    This is all a bit ridiculous...high time for the band, management and Ticketmaster to acknowledge they messed this up and move on. U2 just sold roughly 300K tickets for their Vegas residency (at a brand new venue no less) with nary an issue. U2 have a massive fan club with presale obligations to manage...yet they did so deftly and with clarity.
    Respectfully, there were lots of issues with the U2 residency.

    For a frame of reference Aerosmith pricing plus fees for farewell tour in Louisville.
     
    Also dynamic pricing and price bump for aisle seats
    Why am I always discriminated against?

    That's what the asking prices will be at first, and some poor saps will actually pay that. But once they realize they aren't going to sell out at those prices, they'll drop the prices. Look at the Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks stadium tour. For some of those dates, they're completely sold out of 200 and 300 level upper deck seats, because those were cheaper. Meanwhile, they've sold almost none of the lower level and field seats because they're way overpriced...even after 3 price drops already.

    That's the beauty of "dynamic pricing." They can charge whatever the hell they want at any time. There's been times when I've bought tickets at $139 the day they went on sale, only to have seats in the same section and row drop down to as low as $29 the week of the show.
    The ugliness of "dynamic pricing" is when you click on a ticket for one price and then when it gets in your cart it's like $50 more. That happened over and over when I got tickets to Muse.
    It's jacked up...and just shows the total control TM has over an already monopolized system.

    I remember multiple times trying to buy tickets and getting the "someone else beat you to it" message. Then you come across three tickets in a row and it won't let you buy two of them so it doesn't leave a seat "stranded." Even though the people that were buying singles or odd numbers of seats fucked you over by leaving that third seat.
    I had to deal with this "stranded seat" bullshit buying tickets to a minor league baseball game! Wasn't even Ticketmaster. Enraging.

    Um, actually, ticketing for the U2 shows were a massive disaster on a scale much, much worse than what happened in PJ-Land.

    I’ve had this situation a few times with Ticketmaster. As long as they’re not resale tix, I usually put one ticket in the cart on a different account. And then I am able to purchase the other 2.

    At this point, there's only 1 way to do this fairly: Let all the reserved seating folks in at once, and let everyone just fight for your seats. It would be tremendous theater because merch stands would also be open at same time, meaning folks would need to choose what to do first. 


    I’d find the smallest chode and clean his clock right off the bat.  Drop him so he slides down the stairs I’m front of everyone.   Like prison.  Set the tone so people know what’s coming if they F with me
    This needs some clarification.  Are you talking about front of GA or event  t-shirt and poster?
    Things were different then

    I heard that Ticketmaster screwed up the U2 fan club presale for The Sphere shows as well. Larry supposedly made a statement apologizing for the situation and promised to make it up to the members when U2 tours the states next year.
    I participated in the US presale and am not aware of any issues...surprised that Larry would be making any statements given the fact that he is not scheduled to play the residency.
    Deftly and with clarity that's funny.
    No issues with that presale lol!

    Up until a few tours ago we literally didn’t know our seats until we got to the venue. Everyone upset about needing to wait a few weeks and then still having their assignments months in advance need to relax.

    I would take those seat over when they played Lollapalooza last.  You know your spot for watching a concert is bad when the curvature of the earth prevents you from seeing the stage.
