From U2.com, announcing that there is hope in this world:
Thanks to everyone who took part in our first U2.Com ticket presale for the European and North American 'Vertigo Tour'.
We know that subscribers experienced difficulties buying their tickets and we're pleased that those problems are now being ironed out.
Most of you have now be able to book tickets for these shows and we appreciate your messages of thanks and support. Sorry that demand exceeded supply for Madison Square Garden NY and Wachovia Centre, Philadelphia shows. We went way over the original allocation.
We really appreciate your patience as this is the first time we've attempted an online presale. New technology including U2.Com - helps us stay in touch with you but also reveals its drawbacks when everyone tries to do the same thing at once.
Don't forget, if you have a subscriber code it will still be honoured when the band plays more dates. There will be more tickets for U2.Com subscribers.
We are very aware that some people seem to have abused the system to scalp on Ebay or similar sites. We are currently looking into the possibility of identifying these people and withdrawing their tickets. Any help you can give us on this would be gratefully received.
Remember that your subscription to U2.Com gives you much more than access to the presale - not least the fact that you can watch on demand every videothe band have made and listen to every track on every album, every b-side onevery single!
Right now you can check the band taking you through 'How To Dismantle AnAtomic Bomb' track-by-track, watch the 'Making Of Vertigo' documentary, read the new Jacknife Lee profile and catch Phil Joanou's 'All Because of You' video ... there's lots more on the way.
