Are you talking about the presale for Tuesday? It's fan club members only sale. Each member has a unique code. That's how they can restrict ticket purchases to 2 per member. No one can give you their password because then they wouldn't be able to purchase tickets.

Just the reason many of us have chosen to follow younger, fast evolving, cheaper, better, and less popular music. $40 just to get the chance to get tickets should be a major alarm going off. I'm looking forward to Arcade Fire this weekend. They may not be around in 25 years and sell tickets for 160 a piece, but who's making the better music now? I've seen u2 a few times, so I'm far from intrigued. You've got to really prioritize U2 to see them anymore… and most of people on this board have a hard time doing that… I believe.

I've seen them 4 times now, and unless they DO play Coachella. i dont think I'll be seeing them this time around. it is just a little pricey….

I've never seen them, so I think this will be the time. I've heard from many people that they put on a great show.

There is no DC date listed? Are they going to announce more dates later?

When is it? I see some North American dates on the pre sale page, but no DC date.

i saw some unofficial announcement that said that they would be coming back to the states next fall after they tour europe this summer

is there anyone on here who is a member of the U2.com fanclub? did you do well in the presale?

just wondering. i'm hoping i get at least one semi decent ticket when the tix go on sale to the rest of us.

I'm a fan club member, although tickets for my show aren't on sale yet. I'll let you know in a couple hours.

In the past, as a Propaganda Member (the original fan club) I was offered floor seats for one show for every tour. I basically stood in the GA for every tour since the Joshua Tree for $25-40. They offered us a discount for the new fan club ($20), so it was well worth it for me.

And the GA seats in the center or ring (the heart for the Elevation Tour) are $40 and they were guaranteed. Complain all you want about U2 making money off their fans with the $40 fan club, but we are practically guaranteed floor seats at $40 (break that down, it's only $50 a ticket for me) for a band that is one of the most popular on the planet - that sure beats a pre-sale password that's about as secure as this message board.

No hassles, no worries - well worth the money.

$40 is pretty cheap how much was Peter Gabriel trying for?

I saw U2 at the Tower Theatre in Philly in '84 and I also saw Bono fall on his ass and break his collarbone at RFK in '87.
I'm cooler than all of you.

Some of my Irish ancestors were named Hewson. Or whatever the hell his name is.

I would like to see them…

but only if could get a signed legal document that they wouldn't play anything post achtung for the first hour of their show.

So the best seats in the house will be the General Admission ones??

well

according to the news on a U2 list i read, the presale was pretty much a bust..and only 1 person got GA seats

teh rest of the seats were in the back of the arena for $165

glad i saved my bucks

As is becoming more and more customary, you're dealing with idiots on message boards.

The $160 seats are the seats on the floor.

The $40 GA seats are for standing on the floor in the circle.

The prices for seats around the arena (not on the floor) vary, but they do peak at $160.

so the whole floor isn't GA like the elevation tour? and about how many of the $40 dollar tickets are they selling. sounds to me like the whole best seats are only $40 bucks is a bit of uberhype to me. seeing as those will be selling on ebay for five times that….

I don't think so, but I'm not sure yet (ask me in 10 minutes). As I understood it, they were going back to the JT and Zoo TV Indoor model, front section no seats, back section seats. But of course, I could be wrong.
