    Motherfucker! I had 2 GA tix and I was right there at the end paying and something went wrong. Lost them. Now I have nothing. :( Oh well. Maybe something will pop up between now and May. :-<

    How does their fan club sale work? Is it a coded sale through TM? Is it hard to score tickets in the fanclub pre-sale?

    Fan Club subscribers get a unique code, yes, which they can use for the presales. For this tour, the code is only valid for 2 tickets though (due to the lower capacity in arenas, compared to the stadium tour last time). During the presales you had to fill in the code at the ticket vendor website (mostly TM, but there were a few other ticket vendors).
    Presales were staggered, with the first tier being those who had been a fan club member for a longer time and the second tier all those who became a member after Songs Of Innocence dropped early September. For the first tier it was mostly OK to score (good) tickets in the fanclub pre-sale (apart from the fact that in the US those presales were at the same time as some Foo Fighters ticket sales, so TM's website was still overloaded). For the second tier it was more hit and miss, with some popular locations running out of good tickets (GA) quickly.

    Thanks for the info!

    Staggered sales based on seniority? What a novel concept!

    I wouldn't join a paid fan club that did that.

    On the flip side though you would certainly stay in one.

    I wish Pearl Jam would do a Ticketmaster style fan club sale versus the lottery. No games and rankings.

    Tried to get tix for Montreal but could not justify shelling out $300 for U2...

    I dont even understand where "behind the stage" is going to be. Fortunately I scored 2 single GAs for Chicago I about 4.5 hours after it went on sale. No chance I was going to pay for any of the $300 tickets.

    pulled section 213 at MSG after fees total $ 624 for two tickets no way im not doing it no wonder i stopped trying to get tickets for this band way back , if any body has a spare pm me thanks ...

    knowing the price of tickets and knowing what u were willing to spend why did you even ask for those tickets? surely u didn't put in "find me best available"
    i scored extra pairs for both shows i want to see. all upper level and never paid more than $225/pair fees included
    i don't need to be up close for this tour...that was determined as soon as i saw the ticket prices!

    yeah i'm not understanding the stage set up at all. i got 218 for msg and it says behind the stage. looks like sweet seats to me. i don't understand how the red zone is so far away from the stage.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    The stage clearly runs across the whole floor, but there's no indication of where the band (mainly Larry) will be. Everyone else will move around I'm sure, but it would help if they indicated where the drumkit will be setup.

    Maybe everything will be on an elaborate conveyor belt that moves around during the show?
