ok is it CONFIRMED the code we got for the TOUGH first round of the presale is STILL GOOD for ROUND TWO?  Has a mod somewhere or some release confirmed that.  I see they are opening the group up again, so now new folks can be creating and account and getting a code.  Boo lol.  Keep those $50's coming in.

Anyway, it does seem 1) if you were verified for last presale you DO NOT have to do that again 2) if you didn't use code now is your chance 3) the door is open again to clean up registration if you didn't get a code

Again, seems easy to follow.  The big issue is do you get a new code sent to you or same.

A few days ago I tried to renew my subscription, I filled out the form using my phone and didn't see where else to 'submit ' the form. Then I saw the "gift" button and JUST wanted to see info about a gift subscription, but instead the whole sale went through and there was no backing out of it. They also won't change the gift to my own renewal- so that's frustrating- could the forms for renewal & gift be made clearer and Separate?!

They just added a new show for Las Vegas! I have NOT used my presale code for the first show! I used the Citibank code instead! Will u2.com send me another code or do I use the same code I was first sent?

We are all waiting that word.

Odds that second shows will bear decent GA fruit for those of us who bought membies?  

Not holding my breath, but hopefully they take care of us.

Seems there’s additional dates for cities already scheduled, wondering if anyone thinks there will be any NEW cities announced (It won’t be the same if they don’t come to Phx Az!)...?

If they didn't come to a specific city you would prefer in May or June, they will certainly be visiting on following legs - so, don't think they're not eventually coming to a place near you.

They are beginning their tour here in North America, then clearly they are going to UK/ROI/Europe to hit the summer festival season. After that, they will either go to another region of the planet, or (much more likely) right back to North America in the autumn to hit all the cities that they may miss on the first leg. So, don't think, if your city is not on the first leg, that they won't ever be coming. You're right, they would never leave out Phoenix - if they don't come on the first leg, they will be there on future NA legs. They have followed this pattern for a very long time. So, sooner or later, they're coming!

Being an indoor tour I don't think they will play in southern Europe /hot countries during summer

I renewed my subscription to get tix to the show in Montreal. In the past, I've never had a problem getting GAs for Boston or Montreal shows. This time around, something made the process impossible. I'm not sure if it was Ticketmaster (or the Canadian equivalent). After waffling a bit and trying to decide whether I wanted to pull the trigger, I ended up buying mediocre seats just to get inside. Now I see a second Montreal date has been added. I'm so irritated! I feel like I wasted my code on bad seats, and instead I could have kept the code and tried to get tix for the new date that was announced. 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Can the code be reused? Can I get a new code? This is first terrible experience I've had with getting U2 tickets as a subscriber. In the past, it's been totally worthwhile to keep the membership so I can get tickets, but this time I'm really wondering what the purpose of it is...This is maddening!
