I"m going to hope and pray and fast that somehow they will add another Utah date while I'm adding more. They usually do this during the first day of public sale?

They really should take one away from NY and give some other areas a chance. :cry:

This is pissing me off too. Oh well, what can ya do?

I hate you ticketmaster.
That totally happened to me when I was getting our Maroon 5 tickets. I wanted to kill someone.

Yeah, I got the last 2 floors for the 16th.
What does your order say?

My presale tickets say FLOOR2 on them

and the third one I got for the 14th say FLOOR3

I can only assume they're dividing the floor into sections, or letting people on the floor in a specific order.

Also Cass, if they add another date, it will be within the first 30 mins of the ticketmaster sale for the first night.

Sometimes it's later, but usually it's not.

congrats Lando,

I saw they added two more Toronto dates..I now have about 30 East Coast shows to try for in the Fall...( I am not going to all 30, but I better get for a few of them)

That happened to my friend when they went online for the public sasle. It timed her out ... It is probalby casue so many people are buying the floors then turning around and seeling them for lots of moola. I foudn places for 3-4 hundred for floors.

the last 2 NYC shows go on sale Monday.. I don;t have money righ tnow, Besides wouldn;t get thopruhg on the phone anwya. I work and can't get on line.

Like my friend said they are doing 10 shows in the NYC area(7 in the fall, 3 in May).. we will get into one or two> I actually have tickets for 2, but want to get for more..

hopefully the luck from the last tour will stay withus. We got into the shows, so hopefully that will happen again.. it is a big pain in the ass though.. I blame the elevatioon tour for the hell of tickets now> You use to be able to get tickets released. Now if they release they hold the tickets till an hour or two before show.. :evil: :evil:
ask any old time U2 fan and they will tell you. It was hard to get tickets, but not like iti si now...

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

Thanks!

Ok, another question. When they do announce another show right away, do you get to buy tickets right then for the show? Or do they have another sale date? If so, then how come it's so much easier to get tickets? No presale?

So does anyone got extra tickets for the Montreal show? I was in-line to buy tickets but I left because they said it was sold out (in 29 minutes). When I got back home, the news said that there was a second show! That sucks, because I'm sure that I would have had tickets for the 2nd show. Arrggg. Now the scalpers are selling 50$ floor tickets at 300$. Anyways, if anyone has some extra tickets for the MOntreal show, please let me know. Hi Cass!!!

Utah sold out in an hour. Completely. No other show either, surprise surprise.

I bought some lower bowls behind the stage and my dad bought some lower bowls behind the GA. I'm going to sell mine though and buy some GA with them. That was the only strategy I could think of for getting the tickets I want.

so I have been reading about the tour. here are some things from first night

they are now using a random system for floor. They will scan your ticket and if chosen you and campanion will be allowed to be in the eclipse( like the heart on last tour) if not chosen you go on back floor so everyoe has a chance to be in eclipse. Sucks if youaren;t chosen and you want to be inside.

they also pulled out some older songs form Boy/October...

here is a few photos I found from opening night. enjoy..
