Im feeling like im being held to ransom. Im so disgusted by this. So i am in two minds whether to bother attending this tour or not. It all reeks of pure GREED!
Regardless of how many tours there are in a calender year. If your subscription is active during the period that two tours are announced, then you should get access to pre sales....FULL STOP!!
I know of someone who got the email, so subscribed again. NOW...he is subbed till october 2019. Surely his last subscription would have covered him for upcoming pre sale??? #Angry
I don't disagree and it sucks for people that have to pay again after just paying to renew just for presale access, it's not right. The whole process wasn't handled well at all.
For me personally by time this tour starts I would have had to renew my subscription anyway. Also, last year instead of having to renew my subscription when it was up in October, it was extended for 3 months. So in essence I received 3 extra months of membership without having to pay, so it didn't bother me to renew early.
I guess the most annoying part for me is that tickets are going on sale 6-7 months before the tour even starts, which I know U2 has done in the past, but it's hard to buy tickets that far in advance because so much can happen from now until then.
