U2 Can Still Get Tickets

By Jen Chaney

Thanks to a tip from a reader who has become my new best friend, I discovered that Ticketmaster is doing a ticket drop for next week's U2 shows.

What does this mean? It means that, if your timing is right, you could score great seats to the MCI Center concerts on Wednesday and Thursday. All you have to do is visit ticketmaster.com or call (202-397-SEAT, 410-547-SEAT or 703-573-SEAT) to find out if a pair is available.

I initially tried online and got dismissed. Ten minutes later, on my second try, I scored tickets for Thursday's show in section 101, row B. I'm not sure how many last-minute seats are available, but if I got lucky, maybe you can, too. My source tells me Ticketmaster also sometimes releases tickets the day of the show, a last-resort option if, come Wednesday or Thursday, you still haven't found what you're looking for.
