Chicago, Toronto, Boston, and New York - PRE-SALE - All Discussion HERE

[gvox]

red zone seats are NOT inside the center (whatever its going to be called this tour). its outside on the side.

I know, that's why I'm doubting whether I want to do Red Zone. Have already been backstage once Would be nice to get another look though, for sure!

 

[XBL_AchtungBaby]

Don't you guys remember from Vertigo. There's little circles/mats all over the floor. With your FLD/GA section and Row/Seats number when you get into the field you go to your appropriate circle/mat and stand there. Its pretty simple I think....

 

[U2FloridaFan]

Congrats to everyone that got tickets! I tried a dry run just to see how easy it is (didnt purchase anything) and pulled up a GA for NY real quick.
I cannot believe the fees...

My one GA ticket ended up being about $90 with convenience charge and 3 day UPS shipping. Apparently no ticketfast for GA.

Then I'll have to pay the same if an extra show is added...do they have Will-Call option since I'll be there a couple of days ahead? I don't care to do the "free" shipping which gets you your tickets about 4 days ahead of show. I want tickets in hand sooner.

 

[angelordevil]

What time do the presales start? I'm in the last group (Boots?), that opens in the afternoon on the second day, right?

I'm in the same group for Toronto...crossing my fingers that everything works out. I just want my tickets! *nervous enthusiasm*

 

[AtomicBono]

I marked both drop down boxes GA standing and then the second was general admission standing on the field and my confirm says Field6 GA standing full view...blah, blah, blah

yeah it says

"Please note that Best Available seating is determined by ticket price and not section/area. If requesting a specific area, such as Floor, please specify in your ticket request. For more information on U2.com Presale Schedule and Auctions, click here."

How is the stadium presale working anyway? Does anyone who is on the patriots mailing list just get to purchase tickets at 12 noon today?

 

[Steved1998]

I went through the U2.com link for Giants Stadium and it was no problem

 

[melon]

By the way, what is "Ticketfast" anyway?

 

[*Ally*]

i wonder why no Ticket Fast option for GAs?

maybe it has something to do with the lottery? (although on last tour, Ticket Fast GAs were able to be scanned for the lottery...)

good luck to everyone in getting tickets-- hope there are still some GAs left by the time the Boots sale comes around!

 

[BonosBaby12]

5 minutes!

ticketfast allows you to print your tickets at home. essentially you are buying a pdf file for each ticket you purchase.

 

[powerhour24]

It lets you print them at home, I like hard tickets (especially if you have to end up selling them), and that's free.

 

[CoachMcQuade]

Good luck to everyone trying for Chicago! Deep breaths!

Why did you pay for 3 day UPS shipping? Regular shipping is free and you usually get them in a week or two.

 

[clerks]

It says "NO MORE TICKETS FOR THIS PROMOTION" when I tried again for U2 tickets just to see what's left... either is recognizes my code is used up (doubt it) or the tickets they released today are gone gone gone.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Good luck to everyone in the presale today!

6 days til general sale!!

Your tickets are emailed to you as a PDF, and then you print them out at home and bring the print-outs to the venue. They are not the traditional "hard tickets" that are snail-mailed.

whats the benefit of paying for UPS shipping when USPS shipping is free??

and will call isnt usually available for same country tickets unless you buy tickets a day or 2 before the show.

 

[girlwcrimsonnls]

I think I'm going to wait for 2nd night dates and hope they give new codes out (I think they did that in 05 didn't they?) I'll purchase 2 tickets then, and sell the other 4

 

[gvox]

Wouldn't it be great if for every pre-sale code there was at least one or two 'scan' allotments?

IE, every 4th ticket barcoded from a presale code got a scan-in code? That would be really nice for us loyal Horizon members

 

[U2FloridaFan]

I guess cause I'm obsessive and want them in my hot little hands as quick as possible.

There were no second codes in 2005... only one code

 

[gvox]

No, it does recognize that your code has been used up. I tried my code again before others here scored their NJ's and it gave me that message.

I also tried manipulating the code by a digit or two and that gave me an invalid password message...so I believe they've got it pretty air tight this time around..

unless, of course, someone wants to figure out the algorithm that they used to generate presale codes

 

[girlwcrimsonnls]

I think I'm going to cry....

 

[smileymbcastard]

Dont lose hope belive me you will find buyers on this site for your tickets. i think you can use the same code for the 2nd show unless you have picked up the maximum tickets allowed. you can check on the u2 . com membership site there is a set of rules on presale codes per show

 

[BonosBaby12]

I got my tickets!!!!!!! G4

 

[girlwcrimsonnls]

I'm on hold with toronto ticket master, maybe I should call Vancouver instead, I'll get through, what do u think?

 

[gvox]

I think I'm going to wait for 2nd night dates and hope they give new codes out (I think they did that in 05 didn't they?) I'll purchase 2 tickets then, and sell the other 4

I wouldn't do that. Buy what you can with your code now, you can easily sell or trade them later. The GAs will sell out at every venue, I'm positive.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

See y'all in Chi-town.


That was so ridiculously easy I'm almost afraid I fucked up or something won't go through.

 

[medmo]

holy crap that was easy. 2 GA chicago. it's great because I got screwed on the last tour.
