Holy balls, that sux! I will be travelling the two weeks before the show abroad.

It wasn't credit card scanners, but QR codes on mobiles. Since they were scanning codes at the I+E shows I was at outside the venue and it was sunny outside, the scanner couldn't read the code. So me and a lot of others could get in without being marked as "in". So I had my sister and a friend re-use my mobile QR code and get in for free. First U2 show and for free. Woo hoO!

That's when you order enough merch to have the discount be equal or more than shipping

If you buy a subscription now, you should be able to get tickets for London 2 Wire pre-sale this Thursday. I had a guy I know purchase subscription Friday few hours before all pre-sales closed for Barcelona. He got the tickets he wanted with no hassle :-)

Well, it's already 1 day between Amsterdam and Brussels. So if 2nd show is added, it'll definitely be Aug 2nd. It can't imagine U2 playing 4 shows back to back with no pause in 2 different cities, even if they're relatively close.

I'm in too! But I got my tix at presale. If 2nd show is added I'll have to do general sale :/

I assume that soon after the shows is marked as sold out here on U2.com, we'll get an extra date added. Unless it shows bad compared to other U2 shows... but seeing how I cannot select a single ticket on TM.be site, I'm sure that's not the case.

I'm also sure that not all tickets are made available right away. Like, for I+E I was able to get 4 GA tickets for a show like an hour after the tickets went on sale.... some 45 minutes after it was marked as "sold out" here on U2.com. Just kept refreshing and refreshing until I had my 4 required tickets.

Am I the only one who had a stress free sale / pre-sale.... with the worst being THAT IMPOSSIBLE CAPTCHA WHERE YOU HAVE TO SELECT STOREFRONT OR STREET SIGNS? I swear, I had to go thru like 4 sets of street front pictures before I could buy my tickets.

Extra shows in other sold-out cities too: London, Paris, Amsterdam. Woop woop!

GoPro is small enough not to cause issues with security. Small cameras are okay with U2 (from my experience) and usually other bands. U2 are also okay with folks filming their shows, so GoPro in and of itself is not an issue. However... as others have mentioned, be in the moment! The video will record the sound. It will record light. But it won't record feelings. There are plenty of other people filming the show, so you don't have to do it! Is the time spent caring about the camera, battery, positioning worth the time lost enjoying the show? Is it worth for a crappy sounding, very shaky video? I admin, in my I+E shows I took a about two dozen pics with my phone and that was enough. Most of them were pics taking during intermission or before/after the show. There are quite enough official pictures/videos and/or pictures/videos from other people to satisfy my need.

Ha! I had €3.19 total transaction fee for two tickets. Woo hoO!

Honestly, I'm dived on the whole e-ticket / paperless entry. With paperless or self-print tickets I don't have to worry about losing my tickets. Unless I lose my printed ticket or the CC right before my show, I can either re-print the ticket or contact customer support about resolving lost credit card issue. If I lose my physical ticket, that's it, I'm done - no more show for me. On the other hand, having a real physical with the band name and tour logo is amazing. A piece of memorabilia you can frame and save :-) At the same time, it sucks if the ticket looks like every other tickets from the same ticket vendor / venue. For example, my local ticket vendor... all their tickets, regardless whether you go to hockey, music show, theater, opera look exactly the same. There isn't even a teeny tiny band logo on it

I got my Dublin e-tickets immediately this morning. I got my Brussels immediately too... worried about London :/

Has anyone got the tickets sent to them already? I have the order confirmation but not the actual tickets yet. They do they that it's may take a few days before they're sent... but this is e-tickets we're talking about. Every single time I've purchased e-tickets, I've had them within minutes in my Inbox. :/
