EU Ticket News - B2B Ticketing Industry website

This morning the presale for the U2 Concert in Zurich, Switzerland started at 8 a.m. with hundreds gathered in the cold hours before 8 a.m. (Some say they were there already at 5 am) at the Ticketcorner office at Berne train station.

15 minutes later (at 8 a.m.), it was all over and all the 45.000 tickets were sold out.

According to a journalist on location only 4 to 6 people were able to get tickets at the ticketcorner in Berne and more than 50 people went home with empty hands.

While these fans were waiting in the cold, others were trying to purchae U2 tickets through the internet, however the Ticketcorner website was down due to a crash overload. Fans trying to visit the Ticketcorner website, ended up in the so called waiting room saying: “Our webshop is busy helping customers”.

At EU Ticket News we wrote about the AC/DC concert and Muse concert for which fans were able to subscribe to the website of the band in order to get the tickets earlier and this was also possible for the U2 Concert in Zurich. Many tickets were sold out before per sales started. At 8:45 a.m. the Ticketcorner website said:

“U2 Sales are done, the contingent is exhausted”.
