Talking I'm a happy boy today.. managed to get U2 tickets for June

Unfortuantely, not for Twickenham but for Manchester on the 14th

I am soooo happy

It only took 50 mins of constantly hitting 'refresh' and dialing engaged / dead numbers too.

Anyone else going at all??

One very happy Shaggy (nothing is going upset my day today)

Lucky barstewards.

I've given up trying, usual story as soon as they go on sale the phone network and Internet fall apart. Seems like they're all sold out now anyway.

There is a rumour that they may play Glastonbury this year though getting tickets for that gets harder by the year. They should give priority to veterans based on how many programs you have or something

Thumbs up

Got U2 tickets for the Sunday show at Twickenham. Didn't take too long to get in the end. Got through on the phone to an automated service about 9.15am, only to be told that the Saturday show was unavailable and the call would disconnect....arrrgghh! Then noticed on the web that Sunday had been added and at the second attempt the sale went through about 9.30am.

First saw U2 on the October tour at the Brighton Top Rank back in 1981, and seen them several times on every UK tour since, so felt obliged to make the effort to go again .

U2 subscribers could buy tickets from 9am on tuesday morning, so I guess thats where the majority of the saturday Twickenham tickets went.
