Presale/General Sale Discussion - Australia/New Zealand

[KhanadaRhodes]

so jealous of everyone having money to pay for the tickets.

 

[ramblin rose]

So far this tour for the most part they have had presales for the 2nd shows in the US and Europe. Can't be sure they'll follow the same process for these though.

 

[cobl04]

i feel bad for not going in the general sales, you know, it's kind of fun!

 

[jarradhedley]

Vertigo 06 in australia they waited and put the second show for melbourne on sale 7 days later! so i think they may do it again and have a pre sale.

 

[coolian2]

lol, u2.com just emailed telling me i have two presale codes. of course, they've neglected to cross out the one i've already used.

hopeless, guys.

I got tickets for the Auck show easily, but the Tickmaster site for the Melbourne show does not seem to be showing any presale details? I know that it does not start for another hour but is this just me or is everyone having this problem?

 

[mysterious_jen]

i can see some melbourne details..
waiting waiting argh.

i'd give them another hour. ticketek didn't provide any real pre-sale information until it was time.

go via the link on u2.com as well. you've got a few days.

I wonder if the number of nervous wees has caused an increased demand on the sewage system this morning.

I can see it all for Sydney. Make sure you're going in through the link on the presales page, not just the ticketek site.

Sorry if this has already been covered, but have you guys been emailed the exact time you can enter the presale?

I thought Group 1 was at 9am altogether but it appears not

From U2.com FAQ

Q - How do I know what presale priority group I am?
A - There are four groups of subscribers taking part in the presale and the email you receive with your presale code indicates which group you are in. Our 'Horizon' group of longtime subscribers have access from the first morning of the presale. Our 'Breathe' group, who became paid subscribers before the 360� Tour details were announced on March 9th 2009, enter on the afternoon of the first day. Our 'Boots' group, who subscribed before the end of the 2009 presale (April 16, 2009), join the presale on the morning of the second day and our 'Magnificent' subscribers, who have joined since the end of the 2009 presale (April 16), can enter the presale on the afternoon of Day 2. Only after Day 3 does a public onsale begin. Please Note: We do not change your subscription category. No exceptions will be made. The exact times for access will be emailed to you and made available on the tour page of U2.com when you sign in.

that's no longer relevant, they've changed the whole thing up now.

 

[kajones1971]

Okay, forget that. I just re-checked the forums @ U2.com and one of the administrators says:
Amendments: It seems there are only 2 categories, group 1 (Horizon, Breathe, Boots and Magnificent) and Group 2 (Cedar) I repeat there is no staggered sale for the Down Under shows.


Holy #$% this seems very complicated on the U2.com wesbite. Lucky they're not being asked to count the votes in the federal election.

Sorry about that.

 

[mrnathan15]

10 minutes! Let's get excited!!! We've been waiting a while so enjoy the ticket experience as much as it can be enjoyed with all the nervousness and stuff! Hope ticketmaster's on the ball as a lot of people have pointed out, it better work!

 

[kajones1971]

Seriously, sorry to cause a freak out. It's just that was still on their AUS/NZ FAQ page and only updated through the community forums.

Anyway, let's focus and try and get these damned tickets in 10 mins.
