2015 U2 Tour - General Discussion Thread III

[grbounds]

I got tickets on the app after an hour and a half trying through each method.

NYC night 3. Section 111, Rear Stage (the 86 dollar tickets).

Please tell me rear stage isn't terrible? Plus, Bono moves around a lot so I assume he'll face each side at some point?

I had tickets behind the stage in Toronto for the Elevation tour, they were great.

 

[Moser]

Man, I just want a couple of GA to Chicago. Damn.

 

[clerks]

Exactly. Don't panic. Shows are a long time away. Plenty of people here will be selling tickets, etc.

And more shows will be added. They are making it easy on themselves but not traveling much, so playing 2 or 8 shows in same city is better than playing 2 shows in 4 cities. That's the whole idea.

also maybe people think Chris Martin is filing in for the tour also...

 

[PennyLanePHINS]

I just commented above that rear stage lowers are some of the best value tix around - you will enjoy.

Thanks! Yeah I was just hoping I wouldn't be blocked by a screen or something. 360 obviously that wasn't a problem, hope its the same here.

Though we don't know the stage setup yet.

What time does Ticketmaster.ca use? I read somewhere before there is a website we should be looking at so we're not constantly refreshing. Any tips would be great.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

I know it's last-minute, but *is* there any way to transfer tix to a friend if I end up not being able to get to that city?

i.e. CAN MY FRIEND IN NC HELP ME WITH LA TICKETS if she's not going to LA?

For paperless tickets, to the best of my knowledge, there's no confirmation as to whether we'll be able to transfer tickets between people or not.
So if you want GA, right now I would trend towards no.

I just used to the time on my computer. TM opened up right on the dot.

 

[grbounds]

Also, having "seat numbers" on GA tickets still messes with my mind.

Lol yep, I was quadruple checking to make sure they were in fact GA especially since I didn't get into the website right away.

That's what I was afraid of. :/

Haha! I love Chris Martin but I hope not!

Sorry.

A bit cliche, but better to be safe then sorry.
I'm sure we'll find out in the coming days whether we'll be able to transfer or not.

 

[~BrightestStar~]

For opening night of the tour, they should prank everyone and have him come running out to start the show.

 

[weinerdog]

I wouldn't mind, but I'll bet there will be no transfer. It would totally defeat the purpose of the paperless tickets.

 

[bfloxng]

Phoenix 2 GA's BOOM!

 

[~BrightestStar~]

I wouldn't mind, but I'll bet there will be no transfer. It would totally defeat the purpose of the paperless tickets.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

It would be nice if there was some loophole, where you could transfer tickets given certain special circumstances. Like, make it possible, but not easy.
Don't ask me how this would be done logistically tho.

 

[sharky]

They did it a bit on the 360 tour. We saw them on day 2 in Anaheim and the set list was definitely different than day 1. I'm sure there will be repeats both nights, but they can still vary the set list a bit as they need.

 

[Raid]

4 minutes - man buying U2 tickets is always such a nerve wracking experience.

 

[rosephile]

Ugh, the spinning.

 

[Wendyandkevinca]

Wtf? Toronto showed nothing, no doubles, no singles, then I was able to pull up a pair in sec. 120, and now they've gone back to the spinning wheel with a wait time of 10 minutes.

same here. tried for 1 GA, spinning with nine minutes. odd.

 

[littleheartsuitcase]

Whoa, that was intense. My hands were shaking. I'm pretty sure that took years off my life. I managed to get 1 GA for Chicago 1 thru the app, but the browser just spun and spun and would be really inconsistent with wait times.

Anyone for an interference Chicago meetup?!?

Question - if I had a single 100 level seat ticket, is it kosher to offer to trade that for 2 GAs? Never done trading before and I'm still going to be trying to score 2 GA for myself and a friend.

I'm gonna die here

 

[popacrobat]

Snagged a pair of club level for Vancouver 1. The app is so good.

 

[nuke126]

no luck with GA for san jose 2 yet

edit: 1 on app, looking for another

 

[cbradfly1]

Took 10 minutes of spinning but got a GA for LA 1. LA 2 doesn't look so good.

 

[Marcust99]

Just pulled 2 GA's for Vancouver1.. threw them back.. GO GET EM!!!

 

[LyricalDrug]

Sweet - snagged 2 GAs for San Jose 1 via the mobile app at 10:06 am, and then got 2 more GAs for San Jose 1 via the mobile app at 10:09. I already got 2 GAs for San Jose 2 in the presale.

Bring on 2015!!

 

[pepokiss]

If I buy GA-priced seats for San Jose, would I be able to trade them for GAs ?

 

[danondorf]

Got 2 GA's for the Forum!

 

[Halup]

I Pulled up GAs for Vancouver 2 and when I tried to buy them, it had me enter in my credit card info, even though i was logged into my account, and it was only allowing Canadian addresses to purchase. Anyone else run into that?

Fortunately my wife got the GAs on the app and I am fine in spite of this cock up by TM.

 

[pepokiss]

YES!!

THEY'RE PRINTABLE!!!

I can trade them!!
