Did you activate your account?  I also signed up for the free account a few months back.  Seems I forgot to activate it.  Even after activation I believe you have to fill out some user data before your done. 

Yes, my account is working, I am logged in in u2.com right now. But that page sucks. I am logged in, yet it ask me if I want to "sign up" for the pre-sale (in my case de polish show). Also, next to this show is the link "subscribe" (for the pre-sale), I click there and it takes me to this page with the photo of the band. Why they don't put a message "you have been sucesfully subscribed" and stuff? :?

By the way, the first show in Milano was sold out, both Amsterdam sold out, both Goteburg sold out. Is there any more succesful band other than U2? :shock:

Yeah, I found their page somewhat confusing, too.  In a way I'm glad they haven't added a Seattle show yet.  But after looking at some things I noticed they said I'll be eligible for the second group of presales.  They're running the in groups of three.  Long time members get first crack at tickets, the newest members get last.  I guess I signed up in time to be in the middle. 

I remember the last time U2 tickets went on sale quite well.  There was one Seattle date in an 18,000 seat arena.  After reading reports that second dates were being added as shows sold out, I wasn't too worried about getting a ticket.  As tickets went on sale for the first show, I was in an online queue which said my estimated wait time was 9 minutes!  Now we all know that the show would be well sold out by that time.  What ended up happening was it did sell out, a second show was immediately added, and my place in line (on Ticketmaster's website) just carried over to the added date.  I had know idea that would happen and was one of the few times I was pleased with TM.  Two more minutes of waiting (impatiently) and I scored the ticket I wanted.  Some good seats, pretty much centered in the lower bowl.  Tried to get another pair, but had a wait time of 15 minutes.  Of course it had sold out by that time.

17 hours? but looks like that one selling really really slow then. one would rather expect the GA area to be sold out in 17 minutes or something.
maybe there are still countries where u2 isn't that big after all. ;)

I´m happy for all You guys who wants to see them and had got Your tickets. Me myself wouldn´t see or hear them even if I got paid to do it. Never could understand that bands "greatness".

Seems Muse will be supporting U2 for their New York area shows. Hmmm...wish I knew that before.  :roll:

Good news if Muse is touring!  :rocker  Perhaps a few dates with U2 and then some headline dates?  Wishful thinking I suppose.

sure, i don't mind them touring. but i meant that if it's about them becoming more U2-ish now, i'm not entirely sure if it's a good thing. i just wouldn't want to see them becoming a stadium band. they are so much better than that imo.

but on the other hand i'm not too surprised. well they already opened for DM a couple years ago (in sweden). and "the U2 connection" has surely been there, gear wise.
it's pretty obvious (the pic by sousous, from nimes 2007):
