Larry Mullen of U2 emails...

Dear Big Rick



This is not something that I would normally do, but I feel that I have

to do something to redress this situation.



There was a mess up in the way the tickets were distributed through

U2.com for the Vertigo pre-sale. Some of it was beyond our control, but

some of it wasn't.



I am now in the process of figuring out a way of distributing the

tickets for our intended return to North America in the fall. The only

fair way of doing this, is to give U2 Propaganda members, who are now

U2.com members, priority in the queue.



After that, people will be given priority in the order in which they joined.

Many people who joined U2.com and didn't get tickets are

understandably angry. They now have the option to get a full refund of

their subscription fee.



The idea that our long-time U2 fans and scalpers competed for U2

tickets through our own website is appalling to me. I want to apologise

to you who have suffered that.



If your U2.com pre-sale experience has left you disappointed, I hope

this will go some way towards reassuring you of our total commitment

to our audience.



Slainte

Larry.



By the way, a note to those so-called U2 fans who are quick to accuse

U2 of unseemly behaviour, I've only got two words for you...
