I waited on ticketmaster for 10 minutes (my wait time) and then a screen poopped up and said "Access to system is limited."


I should have learned from the first round of ticket experiences. Guess i'll wait til sassy gets me a bootleg form the show.

I'm sure Sassy will hook you up

Our Canadian Prime Minister actually called up Bono to arrange a date for Ottawa, and they did it.
I live in Toronto and they already have a date here...
It's gonna be a hell of a night as the TV stations here will consider it big news.

y'all are sweet...so i got nosebleed tickets for the saturday show at MSG. I think section 325 or soemthing...that's good enough for me.

I really don't mind nosebleed seats when it comes to seating. In the 300 section you can see right onto the stage without having people blocking your view..

purplegypsy said:

Good for you! At least you'll be in the house.And you can always bring some extra cash and pay a scalper outside the venue,if you want better seats.As showtime comes closer,they get desperate to get rid of their tickets.

sassy tried to hook her up with GA seats several times but purplegypsy insisted that she would not be going. its a shame, too, because i'll be at the first msg show on 21 may...

SassyBritches said:

that's not the whole story. since we're talking in 3rd person, what sassy forgot to mention is that purplegypsy stated to him she is really tight on money and had to prioritize her concerts for the spring. being that purplegypsy had seen u2 5 times, seeing them on the spring leg and paying ridiculous amounts of money for that one show they scheduled was too much for her.

purplegypsy said:

no ridiculous amounts of money were required since i had a presale code for the first pre sale and a second code for the second pre-sale. just sayin'...

So Purplegypsy,did you work something out? Are you going to the show?

yes, a coworker asked me to go out of pity. Her office is next to mine and she heard me cursing out my computer (I HATE ticketbastard!) - she managed to get through and got tickets - nosebleed seats but whatever. Thanks for asking!

I feel your pain.

I'm sticking to my guns about being fiscally responsible this year. That means I can't even consider spending the $176 for good seats at the Mpls show.

Sadly they are playing the Target Center here. The accoustics are SOOOO BAD in that arena that I won't allow myself to sit in "the cheap seats."

Therefore, no U2 for me.
