I received the same. They should avoid the words <ERROR> or deeply sorry, in their communication emails, especially when you ordered tickets from overseas. It had the same effect on me than the 'bomb' word in a plane. Pretty scary !

Sorry. I was thinking about regular tickets. My mistake. Apologies.

Please wait until further instructions about Saitama (RED) Zone.

They updated the delivery notification :

lol...

Japanese 7/11 usually are very different than the US or any occidental 7/11 (it's even a different corporation)... they manage this kind of delivery... it's very normal.

But please keep checking the site as well as your email for any possible update. There's no reason to be concerned but it's better to be informed...

I was also quite surprised to have only this pick-up delivery option. Anyway, it's still safer than to be scared of a postal delivery loss

Got tickets for 12/4 and 12/5 !!! HELLO TOKYO :)

Can anybody answer this question. If 2 people in same Household both have a presale code. Can they then buy 4 tickets each or 4 in total as there is some mentioning of checking nr of tickets at same address/ Household. Would be 2 different creditcards. 

Thanks!

Edith 

From what I know with the experience of past presales : 4 tickets each, so 8 tickets in total.  Nevermind the credit card number, you can use the same or different ones, as you want.

For the Japanese presale, there will be a link in English. Wait until the buttons go live on the TOURS page, please...

Super news !

Thanks Max !

Good luck !

 

Thanks Pat,

I hope the presale link will send europeans fans to livenation or an english language website... and not to pia, as pia has no english version.

Right now it's unknown if the presale site will be translated - some Japanese sites have a section in English, but it's not the norm. It would be expected to be translated (at least to english) but perhaps it's better to be prepared for if it is isn't...

No other option but to wait until the presale is closer - in the meantime and as a precaution, consider a translation site tab opened (like google translate or similar) for if it's needed...

Thanks Max. I'm crossing the fingers ! 

Lost in translation

Hello, 

So excited to have a new tour coming !

I visited pia website for Japan ticket, there seems to be no english version... And I don't speak japanese. So I'm a little bit concerned to not be able to order tickets, even with my RedHill presale code. Any suggestion to make booking tickets easy for European fans who will travel to Japan for the Tokyo concerts ?

Landlady to come.

Do you know where do we have to go after the show to get numbers for tomorrow GA line ?

anyone planning to be in Berlin on the Monday (12th) before the re-arranged U2 show on the Tuesday (13th)?

 

I'll be there on Tuesday. Why this question ?

Hey folks. I've been lurking but I just wanted to mention that the Beethoven music is 'Ode To Joy', adopted as the Anthem for the European Union. I'm sure you all know that but thought I'd mention it.

I don't know.  It's weird.

Well, I admit it's a little bit scary. Reminds me the music during the opening of "The Shining'.

Just now, dmway said:

I think the final show in Berlin may celebrate it even more (IMHO, of course)...

 

Hope so !!

broascasting is not an easy thing… not only it costs (if it's with your mobile data) but also having the phone pointing to the stage is, in the end, very tiresome...

we get what we get… and for that, we should be thankful..
