I also got the 'Not Eligible' email. I sent messages to the 3 moderators (Mich40, Bigwave, Max Tsukino). You can do that by finding a post from one of them then rolling over their name to send a message. In the address bar of the message draft, you can type the names of the other 2 moderators and it will look them up like an address book so you can add them to the message. What a crummy thing to wake up to when I was all excited going to bed last night! I imagine this forum is about to go nuclear as the majority of the east coast starts to wake-up and get into email. My concern is that the rejections are coming from Ticketmaster, not from U2.com. In Ticketmaster's eye, I'm not a verified fan due to previous purchase history? I have attended 10 shows over the last 2 tours. I buy a lot of tickets for my husband, family and friends. I travel to different states and sometimes different countries (Dublin 2015) to see U2. I AM NOT A SCALPER! I think I am the kind of fan that U2 wants to celebrate. Why is Ticketmaster calling me part of the problem! This Verified Fan program is going very poorly and I fear this is just the beginning. U2 kinda blew it with the public with the free album on everyone's iPod. Now they're going to blow it again by shutting out their most loyal fans from the presales. I'm keeping faith that this will work out alright, but the clock is ticking and I'm not very optimistic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me too. I have gone to hundreds of shows in my lifetime so I have purchased tickets to other shows for me and friends. Its a complete scam. Wait to see Stub Hub later today, there will be a ton of tickets on that site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber kseguin 1 Posted November 14, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 14, 2017 You should also be asking the people who got the second email, if they have more than one subscription. On another forum, people are saying it might be because they have more than one subscription. Also, I saw on Ticketmaster that the text message to mobile phones was only for North America.

They have made a complete cock up of this. Totally agree with you that they are pissing off REAL fans. People who work their socks off to follow them around the world. You’d think they have learnt from the past not to screw around with things but no, they prematurely announced and launched sales for this tour without being anywhere near ready.

Subscriber Vienis 14 Posted November 14, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 14, 2017 This seems rather strange. The wording on the message makes me think it is no mistake. I do hope in Europe we get "vorsprung durch technik". "While presale access is only one benefit included with your U2.com subscription, we recognize that it is important to many Subscribers.

" Well that is incredibly naive as presales are 99% of the reasons why people subscribe. If they blow this process their subscription revenue will evaporate. There are a lot of very annoyed long term touring fans out there that have received that second email. Amateur org. Edited November 14, 2017 by uruguay 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is ridiculous. Your post should be posted on the front page of U2.com. Is there another band that treats their fans so contemptibly? "Many people who joined U2.com and didn't get tickets are understandably angry. They now have the option to get a full refund of their subscription fee," - Larry Mullen in 2005 for the Vertigo tour. I hope the same holds true twelve years later. I'm eagerly awaiting another non-apology apology from Mr. Mullen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
