If you are a breathe member you can go right now and get tickets.

On another note, I may need to change my GA tickets for reserved. Where do i go for that in the forum?

anyone know of non-fan club presales happening for dallas?

 

[rastacruz]

Ticketmaster has screwed the pooch on this one for Norman. What happened to the OU/SMG presale at Noon today?

Those are working fine right now. No GA's thru those though.

 

[hcmiller]

yeah, there were no GAs for the boomer,smgtulsa,smgokc codes....

 

[rastacruz]

ya, I f'd it up and went to ticketmaster instead of following the link on my e-mail. oh well, i'll get tix on Friday.

Norman GA's

I know of someone that pulled GA's with the noon presale in norman. Kind of odd seeing this is the only venue presale that I have heard that had them

well they must have fixed it, im a breathe member and it says my password is not active so i guess i will try tomorrow like im supposed to.

If i cant get GA's then i might bid on the red zone, it would be nice to have my own personal bar and shitter up by the stage.

 

[cuneatus2]

Does anyone really think all of the Dallas GA tickets will be sold out before the General Sale? Seriously?

(honest question here)

 

[jadubya]

Gang...I would keep trying for the Norman show regardless of your group. I am a "boots" member and purchased my tix at 1005 am today! I went back in at Noon at purchased 4 more using the SMGOKC codes.

U2 is screwing the fan club members who pay $50 on the "hope" of getting pre sale tix "before the general public". Every Hornet season ticket holder and OU season ticket holder got an email with those codes.......and they sent them on to multiple friends......which leaves the "boots" members out in the cold if they follow the direction on the u2 360 website.

And yes....Norman will be a sellout tomorrow if it isn't already for the exact reason I stated above........and all the "regional" folks that will head down. It is gonna be awesome.

The West side of the stadium is the "back".......the East side faces the front of the stage......even though it looks to be a pretty cool "360" setup.

I disagree. As with the earlier presales, the U2.com ones provide a much better chance at getting GA tickets, whereas the blocks of tickets reserved for the various season ticket holders are usually not premium seating(or as much of it). The majority(vast?) of U2.com members here have been able to get GA's during the presales, but just about zero GA tickets have been available with all other presales.

 

[jadubya]

Well that pretty much depends on if your definition of premium seating is GA. I can see the incredible appeal of those GA seats but my main gripe with the system is letting in literally tens of thousands of non u2.com members to select seats before "paid" u2.com members.

50k OU season ticket holders (plus friends) & 13k Thunder season ticket holders (plus friends) come out to a whole LOT of folks available to get in line. Who knows how big the "block" of tickets is for this group.....but I imagine that is a pretty significant number.

 

[Rachel D.]

The Boots codes were working today and I missed it?!

I'm already stressed out; this is making it worse.

 

[rastacruz]

"paid" u2.com members were allowed to buy tickets today two hours before all the local presales went on. Today was totally crazy. OU students had a presale. Season ticket holders for OU, Thunder, Redhawks, Yard Dawgz and Blazers all had presales. They even had a presale for SMG-Tulsa.

I couldn't get the ticket I wanted today so I'll try again on Friday. After that, I'll have to decide how much extra to pay for what I want. Since I don't have to drive to Denver or Dallas for this or get a hotel room, I'll just put that money towards getting the ticket I want.

Try fansite trades / purchases before you go to another broker. Fans will sell you tix at face value. Good luck.

 

[rastacruz]

Thanks Zu! I'm very optimistic and will be trying all avenues before contacting ticket scalpers, er...brokers.

man i can't wait for the houston show. this is going to be my first u2 show ever, i'm taking a friend with me so its gonna be awesome..

 

[badu2fan]

Be careful ticketgod will find you if u play with the system too much. For the indoor zoo tv tour I was able to pull tickets easily but there was a limit of 4. Ends up I got 8 for one venue in two purchases. One was on the floor 20 rows from stage others were on side half way back. I was stoked but a week later TicketGOd emailed and said my one of my orders was canceled. The floor tickets were my first purchase and it was the one they canceled and I ended up sitting on side.
Play games with TicketNation and they will find you and destroy all in your path..........

 

[mrpoptop]

anyone know if there are still GA aval for norman? I have a friend that has a boots code.

 

[zoopop]

I have a handful of friends who know I love U2 and want to see them with me because I can talk up a U2 show . Anyway, I was able to get 8 tickets together at Reliant with the "Texans/Reliant" presale code in section 550 row B (mid-tier section facing the stage) for $42 each!! The section right below were $95 seats. I just placed 2 orders & was lucky enough the seats were next to each other.

I sent a text out to everyone who wanted tickets & everyone was ecstatic. I'm just happy that I'll see U2 in Chicago & Houston for $84!! I plan on going to Vegas and buying a $95 seat.

 

[DukeDalton]

My Boots was not working Wednesday morning, So I went with the Reliant code. I now have 3 club level tickets for the wife and child.
Good thing u2.com is sending the CD set, or I would feel cheated for spending $50 just for a pre sale code.

 

[U2fan05]

got my dallas GA. even though i have 1 ticket left on my code, i think i'll save it for 2010 just in case and try the general sale for norman.

 

[smk1379]

I got 2 seats in section 247! I could have gotten GA but I am to short so it might be hard to see!

 

[trevgreg]

I just checked in 3 hours after the sale began for Breathe members, and I was still able to get a GA ticket. Not sure if it'll still be up for the Boots sale, but there are still some there right now though!

 

[LPU2]

Just got two GAs to Dallas in my boots. But does anyone know if 2010 is considered a separate tour with a new 4 tix max?

good question!

i got two GA's for Norman and 2 for Dallas this morning, very easy process so far. I wish your friend luck.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

good question!

its a good question, and i don't think anyone really knows the answer to that yet, or even if we are sure there will be a 2010 leg or not. I'd say if you have ticket allocations now...use them. Next year is a long ways away when it comes to this stuff.
