U2.com's latest subscription "gift"

[BigMacPhisto]

Still waiting here in California.

Mine came in early December. My wife and son, who are also subscribers, are still waiting for theirs... (Southern California)

2019 it is

u2songs | Fan Club Vinyl: Most Still Waiting |

The vast majority are still waiting, apparently.

Got mine, though.

 

[deltau922]

I just want it before the Super Bowl, is that too much to ask?

 

[Rachel D.]

I want to stop being disappointed every day when I go to the mailbox.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Heh, same here. It's just way too much vinyl. This band probably has 10,000+ Fan Club members at the very least and probably way more than that given that Ticketmaster allowed people to purchase field tickets for the Joshua Tree tour before the on-sale provided they came bundled with the subscription.

I'm surprised they even got the vinyl out quick enough to begin with given all the pressing plant backlogs that there happen to be via the current vinyl craze. But it's going to take an eternity for a small scale operation like this to ship all these out even if they've already been produced. Part of the reason why they had the "Redeem" button on U2.com is just so that half the people that bought a membership for tickets won't know about this gift and bother receiving it. If you do the math, this probably had the potential of being the biggest vinyl release of 2017 in terms of units produced.

 

[RickFly]

I still haven’t received mine either.

 

[shewahlemon]

Got mine yesterday

This sounds like it should be a The National lyric

It does sound desperately lovesick.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Well, if they really plan on shipping them all out by the end of January, then everyone should have theirs by mid-February at the very latest.

 

[Hewson]

2020 it is

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Yep. Still nothing here. When the summary about these was linked to, they were on the cusp of having mailed out about a third of these one month into the process. At that rate, it won't be until early March that the last of these actually get sent out, so I highly doubt U2.com meets their goal of sending them all out by the end of January.

 

[Hewson]

2021 it is.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

2021 it is.

Where did they send yours to, the top of Mt. Washington?

 

[dan_smee]

Still no sign in Australia...

 

[Hewson]

2022 it is.

 

[corianderstem]

That's because Australia doesn't exist. Duh. Haven't you seen that news online?

How could I if I don’t exist?

In all seriousness - no?? That is kinda cool though

Edit: ok - just read the post - I remember someone mentioning this a while ago, but never looked into it. This is the best.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh yeah, it's a legit wackadoo internet conspiracy theory. It's pretty funny.

 

[zoocarolina]

Still waiting on my JT singles I believe from the 2017 gift. Was that right? Guess I should call.

Did you redeem your gift at your account info page? They brought in this condition last year, I totally didn't know about it and found it by accident when I was checking my presale code.

I would have been one of the first ones to do it. I noticed it and did it before any of the news sites announced it

 

[Rachel D.]

So a few weeks ago, fans who had not received it outnumbered those who had. Is that still the case?

Yup, redeemed it months ago.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Still no sign in Australia...

That's not true. I bet there are many signs in Australia. Why here's one now

It was stolen from Gronk's house. They thought you were his roommate and delivered it there.

I didn’t get mine either. I bought a set off eBay for a decent price, but really? They are quick to ship stuff I order, but not free items.
