It’s going to be an amazing time! I’m jealous of how many times you’ve seen her! I feel like I need to make up for all the years I wasn’t allowed to go and then for my own dumbness for missing her in Seattle for the Funhouse tour. You are right. It will be amazing. Most of the show I have attended was in 2002, in smaller venues. I was 22-23 years old. It was the good old days. Everything is so complicated now. I'm just shocked right now haha my crazyness!

In the end our only option will be to be ugly too. Like, these two seats I found for 200 USD, get them and resell them for 2000 USD like everyone else seems to be doing and then get pit ticket for 2200 USD, because let’s admit it this is the ugly reality. I can’t believe we’re left out like this. If it means that this is how it’s going to be to be able to work, then I don’t know I guess I’ll rather be on Spotify and YouTube. Because my soul and my karma spirit are not made for this. Total truth. I wanted floor so badly but man, $650? That’s a house payment. She’s worth it, but I don’t just have it sitting around, you know? I don’t need the VIP stuff. I just want the opportunity to buy the seat. Stinking Ticketmaster. I want my girls to get to go too, but I can’t spend $800 at the drop of a hat. I know it’s first world problems and they could be happy dancing around the living room, but I just want to let them experience as much as possible. I really wanna know where the $220 GA pit tickets went. None to any fan at least.

Sorry, the more I read the more stressed I get. This is no fun. Long term fans are being priced out. It’s wrong. Yes and nobody fucking cares. This is very obvious. We need to just face the truth, accept this is the reality now and stop whining about it. Because nothing will happen. They were very clear about that the last time tickets went on sale. I mean, not even one sentence or two about Shreadnet presale being the same as last time. What does that take to write? 10 seconds. FFS.

I've had my rant, I'll just have to move on and hope for change one day. Maybe an acoustic gig in 10 years will be cheaper? Maybe not! haha. I'll start saving now.

Had anyone managed to get tickets? I have a verified fan code for Sacramento and at the minute past it said there were no tickets available.

This is absurd. Maybe she’s just getting burnt out and would rather not have to interact with her crazy die hard fans.

If this trend spills in to the U.K. dates then we won’t be going. I just can’t afford to pay more than I earn a month/more than my rent on tickets. I couldn’t if I wanted to. Shit. What a sorry state of affairs. This. A front row ticket is a monthly salary, ridiculous. Maybe she's not coming to Europe because they couldn't milk us with these prices because no one would buy a far seating ticket for 200 euros. Maybe they couldn't agree on the terms with thepromoters or venues so they went with the rich countries instead.

But she's always the happiest when we're there. It makes no sense U2 give a couple nosebleed seats GA pit entry just because they think GA is quiet without them and they know their hardcore fans are most likely to end up with shitty seats.

It makes no sense U2 give a couple nosebleed seats GA pit entry just because they think GA is quiet without them and they know their hardcore fans are most likely to end up with shitty seats. I will say... my pit experience was less than I expected. The vibe wasn’t quite right. The night before? The vibe was perfect. I was 4th Row floor because I had gotten lucky enough to get a last minute seat at face value. Made friends with an English couple that pulled me up to their row and we sang our guts out. She watched us most of the night, I think partly because we seemed to be the only people who knew all the songs, but also their Union Jack sign probably didn’t hurt. The ladies I was with that night said they had seen her 20+ times always from the pit but that night was their favorite because of the way you could feel her connecting with us. The following night was the one I had been waiting for since Oct and while it was amazing, it just was not the same. The people around me weren’t diehard. I was around people who were there because they could afford to be there and I think she felt it. She came to our side in the beginning and touched all our hands, another time she signed things for younger kids towards the middle of the catwalk and I got to show her the Whitney t (which she commented on how much she loved Whitney and the song the photo was from without realizing I was trying to give it to her😊), and later she stopped when she realized I was trying to give her the Whitney T and book I brought for her and the kids (while the lady next to me shoved crap into her face trying to get her to sign a copy of Beautiful Trauma) but those were really the only times she fully interacted on our side. The opposite side? That was where the more authentic fans were and she did interact more with them. I knew while I was in line and listening to everyone as they joined the 7 of us that had been waiting for hours that the majority of my side was the entitled “I’m here because I can be” and the opposite was the side that I had been scrimping and saving to make it. She seemed to interact the most with those at the very front of the barrier though. I don’t know about the night prior since I wasn’t in the pit.

There were only 2 people in the whole pit singing every word on my side. Me and some random girl. So sad

That's the only time I've seen the regular GA pit tickets being sold, well besides Ticketmaster platinum for $ 1,250.

So sad I cried about it for a few days because I hadn’t been able to do the pit before and it was the thing that I had been looking to help me keep my sanity during my husband being stationed in Korea since before Xmas. I legit had to replay it all to remind myself that it was still an incredible experience... and the first night? It was perfect.
