how much is tix?!

hi guys of course I cannot wait for the tickets to go on sale either!!!!


And I haven't been 'sad' enough to subscribe to U2.com I'm afraid...


So a question for all of you who seem to know everything [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] do you know if they'll only announce the dates on the site, or if you can buy tickets trhough the official website too?? Or is there any official/recommended website to buy REAL OFFICIAL tickets?? You see, I'm in Italy.... and there have been websites selling tickets for quite a few days already, but I wasn't sure about them, as the dates hadn't been announced officially yet.... and they are selling them for 390 € !!!!![img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img] So is there a way to know which is the official price as well????


I'm afraid it was not one, but a few questions... [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]


Thanks for your help!!!!!

well i found those sites a while ago too..i was damn confused and scared!!they were selling for 180 yos when i looked [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]but tomorrow its buying on u2.com i think, but they are working thru ticketmaster. if ya havent subscribed then ticketmaster is the site to use - dont go for those gimmicky ones, pretty sure they are just buying in loads of tickets to sell at ridiculous prices..they may never even get the tickets so stay safe as they say in the states [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]I am going to explode when i see them [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

eheheh lucky you!!!


So tomorrow I'll have a look at ticketmaster.


Please keep me posted if you have any news. TA!!!!! [img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img]

okay new news...the tickets on sale tomorrow are only for half the tour..dublin and paris (and i dont know where else) aren't being sold till the 31st..any thoughts on more dublin gigs? i mean the rumours were always for 2 gigs and possibly 3..now its one? many theories are circulating..such as that only the first gig (24th) is being sold online and the other two will be got the good ol' fashioned way - queing up..


any thoughts?!?![img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

no they always only announce one gig first... and then add one or two morning the second the first one sells out...

any word on support acts? i heard rumors of Kings of Leon and Snow Patrol....only rumors

thank you very much Emmett!


Italian dates only TBC....... [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

*sigh* no U2 gig again for me....i think i' m gonna cry. [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

yeah I missed them too in 2001, it was a nightmare.....

Poor Una! Come see them here!!!

I' d love to.was thinkin of goin to ireland but how can i book a ticket when i have no credit card!!!??? I hate my life.

Una cant you get one of them pre-paid ones? We have those in Italy. Quite a few of them, like... I have one from the Post Office, you buy it there and go to the Post Office everytime you want to put money in it, and it doesn't have to be linked to a bank account. Only the money you put in there is actually there, and there are no expenses, it's totally free. It's fantastic for the Internet 'cos it's as valid as any other Visa card, but if they somehow get your number, they can't steal more than what's in there (it'd be much more dangerous if it was linked to a bank account).... which, in my case, is never much!!!!![img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]


They are also completely free to get.... go get one girl, ifyou can!

are ye talkin about The Internet card? hmmm..might try to get the ticket via ticketmaster.ie then. damn....think I'll cry al night again.

italian dates r confirmed. just not the dates

thanks emmett [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] tickets for the Italian dates will be on sale on Feb 14th, and if I manage to buy them it will be my best Valentine's ever!!!!! [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

yay!! Una just got that internet card!! thanks Vero!! so i weely might be goin to u2..well only if i get the ticket from ticketmaster.ie!!!

I have a f**king a-level exam two days after...!!![img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]
