You probably have a better chance of getting run over by the postie delivering them. Worry not.

Can you still buy the tickets+membership through ticketmaster all at once?

At least that way you don't purchase another membership with the risk of not getting the tickets you wanted... ?

ryancoke71 · 11-14-2009, 03:17 PM

I did that for Toronto.....It cost me $60 extra but I could see that there were GA's available so I got the membership. However, you do not get any extra presale codes with that membership.
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I know of at least two instances where people showed up with Stubhub tickets that were not real tickets...one in Vegas and one in NC. If the show is sold out, they can not get you in. They refund your money. That being said, I know many others that have used Stubhub with no problems. I prefer ticketmaster, if you can get the tickets that way.

Hey all, sorry if this is the wrong place but I'm a first time ticket buyer and have a couple questions I'm having trouble finding answers to!

First of all - I am planning to purchase through Ticketmaster with a Visa card, but the card is through my local bank. I looked to see if I could verify and register my card on Visa's website, but my bank was not listed. Will I have to go through the Verified by Visa thing?

Secondly, will my presale access code still be active, if I've had mine since they first started sending them out and have not used it? I really don't want it to get deactivated! Thanks!

If you are waiting for the presales for East Lansing, Montreal or Moscow (or for any future shows), yes, you can still use your code. All the other shows presales are over with and the only way to get tickets now is through the public sale. Check the Tours page on U2.com for more info.

As far as your Visa card goes, the card I used is through a local bank also and I had to do the Verified by Visa thing. If you've never had to do it before, you will probably have to do it during the sale. It requires you to set up a password and verify your card with info only you would know (SSN, etc.). I had to do it during the Seattle presale but all I had to do was put in the password because I had already done it before.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! I know others have had issues with their presale codes, but for the most part the issue seems to be resolved.

Wow this leg is the first time ever I've not sold a GA ticket at face value in less than a day....

Kara1979 · 12-01-2009, 10:57 AM

I got tickets in the red zone

and I'd like your suggestions on how early I should get there. I know I don't have to be at the venue at 8 am either, but the earlier I get there, the better my spot would be in the red zone, right?

**Sicy** · 12-01-2009, 11:25 AM

There's a lot of discussion about the red zone here

I went and saw Metallica last night and they have a REAL 360° stage. And it's a rectangle!

The stage took up most of the floor of the arena, and there were eight microphones, one in each corner, and two on each side long ways. They all moved around the whole stage, and James (lead singer) sang from every mic. Most of the time moving during each song, so no one had a bad view for even a song. No video screens either.

I'm not a big Metallica fan, but I thought it was a great show, and showed how a 360° show could really work.

Damn, I missed it.

I remember seeing discussion of this show when the U2 360 stage was first revealed.

Thoughts about the new stage design? + Rolling Stone re: T H E C L A W

boorock74 · 12-16-2009, 06:25 PM

Speaking of stage design, does anyone know if there is some index of the 360 Tour venue schematics prior to the DC show at Fedex?

Earl-Of-IMDb · 01-26-2010, 09:13 PM

Question for anyone, Is there gonna be a tour for the release of Songs Of Ascent? And another tour?
