very, very unlikely (almost to the point of "no")....

I know, I know, I know.  Perhaps there is a kind soul out there somewhere.  One can always hope!!!

Oh wow - what a night! I never thought I would see this show again after Berlin 2017 - but due to my current stay in China I made it happen.... My daughter loved it as well, she came out with me.

They always play at moment of transcendence in my life - moving back to Europe next week, but here are still some early shots..... Will be posting more when I am done moving and editing.

@Max Tsukino do you know whether there is any way I can still get one of the event t-shirts? I am an XXL European, and they were aaaaaalllll gone after the concert (I thought it was a wise idea not to take them into GA, but missed out.  If anyone here wants to work this out and has a spare one, I would appreciate it very, very much!!!!! xx 

hi @Max Tsukino - I have a page like that - I sort of expected another number to input, but I have been able to navigate to the page again, so it seems to be tied into the yes24 registration part.  So all good, I guess.  Its a very thorough process and you guys are super helpful!!!!! Thanks!

Hi mods @Max Tsukino I have successfully inputted my presale code, the site wished me good luck.  But now I can't see a code anywhere?  Can you help? It says it should be under the reservation page, but there is nothing...... What am I doing wrong?

It seems that this will be how it will work... we are waiting for an update which hopefully makes the information about the procedure more clear. Please keep checking the site and the FAQ section...

Thanks @Max Tsukino! Fingers crossed the pre registration site is open for a couple of days. - and not just for two hours before it shuts down.  Although normally based in China, I am doing this from Germany.... so some sleep would be great 😉

Thanks @Max Tsukino Always helpful.  I am a paid subscriber, so the sequence will be

1. Register on the yes24 site for the Presale with the code

2. try and buy tickets..... 

In other words, there should hopefully be a microsite where we register with our U2 code first, and then when the time comes, we will have our go.... 

Hi all - @Max Tsukino you have been an awesome fountain of knowledge here.  

I'm not quite clear on the procedure for Korea.  U2.com says:

"When the presale for your chosen show opens, you will need to visit the presale ticketing page to purchase your tickets. For South Korea show, you must verify by clicking the “REGISTRATION” button and inputting the passcode by 9:59AM KST, Tuesday 10-June on the presale ticketing page at YES24. The links to the presale ticketing page will be provided to you via the registered Email address at U2.com."

So we all got the presale codes today (I would think so!), but for Korea we need to go through some sort of pre-registration process through a link.  Do we know when that pre-registration will be open? Thanks for clarifying! 

ok, I had carefully scheduled my travel this summer to go to Berlin 1 with my son, and Berlin 2 with my daughter.  I live in China.....

GA for both.  for the second night I managed to be for the first time ever in front of Adam (I play bass) - sooo excited to not seeing China right in front of me, but Adam Clayton.  See picture.  

My schedule is crazily busy and due to the distance, I can only do two shows this tour (actually and the last one, as I lived under a desert sky before.   But then the date was announced in the one and only week where I was toying with the idea of seeing the lights of home in Berlin before Xmas. It must be fate!! A sort of homecoming, indeed.  

Now I have booked the flight from Shanghai to Berlin. You can call it madness, love or dedication or all the above. My wife thinks it’s the first.

Let's hope I can get to that spot again.  Still processing images, but you can find some from night one here https://flic.kr/s/aHsmrdZpvf  and night 2 here https://flic.kr/s/aHskHgNcLh .  Happy to share more.

We can't wait now for the November.  

Hi BigWave and Jahorro- great work here by the way and good to see you all in action again.

One thing worth clarifying is the camera policy.  It says on Joe's Guide that SLRs with less than a 2'' lens will be allowed, and then no SLRs with detachable lenses.  Still got some time to go until Cologne, which will be this years only shows, but typically, I have been planning to take my slr (as before) with a small prime lense (pancake) which is below 2''.  I am sure other are in the same boat.  With mobile phones everywhere (and some have higher pixel counts than my 7d!) I think it would be good to have this clarified.  Its pretty clear we won't bring the 70-200 (although this would be fun).  Obviously its all about the music, but I personally love to take some decent images, so would love to have the 2'' policy around this amazing tour.

Thanks!

hannele - it was all done in one transaction.

Yes, I used eventim, which is used for the German concerts. You put one ticket in the Basket, and continue shopping - that was the second one.  It was really straightforward.  I hope Ticketmaster works for you guys too!

Just hope they send the Mobile ticket to my far flung base!

Cologne worked nicely - split between two shows.  Just waiting for the delivery on my mobile.  Kudos to the U2 team on making this hassle free.
