If you're not a 3 customer and I don't get a ticket myself I'll happily put you down under my name for it I still miss the "event" style tickets that had one off designs on them like band logo rather than the generic Ticketbastard ones. Haven't collected tickets in years.

But they've been vindicated by the sales (although apparently you can still get London opening night seats at the highest price). As people seem to be buying them, you can't really argue with it. Simple economics. But yeah, sets a bad precedent for future gigs.

However for other people who aren't particularly arsed about them anymore and see them for the businessmen they've become, this is really bad news. Just no need at all to charge people €196.ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY SIX FCUKING EURO!Shameful. I really worry now that other acts will perceive this as the norm. Is this going to be the price we have to pay from now on to see big acts in Dublin?!

MisterAnarchy wrote: » If Paul McGuinness was still managing them ,they wouldn't be charging these prices. U2's new manager Guy Oseary is to put it politely ,not like McGuinness. He also manages Madonna who likes rip off ticket prices and Oseary is using the same pricing system for Madonna for this tour. Madonna doesnt care if people hate her but U2 do so I think they have made a big mistake on this tour with the outlandish ticket prices. Lets face it ,the band are primarily only interested in money at this stage ,from the Apple album deal to this tours ticket prices,it all about bringing in the maximum revenue.

The Dublin shows were so long coming and there was so much uncertainty about them for so long that they must surely have realised that many Irish fans (me included) would have used their pre sale code for other shows. We are the only subscribers in the world who have been given another code. I'm delighted. As regards prices, some of the tickets are insane but some are pretty reasonable. 75 quid for a standing ticket is 30 euro cheaper than I paid to see Springsteen in a field two years ago.

johnpatrick81 wrote: » You have me really worried now:( Do you know anyone that had the "sale cancelled" issue before? I thought it was just went they noticed the same credit card had been used. I used a different one this time around. The fact the code let us in should be the green light that it was re-instated shouldn't it?
deeroy12 wrote: » Same here used different cards.U2start"There's always a risk. In the US loads of tickets got cancelled due to suspicious orders. In Europe also a few though.U2.Com theres a forum dedicated to people who had tickets cancelled in the US but no complaints from Europe.On U2.Com theres a new forum added with bout 30 Subscribers whos codes didn't work today
