Thanks! I had friends last year who did this for JT and ended up with better seats than me. It's so frustrating. 

Just saw a lot of tix for sale on Stubhub. If they are already selling premium seats, how are we supposed to get good seats?

I was in and out in 5 mins for Tampa. Got section 111. My first choice disappeared after trying to actually choose specific seats so this was best available.

For those who are confused about people selling tickets, as a few of the moderators have posted out like Max, those sellers do not have the tickets. What they are doing are a few things, namely using the power of the U2 name to market their own ticket site. It's much easier for them to "appear" to have tickets thinking (or hoping) they would get them when they are released and then say to someone inquiring "Oh we sold out" if they end up not getting them. These reselling sites also hope people come back for other tickets, etc. Remember the old saying if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is and that certainly is the case when it comes to these sites claiming to have tickets before anyone else. Craigslist sites are pretty much flooded with these types of sellers.

And they take people's payments?

Did TM have a "holding room" that you had to stay in to get tix last time (window that pops up that keeps you in line)?  

 

It should not crash, right?  I mean we are all buying at diff times (PST should only have those on sale that are in the right time zone) so max about 100,000 tix?  That SHOULD be ok?!

No, I had to keep going back to get new ones. They had a Captcha thing to prove you weren't a robot that hung up everytime so the timer for your tix would run out and you had to start over. I'm getting cold sweats just thinking about it.

Holy crap. Had nightmares all night that I had my 4 tix in the best seats possible and then TM crashed and I ended up as far away as possible. I won't rest easy until tix are in my account.

Do we use the link on U2.com and click the city we want or do we go to the Ticket Master website separately? 

I am so excited to buy tix tomorrow but I can't help but be afraid of the TM crash last time. I had the best seats picked out at 9:02 and then everything went haywire with TM. By the time I got tix, which weren't great, it was 45 mins later.

My friend got great seats for Tampa...yesterday. This sucks!

A friend of mine said she bought tix already from Ticket Network. How is that possible or even fair?

Thank you!!! Wish me luck!! I met him at someone's house when I lived in Nashville in the early 90's. I'm sure he'll remember me

What is a good time and where to possibly meet them outside arena in Boston?

I had 2 front row selected and secured at 10:00 am and then all the hell started. I got stuck on the captcha screen and had to keep going back and starting over so the front row seats were gone. Then I'd get the "can't process your request". Then after 20 mins and getting seats further away, I clicked buy and nothing happened while the clock ticked down to release tickets...and it did. So after 25 mins and several more screw ups I finally got my tix. Happy about that but really wish I would have gotten the choice seats I selected at the start.

15 mins until sale and no email yet. When did everyone get their email with the code?

Has anyone ever gotten the VIP packages? How much is the cost? Is it worth it? Do we use our presale code to purchase?

Thanks!
