Just days after
Pollstar ran a story documenting an apparently unauthorized ticket giveaway by the web site FreeU2tickets.com, the site is no longer visible on the web (although images can be seen in
Google's cache archives).
Prior to the Pollstar article, FreeU2tickets.com issued a
press release claiming that fans could "get two free U2 tickets and help raise $1 million dollars for their favorite charities" by taking "three steps" to "participate in some of our advertisers' offers."
FreeU2tickets.com now directs visitors to My Reward Choices.com where there is no mention of any U2 tickets. Bono's "
One" campaign, however, remains on the list of charities.
The U2 tour is the hottest tour in the world right now with virtually every ticket sold out.
