    Yes, still waiting as well Seve. I keep meaning to send off an email. Once I have my tickets is the main thing.

    For 2017? I'm waiting too. They did say there was a production issue and they would recommence sending them in February.

    Anyone looking for tickets on toutless will be disappointed. Banned the sale of them there. Prices are ridiculous on the other sites and a crazy booking fee.

    So, the most ethical website is banned. Makes sense.

    Toutless banned them, as they do with all tickets requiring ID checks or the original credit card to get in. Too messy for them.

    There's no win win situation at all really is there. Unless you get a ticket from TM it's a huge gamble/loss of money.

    A kind boardsie sent me a code which almost secured me Belfast tickets just now. They were in my basket but the site timed me out when I still had 9 minutes. Needless to say when I tried again the code didn't work anymore. But I did get two tickets with the "join U2.com" option. Total cost £268. There should still be some available.

    FFS, my first order which the site told me had disappeared actually went through, leaving me with two pairs of tickets. Before the rage subsides, allowing me to look at these muppets' website, can anyone tell me if I can give them back (for a refund)?

    Just get them and sell them on to a fan in need.

    You get your money back plus, you help someone out. Win win

    Was just looking on Seatwave out of curiosity. All seem to be seated. Do they block the ticketless standing tickets from being sold on then?

    Yeah, did this in the end and a work colleague of my wife claimed them. Easier all round and saves me giving Ticketmaster another few euros.

    It's looking that way, guess they can't find a way around the paperless system. Imagine the awkwardness of walking into a gig with two strangers you'd charged 500 quid each to see the same thing you paid 88 for :eek:

    So if ticketmaster had of made this an entirely paperless ticket event with a window for genuine customers to return there tickets for resale through ticketmaster at face value rotten touting would be elimenated. There could even be a lanyard on entrance for those who like to keep mementos.

    Then again I would say ticketmaster make a killing off of seatwave so I guess they don't give a fiddlers about fans been ripped off by touts! It's amazing the amount of people I've come across who fork out on grotesquely inflated tickets! Never never NEVER!

    There are many ways around the paperless system ,the simplest way is to buy the tickets on a prepaid debit card , and its commonplace in the US.

    We've not banned sales/requests. We're allowing them within the terms of the restrictions on our Restricted Tickets section. Basically the named person on the ticket must attend but can bring others in. Swaps aren't allowed.

    Anyone trying for Belfast?
    The only option is for a subscription at an extra £45... what if you're already a member!?

    According to U2.com, general public tickets are at 10am, but Ticketmaster's site says 9... which is correct?

    That's very strange. Looks like TM chancing their arms there.

    Seems like plenty of availability. Had a quick look and lots of areas on sale.

    General Sale is 9am but Ticketmaster put them on sale before 9 ,I checked at 8.55 and you could buy tickets (without membership fee)

    Another shambles by Ticketmaster

    I refuse to pay over €100 for a stand alone gig. A festival? Sure. 1 gig? Fvck right off. Granted I said at one point years ago €60 was the tops. The market has gone insane.

    I'd have to agree, €100 is pretty much where I stop. It'd have to be someone at the very top of my bucket list for me to breach that and even then I don't think I could stomach going above €120.

    As a rule, €100 would be as much as I would go for a concert/football ticket.

    I'm as big a U2 fan as you will find anywhere. I'd probably push it to €150 to see them.... unless of course I win the Euromillions tonight. In that case I might stretch to the €201 :D

    100 euro is my max too ,above that I have rarely gone.
    I can afford it but I just dont think it is worth it for a night out when I factor in travel costs,accommodation ,food ,drink etc.

    It seems Ticketmaster in the States and Ticketone in Milan have started reducing some of the upper tier top price seats to boost sales.
    Two fingers to the early purchasers basically.

    I see U2 have just posted a snippet of the Discotheque video on Instagram to mark 20 years since its release this week.

    Hopefully an indication that the setlist for E&I will revisit some of these gems!
