I wish they'd go back to the old way of purchasing tickets; where you had to camp out and wait in line at the box office/ticket master booths.  That would really make people appreciate the convenience of being able to buy online.

 

Foo Fighters did that with their Beat the Bot campaign this tour.

We also received the same email. When the little lady bought tickets she said at first you could select the actual seats. So she did that and in the middle of purchasing, TM switched to best available. So she was kicked out and had to start all over. Which sucked because the tickets she originally had were front row loge right in the middle side in Boston. Se we are not as good but still fine by my standards. Regardless, I hope there are no issues with our tickets because if they did an audit they would see we only purchased two.

Sucks the tiny minority tries to ruin it for everyone.

I don't think you know until your tickets are picked up at the venue because they are paperless?.  that is how pretty much all the VIPs are done that I have experienced.

Well, i had to choose a city that is half way across the country.  TM hosed me out of 1st row loge center.  But I will still have fun.  And it is no fault of the band or this website.  Again, if you wanted those tickets in the city you wanted, those VIPs were there for the taking.  

This was nowhere near how bad it was for the Vertigo presale.  Anyone claiming that has a poor memory.  TM had some blips (and I experienced them as well) and that was the cause of many of our frustrations.  

The membership does not guarantee tickets.  It gives you the opportunity.  The moderators worked their ass off to assist after hours and really seem to try and accommodate.  They perform a thankless job and are probably rarely thanked and always take the heat from unhappy members who post a new thread stating their dissatisfaction with the tickets they received.  These things are in Live Nation's hands as well........not U2.  There was never any ticket guarantee of 4 tickets total....or per venue.  U2.com does not run your internet provider, your skills at copping tickets, etc.  U2.com is not going to place golden tickets on a satin pillow for you just because you are a member or did the recent membership (which would then be a silver pillow).  You can get that from the VIP packages it looks like though.  So if you want that treatment you actually have to pay for it.  U2 is not going to magically stop ticket touts.  Season ticket holders at venues get tickets too as well as touts subscribing here probably (imagine that).  But they are trying and actually did what many wanted in regards to the paperless tickets.

It would be nice to appreciate what we have.  I am happy to be going to Boston and seeing them.  The little lady had to do the purchasing and she is not remotely skilled at how to be quick about these things.  If she got us good tickets.....I don't know what to tell the rest of the complainers.  But I am HAPPY to be going and appreciate the code provided to us.  

Thank you U2.

There ar probably season ticket holders that already know what  they are getting.  U2 or any other band is not going to stop that.   So R E L A X.......

Makes me long for the good ole days of filling out the paper Propaganda ticket request form and waiting to find out what tickets you got.  That said, I was able, after quite a bit of frustration, to snag 2 GA's for 3rd NYC show.

So....you got what you wanted yet are still complaining?  OK.

We scored 2 tix for Boston on the Saturday night.  Seats not GA.  Too old for that anymore.

no offense, but 2010 is not a longtime member

Kinda thinking the same thing.

 

 

'different shows' ... I wonder what that means ....

 

That means 1 electric show and 1 acoustic show

an entire acoustic show ??

That is BS. Pure speculation by poster.

I like the ticket plan. Keeps scalpers out. The fan club has usually been 2 tix per sub. Or two per show with a max of four. So people complaining need to check it at the door. There is no family plan for ya!

No code here either and I am a Feb 2015 too.
