http://www.secctickets.com/SECSeatingPlans.aspx

[Jenjie]

that's alright then :D didn't think to check for that :laugh3:

[Black Rose]

Damn, it's my birthday and they are playing at the other end of the country :(

[Jenjie]

birthday pressie? if you book train tickets now shouldn't cost you more than £10-20return :D

[Black Rose]

But it would be no fun going on my own.

And come December I have no idea if I will still be working for the company I am working for at the moment as the senior managers are all changing around.

[Jenjie]

yuck :\ thats no fun at all

[Black Rose]

Changing stuff just for the hell of changing stuff, to try and stamp their name over everything, and that is just the site managers.

People are getting worried at what the new GSM (main boss in this area) will be like

[dave smith]

Just got this number from a person who works for EMI there are
doing a limited pre-sale of tickets for the gigs.
I didn't believe it at first, just got myself 2 tickets for glasgow!!!
Just send your name and address via text to this number
0773 77 55 66 1

Good luck see you there,,,,,,

[puddlestinker]

Hi i am a newbie.... well not really not been on for quite a while and forgotten my log in and had to re-register!

Did anyone try the text number from Dave Smith?

:\

[Neon-Symmetry]

I wouldn't try it.

[Glossal Fragster]

anyone else trying for glasgow tickets?

[fudge]

^^ did you get a ticket?

I am (as we say) PURE RAGING that it's seats only :laugh3: I eventually managed to get 2 tickets thanks to my lovely friend phoning the SECC. I was logged on to ticketmaster well before 9.30 ready to go and couldnt get 2 bloody seats together! There's something wrong there. Ticketmaster always fuck up with coldplay tickets!

[fudge]

it must have. I was trying it for work so I needed to be careful no one saw me but pretty much straight away, first time it searched it said it couldn't find the tickets I'd requested when I put in 2 tickets and best available! Wasn't a happy bunny. Where abouts are your seats?

[Glossal Fragster]

on the floor level ...row A....section BKDD (i dont understand what it means) :D
where are the ones u got? or did u say ur mate phoned?

[fudge]

[Glossal Fragster]

Chaos for Coldplay fans as ticket blunder threatens to leave hundreds locked out of Scots gig

HUNDREDS of Coldplay fans will be locked out of their Scottish concerts after a massive ticket mix-up.

Ticketmaster have recalled a batch of 3200 briefs after they were printed on the wrong paper. The gaffe means anyone who bought the tickets from secondary sources, such as eBay, will be denied entry to the concert.

It is estimated that tickets originating from touts and fans who decided to sell them could number more than 800 for the two gigs on December 5 and 6.

Last night, Ticketmaster admitted only fans whose email addresses were registered at the time of sale would be issued with new tickets.

A spokesman said: "It is true that we have announced a recall of tickets, which should be no problem for most fans as there is a long time to go before the concert.

"If people decide to buy tickets from sources such as eBay, it is their own business, but it is something we do not recommend.

"People who buy from other sources lose the rights that other fans are covered by, given that their emails are not registered with us.

"They will therefore not be able to get the replacement tickets sent to them unless they contact the original purchaser and replace the tickets through them."

Despite the chaos, scores of tickets to the gig were selling on eBay yesterday, with some fetching £150 for tickets whose face value is £60.

Buyers had no way of knowing if the tickets will be void by the time of the concert. One disgruntled fan who emailed the Razz said: "Ticketmaster told me the gig will be empty, as most the tickets are bought from auction sites.

"Hundreds will be turned away. This is the biggest gig in Scotland, but only people with registered email addresses will know they have faulty tickets.

"Coldplay will be going nuts when they see the venue empty, as they will not allow anyone in with the tickets they botched up. This is a disgrace by Ticketmaster."

On the Ticketmaster website, a notice advises: "If you have received an email from Ticket master regarding a ticket recall for the Coldplay events at the SECC in Glasgow on December 5 and 6, we can confirm this email is legitimate and would ask you to follow instructions.

"Only customers affected by this issue have been contacted."

The news comes after it emerged that Ticketmaster also had £90,000 worth of tickets and passes for Live at: Loch Lomond and DT Tiesto's Manchester set go missing.

What's more surprising is that Ticketmaster are sending out tickets for big concerts in July when the concerts ain't until December.

Talk about playing into the hands of the dirty touts (however if rumours are to be believed, a limited number of standing tickets will be released soon for some shows quietly)

[Glossal Fragster]

anyone had their tickets sent back yet(well,the re-prints)?

ticketmaster definately got the ones we sent back...made sure of it! :D

[Jenjie]

The date of this gig has now moved to 9th December. See the Uk tour changes thread at the top of the Coldplay Live section

Rock photographer Peter Hill shares this moment from Coldplay’s recent show in Liverpool…

I’m out on the Coldplay Arena Tour right now. It’s fucking amazing and their show every night is incredible.

For now just a quick snap that i took of chris in Liverpool at the weekend… the first time I’ve tried to shoot the paper butterflies so not sure if I’ve got the lighting exactly as I want it but, I might give it another go tonight!

Coming to you right now from the dressing room of glasgow SECC. We played here on Saturday for the 1st night and the crowd was nuts so looking forward to the show later on!

Things continue to go well and Eugene Francis Jnr and the Juniors continue to find love in all corners of the UK.

The setlist was exactly the same as Saturday....thought they might have played even one different song...but no. It was still amazing though. I don't think the atmosphere was as good as Saturday. I think that's mainly because it's a school night, people aren't drinking. Plus I was fairly leathered on Saturday so I was LOVING IT :laugh3: Good times! :D Bring on Hampden!

[Texasluvsjonny]

I know this won't make a lot of people happy but I gotta admit I was really disappointed with last night's gig. That was the 5th time I've seen Coldplay and was the worst by a country mile. The word that my boyfriend (who's a bigger fan than me) used when we left was "pantomime". I wish they would concentrate on singing the songs instead of all the other stuff they seem to fill their shows with these days. I felt like they didn't really play an awful lot of songs. And the songs they did play, especially the older tracks, they didn't do justice to. What the f happened to Politik. One of my fave live tracks ever, and last night's version was horrendous. They played prob about 95 mins, but if you took out all the constant yakking and hideous Take That covers (why?) it probably just scraped in at 1hr 15mins. Was so gutted cos I'd been gagging for this gig for ages. Had originally got fri tix cos I thought I'd be desperate to go back for the Sat gig. Hmm, think that's put me off going back unless they reign themselves in (yes I'm talking to you Chris) and get back to the music. I'd been watching the Live 2003 DVD to get me in the mood, and that gig last night was nothing in comparison. Sorry, I know a lot of people won't agree. But it's the first gig I've gone to in yonks and felt cheated. Makes me feel ok now that I can't afford Hampden tix, doubt I'll be missing much based on that performance. Will's got a lovely voice but, one of the highlights of the night. :\

[busybeeburns]

I’m sitting in the same little room as I was a few days ago, writing another blog, about another Coldplay show. We have had some adventures on this tour, playing 3 different countries in 3 days.. it’s not quite the same adventure when you return to the same city, but it was another great show in Glasgow. Oxfam’s brilliant bunch of volunteers, between them, got 1526 Health and Education For All pledges, to add to the thousands of others on the Coldplay tour.

Another noisy crowd greeted the band tonight. Needing little encouragement to sing every word and clap to the beats (even if they weren’t always in time with the band). Chris Martin had to tell everyone to stop clapping at the start of ‘The Hardest Part’ (which he dedicated to his haircut), as he couldn’t figure out the timing. He got it in the end, and the clapping continued anyway.

1 in 5 people at the show tonight, made the pledge. They took a few moments to chat to one of our campaigners and put their name down. To support more children having the chance to go to school. To take action to put pressure on governments to provide affordable healthcare for all.

After they were finished doing that, they went to watch the Coldplay show. Stamped their feet, clapped their hands, chanted chords and sung words. It’s a great crowd here, and I won’t forget it in a hurry. I’m sure the band won’t either. We head South tonight. Back to England. Next stop Manchester. Two nights. Two shows. 40 Oxfam volunteers ready and waiting. Plus, another 28′000 or so Coldplay fans..

Hi there my first post in here!
a nice forum...
Yesterday was my 1st concert for The viva la vida tour, and my second concert for coldplay (1st time in france during x&y)

So good to see them again!

I don't from where to begin, they were f* good.

Highlights: all these balloons during yellow? it reminded me 3 years ago...
or the encore with Politik?
I was jumping and dancing alone in the very first row, and a guard came and warned me, i'd been asked to go and sit in my place!! :D

I can't remember when was my favorite moment, there were so many...

Should I now go to London...?

PS: i managed to pick up a setlist, but it was not one of those in the stage, a guard gave me one, and it appears that there are some mistakes on it.... :veryangry2: i couldn't wait more, i had to run to catch the last bus to Edinburgh...

[CookyMnstr]

Fudge....I think I LOVE YOU!!!! So many good close pics of Will :shocked2::D

I had to leave during the encore to make sure i caught the last train to edinburgh :(
i heard the scientist, the mini take that cover and part of Life in technicolour 2...did i miss any more songs?

[ulsaa_23]

Not really actually, after LITii they left the stage and as an outro we could hear The Escapist.
And then it was all SECC trying to get out of the venue, it was already 11!
We had to run with my friend from the venue until the train station to catch the train until Central station, and then ran again until the coach station. We arrived just 1minute before the bus left!
But that was a great nite!

In the setlist i picked up there is a song they didn't play (?) which is "Lips like Sugar", what is it?
I hated yesterday when we were not even allowed to ask to the technicians to have a setlist from the stage . It was more like ok now just get out!!

[Glossal Fragster]

no u only missed those two.hehe the scientist was amazing and the new song was great song to finish it off.;)

Phew! :lol: For "the scientist" i just walked down to front...no-one seemed to care!..

I know this won't make a lot of people happy but I gotta admit I was really disappointed with last night's gig. That was the 5th time I've seen Coldplay and was the worst by a country mile. The word that my boyfriend (who's a bigger fan than me) used when we left was "pantomime". I wish they would concentrate on singing the songs instead of all the other stuff they seem to fill their shows with these days. I felt like they didn't really play an awful lot of songs. And the songs they did play, especially the older tracks, they didn't do justice to. What the f happened to Politik. One of my fave live tracks ever, and last night's version was horrendous. They played prob about 95 mins, but if you took out all the constant yakking and hideous Take That covers (why?) it probably just scraped in at 1hr 15mins. Was so gutted cos I'd been gagging for this gig for ages. Had originally got fri tix cos I thought I'd be desperate to go back for the Sat gig. Hmm, think that's put me off going back unless they reign themselves in (yes I'm talking to you Chris) and get back to the music. I'd been watching the Live 2003 DVD to get me in the mood, and that gig last night was nothing in comparison. Sorry, I know a lot of people won't agree. But it's the first gig I've gone to in yonks and felt cheated. Makes me feel ok now that I can't afford Hampden tix, doubt I'll be missing much based on that performance. Will's got a lovely voice but, one of the highlights of the night. :\


Can only compare with the show I seen on Saturday and don't agree with you but I can totally see where you're coming from. Have to say the Saturday show is up there in my top 3 gigs I've been to!

[fudge]

I can see where you're coming from too. Don't really know what you mean re. Politik - I was thinking more GPASUYF....Politik sounded great to me. As for the chatting...that's just Chris! That's what he does. Sorry you didn't enjoy it though.

so are you up for the x factor audition then? :rolleyes:

Why did you get there so early?! :laugh3:

I think collectively we should go for X Factor....I may ruin our chances however!

[Glossal Fragster]

Why did you get there so early?! :laugh3:

I think collectively we should go for X Factor....I may ruin our chances however!

:lol: well the first reason was because even though i live in edinburgh i have never actually been to glasgow before so i wanted a wee look about beforehand (wasnt a long look about :P)
and two i am very bad with times :laugh3:

well my mates and parents always want me to audition for the x factor...but thats not my musical scene. :rolleyes:

[fudge]

you've never been to glasgow?! I live in Edinburgh too. Used to live in Glasgow though.

Here's another vid....i'm slowly uploading!

Oh James, I also got to listen to their soundcheck in Sheffield as I got to the Arena at the ridiculous time of 3:00pm... it was worth it though... in the end I heard Chris singing cemeteries twice, one during soundcheck and one during the concert!!!
:nice:

awwwww!

I fell asleep lol
so Here's the vid! and I'm off to bed! :D

auch my neck!!!! :lol:

but is worth it for sweet little Will........ he's such a cutie :nice: :heart:

[Jenjie]

In the setlist i picked up there is a song they didn't play (?) which is "Lips like Sugar", what is it?


Its an Echo & The Bunnymen cover which they played in Liverpool on the 7th dec

Fudge, they are amaaaaaaazing photos :D

My "Yellow" Video :D

YouTube - Coldplay - Live at The SECC (9/12/08)

It's weird but on recording it looks like i had a much worse view than i actually did :lol:

Anyway would people want to see "Politik" or solo chris "The Scientist" next? :D (making it interactive!)

[chasingamy]

I can see where you're coming from too. Don't really know what you mean re. Politik - I was thinking more GPASUYF....Politik sounded great to me. As for the chatting...that's just Chris! That's what he does. Sorry you didn't enjoy it though.

Yeah I always loved the interaction he had with the crowd but last night just seemed really self indulgent. You wouldn't mind if when the chatting was over they really gave amazing performances but last night they didn't. I travelled to Newcastle to see them in 2005 and came away euphoric cos I loved it so much. But last night I just couldn't get into it. Even the setlist seemed strange The god awful dance versions of GPASUYF and Talk. And singing The Hardest Part. Talk and Hardest Part are songs that I could really care less about hearing live. What about Trouble, Daylight or Shiver thrown in? That would have really made the gig special. Or even a B side for the long term fans. Green Eyes was beautiful, and the gig would have been 100 times better for it. The new songs sounded good, and you can tell they're really into playing them live. But one thing I really noticed last night, how amazing is Johnny Buckland!! He is up there with the best guitarists around. I thought the stage set up was fantastic, but I'd have watched them play on a bare stage if the performance had been better. And 90 (probably more like 75) mins, come on lads, you've got 4 albums and your ticket prices are soaring. Did anyone like the all seated gigs? Maybe that didn't help, if I'd been down in the pit jumping about maybe I'd have a different take on things. Sorry if it sounds really negative, no-ones more gutted than me that I didn't enjoy it. :embarassed:

nothing wrong with being negative if you back your statements up, which you have, and if you're talking about a show which you have physically attended, which you also have :)

No I totally get what you're saying and I do agree. I'd really like it if they threw in a wild card (not Back for Good! :laugh3:). I was really pleased they played Green Eyes. I don't know why they play the Hardest Part at all, it's one of their worst songs! I was disappointed with GPASUYF. It's one of my favs and I really don't think they do it justice with that version. However I do understand they want to try and mix things up a bit with older songs. I was originally REALLY pissed off that it was a seated tour. But, when I went on Saturday I have to say that I had THE best time. I ran down the front at the end so was there for Politik, Lovers in Japan, DAAHF and the scientist. The atmosphere was fantastic, the crowd was just great.

:lol:



oh my LORD Fudg! your vids are so amazing!!! goshhhhh and great quality!

who does chris keep hugging though?!

thanks :D

It's a guy called Billy Sloan, a journalist. Chris dedicated Death Will Never Conquer to him for being so good to them over the years.

[Strawberry Swinger]

90 mins is ridiculous. and yes the tickets ARE soaring... good show but...fame a bit hit the head? i think so.

[Strawberry Swinger]

The Hardest Part sounds AMAZING live. And the setlist is not something we can nag about, cause we are all different. If I were to choose I'd kick of Chinese Sleep Chant and Speed Of Sound. But it's not up to me,it's up to the band. The setlist is up to them, but the show should really be longer.

Cheers mate!

Did they actually play it??
