U2 or bust.......

Being a member of U2.com has it`s advantages.....the main one being a chance to purchase tickets to concerts before the general public. I have been a fan since the mid 1980's and have been lucky enough to see them on 4 previous occassions. It was frustrating not to be able to see them on their last tour...the Elevation tour of 2001 so you can imagine my delight when i found out that they were coming to Japan April 4th 2006!!! Oh my goodness....i was abuzz.....a little anxious that i may miss the presale due to flying back to Japan from NZ but determined to get tickets.....it was touch and go for a while....I was able to order over the internet...but did not hear anything for a while.....and then got 2 e-mails which seemed to indicate all was good but which were indecipherable to most people i asked. I eventually rang some number in Tokyo and was cut off once, put on hold and then told that they did not have my details!! oh no....I began to despair a little...had I been lost in the big black hole called...Cyberspace??? I then received a phone call back to say...all was okay and i would receive the tickets within a few days...and then.......i was in the Post office on a friday afternoon and they remembered me and handed me a blue envelope......i opened it and...YES...there they were 4 tickets to U2 in Yokohama April 4th.....YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!
