i'm sorry i'll tone it down, so you don't have to band me, and i don't have to sign back up again and all that bs

but come on the 2 shittiest things for me at a live show are 1. knowing the entire setlist...i mean please... and 2. the prospect of having a big fucking beam in my view

and as a bonus, i'm not expecting a buffalo date either.

4 years for this?

This is not true, we welcome all members opinions negative and positive, but when a member has 175 posts and every single one of them are negative (except the ones posting your email address to have users send you leaked songs), that is not welcome.

Yes, please tone it down.

corianderstem · 03-09-2009, 06:17 PM

I'm not exactly thrilled about it, either (stadiums? Only one date on the US west coast?), but they're still my favorite band and I'll be happy to see them even just once.

I'm just trying not to freak out too early about all the ticket stuff. I'll take what I can get, but if I can get what I want, then I'll be reasonably happy.

I am trying to remember from the last tour presale. Did we actually order off live nations website with are pre-sale code? Does anyone know how it will happen this time around?

Roland of Gilead · 03-09-2009, 06:33 PM

I think it is all venue specific. Live Nation owns Ticketmaster? (is this right?) You're best to check out the venue's official website and see if there is a link to event tickets. This'll tell you whether its Ticketmaster, Live Nation, or other. Either way, Live Nation collects it all in the end.

Fixed.

We're really gonna have to do some studying to see how the presale and general sales are gonna work. Aren't some sold through Livenation and others through ticketmaster? And isn't there something about Blockbuster getting an exclusive sale for the first few hours?

This has got to be some sort of passive agressive troll character you've come up with. It cant possibly be your real personality

MooMoo! · 03-09-2009, 06:56 PM

What is the presale and general sale date? (Uk)

gareth brown · 03-09-2009, 07:03 PM

General UK Sale for all 4 dates is Friday 20th March apparantley, MooMoo. So I'm assuming pre-sale is next Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday?

U2fan05 · 03-09-2009, 07:03 PM

got the email... whew

MooMoo! · 03-09-2009, 07:04 PM

Ah, so it seems I did get it wrong. A week early.

At least theres a little more time to look at seats and prices (if they actually let them out beforehand)

The sad part, of course, is that it very well could be real.

yeah, definitely! Good to know there's still SOME time. But that means extra worrying until 'the big day'

the only problem i have is WHAT TIME do they go on sale on the 20th?? I've got a train to catch at 11:16am [going to London to see Sparks do two nights, which pales in comparison to this now] meaning I have to leave at around 10:45...so if the tickets are onsale at 9 then that's fine.

AtomicBono · 03-09-2009, 07:33 PM

I have a GA question. what do you do if you're with people and one of your tickets beeps to get in the spider or whatever and the other two don't? Do they let you take people with you?

On Vertigo they let you take in a certain number of poeple with you, forget how many but it was like 1 or two.

ah sweet, thanks

I'd just feel shitty if I left my friends, and considerably more shitty if they left me...

**Sicy** · 03-09-2009, 07:43 PM

Last tour you could take one other person.... or more depending on whoever was letting you in..
