a better idea of the red zones and GA...
i can't remember what site i got this from so i'll report back when i find out which one...

I thought I saw that one at Live Nation but now I don't see it so I guess I'm wrong. I think the map at u2.com looks the most accurate right now, but again who knows.

Thanks for the information. I just registered at UNLV and noticed that they use "Verified by Visa" for Visa credit card transactions. A word of advice, if you are planning to use a Visa card, be sure to register your card with "Verified by Visa" prior to purchasing your tickets or it will be a big hassle. I tried to buy airline tickets on Delta last week and they required that I register my Visa card with "Verified by Visa" before they would process the tickets. After trying to register my card, I received a message that the information supplied was invalid and my sale was cancelled. I ended up having to re-select my flights and then had to use another card (Discover) for the tickets. I just successfully registered the Visa card that I will be using for tickets by going to the Credit Union website that issued the card and followed the links - so hopefully I am all set for Tuesday!

bonocomet · 04-10-2009, 10:51 PM

Is that only Visa or is Master Card the same way?

myohmy · 04-10-2009, 10:54 PM

I have never had this happen when using my Mastercard. I think that "Verified by Visa" is a security tool only used by Visa, but I might be wrong.

bonocomet · 04-10-2009, 10:57 PM

Thanks!

It happened to me with Ticketmaster during the public sale for the Rose Bowl. By the time I registered my card, my time was almost up and I was sure I was going to lose the tickets. Luckily it went through and I got my tickets

Does anyone know if the different colors here correspond with ticket prices - ie, purple = $250, light blue = $95, etc???

bonocomet · 04-11-2009, 02:26 AM

Can anyone who has been there tell us about row numbers/letters. Do they start with the lowest at the bottom and so on? And on sections (such as 108 for example) will we know if we are getting in the lower or upper part of it since both areas have the same number?
Thanks.

With no pre-sale code and classes starting at 10 AM on Saturday, I doubt I'll be able to get anything. But we'll see what happens.

So I just tried to go 'verify' my visa card and it told me

"We're sorry your card is not eligible"

I think you're fine. Not all banks issuing Visa cards participate in the program, and if yours doesn't then it shouldn't even ask you about it when you purchase tickets.

**Sicy** · 04-11-2009, 02:48 PM

Well hopefully I wont even have to worry about it because I'm doing horizon presale and that should be done through ticketmaster (hopefully).

lancerla · 04-11-2009, 03:29 PM

which seating chart do we trust? The one here or the one on U2.com?

martha · 04-11-2009, 04:17 PM

Do we trust anything on U2.com?

zuropa_fit · 04-11-2009, 04:34 PM

When I bought my LA ticket, it asked me to do the verify by visa thing. I'd never registered my card (to my knowledge) but it went through fine.

martha · 04-11-2009, 04:50 PM

I have to do the verified thing all the time. Once you register, it's in the system.

For LA I was also asked to verify me visa. During the verification setup it asked my social security number. I don't know it (as I haven't been to the states to work in over a year), & my SSN card was locked up in a safe I didn't have access to at the time. I totally freaked out & had to cancel the verification setup

The actual ticket purchase went through anyway, without the visa verification, thank god! heart palpitations
