I'm genuinely happy too for any long time fans on here who got tickets as I am one also. I'm just so disappointed that I did everything correctly but still got nothing.

And that's the thing, how far back do you go? When the rumours started? That way you might at least cut out some of the scalpers getting early access?
How committed are scalpers - do they keep renewing year after year and re-gifting all the delayed "free" gifts?
Or do they just signup whenever a tour by a major artist is rumoured?

Wasn’t there a tour (360?) with a 3 tier fan club presale? But then it went back to 2 tiers for all future presales. They should of made this specific presale 3-4 tiers within the fan club. Quarter of a million tickets for 12 shows of a complete AB performance (advertised as the only place you’ll see it done). And somehow a small fraction of this amount is held for a fan club that put 2 tiers within same window of the process that trusts the system will sort itself in a few hours. It really sucks seeing so many recognizable legacy fan club members of 20 plus years active membership shut out of both fan club and VF. That shouldn’t happen with this band.
as i've passed through my 12 stages of U2 ticket grief here - i think it's important for everyone to remember that as much as we make fun of some of the outliers in the U2 fan community - genuinely speaking it's filled with terrific people who are willing to help other fans out.
so keep your heads up, folks - check the boards here - check the Facebook pages - reddit - and whatever the heck the Ticketmaster fan market will be. a lot fans willing to help other fans out there![]()
This is *why* I don't bother to keep up my subscription, I just don't see the benefit. I'm sure it would've been more likely I'd have gotten tix if I had been in the ultra group, but no guarantee...

Which stage of grief was thinking to yourself "Maybe I actually am a rube for keeping my subscription active all these years?"

So that $60 a year keeps me alive.
I've actually really come around to this song recently!![]()

I wasn't planning on signing up this time either, but I got to the verge of maybe starting to panic, lol. At least I'll get that AB cd out of it instead of trying to remember to ask around if I could buy someone's spare copy. *shrug* Agreed, the gifts are things I sometimes really want!
