  1. Ohh how I hate ticketmaster's mandatory captchas I wasn't a machine 3 minutes ago and I AM STILL NOT a machine. Stupid.
  2. Yeah these captcha's are horrible. I always have to do 3 tries.
  3. But yeah reading Mojo's Facebook message there will probably be more (smaller) ticket drops.
  4. Can somebody possibly point me to that Mojo's fb site? thx
  5. Thanks!
    Just confirmed Dutch is a totally incomprehensible language for foreigners. Great prospect for this weekend's trip Hopefully the supposed % of English speakers is real - unlike it is in Spain!

    It's impossible to understand in speech... sounds really weird. I find it okay in writing though.

    I'd be lying if I said I didn't just go to ticketmaster.nl to see if there were any nice tickets left. I guess I was a bit late.

    Awesome such a ticket drop a day before the show. Especially if you see how many people bought GA's on second-hand site marktplaats voor way over 250 euros per ticket.
    Wouldn't call i awesome.....
  8. Why not? I think this is good, also to battle against scalpers. This is the way to do it, unfortunately. If all tickets would be sold at once and a drop would never happen, that means you need to pay the big prize. Now, you can wait for a drop. (you have to be lucky though..)

    Because I'm one of those marktplaats guys (Who bought a ticket there, not someone who sold one there)

    Aren't these tickets drops just because they didn't sold enough tickets? Mainly the expensive once? I thought that was the main reason, but I don't know a lot about what a ticket drops even means so thats just a guess.

    Yeah I know the feeling Same for me last tour, paid crazy money to get to Barcelona.

    According to Mojo, and this is their official reason, both latest drops occurred because the band decided not to use many of the tickets that were reserved for family & friends. So usually U2 always sets tickets asides for friends & family (or BN-ers in our case, friends they know in Holland), and then last-moment they release them to the general public.
  11. It's usually because until the stage is mapped out in the arena it can be difficult to know what space is available (specifically on the floor) but also behind the stage or restricted view seats. We will never know exactly but as stated in Mojo there may be other reserved sections for venue sponsors etc that may not be used so can then be sold.
