I just got off the phone with the U2.com customer service. I can't believe this is actually true but apparently they did in fact use the BS verified fan lottery for presale tickets for fan club members. Those of us who first got the email saying you were getting a presale code and then later got the email saying they made a mistake and you're not getting a code - we are in fact shut out of the presale and will not be getting a code. The verified fan thing means that there's some arbitrary method by which you're picked - or not - to get presale access this time for this tour. So, we're not getting presale access at all. It's over.
Happy for everybody who did get their codes, but it truly hurts to be left out.
Of course, bad lucks happen to everyone, now and then, but it is so painful that it doesn't seem to serve any purpose whatsoever.
I mean, what is the point? What in heaven's name could possibly the objective of leaving long term subscribers out?
And it is just this that hurts the most...
Still, plenty of options to get tickets otherwise - I mean, not all is lost as of now, but...shit...what a bummer
