Does this mean 4 tickets to 4 shows OR 4 tickets total spread out over 4 shows? I am confused

4 tickets total which can be spread over 1-4 shows (your choice)

Its boring I know

sorry if its been brought up before or if its posted somewere.

how can i get tickets without being a u2.com subscriber? can i just line up and wait the day of the show? will there be sales at the GA? can anyone direct me on a good way to get them! thanks

kassandra · 03-14-2009, 07:01 PM

Thanks skjuls, I guess it would be too good to be true.

Kildare · 03-14-2009, 07:37 PM

I understand the U2.com website has a list of "on-sale to the public" dates. But when do the PRE-SALES start for each show?? Thank you.

mikeuk · 03-14-2009, 07:39 PM

clear as mud, as usual with u2com, but apparently 3/4 days before pre-sale we get an email ? Mike

We should be getting an email soon from U2.com announcing the presales this week for Paris, Dublin 1&2, Chorzow, London, Glasgow, Sheffield and Cardiff.

OK, so the pre-sale announcements come periodically as the concert dates approach. Not ideal but good to know. Suppose we should monitor this forum every day in case our e-mail is being slow!

You can try to get tickets through the General Sale which is after the presale.

Day of the show? slim chance only if they release tickets that day.

They are not selling all of the tickets during the presale.

OrARoundabout · 03-14-2009, 08:25 PM

When are the sale dates for the general public (U.S)? Anybody have any idea...you guys are pretty good at predicting these kinds of things! LOLO

Toki · 03-15-2009, 05:35 AM

Live Nation also states "more info coming soon" for UK gigs

I hope it goes on sale on a Saturday as Live Nation is blocked at my work and I dont want to take a days holiday just to get tickets!

**ramblin rose** · 03-15-2009, 05:45 AM

Maybe they realized having so many presales on the same date would be a disaster.

Initial announcement said Fri 20th March. I know that's been taken down now, but Friday's are custom & practice for the UK. I don't expect it to be anything but Fri 20th.

gareth brown · 03-15-2009, 11:59 AM

yeah i'll be pretty screwed if it's on saturday 21st.

haha

Harry Vest · 03-15-2009, 04:14 PM

If one is not a member of u2.com and is a regular concertgoer what would be the best chance at purchasing tickets for this upcoming tour?

-Computer?
-In person?

I know it's a stupid question but I'm staying with a gal in Vancouver whose never seen the band and really wants tickets.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Also, any idea of the exact date that the tickets for the Vancouver show will be going on sale?

Thanks.

Unless Livenation is very different from Ticketmaster in this respect - I disagree. Due to Ticketmaster's idiotic method of holding back many of the best seats, I've scored some great tickets to many shows with high demand(U2 included) by checking online a few days before, or the the day of, and specifically the 3-4 hours before showtime when it goes offline and the venue box office opens up. With all these (U.S.) $250 tickets and a huge number of GA's for each show, I'm hopeful people won't have too difficult a time getting what they want.

I would say online is the best way to go.

Keep checking u2.com on the tour page to find out when the sales will be. Also we will be updating this thread in the Tour Dates forum:

Friday morning, sales in Gothenburg were so brisk, that after 30 minutes a 2nd and final show (August 1st) was added with 56,000 tickets per show completely sold out by end of day. Amsterdam broke that record Saturday with the July 20th ArenA performance selling 60,000 tickets within 15 minutes of going on sale.

Additional on-sales this week include: Paris & Nice; Chorzow Poland, and London, Glasgow, Sheffield and Cardiff in the UK.
