Originally posted by WideAwakeBadBoy:Anyone seen the news about Ed Sheeran tickets?? They've worked out which tickets were bought by known touts and cancelled 10,000 of them, then helped genuine fans who bought these get refunded and get valid tickets for the right price - it can obviously be done so how come U2 don't take a stance like this? Is there a reason?
All the hullabaloo he and his manager were going on about over the last 10 months about no resale being allowed and they didnt even bother checking anyone for ID at his Irish gigs.
His management made a right mess ,there was no way to resell the tickets for face value in Ireland ,so people who bought 10 months ago were stuck with tickets they believed that they could not give to a friend or resell for face value.
Not to mention the fact that none of his gigs were really sold out ,and he manipulated the market.
Loads of his tickets for the UK gigs were held back for hospitality and hotel packages.
