Basically the OK seats are $118/35/ticket and the better seats are $312.40/ticket. All face value from what I paid to Ticketmaster.

Hi Evan, How are you? Right now I only have 2 for 7/18 and I plan to use them with my wife. For all other nights I have some options. Here's a list... Let me know if you have interest in any others.

Hi everyone. I come here as "Santa Claus of tickets" for people looking for any New York/MSG tickets. The first thing I will tell you is that I discovered that you increase your odds immensely of getting tickets if you use the TM APP for iPhone. That being said, I was able to get a handful of tickets for all six MSG shows. In fact my excitement over the tour led me to go a little crazy. :-) What I'm looking to do now is either trade some of my tickets (really looking for at least one night of the GA experience) or just sell them for face value to fans that got shut out. At the end of the day I just need at least one ticket per show (one night i need two for my new wife :-). I'm not sure if posting what I have here would be frowned upon, but if you email me I'm happy to discuss in detail. My email is: mod edit : email removed, please use the PM feature for contacting each other, thanks I can also tell you that all the tickets I got are hard tickets so no need to worry about transferring them or whatever. Anyway I look forward to hearing from you and and hopefully we can help each other out. -Matt

I will say this...Ticket prices for any type of entertainment are insane these days. If you don't think it has to do with the wealthiest people in our society driving those prices up then you've missed the boat. I work in real estate in New York City and it's the exact same thing.

The TM.com process was far from relaxing. I'm convinced they slow down their servers on purpose. I don't know the math, but I figure a company that makes that much money tries to make more of scalping (I mean TicketsNow.com....Please). There's no way that a company that big shouldn't be able to handle almost any concert release - Much less a pre-sale for only a select few. I had 2 GA tickets for MSG 7/18 on hold and when it got to the payment page...It never fully loaded. I was just sitting there so I had to try a refresh and of course that released my tickets. When I went back it said that my code was used of course. I called U2.com and automated message told me to call back later. I don't know what happened, but I tried the code again and it worked. Got two tix in section 115 and didn't hesitate. The payment process took much longer than it ever does, but finally went through. I'm working on becoming more relaxed in therapy and this little episode set me back a few sessions. I hope you all got tickets today because Monday is going to be an absolute s*%tshow....

How do you know anyone selling a code actually has one NOW...And isn't either expecting one by 10am tomorrow or...Completely lying altogether?

Let me sum it up for everyone... U2 is older than ever. They're used to a certain lifestyle and probably don't have the energy to run around America/the world doing 4 shows a week for most of 2015. With one 360 Tour show in a stadium, they could make the same or more money as with THREE arena shows, and spend much less effort. This is one reason why you're seeing only 2 tix allowed for pre-sale as opposed to 4. Also we shouldn't complain about this tour announcement being so "last minute." That benefits real fans like us who pay attention and are up on news. I'd love to say that our passion would beat scalpers to tickets, but scalpers are sharks who can smell blood from miles away. This is their livelihood and they know how to get tickets better than we do. I know a ticket broker who is a member of every single fan club for every single band so that he can get the best face value tickets and then sell for more. This is what they do and unfortunately is something we need to work around. For all of us that don't have pre-sale codes yet...I have little doubt they're coming or did you ever consider that once you log on to U2.com tomorrow with your user name/password that you might get a direct link to tickets? Regardless I've been getting tickets from back in the mail order/Propaganda days and not worried about getting them now. I'm only worried about how I'm going to afford all the shows I want... And speaking of getting tickets...For those of you that don't know when a concert is listed as "SOLD OUT" it rarely is. All that means is that the portion of tickets the promoters were releasing to the public have been sold. There are always tickets unsold that are for "VIPs" that usually get released later. Unfortunately sometimes they are released to radio stations and brokers, but if you're savvy and on the ball you can score tickets right before the show for face value. For example...Went to see Depeche Mode at MSG a few years ago. When I say it was SOLD OUT...It was "SOLD OUT." The scalpers outside didn't even have tickets. I checked with the box office for 2 tickets and...ZERO. Nothing. My friend and I were planning on calling it a night when I said...Let me try one more time. It was 845pm and Depeche was going on at 9pm. I walk up to the box office and sheepishly ask, "Any chance you have any seats anywhere left." His reply, "Sure do. How about 12th row?" My point is...The system sucks, but if you stay on the ball you will get as many tickets as you want.

Maybe, but you might be able to... http://www.ticketmaster.com/creditcardentry Looks like you can "pass" your tickets to anyone else if needed.
