    Got 2 tickets for Saturday night but got them via the "Gold Tickets VIP" i.e. got fleeced for €317 a ticket but not bothered by that.
    Looking forward to another great night!

    What block / row out of interest?

    I'd want the royal box and personal waiter for that money!

    I have an album presale code, but when I click the link in the email it doesn't list the Friday/Saturday dates. Is there a way to use the album presale code for those dates does anyone know? Thanks, and good luck.

    Managed to get 2 standing for the Friday after nearly 2 hours. Never had such problems with a presale before. Can relax now!

    Block F row 28. Nothing special.

    Back in 2009 when they played Croke Park I managed to get corporate box tickets with 3 course meal and full free bar from 6pm to 10pm for the same price as what I just paid for a ticket. Literally did have a waiter bring in food and drinks into the box.

    Still not too bothered, only so many more times U2 will tour. Given they have played Dublin 3 of the last 4 years this might be the last time for quite a while.

    Are these paperless or can you get them send out. I'd rather the physical ticket.

    Not if people continue to pay silly prices its not. Demand dictates the market. People falling over themselves to cough up for 200 quid tickets. :rolleyes:

    Been on since 8.50 and and 10.50 only just managed to get 2 seated for the Friday night.... Such a pain in the arse but delighted now! :)

    FYI computer was giving me nothing but "Sorry, no tickets match your search." all morning finally had success on the mobile site via phone browser..... (not the app)

    I'm confused if they are going on general sale at the same time, therefore 3 is not really a presale then... Am I right? Is 3 just using it as a marketing tool?

    My read is that they have their own pool of tickets for people to fight over.

    Friday mornings pre-sale

    Paid €417 for two seats in block n for the Monday night. I must be mad. Internet was acting up earlier and just went for it. Not sure now if I should of paid that for them. Sort of regret it.

    You'll be paying 450 on the next tour.

    And other people will be paying similar for similar bands. "Oh U2 charged xxx...."

    Thanks everyone.

    It really is hard to criticise the admittedly addicted to money band when people pay these crazy prices..... Madness!

    Don't regret it, it will be a great night. You will be on your death bed soon enough and you wont be thinking "glad I didn't spend that money on a U2 gig".

    Yeah its a bit pricey but if you enjoy yourself then what about. I spend more on diesel every few weeks but will remember great nights out with friends and family more so.

    U2's standing ticket price in Dublin has remained static for years chief.

    They must have released another tranche of tickets just before 11 as I've been on since before 9 and had no success (apart from a single seated ticket which then went to "There was a problem processing your request. We apologise for any inconvenience.")

    Am delighted now though ... just got two seated for e118.85 each - block N for Friday! Used mobile browser but also had PC waiting with Belfast tickets counting down while frantically trying for Dublin.

    Anyone know when the album pre-sales start at 12 are we all in with a shout again. Have my innocence code but can't bring myself to pay €417 for 2 tickets!

    360 tour was 67 quid for standing. Innocence + Experience was 75 quid, Joshua Tree tour was 76 and now this tour is 81.

    I'm referring to the seats really though. 100, 190 and now 205 or whatever respectively. We're into American prices for big acts. Really not good.

    Hate to say it but he's spot on:pac:

    Torn about whether trying my retail code for Belfast or Manchester. One can't complain about anything in life when that's an issue really, can you?

    I have to say the $50 to join the u2 fansite is well worth it in my opinion, have got tickets to London,Manchester and the dublin gigs with ease on the last 2 tours
