U2 / MUSE in DC and VA

[chaz]

I'm very dissapointed in U2's choice of corporate sponsorship.  I mean, blackberries are so bland and utilitarian.

hey Blackberry users!!!!! get me a presale password

It's probably sold out by now.

[Borealis]

anyone care to help me and pm me a presale password for U2 in NY ?
i am MUSE fan, please please anyone?

well i had a presale password from IZOD Center for the show - and it doesnt seem to work. What a bummer. I really want to see this show, so I guess Ill just be waiting for regular sale or figure something out.

was your password ACCESS as listed on this page?

Borealis: presale open to members of the U2 fan club only.  blackberry users don't have access to passwords.  want in on the presale?  join the fan club, $50.  members are given a unique password that can only be used once, therefore hunting for one online is pointless - no one is sharing their password.  you'll want to join the fan club today, so you can get in on the last round of the presale tomorrow afternoon (as a new member, that's the only round you qualify for).  only long-time members of the fan club are able to buy their tickets today.  more info: http://www.u2.com/static/index/index/content/tour_faqs

alternately, go complain to muse that they should have a presale for their fan club.

thank you! very positive!!! i am happy for U2 fans


by the way that password ACCESS does work!! only it shows lower levels, not general standing area

So did you get tickets Borealis?  So I'm assuming that the GA field for this tour is 250??

[sweetcell]

i'm not sure that the presale is even needed - the GA field will hold several thousand people.  i suspect that quick fingers shouldn't have too much of a problem scoring GA tickets at the onsale.

wml7 - no, field are $55.

Really??  Why the heck is field so cheap?  I know you are crammed in there but you would expect it to be more.

for at least the last few tours, if not longer, GA/field/pit tickets for U2 have been cheaper than the best seats immediately behind them. 

i suspect the idea is to cater to two different classes of fan: calmer, better off financially, and seeking comfort/defined space, VS. younger, less affluent, rabid, willing to be packed in shoulder-to-shoulder.

in other words, they pack the pit with the kind of fans that an ego-driven rock star like bono is going to want right in front of him

Isn't this U2 tour the ones opposed to the merger of ticketmaster and livenation be boycotting?

i could not care less for U2
i've seen them about 12 years ago in DC and was not impressed
Muse on the other hand might present new material
and listening to new muse material before it comes out on the album - priceless
that said, I am gutted that Muse don't have a pre-sale for their fans
it means they only want exposure

Yeah for the Giant stadium presale all the $55 tickets are in the 300 sections.

[Borealis]

i did not buy seats,
i want to be in the pit, how much is the pit?

[wml7]

I can't find any available for pit.  However these ticket prices are weird.  It's showing $250 for tickets that are in the 200 sections but for even closer seats it shows 95 bucks in the 100 sections.
