Wow, this is great!

Visited the Brandenburg gate this July, the day after seeing U2 live at Berlins Olympic Stadium, oh the memories this performance will evoke!!

Edit:- People experiencing major problems getting tickets to this show through eventim.....no surprise there!

omg,this waiting room again lol, so much tickets stress lately!

Vincent Vega · 10-28-2009, 05:16 AM

Looks like the entire site has given up. What a fucking shame.

achtung_girl · 10-28-2009, 05:18 AM

yup error!
since, when are you trying leif? I just saw the news today

Vincent Vega · 10-28-2009, 05:20 AM

Went to the page at 8.45. Sale started at 9 sharp. Am trying since then.

These **** *****!

What level of incompetency does it take? I logged in beforehand, went to the ticket section, selected two category A tickets, and needed to log in again. Then got into the fucking waiting room, after that fucking Internal Error, refreshed and lost the damn tickets!

Of course by that time Category A was sold out already.

Same hassle with category B. Got slowly forward step by step to be finally told that the actual quantity (0) doesn't match the target quantity (2).

Went back, all went fine, even got Category A again, made it two steps further, clicked the final link and now back to waiting room. The sale started one hour ago.
The main page now gives you this:

so buying german tickets is always this way?

Vincent Vega · 10-28-2009, 05:33 AM

Sometimes not that bad, but eventim is pretty incompetent. Adding servers would be service, but mean less profit.

Two times I had my hands on Category A. Now I finally got Category B, but I'm pissed it's not A even though I was there in time and almost got them. That is so fucking annoying. Now I'm ending up in some far away corner due to their utter incompetence.

achtung_girl · 10-28-2009, 05:40 AM

ok this is getting a bit ridiculous now. I have never been through this waiting room until now.

That's weird. I got through very easily. (After an hour and a half...

) But after that again... Very smooth

hedge · 10-28-2009, 05:49 AM

still nothing

achtung_girl · 10-28-2009, 05:50 AM

I got 2 for the B section now!
I'm not sure if I can go, if not I'll let you know guys!
GOOD LUCK!!!

Do we know for sure that Category A is closer than Category B?

I just got tickets, btw.
Not sure that I can go, but I want the opportunity. Otherwise I'll let you guys know and I'll email my tickets to anyone missing out/wanting more than two tickets.

Vincent Vega · 10-28-2009, 05:55 AM

It would be a big surprise if not. But there was no plan whatsoever. Maybe A is left and B is right or something like that. But usually, when you have categories A and B here in Germany, A means better and B not as good.

achtung_girl · 10-28-2009, 05:59 AM

Do I need to print this pdf doc. and that's it, or what?!

Axver · 10-28-2009, 06:00 AM

Those of you not sure if you need tickets, please let me know if you won't be using them. Matt, who's done all the filming for U2gigs, has been trying to get tickets and if he can go, I'm sure he'll come back with more awesome video like we had on the European leg of 360.

There are still tickets on eventim.de as far as I can see, but I'll let you guys know if I won't be going

hedge · 10-28-2009, 06:03 AM

Right. What's your plan? Come here, see the show and go again?

hcbiggs2002 · 10-28-2009, 06:04 AM

Well, I just got through and it would seem as though there's no more tickets available either standing nor seats!
