    Id say they'll just swipe the credit cards and not bother with ID, have seen them do it for other paperless gigs.

    Should be quick enough as scanning the tickets apart from the ones you know will turn up with issues

    What's the story with swiping the credit card if it has expired before the gig? Mine is due to expire next month

    Keep the expired card. That's the advice from U2.com anyway

    Bring whatever card you bought the tickets with. It'll work no problem, was in the ticket master FAQ

    Who are all these people? I only know two other people who like them and even they aren't all that bothered about seeing them anymore.

    Yea, and all the so called "fans" who aren't members of the website, never seen them live before and come on here and have the gaul to ask for pre sale codes!

    Even some of the comments about not being sure if it's worth it to sign up to the website to get the access code. If you are signing up to the website, it should not be for the access code, but rather for being a fan and you do actually get something physical every year for the website sign up. the pre-access code is a bonus, and has been going back as far as the propaganda days, so not a new idea or anything that fans might not be aware of!

    Damn...I didn't realise signing up to an official fan club makes you a fan. I'd better go unsee their last 4 tours and give back all the albums I've been buying of theirs. Oh and the t shirts. And the books, I didn't even think about the books. All worthless now as i never signed up to a website. Stupid me!!

    well it looks like you have no excuse so. you are a fan obviously who enjoys collecting their stuff. why not pay the few quid and collect the limited stuff that is available only to subscribers? then you would have gotten the presale access code all by yourself, oh and you would have also gotten discount for all the merchandise you got through the years.... the subscription pays for itself

    So all tickets are buyer locked? Seems this was added almost as an afterthought. Was this made clear in the pre sale for the seated tickets?

    I bought tickets in the pre-sale for myself and brother in law using my dads credit card. There seated tickets so do I need Id. It's getting a but ridiculous at this stage

    Technically yes ,it would seem
    Regular ticket holders must also present a valid govt issued photo ID for the purchaser only.

    However will this actually be implemented ,who knows.
    It could get very messy on the night ,if people are refused entry ,there could be riots.
    I'd say bring some id of your dads just to be safe.

    seems to be working well so far at the other venues. it's a good way to stop the re-sellers, though I don't understand if all tickets are paperless, how are they being advertised on reseller sites

    I'll bring the card and his social welfare card.

    Imagine travelling up and not been left in because the name on id does not match the ticket name.

    Only standing tickets are paperless .Seating are not ,hence why they are being touted .
    These dont require ID at other venues but for the Irish gigs they may.

    U2.com seem to be making up these rules as they go on ,for such a big band their website really is terrible.

    I'm not such a huge fan of Bono's solo stuff though. That tv show he had with Cher was just ill advised.

    These fans are coming out of the woodwork now ,but I wouldn't have expected anything less to be honest.
    We know what to expect at this stage.

    You will see them at the gig ,busy going in and out to the bar while the show is on,updating their Facebook profiles and posting selfies of "Look at me" and be yapping while the slow songs are on.
    They will stick their crappy smartphone camera right in front of you trying to record the gig .

    If you are lucky you will be sitting near them and will be like a yoyo getting up and down for them to go to the bar or if you are really lucky maybe they will be standing near you and start a fight after too much drink.
    Always the same.

    While i 100% agree with you about those type of concert goers, i fail to see why you think there's different levels of entitlement to fans. Of course people are suddenly talkin U2 this week and will be up until November. People don't have to constantly leave messages on a board to show their true fannage.

    I think it just came across as a bit cheeky that it looks like you joined Boards.ie this week and were asking about for codes whereas people who have been on Boards.ie for years and are desperate for tickets haven't asked as they know not to.

    I'm sure you're a big fan, probably bigger than me, in fact from what you've said, probably levels and levels above me. But you can't blame people for being sceptical when someone joins the site and starts exclusively asking about for codes :)
