boston.com: An Internet presale deal has some local U2 fans up in arms. They claim the so-called "preferred seating" offered for the band's May FleetCenter shows was no such thing.
The sale, which began Tuesday, gave members of the band's subscription service, U2.com, the chance to buy tickets through Ticketmaster before they go on sale to the public Saturday. But fans said the seats available to the May 24 and 26 concerts were no better than those that will be offered this weekend. By the time fans got online, they said the better seats had all been snatched up. [ more]
