If at first you dont succeed try try again! Glad you didnt give up!! We have seated tickets for Glasgow, to the left corner at the rear of the stage (if you are facing the stage from the standing area). I figured that at least we dont have to get there at 11am (friend is working night shift on the Mon night so he can sleep!) like we would with standing, and it'll be cool seeing it from another angle. . . . Wooooooooo! I am SO excited, this is the first time i will have seen them (well Glasgow will be my 2nd as i am going to Dublin 2 as well!!). 
You know, for me, the big mystery about ticket availability when U2 starts touring is always this: So many people profess their undying hatred for the band: 'they're losers', 'all their music sounds the same', 'Bono is a pretenious ass', etc., etc. So why, when tix go on sale, do the people who really want to see the band have such a hard time doing so? I mean, I know there are plenty of snakes who purchase with the sole intent of reselling to desparate fans for ridiculously inflated amounts, but still - that can't be the only answer... can it???
seriously though, there must be more diehards than we realize. I feel like casual fans wouldn't care enough to get online at the exact moment the tickets go on sale, but maybe they know how hard tickets are to get.
