PuppetKing2112 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Portland, eh? I am SO not going to that. I noticed that they're playing the Rose Garden as opposed to the Coliseum like they did on the last tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyre_89 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well, I would love to go to a U2 concert (They are actually tied with Rush for being my favorite band), but they never come anywhere near here. I really wish people knew where Saskatchewan is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefEllwood Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Ottawa and Montreal here I come !! There is a huge gap after the Montreal date, so you can bet your last buck that U2 will add at least one, if not two more dates in Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indica Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 QUOTE (Indica @ Mar 6 2005, 09:59 PM) I wouldn't doubt it, if Madonna sold out 8 straight shows in a row at MSG in a 10 day period last summer, I don't see why U2 couldn't do 4 shows there. I scored 2 floors Saturday for the Chicago show in September. Got a couple sweet singles for MSG and they are selling tickets next Monday for 2 more shows at MSG. It Seems like they know where the moneys at, the good ol Northeast USA. 8 shows in NY and 7 shows in Boston counting the spring dates. Chicago couldn't even sell out 2 shows and that's a pretty huge area. opps double post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call, u2 scheduled 7 shows at Madison Square garden this fall, if Madonna can do it, so can U2. I scored 2 floors Saturday for the Chicago show in September.

It was tough... so stressful buying these tickets! Tell me about it, I have 2 computers side by side trying to score tickets, not to mention a 3rd computer (donna) trying to get them too. Just think, there's people doing this all over the place trying to tap into the system to get tickets at the same time. That's how they sell out in a matter of minutes. Even with 3 computers I get shut out all the time. I know I know, I'm an a******* but if I wasn't doing it then thousands of others would be too so I say screw it. It's just how it goes, until people stop paying 2x-3x more for tickets to a show then my guess is that it will only get worse. I say bring back General admission and it would help a lot. Shows would still sell out fast but at least one ticket wouldn't be worth any more than the next. It worked back in the day before computers and phone orders. I wouldn't complain if it was first come first serve at the ticket office and you can only buy 4 tickets for each person. I know scalpers would pay people to stand in line and get them tickets but if people were smart they would just sell them themselves instead of let a scalper pay them to stand in line. Theres too much money involved for them to do anything about it. Scalpers make as much as the bands do anymore. There has to be something they can do about it, if they wanted to. Real fans should somehow get 1st crack at buying tickets to any show in my opinion. I think the people who are paying $500 for a pair of tickets are as much of the problem than the people who are selling the tickets. I would never pay $500 to see any band, ever. But that's just me.

Which show did you get tickets for? I got 2 general admission floor seats for friday 9/16 and 1 GA floor for sat 9/17 in Toronto. I had two floot seats secured for the first show in Toronto but my dumb ass accidently hit the Canadian shipping method instead of USA and I lost my order. But that's OK because I went for Friday and sat and got floors anyway and the weekend is better. How far is Toronto from Buffalo? Because the Amtrak has a deal from New York to Buffalo for $29, if it's not much farther to Toronto then that would be the way to go!!!!! Gas is too expensive these days, it's cheaper to take a train with hot deals like that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas is too expensive these days, it's cheaper to take a train with hot deals like that!!! How did you score those? The website slowed to a crawl. We got the first show Sept 12. Buffulo is abour 2.5 hours away. I was online the second tickets went on sale, once the other dates went on sale it seemed like not as many people knew about it because they were still searching for tickets on the first date. the 2 shows they added was much easier to get floor seats to. I also clicked the drop down box that said "floor seats" because that's all I was interested in. If you click "best available" then more than likely they will offer you the expensive reserved seats that were $165. I usually only go for the floors myself. If I can't get them then I usually don't buy. They are a lot cheaper and better too In my opinion. But I did have 2 floors for the first date but as I said I messed up and clicked on the canadian method of shipping and somehow they canceled my order because the 3 minutes ran out. I learned from that mistake!!!! But it paid off because Friday and Saturday tickets was better for me. Also, I noticed ticketmaster let me open 2 browsers on each computer, which helps a lot too. Sometimes it wont let me do that. lol ....So thats 2 different computers both with 2 browsers helped my chances a lot. I'm giving away all my secrets ahahahaha, Oh well, you are all my friends and I hope it helps you get better tickets to cool shows in the future. But beware, when I used 2 browsers before it locked me out of the ticket system for a few minutes. It didn't this time though for some reason. Since I have 2 computers side by side I took a chance and tried it again, I think the "Canada ticketmaster" must be different because it never locked me out like it does here in the States,,,,,they caught onto me here ahahahaha.
