Presale Codes Not Guaranteed for Fan Club Members?

[cmooreNC 3]

I've been a member for years.  Am in the Experience group.  Got an email last night saying that I was "verified" and selected and would be receiving my code via text this morning about two to four hours prior to the presale start time.  Then two hours later I got a "Correction" email saying, in essence, "ooops, we were wrong, you're not approved and you're not getting a code but if you'd like to get a refund on your fanclub membership here's how to apply to get one...."

Do I buy a lot of tickets from Ticketmaster?  Yes.  I've been to 71 concerts this year.  I see a LOT of shows by many different musicians.  I happen to love live music!  Do I occasionally resell tickets?  Yes, as sometimes I buy tickets for a show and can't attend.  When I can't go, or otherwise have extras, I am usually reselling them at or below cost.  I have no idea if my "history" is what has triggered their algorithms to label me as a "scalper" or "potential scalper" or whatever, but to say I'm not happy right now is an understatement.  :-(

The podcast was wrong. The TM Verified platform is shit. We’re getting screwed. Time for a membership refund....

I've been a fan club member since before U2.com.  I received the verification email last night and then got a rejection correction email this morning.  This is bullshit.

Time for us to go back to the old mail in request maybe like we has to have before U2.com

I hope they are kidding me, too. Have been paid member several years now and got very same "CORRECTION" mail this morning. WTF???

Can anyone from U2.com tell me a reason of it?

I did not get a code and I am listed as an Experience member. So screwed up. Of course the phone number is busy!

This also happened to me as well but I did get the code in a text message. Frustrating!!

Check the other thread. It’s a lottery system and people are getting screwed. Many experience people will be rejected, even though many innocence people will get codes.

Congratulations on getting a code.  I still have not received one and my presale starts in less than 30 minutes, so I guess I'm SOL for this go 'round.  But hopefully I'll get one for the Citibank presale and there will be some GAs left for Nashville when I get my opportunity to try to buy tix.

We pay for a membership to get a code. Anyone who doesn't get a code should get a refund. It's ridiculous how screwed up this presale has been. I've been doing these presales with the band for a long time and always gotten a code. Today, they have screwed over some long time fans. I won't forget.
