They take themselves very serious. Time to step up. I'll leave it as disagreeing to disagree. Based on the reactions here and on Twitter, it should be obvious to the U2 organization that they alienating their fans. A petition from atU2 or other fansite will (in my opinion) not add anything to that conversation. Constructive and diplomatic feedback through atU2's contact may, and Sherry has indeed indicated they are doing that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But that's just me? you can do better - show us you care more about the fans than your access - you guys parade around it your At U2 "Staff" shirts and acting like it is a real job... how about being half of a journalist? You are directing your anger at the wrong place. The people who ultimately and finally signed off and agreed the process are responsible for the situation. Not fansites, nor forum Mods Also journalists (good ones at least) wait for the facts to shake out, wait until the end of the event in question, and collate information with suggestions to make sure this won't happen again.. as opposed to firing off in-the-heat-of-the-moment rants. I very much understand why you are angry, and I would be too in the circumstances, buts lets direct it to the people actually responsible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To add to this, from the @U2 fansite About/FAQs: "This site is not produced by, nor affiliated with, any or all members of U2 and/or its management. This site is produced by U2 fans for U2 fans" Is this your main job? Do you run this site for a living? No. Everyone on staff "works" for @U2 as a volunteer/hobbyist.

The GA's are reasonably priced and will sell regardless. The same is not necessarily true for a $390 ticket. I would like to believe that's not the intent of U2, but I would think Ticketmaster and LiveNation has this down to a science. Ticketmaster convinced themselves that the U2 "loyal Followers", would be willing and happy to pay the big bucks. Boy, did they Ever miss judge us!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber dugadams 1 Posted November 17, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 17, 2017 At U2 = sad. In spite of the staff shirts they think they are special. They are proving otherwise this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Madduxa4 6 Posted November 17, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted November 17, 2017 Hi Sherry! I stood right next to you in the Red Zone in San Diego! I was wearing the beautiful day shirt ?. I was one of the unlucky fans that got the shaft in this pre sale. I received the email to expect the pre sale code and then I received the “oops just kidding” email. I’m aghast at this pre sale. It’s a joke. Thank you for your post and trying to make sense of this disaster. I hope the band can make it up to the paying fan club members who really lost out.
