so which gate do i head for to get to the ga queue?

'The GA line for Twickenham is across the road from Gate F. Check-In tonight at 7pm & tomorrow morning between 7 & 8am.'

is this nonsense? how can there only be one ga queue when ga tickets have gate c or gate d etc?

is it a 4 ticket limit per show? or overall for each cardholder? i have 2 tickets for the 8th but want 3 for the 9th too

 

Presale details:

Strange how U2.com says the Wires presale is on Thursday, but Ticketmaster has it listed for Wednesday. I wonder which is correct.

 

would like to find out too and plan my wednesday or thursday

on the news page...

'Due to overwhelming demand for tickets following this morning's public onsale, four additional shows have been added to finalise the European leg of The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 this summer.

These second shows will be at Twickenham, London on July 9th, the Olympic Stadium in Rome on July 16th, the Stade de France in Paris on July 26th and the Amsterdam Arena on July 30th.'

given the 3 gig limit at croke, is there not a single other statium/place in ireland that u2 could have pitched up instead for more than 1 night?

Does anyone know opening time for the experience bus by Apple?

opened 3pm yesterday. q'd for 40 mins. lasts 4mins.

^{AXS sent me an email this morning, no overnight camping, queuing from 9am.}

got that email too. the detail of that email is as follows

Hi,

 

Are you getting excited about U2 coming to The O2 arena, London? It’s not long now.

 

As you booked paperless tickets with card entry – here’s some useful info for you to make your day at the event go smoothly.

 

You’ll need to bring with you the card used to make the booking.

The person who made the booking will also need to bring valid photo ID.

You’ll need to have all of your guests with you at the time of entry.

 

Got all that? Then head into the tent, turn left down The Avenue and aim for the standing entrance.

Your card will be swiped to allow you and your guests entry to the concert.

You go in and have a great time.

 

Are you one of the people who love to be at the very front? If so – just to let you know that The O2 campus doesn’t allow camping overnight – so stay warm and toasty.

The tent opens at 09:00 and that’s the time you can come in out of the weather and start to queue.

 

 

Remember we can’t swap, transfer or cancel your booking, but if you still have a question? Drop us a line at supportuk@axs.com or give us a call on 020 3784 7998.

 

See you at the show!

i think they have made an error. i've never gone in the main entrance as advised above and

'turn left down The Avenue and aim for the standing entrance'

as far as i am aware, it is always go in the main entrance and turn right and walk past the restaurants to get to the standing entrance. unless they have special arrangements in place for us? here is the map

oooh ok cheers

 

ok london is not long now 

 

so how does the entrance to the north and south sides work? is there 1 main entrance for both outside and then just a run for the side of your choice once inside? or do they split you up outside before entering the arena? do they close off the sides once full?

Well, the entrance for standing at The O2 is entrance F, which is northside. Not sure whether they'll be letting standing people in through A and B, which are southside.

 

is edge northside?

okay thanks. will just have to wait and see how it all pans out on the day i think rather than second guess what might happen. got another shot on 29th if it all goes tits on the 25th

ok london is not long now

Alone. I'm going from Brazil.

 

once you've established your place in the queue and got familiar with those around you, will easily be able to go off and get food etc and rejoin again exactly where you were. i did it in berlin 09 on my own from 6am 

I don't think O2 allows to queue up/camp out during the night, never seen/heard of that and I have been to the O2 for countless of concerts.  

 

And indeed, what it was mentioned before re the queue, is correct, you line up inside the dome, depending where the entrace for GA will be, it could be in front the main doors or round the back.  

 

I am still hoping to get GA for one or two more London shows closer to the date.  

there are the main doors that get you into the dome and then once in the dome there is quite a walk to the ga entrance doors. what time do the actual main doors open? i guess there will be some sort of queueing system in place outside the dome itself until the main doors open. the walk from the main doors to the ga entrance doors is quite a walk. keeping your place from main doors to ga doors might be tricky   

and this guy came up with something too

chrome. even though it is a memory hog on my machine

during the morning of the o2 pre-sale, axs had this put up at the top of the page

'U2 Fan Club Presale 25 - 26, 29 - 30 Oct, 2 - 3 Nov'

an hour or so in to the pre-sale, the 2-3 Nov bit got removed. make of that what you will

and me

seems that way. gotta say i'm surprised. shows as all 4 dates completely sold out on the tours page. perhaps they are just finalising details and annoucing something later this week.

there are rumours of 2 extra dates at the o2 on the 2 + 3 nov. not sure how or when they will be added up for sale though

both. but what i am getting at is.....how many of the good seats have already been snapped up in the presale with axs.

i'm hoping to get 3 seats for one of the london dates. given that axs had the pre-sale allocation, would it be a better option to go with ticketmaster for the general sale tomorrow in the hope of getting better seats?

I know its early but do you think that there will be ANY consideration for Experience ticket holders?

absolutely zero chance. if you want to get to the front, i'll see you in the q at 7am show day

 

Although I've already posted this on another thread, it seems relevant to put it here too. It perhaps adds a bit of balance to the problems that have been reported...

 

I logged in at 9.55am this morning and joined the queue, filling in my necessary detail while I waited. At 10.05am I completed my transaction and got 2 £90 tickets for the London O2 on 30.10.15.

 

The whole process was incredibly smooth, nothing at all like the Vertigo fiasco.

 

Well done to whoever organised this!

Any idea what the GA #'s mean ?

 

just the allocation so the ticket retailer can keep tabs on numbers sold

to balance things out....glad to report that there were zero problems with the uk presale this morning.
