U2 June Shows

[Vicar!]

Tickets on sale through Ticketmaster now (There site works once you get through.) All the others crash once you get to the booking phase. Took an hour or so to connect but worth the effort.

Managed to get 4 tickets for the Millenium stadium in Cardiff. Took an hour to get through the various internet pages and forever reloading but got there in the end through Aloud.com. Ticketmaster was a disaster for me.

Does anyone know rumours of who will be supporting them? I know Kings of Leon are supporting them on the US leg but had heard a rumour about the Killers supporting them in the UK. Anyone know?

I have heard its going to be snow patrol

I have now got tickets for

Brussels 10th June (pitch standing)
Twickenham 18th June (expensive seats!)
Hampden 21st June (pitch standing)
Croke Park, Dublin 24th June (pitch standing)
Croke Park, Dublin 25th June (pitch standing)

Going to leave it at that, unless I can get tickets for the second Twickenham gig on the 19th June.

Dublin tickets go on general sale on the 4th February.

So far both nights at Twickenham, Hampden, Manchester City and Cardiff Millenium have all sold out. They say more dates may be added soon.

Has anyone got help contact details for Ticketmaster?

I had a problem on the first pre-sale day, but my code was reactivated (took them about 24 hours to respond) and I used that to get the Saturday Dublin show!

Good luck! Which shows you planning to go to?

Scalpers Be Warned

Our thanks to many U2.Com subscribers who have sent us details of scalpers selling 'Vertigo' tour tickets - we are pursuing the leads you have mailed us.

Last week many U2 fans got in touch with us to complain about ticket touts offering tickets for the 'Vertigo 2005 Tour' at extortionate prices.

You have sent us in many useful online links and other information and a whole raft of ticket offers have already been taken down from online auction sites.

More action will follow.

Some of these touts have posed as genuine U2 fans, taken out a subscription and bought tickets in the presale only to readvertise them for huge sums.

Please be aware that anyone advertising tickets online does not have them in their possession yet - technology is helping us connect scalpers' offers with the original purchase of tickets.

When we identify rogue U2.Com subscribers as the source of sold-on tickets we are taking action to cancel the sale of those tickets and to redistribute those tickets to subscribers who have yet to get tickets.

Please also note the following clause in our terms of subscription to U2.Com.
"We reserve the right to block access to or cancel a ticket order of any user that we believe, in our sole and absolute discretion: (i) is or is associated with any ticket broker or scalper, (ii) is utilizing automated means to process or place ticket orders, or (iii) whose ticket order exceeds the stated limit."

If you have further information on scalpers and touts exploiting the tour,please let us know.

Do you think they could seriously do something about this? What would happen to the recalled tickets if the did? go back on general sale?

Would this be the wrong thread to suggest that i find U2 ever so slightly dull...?

yes but your entitled to your opinion
