    Final European presales


    U2.com have just posted the times and dates for the final four European concert presales.

    For Berlin, Gelsenkirchen, and Zagreb, the presales follow the usual pattern. They begin on Tuesday, 24 March at 10am for Horizon subscribers, then Breathe gains access at 10am on the 25th followed by Boots at 3pm, and the presale closes for all subscribers at midday on the 26th. The general sale for these shows then starts on the morning of the 27th. Berlin and Gelsenkirchen will be available from Eventim.de and Zagreb will be available from Ticketpro.

    Barcelona is going to be slightly different. It begins on Saturday, 21 March at 10am for Horizon subscribers. Breathe gains access at 10am on the 22nd followed by Boots at 10am on the 23rd. The presale closes for all subscribers at 5pm on the 23rd. U2.com have not yet posted the general sale date, but the timing of this presale indicates it will happen as expected on Wednesday, 25 March. Ticketmaster.es will be handling ticket sales for this show.

    See U2.com's tour page here, and remember, even if you have not been e-mailed your presale code, it is displayed on the tour page once you sign in. There is no word yet on whether any extra European shows will follow the pattern of the second Milan show and also have a presale, or if they will be like Amsterdam and Gothenburg and go on general sale immediately, with no fanclub presale. Furthermore, the first North American ticket sales should begin in the near future.
