    I just signed up for the membership again so I can jump on the presale. Been a member off and on for years. I meant to sign up a couple of weeks ago since talk of a tour.

    Does my presale code give the same access as a a long time paying member?

    You get in on the second round.
    Thought so - that is what happen to me on their last two tours. You would think I'd learn...

    Starting the tour in Vancouver again. I'm a bit surprised because they started their last tour here too. Anyway, if at first I don't succeed... Maybe this time TM won't fuck me if I manage to get tickets in my shopping cart. I wish I had a paid membership so I could get the presale dammit, but another $50.... no (seems like they let you pay for the membership after the tour announcement and be included in the presale though, which is surprising. Is that true? Or is their wording just poor on that?). Anyway, fingers crossed, because I STILL haven't managed to see U2 in my life! It's getting ridiculous.

    The fact you get tickets... coupled with a decent gift item with your membership makes it worthwhile, Soul.

    You should just bite the bullet and be glad you did!
    No, I'm not even tempted TBH, despite the fact that having a presale would be nice. I like U2, and really REALLY love their earlier albums (I own everything from Unforgettable Fire through Atchung Baby and spin them semi-regularly), but I'm not a big enough fan for a paid membership. I mean, I want to see them, but I'm far from the level of fandom where I'd be "heartbroken" if I missed their show again. If I can't get tix I'll be disappointed, but not overly so. I don't know what these membership items that they send are, but I can't imagine I'd want it, whatever it is. I have zero interest in U2 merch. I don't even buy their new albums.
    One of the items is a double lp.

  • I knew to look here for answers! My wife is a huge U2 fan, but not the type of person who would join a fan club. (That's my job!) She loves Joshua Tree and we'll be catching this for sure. Would getting in the second round of presale be worth the $50 and avoiding the public onsale?

    I know I'm not the first to request, but if anyone has a code they'd part with we'd be forever grateful!

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I say 'yes'.

    I renewed for some strange reason (basically... 'Aw wtf?') last year and wouldn't you know it... they're doing this little thing. I got lucky.

    Typically, I'd just pay for the membership and get in on round two of the pre sale. I've done this two times. It amounts to an additional 25 per ticket or so, however you beat the rush and you get a decent gift as well. It's a no brainer now that I think about it.

    The date of the second pre sale... I think you can purchase a membership and tickets in one transaction. I did this for the last tour.

    Edit: I was speaking to the U2 component of the equation.

    I'm not sure as I've been a member for awhile. I just logged into my account and just said I can buy presale tix on Friday. I'm buying tickets for Foxboro for anyone wondering if I'm using my presale code. On a side note, my kids loved the Xmas gift as it was a music box that played a Lumineers song.

    Yeah, not interested. I have all the U2 albums I want already. No desire for their new stuff or live albums (at least, not for $$. If it were free I'd take it, lol!). I'll listen to their newer music now and again, but digital format will do for that. :)

    Just trying to give you a nudge is all. I'm confident you'll do what's best for you!

    It won't be impossible to get tickets to a BC Place show. You might be miles away, but you'll be int he building!

    Yeah, you're probably right. With the floor filled that's probably 65,000+ tickets or something like that.

  • for the smaller arena shows last tour fan club GA floors were credit card only entry and you basically had to get in on that presale or your chances were slim at best for GA for the public on sale. my brother bought a fan club and a pair of tickets at the same time(same tour) but he didn't get GA

    soooooo pumped for these as joshua tree is up there with "ten" as one of my favorite albums of all time. I'm really glad they aren't playing the album in order.
    see you guys in jersey.

    Would LOVE to see this, but the LINC(Philly) is a BAD place for a concert. Saw Springsteen ther and the sound was HORRIBLE. But, i love Joshua Tree, so i might tempted to buy.

    Yes. Brilliant album for sure. Really looking forward to this as well.

    Got GnR. Peppers. And now U2 to look forward to. Life is good.

    In Europe RED zone is €300 or so, but in the Ticketmaster seat maps it looks like a big portion of the rail so it's quite tempting...

  • I decided against the last U2 tour because ticket prices were astronomical. I think 2-300 for nosebleeds. If its more of the same for this then I'll sit this one out too.

    To add I think it's cool that PJ does surprise shows with albums where as other bands promote a tour of it. I'm hoping that PJ never goes down the latter.

    They've just said "live in full for the very first time - every song every night". I'm pretty sure that they're not playing it in order, especially in Europe where the sunset time is very late. I thin they won't open playing Streets with no dark in the stadium.

    From the Rolling stone interview with The Edge:

    Are you going to play the album in sequence at the shows?
    "I believe we will, and I say "believe we will" because that is certainly the working assumption right now. The show might not necessarily start with Track One, Side One, "Where the Streets Have No Name," because we feel like maybe we need to build up to that moment, so we're still in the middle of figuring out exactly how the running order will go, so yes. We will be playing the album in sequence."

    Definitely trying for Philly!
    Thinking that they'll add more dates to some cities, as well...

    Also, looking at the dates on their site, looks like Mumford & Sons is only supporting Vancouver, Seattle, and San Fran. The Lumineers are set for all other NA cities except the FL dates, which have OneRepublic listed.

    Ugh, I can't stand Mumford & Sons. I wish the Lumineers were playing the west coast too. But hey, if I get a seat and not GA, I will be able to take my sweet time in getting to the venue since I will want to skip the opener. :tongue:

    Just curious if you've given the newest Mumford record a chance? I was like you, really not into Mumford after two albums. Their last album has much more guitars and no banjo. I love it and saw them in Squamish. It was an awesome show.

    Just throwing it out there to give that album a chance, it may change your mind.

    Will be on all devices trying to get tickets for the DC show. Aiming for floor but I'll settle for the closest available. If you're a fan this is a show you can't miss in my opinion
