    Yep, new rules. I have the same:

    Who qualifies to get a presale code?
    Subscribers who did not purchase 2 tickets for the North America #U2eiTour dates, and Subscribers who renewed their subscription after using a code to purchase tickets to the #U2eiTour North America last year. (Note – subscribers can only renew within 30 days of your expiration date.) Updated Jan. 17.

  10. Not at all. Italy was horrible to get through.
  11. Would I be right in saying the London presale starts an hour later than the Amsterdam presale on Wednesday (10am uk time London, 9am uk time for Amsterdam)? For both Innocence and retail presales that is. I’ve got the task of getting my own tickets and my dads so I’m hoping the 10am is all local again and I don’t have to do both at the same time .
  12. I have been buying tickets online since I was 15 years old (2005), including very very high demand shows like Muse 2015, U2 Dublin 2015 and U2 Dublin 2017. Not bragging, but I consider myself to be pretty skilled when it comes to buying tickets. I have my tricks, some of them widely known and some a bit more obscure. I always get the tickets I'm looking for, with no exceptions. Sometimes it's rather easy, and sometimes it requires a bit more efforts like trying with several devices, a web script, etc.

    And in 13 years buying tix online I hadn't seen such a rigged, impossible-to-get-through sale as I saw yesterday. Shows being declared sold out while most of the fans were still in the virtual queues? Thousands of clearly overpriced 218€ seats being sold in 2 minutes in markets where 218€ mean more than a 25% of a monthly wage? Dozens of fans from at least 12 countries all trying and all of them getting NOTHING AT ALL? I get that GAs fly away rather quickly and if you don't get through the virtual queue in the first seconds of the sale, then you're pretty much not being able to get them. Also, presales take up an ever-increasing percentage of the tickets, and the quota available for general sale is smaller and smaller each tour. But what I saw yesterday exceeds all logic.

    All this ticket business is rigged and cooked from the ground to the top, and I'm not surprised that a good few of experienced, long-term fans (some of them attending shows from 1992 and 1987) have told me they're stepping out of the train and are not keen on being trampled and fooled anymore, and are determined to stop seeing U2 live. It's really sad. I wish I had the strength to follow their steps and give a big middle finger to Livenation, Ticketmaster and the U2 Corporation. I wish.
