My vote goes to the presale easily.

I don't know I think everyone is making U2 into this big bad person, when I think the big bad people are TicketMaster and whoever filmed the Boston show. I don't think that the U2 people were handpicking people.

Three f*ing miles back for $165 doesn't qualify as the best seats in anyone's house.
And as far as I'm concerned, to get back on topic, the presale takes the cake. At least in Boston no one's tickets were being taken away from them and put into the hands of scalpers.

The night of the filming of the Elevation DVD, security came out and handpicked a bunch of people out of the line to go in before many of the people that had been on line for hours and hours waiting to get in.
They picked the pretty people for the cameras.

And its a good thing they did. When buying my U2 concert DVD, I expect only pretty people/ hot girls to be on film. I feel entitled to that considering I'm spending my hard earned cash on a U2 DVD.
