Mate, You seem to have missed the bit where they weren't sending renewal emails and numerous people have stated such. I won't even go into your pompous, entitled, judgmental response. But you did miss the point, mentioned frequently, where this wasn't an issue in prior presales, But oh yea, you weren't buying tickets during those.
Again, no worries here. I got my tickets, as I'm sure others also figured out a way. The true point is to restore what should be a seniority based membership platform, as was the case apparently until 25 December of 2016.
The Vertigo tour was your first gig? So there it is, you were one of the "so-called U2 fans" that Larry Mullen Jr. mentioned at the time. Enough said.
Let's hope Larry steps up again in 2017.
Emails were sent... Actually, emails are always sent.
And not only that: the site notifies you that your subscription is about to end when you log in closer to your subscription expiration date...
It's true that glitches happen and in some cases emails could get lost... Having this in mind, it means you have to keep checking periodically the site...
also... sorry, but there are not "so-called U2 fans" or "real fans" around here. There are U2 fans, with different experience and points of view, but it's just that.
Please keep the discussion civil. Thanks.
