This is why the recommendation about never let your subscription lapse goes in effect...

I never have. Came close a couple of times because I almost forgot, but remembered just in time. ?

Well, im stuck with them with 2 subscriptions for another year. Even tho i used a presale code, ticketmaster MADE me buy another subscription.  not happy with how this whole thing was handled and have never had a problem before.  Im a long time member and my loyalty was compromised.  I dont see the point anymore.  Congrats on your GA!  The only way to see u2!!

Same here, longtime subscriber too. That would make me not happy too. Wonder why that happened. Maybe someone at U2.com can make it right. Agree about GA. But after Chicago, I think I better workout to be ready for September. ?

Got my GA tix thru the general public sale.  Bye U2 dot com. 

Congrats! Just got GA for two more shows in general sale too, but these are stadium shows so that may have helped. For any future shows in arenas, could be tougher. Not ready to say bye to U2 dot com just yet. ☺

Ticketmaster is a joke! I used up my presale code for the first leg so I tried TM directly this morning. At 10:00 a.m. sharp I made my request and at 10:03 a.m. TM tells me there aren't tix available from the venue...but resale tix are already posted. So much for preventing scalpers. TM wouldn't even let me transfer tix to a family member for a show last month.

Try again. I got a GA 20 minutes into the sale. I was only going for one ticket though. Good luck! 

I had only one ticket left on my presale code and was able to get one GA for Indianapolis about 5 minutes into the sale. I went to the full Ticketmaster site via Chrome on my tablet, in case it helps anyone.

Hmm, I see there's been lots of activity on here since page 1. ?  Gotta love presales ?

O' happy day! My code is back! I sure wish I had the chance at 4 tix, but I'll take my 1 shot and hope for the best. Fingers and toes crossed.

Once again, thank you bigwave, Max and mich40, for your patience, assistance and reassurances. Have a feeling you mods may need of one of these once presales are over. ➡????☕

Good luck to everyone trying for tix in the presales and beyond. ????

You can buy 1 ticket with the presale code once it appears on your profile page... this will happen as the date/time of the presale approaches...

in the meantime... patience and zen. it's time to plan and wait until the presale code appears...

(apparently it is!) o_O

Ok then, patience and zen it is. ?

Thank you to all three mods for the clarifications!

Ok last question I swear! I used my presale code to buy three tickets total earlier this year, two for Chicago 1 and one for Chicago 2. According to one of the responses above then, I should have the opportunity to buy one more ticket in the presales for the new shows. However, that code is missing from the tour page. So they have removed all presale codes while auditing them before sending out emails and putting them back on the tour page?

Is it Max's turn to answer?

Thanks, Lesa

hi Lesa yes, no codes are showing yet

Ok, I just read in another topic, that because this is an extension of the current tour, that we probably would not get new codes even though resubscribed. Is this true?

Btw, I had the date wrong. I resubscribed in late Feb of this year as my deadline was approaching. My deadline was  early March.

Thanks, Lesa

Hi bigwave, Max and Mich40.

So I don't see a presale code on the tour page. I resubscribed in early March. I don't see it at the moment because everything is still being updated, correct? Is there an estimated time for updates on the tour page and emails being sent out?

Thanks for your help.

Finally!!! I too was able to get 2 GA for Chicago at about 11:30 am central time.

Huge thank you to Big Wave, any other mods, and the other fans who posted in this thread to bring awareness to this issue.

See you and the boys in Chicago!!!

Agree. Was able to pull up 2 GA just now for another city, no problem.

Thank you so much bigwave. You were a big (no pun intended) help for the last tour. Truly appreciate it.

Oops! I apologize for the double post. Didn't think the first one went through.

Same problem as everyone else. Have been trying since 9am and nothing available for GA. What is going on with the Chicago show?

Same problem here. I have been trying since 9am and no love. What's going on?

The man in black is back!

 

That was a really good version. Liked the added Rolling Stones snippet.

Me too...it really fit well.

Loved it!

be informed...

 

 

 

This is the longest show of tour. All previous shows 23-24 songs long. #U2ieTour #U2

Was already looking forward to the Chicago shows! Now even more so!

Thanks for the live thread mods, goodnight!

thats why i don't bet

Same here. Oh well, we can hope it happens at some point this tour.

Apparently queue coordinators (or whatever they're called) will take the name and queue place number of people with spare tix and when people roll up looking for tix they will pair you up

Good to know.

Congratulations Mich!

I'll gladly jump on this bandwagon and add my thanks and appreciation to our Zoo mods as well! Cheers to you all!

Got right in for msg 1 section 118 for 118 each.... Only to have been shot down in the end saying they could not process request. Got in again for section 213 row 2 for 315 each got another message saying could not process request. ...... Was charged and received tick insurance on both sets of tickets and have pending transactions on credit card..... Think I will getcthm???

Yes, I think you will. The same thing happened to me during the pre-sales. I had to contact Ticketmaster to cancel one of the transactions so they wouldn't think I was trying to cheat.

Since these are general on-sale tickets, you should be able to keep both sets of tickets if you like or cancel the ones you don't want. I had to get a Ticketmaster rep on the phone to do the cancellation for me since only one order appeared on my Ticketmaster account, but two sets of charges appeared on my credit card (I also purchased the insurance.) Just make sure they cancel the right one if you decide you only want one pair of tickets.

Also, they told me it would take 7 to 10 business days for the cancellation of the charges to appear on my credit card. Hope this helps. 

 

 

Is it just me, or would it have made more sense to have these presale start times spread out through the day?  Like a different pre-sale starting up every 1.5 or 2 hours just to spread out the numbers of people trying to use the system?

 

This is a great idea. It begs the question why the ticketing experts didn't think of this themselves!

 

 

Because the people who tend to think of these amazing things are usually marketing people, not tech people... The tech people usually go "....."

 

Exactly!
