There is a lot of cool stuff on this website. You have access to all of their music. You have access to all of their videos. You have access to the forums in Zootopia. I'm not trying to be rude but if the only reason you signed up was to get into the presale...that is the chance you take. Many of us have been paid members for thirty years now. If you are in the second group you will still get seats. I've never seen it happen that someone does not get seats. They may not be the seats you want but that's the chance a person takes. Check out this website. There is a lot of very cool stuff on it for any U2 fan. You also get a gift. In my opinion, those who sign up at the last minute should be the last ones to get a crack at seats in the presale. Those of us what have been paid members since Prop in the 1980s should get first crack at tickets, period, but we do not. We've been fans who paid for memberships for decades and are grouped with those who joined in December of 2016. It is what it is, however; it is extremely irritating to see people complain who only joined recently so they could get in on the presale and then they complain about how it works. I'm not saying this is you, rather; anyone who joins at the last minute. They seem to bitch the loudest. Many of them then let their membership lapse during years there is no tour and bitch four years later when they decide to pay because there is a new tour and they are not in that presale. Many of us have paid year after year after year. It is as it is. You may not get GAs but you will get seats. I would not fret about it. You did not waste your money. You took a chance. There is much more on U2.com than presale codes. If you only joined to get in on the presale...You'll find little sympathy or empathy on this site. It is the chance you take.

And as always, presale codes never guarantee tickets. yes, but that's not the issue. The FAQs now seem to say that u2.com members are not even guaranteed a presale code!

Subscriber passenger789 2 Posted November 13, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) To all the Worry Warts out there, pls read words used in the posts regarding what U2.com Team members say/write, perfect example above: - Registration does not guarantee a pre-sale code. There is a difference between "registration" & "subscription". You can register as a U2.com member without being a "Subscriber" to U2.com. I first registered as a U2.com member my first couple of years a few years ago, registering just allows you to have a member name, Forum posting priveliges & certain website areas access. Subscribing (at 50$/year, 40$/year renewal) gives you full access to the full site/downloads etc etc + a pre-sale code when the band goes on tour. Being a Member does not include/mean being a Subscriber. Pls stop panicking fellow Subscribers, all will be well.

Subscriber TChubb 5 Posted November 13, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 13, 2017 Just so I’m clear - if we use our 2 ticket limit code for a US show, we won’t have a presale code for European leg whenever those shows are announced and sold? sort of makes me feel the fans who used code for JT are being penalized. If had not gone to JT, could use that code for US tour, then renew for new code which could be used for new shows, including European shows?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most likely its one code per tour, regardless of when you renew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber jgreen 1 Posted November 13, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 13, 2017 If you didn't use all of your allowable tickets for JT, do they roll over to EI? I got 3 tickets for JT in Miami, but we were allowed 4 total. Would I be able to buy 3 tickets tomorrow during the presale, or would I have to stick with 2? We were going to take our son to the EI show, so that's really going to screw things up if we can only buy 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have 4 kids that saw the JT show over the summer and want to go again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
