U2 360° Tour - General Tour Discussion Thread - Page 27

I got 2 gas right away for boston 2 this morning- still good seats available

looks like the weekend dates are the big sellers, weekdays have been easy getting tickets

I think it was a smart move by U2 to remove Las Vegas from their tour while L.A. ticket sales started. If Las Vegas was on sale during the same ticket sale date, do you guys think it would have sold out as fast or sold out at all? Let's see how Las Vegas does, I hope it sells out as well as other dates like Norman, Raleigh, etc.

Judging purely from the action on this board, I don't think they'll have ANY problem selling out Vegas.

myohmy · 04-10-2009, 10:46 PM

As for selling out Vegas, I am planning on going to Vegas and it looks like lots of others are too. During the Vertigo tour at the MGM Grand in Vegas (first night of the 2 concerts), I bought great tickets from a Scalper just prior to the concert for face value. During the Elevation tour at the UNLV Stadium in Vegas, my son and his friend got free tickets just before the concert - some guy (probably a scalper) was just handing out all of the tickets left unsold. This time around, since this is the first leg of the tour, I bet it sells out.

Why can't I give LiveNation my credit card info? Am I missing a link somewhere or do they just not do that?

You can't save your billing information in Live Nation.

What's this I hear about BOOTS and BREATHE codes being 'live' today? That aint right!

ntalwar · 04-14-2009, 08:59 PM

The NFL schedule is out. The Eagles are home that Sunday between NY and DC (as I suspected), which explains the lack of show.
The Jets are also home that Sunday.

I don't know about that. My code did not work last night, i tried after reading that somewhere so hopefully not true.

U2fan05 · 04-15-2009, 12:09 PM

i posted this in the presale thread, but in case no one saw it, i wanted to know if has anyone tried getting tickets at an outlet for the general sale? if so, what's the policy? lottery, etc. when i did it a few years ago for nba playoff tickets it was best available only. you couldnt specify location.

TheFly2U · 04-15-2009, 04:54 PM

does anyone think they will add anymore second dates for the US?
so far just Chicago, Toronto, Boston and NY/NJ in the earlier cities... seems weird they wouldn't double up on Atlanta, LA and/or Phoenix etc

Mr. BAW · 04-15-2009, 07:21 PM

And this is why we treasure our codes...so we can sell....

I hate to play devil's advocate here but if those are $250 tickets, then that's $1000, plus $200 - the fees were probably about $15 per = $60, so they're only asking $50 extra per ticket. Yes, everyone should sell their tix at face value but as far as scalpers go, this isn't outrageous.

Yes, that's only one example...there are plenty of $55 GA seats going for $500.

Pretty sure those are $95 tickets, according to the TM page:

Main Concourse - 200 level
US $55.00 - US $250.00

Hall of Fame - 100 level
US $95.00 - US $250.00

Upper - 400 level
US $30.00 - US $95.00

Mezzanine - 300 level
US $95.00

Field General Admission
US $55.00

If someone pays $500 for a single GA, then they have a screw loose. With a little determination and perseverence, they're pretty easy to be had for almost every show. Most brokers list tickets before the onsale for seats/GAs they don't even have, knowing they'll be able to buy them later for less. Look at stubhub, where there are tickets listed before they go on sale for "TBD" seats.

dward1 · 04-16-2009, 09:24 PM

What time would the concert begin and what time would U2 go on at?

Thanks

subnet · 04-16-2009, 10:26 PM

i assume you have seats and plan to skip the opening act...bad choice IMHO, but the concert should start around 7:30pm, U2 on at 9pm
