The Sweetest Thing: TicketsNow.com Helps U2 Fans

Web Site Offers $40 Discount on Tickets to U2.com Members

CHICAGO, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Around the world, members of U2's fan club were thwarted in their efforts Tuesday to buy Vertigo tour concert tickets -- despite paying a $40 subscription fee to http://www.u2.com/ to have access to pre-sale tickets. In response, TicketsNow.com, the world's largest and most secure online marketplace for premium event seating, is offering U2.com members a $40 discount on any U2 ticket order placed through http://www.ticketsnow.com/ .

"Our goal has always been to provide loyal fans with ultimate concert experiences," said Mike Domek, president of TicketsNow. "That's why we are helping U2 fan club members by discounting their ticket order by $40 -- essentially enabling them to recoup the amount they've already paid to U2.com for tickets they didn't get."

To redeem this offer, U2.com members simply go to the TicketsNow.com home page and click on the area that reads: "Fan Club Members" The offer is good until Feb. 13, 2005.

Offering a comprehensive and completely secure database of secondary event tickets to fans closed out of box office sales, TicketsNow cautions against buying U2 tickets from unknown private parties and even some Internet sites. Unlike other online ticket marketplaces, every seat sold on TicketsNow.com is legitimate and guaranteed for delivery. Only TicketsNow prescreens every seller before they are allowed to list tickets on the site to certify that all tickets are authentic.
