The pre-sale two-ticket limit for U2.com members (for the entire tour) was a poor decision. <\/p>\n
While I enjoy the U2.com membership renewal “gifts” each year, that is not why I pay for a membership. I purchase my membership each year to take advantage of pre-sale priority groups. However, for many of us, being devoted fans and members has not paid-off so well for the up-coming tour.<\/p>\n
I wanted to bring my wife and son to a NYC show, but I could only by two GA tickets during the pre-sale. Had I purchased a third ticket in the public sale, one of us would have been alone in a seat someplace, because all the GA tickets were sold out in the pre-sale. <\/p>\n
U2 keeps adding more shows and I’m locked out of those pre-sales, because I bought my allotment of two tickets. I would love to get two Denver tickets, but I have to wait until the public sale and chances are good that the GA tickets will be gone by then.<\/p>\n
Some may argue this change was an attempt to reduce ticket scalping, but that’s a load of crap! Having all four tickets purchased with the same card, and having the cardholder present when entering the venue will make scalping somewhat difficult.<\/p>\n
Some have said the minimum has more to do with the tour being in arena’s. I could see that being a valid issue … if they didn’t keep adding shows.<\/p>\n
U2.com should bring back the four ticket maximum for the member pre-sale. They should show some appreciation and commitment to those of us who have cashed out nearly $300 dollars in membership fees between tours to keep our memberships active<\/u>, so that we can take advantage of priority groups such as eXPERIENCE.<\/p>\n
Just a thought for 2016 …<\/p>\n
In addition to the nice renewal “gifts,” U2.com should create these three priority groups as a way to reward membership renewals:<\/p>\n
\u00bb Group 1: Six ticket limit (for members 10+ years)
\n\u00bb Group 2: Four ticket limit (for members 2 to 10 years)
\n\u00bb Group 3: Two ticket limit (for new members up to 1 year)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
