No seriously! 
Should I have gotten an email already? I actually haven't gotten an email from U2.com in a while..

Yeah if you're a subscriber you should be getting the presale emails. Have you updated your contact info at u2.com?

Oh noooooooooooooooo! 
I checked my info at u2.com, but it's the same email addy I've always used. I've gotten emails from them before, so I know it works...I wonder what's going on.

The last email I got from them was the "Welcome to the new U2.com" email, where you had to verify your email addy and contact info, etc. I have done so, but maybe something went wrong.

Ahh..well this from U2.com:
So it looks like even if I'm getting no email, I'll be okay. Maybe.
Oh, and sorry for derailing the thread momentarily.

Has anyone tried to get GA and seats for the same show in a presale? (I want 2 seats and 1 GA) What happened?
Has anyone tried to get GA tickets for more than one show in the same presale? To what end?

In the US you can use your presale code whatever way you like as long as you only get 4 tickets with the same code.
For Europe, it shouldn't be a problem to get a seat and a GA as long as you're within the 4 tickets and it's all for the same show.

I know you CAN get GA and seats. I'm just wondering if anyone has actually tried it and gotten both in the US for the same gig.

I guess I'm not clear on what the doubt actually is.
Sorry I'm not making myself clear. I just wonder if, by the time I get my husband and son their seats, will there still be GA left?
Then of course, I still want to get 1 GA for another city that will probably be on sale the same day. My concern is that, if they're selling out in minutes, by the time I get the first set of tickets, all the other ones will be sold out. Does that make sense?

I'm pretty sure it would have to be done in two separate transactions, and like you said, time is of the essence. Would it be possible for your husband to try on one computer, and you on another?
Best alternative would be to have someone help you. If that's not feasible and it were me I'd probably try for the GA first and then the seats.

I bet it had to do with timing.

Probably because so many Breathe and Boots members got shut out in the presale for the first show. And, I would imagine that by then, many Horizon codes were used up, anyway.
Hmm. I'm spreading my Horizon code across a few shows. Kinda crap if the "seniority" only counts as a first crack for the first-listed shows. Timing could've been a part of it, but in that case it could've been a Saturday Horizon access til a certain time. Then Breathe and Boots on Sunday.

It doesn't really matter though. Good seats and GAs are plentiful in this presale.

Didn't use presale code/didn't know about presale
I didn't know the presale had started and didn't get an email from u2. Does anyone know if I'll be able to use it for the 2nd leg or is it wasted?
Thanks,
Andy

We're not really sure yet. See my previous posts in this thread.

How is it crap if it definitely helped? My friend is Horizon and easily pulled 4 GAs for our show. The Breath members also got GAs. I only heard of 2 or 3 Boots members getting GAs in our presale. I could not pull a single GA (I'm Boots). I did buy some seats as a backup, but they were no better than the seats I was pulling for the venue presales. So tomorrow morning is the clincher for me, my membership hasn't helped me one bit yet. As far as the added Toronot show, it looks like everyone here, regardless of group, got the tix they wanted in the all-group pre-sale for the second show. I've yet to hear of any Horizon members that did not get anything they wanted, all the ones I know got what they wanted in both presales (or just the first one for the non-Toronto shows).

So the likelihood of getting GA 4 this tour if U're either BOOTS or wait till the general on-sale here in the US is???? Any ideas yet?

yeah, section 119, row 28, seats 1-5 for me on U2 Toronto 2
Your best shot is if there's a 2nd show in the market. The presale for that show will most likely have less folks competing for tickets. Still a better chance than the onsale, at least from what I've seen today.
I'm looking at getting tix for Vancouver but i can't decide if I should bother with the presale. I am not looking for GA or the really expensive seats..probably just the $97 seats. Do you experts think there is a point in bothering with the presale then?

Damn... going 2 the one & only Tampa show, and trying 2 figure out if it's worth me renewing my membership from a few years back (Which would put me in the BOOTS group) or just take my chances date of general sale....
If you're leery of forking over $50, you can always try during the "bundle" presale and see what tix you land. But by then, you would've missed the chance at the (slightly) earlier presale. These shows have sold out quickly so far. Ultimately, what is the chance at seats worth to you?
