Ticketmaster are laughing at me

Zooropa, 30 July, 2009 at 09:02 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 13

I've had an email from Ticketmaster this morning reminding me to go and see U2 in a couple of weeks. Which would be great if they had sent out my tickets yet. I don't know why event organisers use them - they really are a bunch of useless twunts.

    Don't they keep hold of them for as long as possible to cut out the risk of people selling them on for silly prices?

    and to avoid forgery, but other agencies selling U2 tickets dispatched them straight after purchase, and even on TM you could print off tickets for some venues (I believe NickJ was able to print his as soon as he bought them), so it has no consistency.

    Also, its not helpful for people who have swapped (at face value) or buying spares off others at face value too (like I am doing off Zooropa!). If tickets arent posted until a few days before, it makes getting those tickets to other people very stressful!

    Our Cardiff tickets arrived this morning! My first U2 concert, any tips?

    We've just discovered that we can't get a return train home on 22nd, last train is 21.49pm. How daft is that on a saturday night?

    We are GA . How about you? According to U2.com seated tickets are sent out a bit later than GA.

    Thanks for the tips. ?

    For Cardiff I have seats as we're going with a friend who can't stand for long periods of time. For Wembley im going to GA (buying Zooropa's spares!).

    you will love it, although this show looks bigger and better than the others ive been to so it'll probably be a first for both of us in that sense!

    tips:

    I don`t know if its still possible, but when I saw them in Manchester a few years back, loads of people got into the `inner circle` i.e. the bit a the very front where the stage jutted out by queuing for a few hours before the concert. I would have killed to be in that bit.

    Yep thats true - if you want a space at the front, you'll have to queue early in the morning!

    The inner circle was very good on the last tour. For this one I'm still not sure if it's the best place to be becuase of the moving catwalks and the screen position. I think I might aim for the outer edge of the inner circle. Theres a good thread on u2.com about how to handle the ga queue etc - I'll see if I can find it.
