Am curious if this means you check in once between Thursday (!) and Saturday and then show up at 4:30 pm the day of the show (Saturday).

I received an email earlier today with information on the presales but interestingly it included an old code for the Joshua Tree tour (U2JT...) and said it had been used already (which makes sense because I used it for the JT30 tour). If memory serves the code used for the E&I U2.com presales for North America via Verified Fan used a code sent by text message not the U2EI version tied to me now. It is a bit confusing as to why my account should have a code but not say your code has been used if I already purchased tickets.

Each type of sale in this cycle needed a separate verification? Experience/Innocence groups, Citi Presale, and general? Once I was verified for the Experience and Citi presales I thought that meant I was verified for the general on sale as well. I'm curious to know whether I missed a step or simply wasn't chosen for the general on sale.

Your IP address (the one for your internet connection not the one for your computer) may be flagged by Ticketmaster. I get a similar error where I work (403 instead of 401) and we can't access Ticketmaster at all, no matter the device.

U2 most likely will announce more dates in some of the cities already on the tour itinerary if past tours are any indicator. New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles especially should have more shows added. It is much harder to say that additional cities will be added (again, if past tours are an indicator) and I think the odds are not in our favor for that happening.

Same here - everything went quite smoothly. Purchased 2 GA's for Nashville using on the "Best Available" option. Only wrinkle, if you want to call it that, is that even though I was purchasing on my phone, the link on U2.com sent me to the desktop version of the Ticketmaster site instead of the mobile one. That said, it is pretty crazy that some long time subscribers did not get a code this time out. Makes no sense.

I purchased GA for Nashville and was given the option of electronic or paper (for an extra fee).

@britbandfan1964 From the look of the map it looks like 113 may be OK re: obstructions, especially if you are seated towards the right side of the section. @mchoosier A friend of mine has seats in that section too so thanks for the heads up about the Chicago situation.

Good move, LeslieC, switching over to your phone. Buying via mobile phone worked way better for the JT30 tour earlier this year. I tried on my PC at first but it was a mess. I did get the tickets I wanted when all was said and done but lesson learned.

Seconded!

The bag needs to be clear and there are restrictions as far as size go. http://hardrockstadium.com/stadium-policies/

I had a friend in college who was able to get me a copy of that Syracuse show along with the "Rock N Roll Stops the Traffic" show from San Francisco that was featured in Rattle and Hum. I remember that both videos were very well shot and I really enjoyed experiencing those shows that I did not get to attend in person. I was very sad when I loaned the videotape to a friend and never got it back. Will have to look them up on the YouTube! Staying on topic, I saw U2 during the original Joshua Tree Tour at the Orange Bowl in Miami, FL on December 3rd, 1987.
