Verified fan sale is today

HAVE BEEN TOLD "We will continue to sell tickets to those who are verified until there are no more tickets to sell" -X

— ROBERT SMITH (@RobertSmith) March 15, 2023

The verified fan sale is today. Congratulations to everyone who got in! For all of us put on the waitlist,  best of luck in getting picked to participate today.

According to the venues, there were supposed to be some normal, no registration needed, presales on Thursday and general on sales Friday. But if the above tweet from Robert/TM is accurate, it sounds like they may sell out today. Who knows? Let's see what happens, and if they don't sell out, hopefully those presales will happen tomorrow. Good luck to us all!

Update: Doesn't look like those presales are happening now. Austin had all the details listed in their website, but now that has been removed. 

Verified Fan presale info

Been asked a couple of questions about the presale and here are some answers.

What time will we know today if we were selected?

From Ticketmaster: 

"The night before the sale – we’ll let you know if you’ve been invited to shop. The invitation process may vary from event to event, and invitations are based on demand and ticket availability.

The morning of the sale – if you were invited, you’ll receive a text message to the number you provided during registration. Your text will include your unique access code and a link to shop. Keep an eye out for this text and be careful that you don’t accidentally delete it.

Once the sale begins, use the link provided to get started. You’ll enter your access code exactly as it appears to shop for tickets."

What time does the presale start?

Venues are listing it for 10 am local time. So if that's right, the sales will roll out over 4 hours starting with the eastern time zone shows and ending with the Pacific time zone shows.

But venues don't always post accurate info. Wait until TM sends out the time before making any plans.

Do you know the prices for tickets?

Only what I've seen the venues post. Merriweather Post lists them ranging from $40 to $150. Tampa lists their lowest priced tickets at $21, Vancouver listed $25 as their lowest. Again, venues don't always have the most accurate info, but this should give you some idea.

Don't fall for the scams!

ALL THE 'SECONDARY TICKET MARKET' SITES SHOWING INSANELY PRICED CURE TICKETS ARE A CON - NOT ONE OF THESE SCAMMERS HAS A GENUINE TICKET FOR SALE - PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR IT - WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU GET ON THROUGH THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION CHANNEL - X

Thank you, Robert

AS OF 10TH MARCH, CURE TICKETS ARE NOT YET ON SALE. ANY TICKETS THAT ARE LISTED ON SECONDARY TICKET SITES ARE VERY LIKELY TO BE FAKE. IF ANY TICKETS ARE FOUND TO BE LEGITIMATE, WE WILL WORK WITH TICKETMASTER TO CANCEL THEM. ONWARDS.

— The Cure (@thecure) March 10, 2023

More good news about ticket pricing

Even better news? Looks like people will not be able to buy a $90 ticket and immediately turn around and sell it for $1,000 as a verified reseller on TM. Tickets are mobile only and non-transferable except at face value. Bravo, @RobertSmith! And thank you again. pic.twitter.com/YaHsjnqx4H

North American tour rumors

So here are the things I've been told, have heard, etc. about the tour. All are obviously just rumors unless they get announced officially. Will any of this be true? Should know very soon.

Since last year, have consistently heard it will start in mid/late May. 

Dates would be in May and June.

Venues/dates mentioned...2 nights at the Hollywood Bowl in late May, Red Rocks in Colorado, Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on June 24th.

Other cities mentioned... Toronto, Montreal.

Mexico would be included.

A mix of arenas and amphitheatres.

Twilight Sad opening the shows.

Some of this I have confidence in, some I don't know.

Again, have to stress that these are all just rumors going around. None of this has been officially confirmed. Hopefully not too much longer to wait for official news.

Update:

Some new rumors from @zippazoupa.

Tour starts in New Orleans (May 8th?)

Dallas is around May 10-13

Mexico is 3rd week of May

California is 4th week of May

May 29th-Portland,OR

May 30th-George,WA

June 1st-Vancouver,BC

June 21st & 22nd-NYC at MSG

June 25th-Columbia,MD

June 27th-Charlotte,NC

Update: 

"Grain of salt but supposedly The Cure tour is being announced tomorrow.

Start in New Orleans again on 5/8, traveling across the south and southwest. Hollywood Bowl on 5/24 and 5/25. Vancouver June 1st. Makes its way eastward and NYC will be June 21st and 22nd. Maryland on the 25th , Charlotte the 26th and ends in Miami again end of June.

Bunch of dates in between such as Denver, SLC, Portland, Phillly, Boston, Kansas City, Chicago etc."

Robert's remix of Pretty Boy

"I was surprised and delighted when Noel asked me to remix this gorgeous song, and I had a lot of fun slowing it down and spacing it out - Cure drummer Jason Cooper gave me a great vibey drum track to play along with- and the rest just phased into place under the starry sky of my distant moon..." - Robert Smith.
