Hello, I'm in South Carolina!!

I'm going to purchase 2 tickets on the 14th as low as I can get them, and money is no option even though my bank account is below $300!!

Will someone please explain the presale code? What are its advantages? And what are you guaranteed?

Thanks guys. I'm so hyped for this show. Damn, Novmeber is so far away. I want to go to the one in Orlando too.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[winterfox]

Planning on getting tickets for the show on June 14th. The general method being logging onto Ticketmaster 10:00AM sharp. Although from what I’m reading on the forum this hasn’t been all that useful when it comes to getting good seats. One can always hope for the best though I suppose.

This is my first time in the Philips Arena, or seeing Coldplay for that matter. Anybody know much about the arena? The sound quality?

[greeneyes1207]

I've been to many concerts at the phillips arena, and saw coldplay there 3 years ago. They sounded SO awesome there, sound isn't an issue. When I got tickets to that show I went to publix at 10 the day they came out because they are a ticketmaster dealer or whatever, just go to a place and you can talk to the people and they'll help you find good seats at a price you want

Publix? The grocery store?

I really want to find good seats for this show.

[greeneyes1207]

Yeah. I think you can get tickets at most grocery stores. Just check around beforehand I guess.

[gmalool]

how come live nation or ticketmaster still doesnt have this show listed?

[gibbsca]

how come live nation or ticketmaster still doesnt have this show listed?

I have been wondering that too. It's still listed, but says something like more information to follow. Making me nervous!

[toothsayer]

Ok. So... I'm very very confused/worried/freaked/etc about this.

Coldplay.com says the tickets go on sale the 14th of June.

Ticketmaster says they go on sale the 21st of June with a Pre sale the 19th.

Then, in the member's page on Best Buys Reward site it says Pre sale is the 12th of June.

What. The. Fuck?

Which is the REAL Pre sale?

[Ebs757]

welcome to the club

[toothsayer]

It's scaring me very much. I need to know which day to request off to make sure I can get them.

[gmalool]

This is crazy. Why are they doing this to us? Coldplay.com needs to keep up or do something. It's scaring me very much as well.

[davidatfsu]

Atlanta presale code went up yesterday evening. Presale is tomorrow. Let's see what happens.

[CP2003]

Can anyone share their presale code for Atlanta? Thanks.

[toothsayer]

I post a question and it get's deleted. So let me try again. Some people are saying the pre-sale codes are all different. And each person that get's one, can buy up to a certain amount of tickets before it can't be used ever again.

But other pre-sale codes are one code that everyone uses. So which is it?

A code that is different for every person? Or one big code?

[prf1]

Unique codes for each person, can only be used once

[greeneyes1207]

woot, tomorrow at 10!!!

[larry4mf]

Atlanta presale password? does anybody know what it is?

[larry4mf]

does anyone know? i did not receive an email about this and I can't find it anywhere!

[halokiti]

It's the Best Buy presale code, but the tickets are all gone anyways. Good Luck in the general sale.

[davidatfsu]

It's the Best Buy presale code, but the tickets are all gone anyways. Good Luck in the general sale.

Man, I totally forgot about it. I just checked at 10:22 EST and they were gone. What kind of seats were available? Anything on the floor?

I got section 4 on the floor on the center aisle!!!

[gibbsca]

I got section 4 on the floor on the center aisle!!!


I had section 4 on the floor this morning, panicked thinking maybe that was too far back or we'd be behind the sound dock, so I hit back on my browser to check concert reviews for Phillips Arena, then couldn't get back in to get tickets!?!?! Had a staff meeting at work which lasted an hour, came back, and got

section 112, row R, seats 4-3

Not as great as section 4 on the floor, but they'll be good seats, and much better than the one's we had in Houston in '06, which where nose bleed

[greeneyes1207]

they had all seats in the 300's!

My first pull was also a different pair in Section 4, also panicked, then got 115 and wasn't happy either, then for about 5 minutes continued to get 300s and really panicked and finally got a different pair in 4 that I took.

[The Quiet One]

Same thing happend to me. Except the tickets I ultimately got was in section 309. I'm gonna try to get better tickets saturday. Hopefully I'll be able to get my monet back on the old tickets.

[danielgt500]

Does anyone know the camera policy for this concert? Philips Arena says "no professional cameras", ticketmaster says "no cameras." I'd really like to take my little digital point-and-shoot...

[greeneyes1207]

they always say no cameras..just hide them really well, and you'll be fine.
the last concert here they said no cameras and then Coldplay were like 'get your cameras ready'

[Mariposa]

got my tickets today through presale and it took 2 freaking hours.

i'm close but not as close as last time. i was front row for X&Y.

oh, and as far as cameras, i've seen them a few times and brought a sony cybershot which i had my husband hide in his pants.

i plan on doing the same.

[davidatfsu]

I'm sure you all are bigger fans than I, but I was disgusted by the ticket prices. All I was offered was in the 300s and the tickets came out to about $100 a piece. Totally ridiculous for seats that high up. To be fair to Coldplay, Ticketmaster /does/ add about $20 to the price. But still, that is a lot of money for nosebleeds.

[ecarlson8]

why would you even bother buying presale nosebleeds.. you can get those on the saturday onsale date. should at least of waited tell sat to see what you pull

[davidatfsu]

Oh, don't worry, I didn't buy them.

[gmalool]

I was on right at 10. did the perfect refresh rigth at 10. pasted the code and then security code. got section 4. very pleased. Took them right on the spot. To the others that got section 4, what row? Mine is K. Row ten bitches. I wish tixmaster released sections 1,2, and 3

[egreenwald]

I got Sec 4, Row D from BestBuy.

Anyone get floor from Ticketmaster?

[greeneyes1207]

ugh! ticketmaster & philips arena suck!!
in 2005 I paid like $60 for seats very close. Today I paid $90 for seats further away.
what the hell???
AND, I went to publix and they just ask how many tickets you're getting and give you whatever, for whatever price they want.
At least I have tickets..

[The Quiet One]

Good news. I ended up getting section 117 seats today. A lot better tickets than the ones I got through the pre-sale. Plus, I'll get to see all of the stage.

[winterfox]

Noon onwards and I’m only pulling 200s and 300s. Hope some better seats will show up.

Edit: None yet, thats for sure.

[gmalool]

anyone get sections 1, 2, or 3

[ecarlson8]

anyone get sections 1, 2, or 3

yet to see many of those.. even on ebay

[winterfox]

So is ticketmaster holding anything back, or are they really sold out to the balcony? Been waiting a solid day for anything half decent to open up.

[Jsm0068]

The reason none of the sec 1,2, or 3 are showing up is because ticketbastard has those for the "premium auction" where people bid on them. Last I checked, they were up to $270 a piece. Complete and total rip off by ticketmaster. I still am pissed off how I went up to Publix right before noon yesterday, and right at noon pulled sec 9, but then thought that maybe I could get better seats, and when the lady refreshed the computer, she pulled sec 304 row J and said, "that's the best that is available. They will probably be sold out if I try to pull any more." There was a line forming behind me, so I just went a head and bought them for the complete rip off price of $188.50 for 2. And when I got home and checked ticketmaster again, there were still seats available in the 200's, but because the first tickets I bought were so expensive, I didn't have enough money left over to buy the better seats.
Oh well, at least I got tickets, and saved $40 over the more expensive ones. Enough of my rant.

I have family in Lawreanceville. but sorry about your tickets

[winterfox]

Everything appears to be sold out. Won't be going to the concert at all if nothing opens up. :confused:
Ticketmaster is exhausting to work with.

[Jsm0068]

That's cool, maybe I know them, haha

Anyways, for anyone who wants to see what the view is from their seats in 3D, go to

https://www.seats3d.com/nhl/atlanta_thrashers/

my seats REALLY suck :(

[rsatmans]

I just picked up 2 tickets on the floor 9 row D. I think with the way the stage is these will be pretty good seats.

[holly150]

Hey if anyone knows where I can get tickets for a reasonable price please let me know!! I want to go to this show and I didnt know they were on sale already please help!
thank you

[Pjames32]

Anyone know if there are still tickets available for this show? And if so, where to get them.. Please!

Edit: Nevermind, found some!

[gmalool]

im hyped

[MissBurlesque]

Hey guys,

so, I got tickets for this date and I can't use them now.. I have to go to north carolina that day.. sighhh :(

however, i want someone to have them so at least someone else gets to see them.. so i'm selling them...

I've got them listed on StubHub and TicketsNow.

I have all the info written out on this post: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/tix/815316529.html

So you can see all the details.. the two seats are really good
Section 112 row K
and there's a Parking pass included :dozey: cool, right?

Please let me know if you are interested. I really hope someone takes advantage of these seats.. i'm going to be so jealous that I can't be there :\

Thanks for your time,

XoXo
Miss Nikki :kiss:

[greeneyes1207]

Hey, so since I'm guessing Coldplay is staying in a hotel in atlanta from november 5-11 ( they said somewhere they get a hotel in one place and fly in and out for a while), where do you all think would be great places to try and see them out and about and possibly meet for a picture and autograph?

Probably they're staying at the Westin, and go to whole foods, or other kinds of healthy stores, and Borders in buckhead...my mom's friend met chris there in 2005 before the concert and he bought her a cd he thought she should listen to..

thats awesome!!!!

but i would say the omni at centenial park considering its right next to phillips

[frostbitepanda]

They're probably staying at the Four Seasons actually. That's where they stayed (For about two months... yikes) last tour. I'd say hang out around the Little Five Points area... Peachtree/Midtown. Maybe Virginia Highlands. If Tower hadn't been shut down, I would definitely suggest that as well.

In other news, I got awesome seats for this show and can hardly wait! Section 1, Row P

[xxkishaxx]

I bought a ticket to the show on the 5th in Section 1, Row N. Problem is, some important things have come up and I won't be able to make it. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to trade the 11th for the 5th. It would be greaatly appreciated!

did you find anyone to trade with yet? if not, I know some people who didn't get tickets at all, and would probably be willing to buy them from you.

I didn't find anyone to trade with sadly, but I'm going to able to make it. :) For the people who didn't get tickets, there are still tickets for sale on Ticketmaster, I checked this morning and they were selling them in section 118 which is the first section next to the stage.

[llerretj]

I've got 4 tickets for the November 5th show available for below face value ($100 each). Will ship overnight for free or deliver at venue!! Section 213 Row L (close to stage on Jonny's side). Please PM if you are interested.

[greeneyes1207]

Is anyone going to do the signs that people have been doing at other concerts?
USA Still Loves Coldplay?

[greeneyes1207]

2 days!! and they're changing the setlist just in time!!

[Tnspieler1012]

^how'd they change the setlist?

[greeneyes1207]

roadie #42 blogged about it today:
http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=195

[Tnspieler1012]

Lol, I check the main page so rarely nowadays, but as soon as I replied I checked and read the article, sorry 'bout dat. This makes things very exciting now. Could this be the day bigger stronger get's a new layer of varnish? :D

[greeneyes1207]

I hope they play white shadows, square one, trouble, or everything's not lost, or maybe even some b-sides or the new stuff from prospekt's march. or some songs they haven't played live as much.

[Tnspieler1012]

They definitely need more parachutes material, it's kind of unfair having the first 5 tracks off of AROBTTH vs. only Yellow at the very end.

[photo_bug99]

EEEEEEH i cant wait to see the video!!!!

[busybeeburns]

Review from WikiColdplay:

Great show as always. Seemed that not only the band but the ATL crowd was much more energetic than last Wednesdays show. Green Eyes was a nice little touch and thanks to the very loyal Atl fans. No surprise guests. Oh well. No complaints here. Does anyone else agree that Politik may be the best live song of all time? Nighty night.

[thanks Politikal 1.]

[Mimixxx]

Green Eyes! :D

[Twisted mind]

... and then, when Chris finally sang Grenn eyes, all the anxious members of the Chris and Jonny thread exploded...




















































YAY!!! :dance::dance::dance:

[melanieau]

I'm glad they played Green Eyes...however I do not believe this is the setlist shake up that R#42 was referring to....we shall have to wait and see.

The show was incredible last night. I seriously don't know how they have that much energy from night to night. But my girlfriend got some video of Green Eyes, hopefully I can get it up on here for you guys soon.

A truly amazing show. I was right in front of the pop-up stage (B Stage?). The energy never let up. Chris sounded amazing and the songs have been polished to perfection. Politik, Green Eyes, Lovers In Japan, and 42 were definite highlights for me. I can't even form an actual description. The crowd was in top-form as well.

Green Eyes :D

Thanks Mich!!!

[gmalool]

The show was absolutley amazing. My third show this week and the second time in Atlanta. This was definatly the best out of the three!!! Chris was so powerful on the piano. We were right next to the B stage where they played GPASOYF, Talk, and GREEN EYES which was an amzing surpise because its me and my girlfriend's song. We mananged to grab one of the setlists after the show after 5 minutes of yelling matt and millers name even though they were gone. But some really nice tech guy that i have never seen ended up giving us one. My girlfriend stuffed her purse with like a 100 of the butterflies!! But here are some pictures: :D

Last night I went to Coldplay, here in Atlanta. It was incredible. It was better than the last time I saw them in 2006. I love big events. I love how people from all over Atlanta and the Southeast came into Phillips expecting something amazing to happen. The anticipation in the room was ridiculous. I am blown away by how melody and chords move people. For a few hours last night the crowd was alive. People were singing every word of every song, and they were on their feet the whole time. Some people were even dancing. I am so intrigued by what moves people to this point. Why do we expect 4 guys from England to do something so great? How does the production engage all of our senses? This is why I love music. I love how it brings people together. Different people who don’t know anything about each other, but we know we like Coldplay. At the end of the show, people started singing the “whoa-oa” part of “Viva la Vida” calling them back for an encore. It was such a cool show.

For our wedding gift to each other, Trisha and I bought tickets to see Coldplay in Atlanta.

Tonight was the night.

It was a pretty incredible concert. The band Sleeper Car opened for them from 7:30 - 8:05.
Then at 8:45, Chris, Jonny, Will, and Guy took the stage...and the audience by storm.

There were lights, lasers, big inflatable balls full of video, rock ballads, pianos, butterflies, guitars, scarves, love ballads, giant video screens and everything in between.
They are entertainers...and they lived up to that. They used the entire stage...they even came out and did a few songs on an extended stage right in front of our seats (Section 4, Row 3). Before the night was through, they even did a song back in the back of the arena. I loved it.

On one of the songs, blowers right above us shot paper butterflies all over the crowd.

They really did captivate the audience from start to finish. It was a constant barrage of music that you couldn't help but sing along with...Viva la Vida, Fix You, The Scientist, Clocks, Speed of Sound, Cemeteries of London, Lost...I could go on. Before I know it, I look down and it is 10 till 10 and I know our time is coming to a close.

When they were through, the proverbial cheer for the encore began. It started with clapping and slowly developed into a concise, "Yell-O, Yell-O, Yell-O"...

They came back out...and the encore...Yellow, was performed.

We had an incredible night. We got to hang out with Brad and Cat and rock out to Coldplay.

[codlbeliever47]

Amazing show last night again from the most endearing and best act in music. I was sitting 8th row on the floor in the middle. Somehow the shows keep getting better and better. I also saw them in New York this year and the Atlanta show last week. Yesterday though is my favorite show to date. The energy that comes with a Coldplay show is just unspeakable. As soon as Viva la Vida came on, Philips just went crazy. The beat from the big drum that Will plays just reverberates inside of you and just makes you smile. Chris was also as endearing as ever and just makes you feel like he's playing an extra special show just for you.

I also sat next to 2 girls that went to the sound check and said that they played Glass of Water, Life in Technicolor 2, and Prospekts March. Cant wait for the EP to come out!!!

I got some pictures on my flicker (http://www.flickr.com/photos/coldbeliever47/) page from this weeks and last week's show. Enjoy!!

I feel was one of the better shows I attended, in terms of quality.

Great evening in the Heart of Dixie!

[busybeeburns]

“We have, as of yet on this tour, been to England. But we’ve been to Atlanta twice.”

While it’s debatable whether Coldplay is the world’s biggest band, it is undeniable that they dominate both England and the UK in popularity. So for Chris Martin, the band’s star lead, to compare their home with Atlanta, Georgia speaks volumes to their growth.

The band claims that it was a 2000 performance at The Tabernacle in downtown Atlanta that gave them their breakout performance in the States and helped launch their success worldwide. Performing to 20,000 people in the Philips Arena on Nov. 11 symbolized their continued success. As Coldplay took the stage, the recorded song slowly rose in volume over the speakers, and the live performance took over as the climax shifted it into high gear, with white lights absorbingly flashing from every angle and the band in full view.

“Violet Hill,” the first single from the latest album, followed fluidly with the same exciting energy, not giving the crowd, which surprisingly ranged from young to old, time to think. In typical form, Chris Martin exuded the most energy, dancing repeatedly from both ends of the stage that extended onto ramps that fed into the crowd from the stage’s left and right ends. Even when the sound equipment was loud and brash, and a bit heavy with bass, the crowd vocally supported Martin so much that it at times was overwhelming, giving the concert a hymnal feel.

Favorites from “A Rush of Blood to the Head,” “X/Y” and even their first LP “Parachutes” each gave off their own look and feel through specific uses of color and lighting. A large projected screen behind the band would alter and change as the concert advanced, playing videos and showing specific artwork for each track. After “Strawberry Swing,” which echoed visions of pink throughout the venue, the band shifted to a small, hidden stage near the middle of the floor seats. Shaped like a box, with illuminated panels as the floor, the band crowded around an old piano and played a techno version of “God Put a Smile Upon Your Face.”

“Talk” followed with the same electronic feel, also using a more intimate approach in lighting, and a less focused sound. Afterward, guitarist Jonny Buckland, drummer Will Champion, and bassist Guy Berryman fled back to the dark main stage and left Chris Martin alone, spotlighted on piano. Two other singles followed on the main stage, “Viva La Vida” and “Lost!” with equal excitement as before but with Champion out front banging simply away on timpani with large mallets right behind Martin. Calling out to the audience in the back of the auditorium, the band headed for the balcony where another set of instruments awaited. There they played acoustic renditions of “The Scientist” and “Death Will Never Conquer” from the rafters, and fans ran from all directions to crowd around. The band then took a pause to go backstage, and the crowd reacted expectantly, calling for their return with chants of “Coldplay, Coldplay, Coldplay!”

Their return brought the same reaction and the kinetic “Politik” followed with strobe lights aligning the front and back of the main stage. Martin shouted “Ah yeah!” and the crowd clapped in rhythm with the persistent beat of the song. But even after almost two exhausting hours of a vibrant performance, the final encore was perhaps the defining moment of the night. With a traditionally lit stage, the band huddled together at the center, seemingly discussing the following song. Out of nowhere, though, Martin ran out of the group, jumped in the air, guitar in hand, and as his feet hit the stage, the lights burst into bright yellow and the band rocked their very first single from June 2000, “Yellow.”

As the concert died, everyone in attendance sang the last notes, and the band then thanked everyone for supporting them and giving them “the best job on Earth.”

If being a member of Coldplay is the best job, then watching them perform live has to be a close second.
