    So if I choose the $75 one for both the lyric books I will just get whatever is out there instead?
  2. You’ll get both lyric books unless you email them asking for next years gift. I’m amazed at the amount of people that come on here or Facebook and ask ‘what do I do?’. To me it’s obvious. You contact u2.com explaining the situation. They usually get back saying you’ll get next years gift instead. You make sure you keep that email so that if you were to receive the previous years you can say I was told I would receive the next gift. In the case of the premium option you would be looking to get volume 2 plus next years gift.

    I thought if you resubscribe and you have been a loyal subscriber previously you get placed into the long term group? I stopped after 2020 until recently and got placed into the Ultra group...?

    I think people ask questions on here cause sometimes they don’t get so much as a “we’ll get back to you” from u2.com. It’s happened to me before

    The "long term group" is for anyone who actively subscribed before a certain date. That date changes for each tour.

    In 2017 and 2018, anyone who subscribed before Christmas Eve 2016 was placed in the "long term group". Why Christmas eve? That's when they first teased the 2017 tour. And there was such a short turn around before the 2018 tour they just kept it going.

    In 2019, anyone who subscribed before the Joshua Tree 2019 tour announcement was placed in the "long term group". Anyone who subscribed the day of the tour announcement or later was placed in the new subscriber group.

    For the Sphere shows, anyone who subscribed before the Saturday of Super Bowl weekend was placed in the "Long term group". The first tease of a tour was on the Sunday.

    All you have to do is make sure your account is active before a tour announcement is made usually to get into the "long term group". The problem is, no one ever knows exactly when that date is, or what they will use for a cut off. It's easiest to keep things active at all times, but if you do miss resubscribing, it's not the end of the world when it comes to the tour priority stuff.

    You will however, incur an extra $10 to renew if you let your subscription expire. Current prices for subscription is $50 to renew as an active subscriber, or $60 if you aren't an active subscriber.

    A few years back when I was in the same situation they would extend your membership for free until the new gift was announced. Then you would renew choosing the new gift option.

    Nowadays they tell you to just renew choosing the current years gift and email them asking for next year's gift when it's announced. However, knowing U2.com I doubt it will be that easy.

    Can I ask where this is taken from? Reason? They are telling subscribers who picked the 2023 deluxe edition that the Achtung Baby CD is out of print, and has been for months. They keep saying it's now in production, and subscribers will get notification when it's ready. But it's been almost a year and they still haven't started sending them. So if this is a recent promise I'd like to know...

    I just had my 30 day subscription remaining email come through and it still says this. Does anyone know if this is an error or are they going to pop in the AB CD too?

    Either way I'm going to hold them to it now it's in writing (I already have a copy lol).
  8. Isn’t it about time to announce this year’s gift? Hoping they get back to offering a live audio project.
  9. Every time someone posts on this thread my anticipation goes up....but yeah announce V - U2 soundtrack already.
  10. 1st week in February is the norm
