but i'll be there for this,i've spoken with my hubby and he also is very impressed with this.:)

so keeping the signs again this time?????

we should definatly do it agian this time we should have the sign and explain to everybody to hold them up after the show and before the encore

[professa95]

will tickets go on sale at exactly midnight on august 18? IS IT TOO LATE FOR A PRESALE?

[musicman1990]

They go on sale at 10 AM. And I heard nothing about a presale. Is there one?


Dave

[professa95]

its probably too late

[musicman1990]

Where did this rumor of a pre-sale come from? I haven't seen anything about it anywhere. I don't think there is one, don't worry.



Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

OH MY GOD.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.

I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M DEFINITLEY GOING. :dance: :dance: :dance:!!!!!

[dotty biscotti]

AND Duffy is opening!

[musicman1990]

I am SO siked about Duffy!

I'll be in college up at Connecticut (Univ. of New Haven), but since it's a Saturday I can come home for the weekend. Any other day, and I could'nt've come! It's MEANT TO BE!



Dave

[The Joker]

I finally have a chance for good seats!!!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

does anyone know what the maximum price is for seats? like, what would like front row be? i heard 97.50 but that's too good to be true. :D

[The Joker]

thats what it was last time i believe

[KissesBirds]

does anyone know what the maximum price is for seats? like, what would like front row be? i heard 97.50 but that's too good to be true. :D


They havent been selling rows 1 through 5. They save them and give them to real fans in nosebleed sections. You can bid on row 6 and back on ticketmaster auctions, but you may pay anywhere from $150 to $320 or more per ticket. Unless you get lucky and get floor when they go on sale from ticketmaster.

no they save the tickets for the day of the concert to stop scalpers

[The Joker]

So when they sell them online, whats the best you could probably get?

[professa95]

it usally depends on the venue and how many they want to hold

[The Joker]

So even if i am one of the first people to get online to get the tickets, im not guranteed floor seats?

[musicman1990]

I got floor seats that way last time...I was just on the computer right away.



Dave

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i have to decide in the next week whether or not to go to this. i want to like NO other, but i'm a bit lower on cash than usual (europe does that to you), i'm seeing them the weekend before in NJ, and i'd need to figure out how to get there (i go to college near harrisburg) and everything...hmm. i really think i will end up doing this, though. especially if i can somehow get even better seats then i have in NJ (which isn't hard to do).

:dance:

[Starlight]

WHAT THE HELL?!

Oh man...I REALLY need to go to this! Fuck!!!!

Now how can I get the parentals to let me go once again......:worried:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^ good luck annie!! :P

last time i got my tickets i got halfway through the floor when i got online at 10:20. so i'm just going to get online RIGHT at 10 now and hopefully get the best possible. :D

[Christa1]

WHAT THE HELL?!

Oh man...I REALLY need to go to this! Fuck!!!!

Now how can I get the parentals to let me go once again......:worried:

How do i get my mom (her bday) and my husband to let me go to another concert??:rolleyes:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^ that's a toughie.

but i have another question.

when you click on the "get tickets" it takes you to livenation.com. then when you buy tickets on livenation, that takes you to ticketmaster.


the november 1st concert for coldplay is not coming up on ticketmaster. :anxious:

as you can tell, i'm trying to get ready verry early for this so i can charge at 10. :D

i just don't know what to do then, cause it's not on comcasttix either. :stunned:

help!!

[The Joker]

yeah i don't get that either. Nov. 1st is my moms bday too. so i am taking her :)

[The Joker]

where do you get tickmaster from? I just see livenation

[Christa1]

I think the tix are available the 15th

Floor tix are not allways the best. I had 3rd row and it was so loud by the speakers you couldn't hear. 10th is good and remember if you are short and get stuck behind amazon people you are out of luck. wear heals

[Jbella76]

I'm hoping I can go. I am quite broke at the moment. I'll ebay some stuff if I have to. :laugh3:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

where do you get tickmaster from? I just see livenation


when you try to buy something on livenation, it takes you to ticketmaster.

that's why i'm confused, cause the concert's not showing up on ticketmaster. :anxious:

[The Joker]

who said tics will be available the 15th!?!?

[London_3888]

^^ that's a toughie.

but i have another question.

when you click on the "get tickets" it takes you to livenation.com. then when you buy tickets on livenation, that takes you to ticketmaster.

help!!

Just be careful w/ big sis's money and you'll live to see the show :)

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^ DAD'S BASICALLY PAYING. :dozey:.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

THE 15TH???!?

WHERE?!?!

:stunned:!!!

[London_3888]

good advice.
that's what happened to me (I'm 5'4"). just have to deal w/ the pain of the heels to get close.

[London_3888]

^^ DAD'S BASICALLY PAYING. :dozey:.

excuse me? as I recall I promised him I'd pay in full, you promised me you'd pay me for your ticket if you get a job before I die.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

so kids!

i tried contacting ticketmaster about the concert not being on their site...so lets hope they get back to me... :anxious:...

[London_3888]

OH MY GOD.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.

I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M DEFINITLEY GOING. :dance: :dance: :dance:!!!!!
:)

[The Joker]

where did this "tickets come out the 15th" come from?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^ i was wondering that too. :stunned:

does anyone know if that's true/where that'd be?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

now i'm really confused.

i contacted livenation, and they say they're not selling them. they said to contact the venue box office.

so i contacted the wachovia center too. :P

[The Joker]

what did they say?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

they didn't get back to me yet. i'll post it when they do!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

WACHOVIA TOLD ME COMCASTTIX.

i'm so confused.

maybe we have to order them on the phone? :anxious:!!!

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO ORDER THEM ONLINEEE??!?

[The Joker]

try comcast spectator. are they selling them now?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

comcast spectator says they go on sale monday.

OH THANK GOD.

you can buy tickets there!!

SO EVERYONE:

GO TO www.comcastspectator.com (http://www.comcastspectator.com) to get your tickets!!

thanks The Joker!

I was going crazy!!

[Christa1]

didn't it say orig that it was the 15th? sorry if i am wrong

[Christa1]

[Starlight]

It's okay, Christa, honest mistake. It gave me a heart attack though. :lol:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

don't worry about it, christa. honest mistake. :D

[Christa1]

:embarassed: if they come to NY and you all come, I'll buy you a drink.(and some ice cream) wish i could be with you all

[The Joker]

215 row 12. that was seat location last time. those were not too good. this time hopefully 1-10 rows on the floor

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

^ Keep in mind that the first 5 rows of the first floor sections are distributed by Roadie #42 at the show.
(If they're still doing that) :cool:

[The Joker]

distributed? Where at?

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

Distributed at the show, usually to the people in the balcony/nosebleed sections.

[musicman1990]

Im pretty sure Livenation are selling tickets, guys...and they're probably best. That's the one the site's promoting.

EVERYBODY CALM DOWN! Haha



Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

i contacted livenation though and they told me they're not even selling them.

which is pretty damn sleezy.

but i don't know, you could try it guys!! :P

[xXStaceyxX]

I can NOT fucking wait. I am so stoked! I didnt get a chance to go to the previous show. Funds were really tight. I was really bummed out and was just going to go to the East Rutherford NJ show cause I couldnt go to the Philly show. Well when I woke up on my birthday August 11th and saw the bulletin on myspace about how they added another Philly show, i screamed and jumped up and down and then cried. It was the best birthday gift ever!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait to get tickets now because funds are alot better. How cool is that!!! :)

[xXStaceyxX]

Distributed at the show, usually to the people in the balcony/nosebleed sections.





OMG NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!! That is pretty cool!

[phillygal]

To those who went to the previous show--who do you feel had the better seats...those who paid $97 or those who paid $79 (or even $50)? I know it all depends on your hieght, angle, etc. but I am trying to figure out if I should go all out and pay the $97 or will I have just as good of an experience and view if I just went for the cheaper seats.

Thanks for the help! Can't wait for the show!

[Galaga]

OMG this is great news. I had a feeling they would come back to Philly again on a second leg of the tour but had no idea it would be announced this soon.

So what's the best way to get the best seats? I usually get screwed buying them online when they go onsale. I know the box office usually has good tickets but I'd have to take the day off from work and wait in line all morning prolly. I'll be damned if I'm sitting in the 200 level again. :angry: I need floor action!!!

[ivette_e]

ahhhh


sooooooooooooooooo going again

i hope get floor again too :)

[maley422]

I would so be there again..... if I wasn't going to be in Africa from September to December. I am really rethinking this study abroad thing.:(

[Carlaatje]

didn't they say the might hit africa as well...? so maybe you could see ehm there..
or am I being delusional?

[The Joker]

From Comcast Spectacor:

Description:
After performing to a sold out crowd at the Wachovia Center on July 25, overwhelming demand brings Coldplay back to South Philadelphia on Saturday, November 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets to the Wachovia Center event priced at $49.50, $77.50, and $97.50 go on sale on Monday, August 18 at 10 a.m. exclusively through ComcastTIX.com, 1-800-298-4200, the Wachovia Complex Box Office, and select ACME locations.

Based on the popularity of Coldplay in Philadelphia, the second concert at the Wachovia Center is only one of four shows added to Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” tour, which includes supporting act Duffy.

The Chris Martin-led rock band is touring in support of their recently released album Viva La Vida. Even weeks after its June release, it was the No. 1 selling album in 36 countries. It held top honors in the United States for two weeks and has landed the title as the all time best selling digital album. Produced by Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, the record is the follow-up to 2005's X&Y, which debuted at No. 1 in 32 countries and has sold 10 million copies worldwide to date.

[apocalyptica]

Duffy??? nice!! its better than that santogold chick!

[jo_saw_sparks]

guysss
i want to go to this SO BAD but my friend and i are so low on cash... idk what to do! its a couple of hours away, but id so make the trip for Coldplay. by then it'd be my 6th time seeing them live, so getting crazy awesome seats isnt really a priority (im alraedy seeing them floor in East Rutherford in October) i just kinda wanna BE there. im hoping 70$ will just sort of appear on my lap in the next few days...

[maley422]

didn't they say the might hit africa as well...? so maybe you could see ehm there..
or am I being delusional?

I hope so... and if it's true I hope it's somewhere I can get to

[coldplay_is_louve.]

OMG this is great news. I had a feeling they would come back to Philly again on a second leg of the tour but had no idea it would be announced this soon.

it's a matter of luck, really. you could be behind a four year old or a seven foot tall basket player. so i'd try for the best. :P






MY GOD I'M SOO FREAKING EXCITED!! :dance:!!!!!!!

[Galaga]

I think I'm just gonna camp out at the Wachovia box office that morning. I haven't done that in years, omg. At least it won't be freezing, lol.

[el_nino]

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the ticket limit per purchase will be on Monday morning? Back in May it was two tickets, but I think that was increased to six later on. Thanks.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

i think, but i'm not sure, that it's eight?? :thinking:.

[The Joker]

well i need 4 tickets. and which is the best way to get them? online? or calling?

[professa95]

online and if you cant get good seats get to the wachovia center the day of the show really early in front of the box office youll get floor

[coldplay_is_louve.]

i think online is easier. you could be on the phone forever. :P

i got my tickets at 10:20 last time and i got some pretty damn good floor seats, so. :D

[musicman1990]

I got EXCELLENT floor seats a little bit after 10:00, too. Order as early as you can, but don't freak out. Even some of the seats in the 100 level are excellent. If you're on the sides in the first few rows, you're closer than some of the people on the floor!

ALSO, I just e-mailed LiveNation to confirm about them not selling tickets. I could be wrong, but I find it very hard to believe that a) Coldplay's official website would promote them selling tickets and b) LiveNation THEMSELVES have a page about them selling tickets. I'm sorry, but I'm very skeptical!

I'll let y'all know when I get my response!




Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

okay!!

maybe i asked the wrong question too. :P ahh it's all very confusing.

but i'm soo freaking excited!!

and i'm not going to be able to like, sleep until i know i have my tickets. :wideeyed:!

[professa95]

if there arent great floor available its better to just get 100's cause there nice and each seat is a litte higher then the one below

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^ true.

if i can't get good floor seats, ima try for the 100's right by the stage. :D

[musicman1990]

I stand corrected:

Dear Dave,

Thank you for contacting us. We are happy to promote and produce Coldplay's tour but, no, we are not selling the tickets for the US stretch of the tour. Most likely, Ticketmaster will be handling that sale. Please contact the venue box office for more information.

I wonder why everything points to them selling tickets, but they're not! Let's keep this a secret, though, so we can get better seats!



Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^ I'M IN. :D

[maxx0722]

Is it really worth it to see the same concert after you saw it in July?

I am a huge Coldplay fan but I don't see the point of seeing them 2 times within a few months.

Is it just me?

[icedude2010]

Is it just me?

yes....

[coldplay_is_louve.]

yeah. it really is just you. :)

so what we just saw them in july? if it were up to me, i'd have them on stage forever...

and ever... :P

[musicman1990]

I won't mind seeing them again AT ALL. Even if it's the same set! It's still totally worth it. They're an amazing live band. But who knows, maybe they'll mix it up for us!



Dave

[Morgan119]

Hey all! I'm def going to the show in Philly!!

So apparently I've been avidly reading this site and the emails and everything for like ever.. and I JUST realized that I apparently never registered lol.. so I'm still working on getting the whole profile/account thing working.

So question.. anyone else having a hard time finding people to go with who are willing to pay $100+ to go to the concert? Cuz my friends aren't as much into Coldplay as I am (still dunno why! Trying to convert them.. getting there.) so just curious. Any tips/suggestions of how to convince them to dish out the cash to see the best and most amazing band ever? Let me know! It worked for one for the show in July.. but everyone will be back at college for this show. So yeah just let me know! Thanks!!

[professa95]

[professa95]

[musicman1990]

Just be patient (and don't worry!)...

I'm so excited for the show!!!



Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

but that will never happen. :P

AHH I'M SOOO EXCITED!!!!

[professa95]

on sale tommorrow im making sure my computer gets alot of rest it needs to get some kick ass seats

[The Joker]

I STILL HAVNT ASKED MY PARENTS!!! I NEED HELP. HOW DO I CONVINCE THEM AFTER SEEING THE JULY SHOW?

[killer_cab]

So wait, I'm reading this, but question: where are tickets being sold tomorrow? Livenation? Wachovia? or ticketmaster?

[musicman1990]

Tickets are here:
http://search.comcasttix.com/east/eventinfo/ColdplayWachoviaCenter.php


Dave

[KEEK1]

I have no money so I know there wont be any tickets left...haha not unless someone wants to buy 2 tickets and take me with them (of course I'd pay fot the ticket)

[Texasluvsjonny]

6 hours til tickets go on sale.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

2 HOURS AND 19 MINUTES!! AHH!!!

the joker:

i would empasize to your parents how much you'll pay for the ticket, and how this willl make you soo happy. :D

good luck!!!

[rocknroll389]

ahhh...i havent been on this site in more than a week and didnt see they added this show till today! Oh no, with the 2 concerts at Izod sold out, this is my only opportunity to see them again this yr!----Must convince parents that i can go... within the next 15 min

O and if i can go, i hope there are good seats on comcasttix...since the show is not listed on ticketmaster i would think not as many ppl know about it and thus, those who do kno about it will get better tix... hopefully....

[busybeeburns]

talk about cutting it fine!

[rocknroll389]

ughh...my parents never understand...they see no point in me seeing them again when i already saw them twice at msg and today show...but there is a point! seeing them live again is like reliving an amazing experience over and over again...it never gets old! only 5 min to persuade!

[professa95]

well i'm just going to go to bed early, eat NO candy, and then eat TONS of candy the day of the concert to get my hyped up on sugar. :D

[musicman1990]

If anyone can't get floor seats, try and get seats on the sides in the 100 section. Yes the angle isn't as good as being head on, but you're litterally just as close as some of the floor people (if not closer.)

And I have to travel on Halloween :( I'll be at college in Connecticut, so I'll have to come home Friday night. It's TOTALLY worth it, though!

that sucks. ey, but it issss worth it!!! :D

[musicman1990]

I'm just throwing this idea out there...since it's kinda become a Philly tradition, are we doing sign again? I know it's alot to organize, but I think it'd be a cool thing to do. But we don't have to :)



Dave

[professa95]

we should.we should not have two signs but just 1 sign and explain to everyone so they all hold it up at the right time

[coldplay_is_louve.]

yesssss!!!

i still have my old signs from july, if we want to save paper. :D

[musicman1990]

Yeah I agree. People seemed confused last time as to when the encore even really was...

Maybe we can put little post-it's on them? Haha.



Dave

[busybeeburns]

I think if there's going to be another sign gang there should be one or two members going to the gig who would be willing to front some cash via paypal for printing costs to whoever organises it :)

[Texasluvsjonny]

Got mine :D
Now I just need to figure out how to get from DC to Philly. :laugh3:

[professa95]

well is that there fault or chris's when he explained the rules of the encore

[Morgan119]

When I went on to buy the tickets exactly at 10, it had me "queued" for about 10 minutes.. so I called the comcastix number and then as I did that it stopped being "queued" so I went to select "best available" to see what it would give me.. since last time when I bought the tix for the 7/25 show it came up with floor seats under best available. This time it went straight to section 102 for best available, so I went back and tried selecting the floor seats.. and it came up with Section 5. But I wanted to see if there was anything better so then it came up with section 7, which I was mad about cuz I liked 5 better (closer!) but 7 was seats 1-2 so it'd be on the end and I could lean out.. but then they both disappeared (dumb site!) and I did it again and it came up as section 9.. so I was pretty bummed.. and mad at myself for not taking the 5, so I tried it one more time and I thought I was like hallucinating when I saw it said ''SECTION 4!! So my seat is SECTION 4, ROW 4, SEAT 4!!! haha and it's on 11/1, and the charge amount was $234.50. Crazy or what?! But yeahh.. I'M EXCITEDDD!!!

+ I'm also coming home from school for the show.. but I go to school in Delaware so it's not that bad, just like 3 hours of trains unless I can get the car there.. We'll see.. but yay.. COLDPLAY!!! :D

[swallowedinthesea22]

Hey All,
Does anyone have a link or a picture of the seating for this concert? And not the one they show on the website, but one with the actual setup for coldplay with the wings on the sides? I'm in section 9 and I have no idea where that is because its not on the seating chart!
Very excited to goooooo :)

[Galaga]

Section 112, Row 3

I got Section 8 at first but decided to release 'em :o since they were way in the back and take my chances on good lower level ones. I actually prefer elevated seating and these are still pretty close to the floor. And no heads in the way, lol.

Still wish I was in 1-5 though! Lucky bastards, haha!!

im nervous i hope they kept good seats for this show

[coldplay_is_louve.]

i wouldn't chance it if i were you.

i'd try for the 100's around the sides. :D

[Texasluvsjonny]

magic carpet :idea2::laugh3:
Amtrak has a train that I could take from DC to Philly but I would have to ride back and get into DC at 2am. Not sure how safe the trains are at night or how to get from Philly venue back to Train station after show. Are there usually cabs hanging around after shows there?

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^^ every once and i while i see them, yeah. i'm sure you could get one.

Most definitely. You could also take the Broad Street Subway and then the El to 30th St Station and save yourself about 20-30 bucks. But if safety is a concern, might wanna go with the cab ride. Good luck!

[musicman1990]

I'm using Amtrak to get home.

[I don't know how to get the quote thing to work haha.. so I improvised! oops!]


Yeah those are all the ones I've been to.. and APPARENTLY when I was in Australia in 2003 they were there at the SAME time! Would've been great to see them there!! But I probably wouldn't have been able to though haha.

That's so funny! I've been to all of those exact shows! We're Coldplay Soulmates!



Dave

[musicman1990]

So is the Amtrak train pretty safe?

100%. It's not that bad, either. Amtrak will take you to 30th St. Station, and you can just take a cab to Wachovia.

As for getting home, I have no idea if the trains run that late. You might need to stay at a hotel.




Dave

[Morgan119]

+ wait.. If you think that story was hilarious.. you'd probably appreciate the story of what happened when I bought the tickets for the April 6, 2006 show..

I was sitting at my desk in my room an hour before the tickets were up for sale waiting eagerly at ticketmaster.com. The time came when they went on sale and I went to purchase my tickets. I went through a few results that came up and got one I liked. I was very happy and went to click "Purchase tickets" and saw I only had a few minutes before they were to be released.. and what happened????

The computer froze.

SO of COURSE I lost the tickets I wanted!! Then I was SO angry that I kicked my feet against the wall under my desk when I realized my foot actually went through the wall.. big hole.. lol. That was kindof hard to explain to my parents back then!

Then had to restart the computer, get back on the site and do it all over again only to get seats that were not as close for more money.


BUT...... ironically the seats ended up being really great actually. Cuz they were in the 100 something section but it was the part right on the end of the row.. where there was like a balcony because the row ended and that was where the people on the lower level would walk out onto the floor so I had no one sitting there and no one in front of me AND elevated seating.. so it still turned out great. (of course, it's COLDPLAY! haha)

But yeah.. It's ALWAYS SOOO stressful buying these tickets!!

now i am damn happy for the show!

[Christa1]

yeah for you Pallavi:rolleyes:

[Pallavi]

so you are not coming to the show?

i miss you there in philly!

[Christa1]

It will be my mothers bday and can't miss that, but we will allways have jersey:rolleyes:

HOLY HELL GUYS I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am excited for jersey too.

well its the place where i stay.:rolleyes:

happy to see Coldplay:)

[Texasluvsjonny]

It will be my mothers bday and can't miss that, but we will allways have jersey:rolleyes:You couldn't buy your poor mother a Coldplay ticket for her birthday and bring her to the show? If you were my kid, I would disown you! :angry:

HOLY HELL GUYS I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+1 !!! :D

[Starlight]

Sup holla! I don't feel like going back some pages, so where are you guys sitting?

[Pallavi]

i've given it in the last page annie!

are you going then?

[jasmynebirch]

How did you get these? At face value online this morning??? sec 1 row 7!

a couple of rows ahead of last time!!!!

[Christa1]

Oh, uh, uh, my mom is sort of into the Frank Sinatra crowd and I think she would have a heart attack if she saw me behave the way i do at a Coldplay concert. literallly. And my husband well, lets just say he is in for a for a specticle of great proportions. hehehehehehehe:rolleyes:

[maxx0722]

going with 3 friends. floor section 7.

I couldn't resist

[xXStaceyxX]

yes....



That was the most rediculous question I have ever read.

[maxx0722]

True...

I apologize. Are we doing anything special for the show? I say we make shirts of some sort.

[killer_cab]

Section 7, Row 3! So excited. I had section 5, but I lost it on the time.


Who wants to help me get up closer??? haha.

[Jbella76]

I was on at 9:30 am to be sure I could pounce at 10:00. The 1st set was Floor sec 5 row 10, I think. I passed on it since I am very short. But now I regret it. Then the next set was Lower Level sec 112 row 2. I took them since I had no idea what would come next. I'm not terribly unpleased but I was hoping to be on the other side near Jonny. I've been terribly spoiled these last few shows and these seats, which aren't that bad, pale in comparison.

If anyone has similar seats just on the other side, would you want to swap sides? Just thought I'd put it out there. I'm thinking just as I would prefer to be on one side perhaps another person has tickets on one side opposite what they prefer, too.

How does comcast tix work??? I've been checking on & off for seats. I'm being offered all kinds of spots like sections 110-104. I would love to score some 123 or 124's...even if it's a higher row. Not a one has come up? Could they be sold out? I thought it was all random? You can't choose can you??

[KEEK1]

yeah I sat in sec 122 it was great...I am trying to get that side again..same thing with the floor I am only 5"1 and I am a short shit...so it just won't work for me

[musicman1990]

Section 5, Row 15.

AMAZING seats. Same exact row that I sat in last time they came and it was brilliant. They weren't RIGHT up in their faces, but I could CLEARLY see everything. But the best part of it is that it's litterally dead center in the arena. I've got the crowd singing on every side of me (very litterally!), so the sound is amazing. Just hearing the audience during Fix You itself made me almost cry! But when The Scientist came on and it was just so simple and everything, I could hear the entire arena just singing the words at the top of their lungs...all I can say is that it was a moment in time I will never forget.

So to have the same seats again? I'm blessed.




Dave

[Morgan119]

I had crazy ticket buying experiences too.. you can read previous pages if you want.. but I got Section 4, Row 4, Seat 4! haha :)

CAN'T WAITTT!!! <3

No you can't pick and choose a certain section, which would be money. It's the luck of the draw. I thought as more time went by, the seats gets worse and worse. But that's not always the case apparently. If you've got the balls to keep trying for better seats, you might get them. I got section 8 at first and thought that was the best I could get for floor so I decided to throw 'em back and take my chances. So now I'm in 112 row 3 seat 18. Section buddy if you decide to stay! :D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

section 5, row 12.

a whole section better than last time!!! i'm excited!! :D

i think it's about 74 days now till the concert? :dance:!!!

[jasmynebirch]

I think if you call comcasttix you can talk to someone and possibly pick a section. Maybe we can try for that the next time they are in town one on the computer and one on the phone?

They have single seats in either section 123 or 124 in like row 21 I think. I was playing around last night to see what else came up.

I was in section 4 last time and I really couldnt see anything. I am 5'5 and not that short either. I think you will be happier with your seats.

How did you get these? At face value online this morning???

yep

amazing basically
at 10:01 am (et)

i also got another ticket for a friend in Sec 3 row 6

[coldplay_is_louve.]

i'm 5'8 1/2'' so i'm good with floor. :P

hm. i wonder if they'll do reign of love or cemeteries of london! :heart:!

[professa95]

I hope they do cemiteries of london and im going to keep a live update from my sidekick

[Galaga]

yep

amazing basically
at 10:01 am (et)

i also got another ticket for a friend in Sec 3 row 6 So you bought singles? Maybe that's the trick.

Next time I'm gonna do the two computer thing: desktop and laptop off my router and use one of them to keep rollin' the dice. :wink:

[Galaga]

hm. i wonder if they'll do reign of love or cemeteries of london! :heart:! And Warning Sign, too! <3

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^^ oh that would be AMAZING. :wideeyed:!!!!

[musicman1990]

For me, I'll die if they do White Shadows. But that's a long shot.

Personally, although I genuinely love every song on the album (and I'm not just saying that), I think they can take out some of the album tracks this time around and replace them. Personally, Yes and Strawberry Swing can go. And also, God Put A Smile sould get the ax, too. It's such a half-assed performance. At least do the whole song, give it a build, etc. So I'd say kick it to the curb.

An ideal set for me would be:

Life In Technicolor
Violet Hill
Clocks
In My Place
Viva La Vida
Cemeteries Of London
42
Trouble
Fix You
Warning Sign

Chinese Sleep Chant
Whte Shadows

Speed Of Sound
Yellow
Lost!

The Scientist (Acoustic)
Death Will Never Conquer

Politik
Lovers In Japan
Death And All His Friends


And that's just with substituting songs in and out. I'd still change the order around a bit. (Spread out the singles...).

Oh, and just a side note...I mis-spelt "Life In Technicolor" as "Live In Tehnicolor" at first. Wouldn't that be an awesome name for the DVD?



Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^^ that totally would!!!!!!!!!!

they should make the philly show a dvd, cause no one ever does. :(

the perfect setlist for me would probably consist of all their songs, so i'm not going to even try it. :D

I'd have to agree with ya Dave, that would ideal for me as well. Throw the full version of Talk and The Hardest Part in there and wow, that would be a mind-blowing setlist.

Oh and +2 on the DVD name, noice!

[Starlight]

You know...I was getting all excited and planning everything out for this night...when I realized it's in November. :laugh3: Can't it come any quicker?!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

thanks to the lovely annie, I'M GOING TOO! :dance:

i was debating it for a long time, but on sunday night i just decided not to bother to look for tickets online. i'm seeing them in NJ the weekend before, and it's kind of a big production for me to get to philly and back without a car. so i just decided to leave it for now, and perhaps buy a single ticket later if i felt strongly about it. but then...i sort of came into a ticket from a very nice friend :D :nice:

i have to work out all the transport part of this, but i have time. OMG can't wait for my coldplay double-play!

[musicman1990]

Do you think we can get another special encore out of them?

White Shadows
Cemeteries Of London

42
Yes
Strawberry Swing
Trouble
--
SIDE STAGE:
Chinese Sleep Chant
God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (Remix - Full Song)
--
BACK TO STAGE:
Talk (Starts out as album version, but turns into remix)
Yellow
Everything's Not Lost
Warning Sign
--
ACOUSTIC:
The Scientist
Death Will Never Conquer
--
BACK TO SAGE:
Clocks
Lost!
In My Place
Fix You
Death And All His Friends
--
ENCORE:
Politik
Viva La Vida
Lovers In Japan


If they did that set, I would shit my pants.

these two are the pics i've taken last time when they're playing scientist.

i think that section 8 is not that bad to see a concert though!

particularly when they come to play on floor and acoustic sets we can have more advantage.

[KEEK1]

hey do you think sec 107 is a good spot for the concert..last time I sat in sec 122 it was awesome

[Pallavi]

hey do you think sec 107 is a good spot for the concert..last time I sat in sec 122 it was awesome

last time i got sec 116 its absolutely awesome and i saw Chris in front of me with piano and going on ramps front of my section.

[Starlight]

Woah great pictures!!!

That was the one thing that really made me wanna go again....in case they perform COL!

[KEEK1]

yeah well now I found out my friend isn't going anyone got an extra ticket?

[jasmynebirch]

if you go to comcast tix they still have great single seats right by the stage on the lower level

[Christa1]

You know...I was getting all excited and planning everything out for this night...when I realized it's in November. :laugh3: Can't it come any quicker?!


Weve just been saying this about October in Jersey !! we have to wait, and it will be all worth it. trust me:rolleyes:

[KEEK1]

yeah I saw some but geez...it is alway nice to have someone u know there...


I am 5'1 and I think the floor might be a bad idea, so that might be out I saw some in the 115 sec I really wanted to sit over on the other side sec 123...the Jonny side wOOOOO hOOOOO

[jasmynebirch]

I completely understand. I saw singles in 123 row 21 last night. I got seats in 114 but was also hoping to be Jonny side. At least I will have a good view for GPASUYF and CSC.

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:!!

i totally didn't think of that when i said it. :P

[musicman1990]

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:!!

i totally didn't think of that when i said it. :P

I try :)

I wish the same thing, though! I can't WAAAITTT.



Dave

[professa95]

allright whos going to be in the sign gang this time around?

[musicman1990]

I will DEFINITELY be able to help pass out signs this time around. But unfortunately I can't print any out; I'll be at college.

But if we're going to do this again (we really should!), count me in!



Dave

[jasmynebirch]

I have to admit I was upset about the lack of audience participation this time with the signs. At the show in 2006 EVERY PERSON held up their signs. If you guys print them I will def help out though. Make sure they only say Viva La Coldplay or whatever else you want but def dont have "USA still loves CP" on them.

[Starlight]

I will help pass them out, but I won't be able to print any. :sad:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

i can pass out, but i can't print.


that seems like that's all we're getting. :(

[musicman1990]

We really should do it, though. This needs to become a solid Philly tradition!



Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

definitley.

hm. aaaaanyone going:

CAN YOU PRINT SOME? :D!!!

[Christa1]

how do you make the signs? what computer program? does every concert have a different sign and how do you decide what they should say? i am planning on doing the signs for the 27th of oct for jersey and need some direction since i havent done it before. can anyone help me? thank you very much. Pallavi and Professa 95 said they would help out too but i can make them all. :rolleyes:

[musicman1990]

I would offer to help, I really would...but like I said, I'll be up at school. A) I can't travel with that many signs B) I won't have the ink/paper to print that many signs and C) I won't have the money to buy the paper/ink (I'm a college student after all!)

Sorry :( But we're Coldplay fans! We can figure this out!




Dave

[ColdplayInMyBrain]

Ok so I'm being completely spoiled but it seems like every single ticket that comes up is complete garbage for me(back of the arena, back of the floor in section 9). If anyone has decent seats to sell that is not in the very back of the arena I get first dibbs!!!!:D

Last time I was litterally at the very tip of the stage leg and johnny was 2 ft away from me during in my place. Crazy...

[Galaga]

I can print some.

[KEEK1]

I completely understand. I saw singles in 123 row 21 last night. I got seats in 114 but was also hoping to be Jonny side. At least I will have a good view for GPASUYF and CSC.

well I know I am definatly bringing my camera this time...they didn't even check last time...

I wanna get a whold bunch of pics this time...

I never saw the single tickets over by sec 123 I think they are gone now

[KEEK1]

oh btw what site did u look on cause on comcast tix just sec 115 came up?

[Morgan119]

What do the signs need to say + is it just one-sided?? I MIGHT be able to have some printed. My mom's a teacher so she gets free paper/ink/etc... so I might be able to get her to print some for me. I just don't know how many we're talking about, any estimates? Also, I'm in the same boat as Dave because I'll be at college in Delaware until the day of the show so yeah.. but if I know what to make them say and have a strong reason then I can MAYBE get my mom to print some copies at her school. Just tell me what to do lol.

+ ALSO--I bought 2 tickets for the 11/1/08 Philly show.. but I'm not sure if any of my friends are DEF going yet (due to college/$$$/etc).. so I MIGHT be able to sell someone my ticket!

Section 4, Row 4, Seat 4+3

I'll keep you guys updated and let you all know as soon as I find out if a friend will be buying my other ticket or not :)

sooo excited though.. just got nice frames for the poster I got at the 7/25/08 show.. but I don't want to bring ALL the posters.. I'm thinking only 1-2 cuz I'll need some at home for when I'm not at school you know? haha. :-D

+ the butterfly confetti from the show.. I'm putting it around my dorm room for decoration cuz I love butterflies and they're from COLDPLAY!! :-D

[jasmynebirch]

I have the sign templates still for Viva La Coldplay. PM me and I can email it to you!! :)

[jasmynebirch]

Yeah it was on comcast tix and it was later in the evening on Monday. Did you try calling them directly?

Here is what I did with my butterflies that I collected from DC & Philly http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f346/violet_hues/ColdplayJuly252008Philadelphia00-1.jpg

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^^ i did the same thing! :D

good luck to everyone printing signs. if you need more people to help pass them out i can help. :)

[Christa1]

I have the sign templates still for Viva La Coldplay. PM me and I can email it to you!! :)


Thanks, will do later today, running around like a crazy woman!!!!! :rolleyes:

[professa95]

we should keep the viva la coldplay signs and dont use the other ones everyone who wants to be added to the list pm me with your seats and email

[professa95]

everybody who wants to participate in the sign gang is comitting to 400 signs plus. You can either print them out yourself or send money to me and ill print them out for you. we'll use the viva la coldplay sign. If you want the template pm either jasmyne or me

[supersoldier]

Section 4, Row 4, Seat 4+3



We'll be neighbors. I'm in that same row!:smug:

[musicman1990]

How are we going to go about making sure people hold up signs, though? I feel like they should come with letters explaining about them on the back. Would that be too much work?


Dave

[Morgan119]

Maybe at the very bottom of the sign you could write when to hold them up.. that way the people holding the signs will know when to hold them up but Coldplay won't see that part because it will be small on the bottom.. kindof like what they did with the signs for the Twisted Logic Tour last time.. thoughts??

[musicman1990]

We did that last time, too, though. If we could print on the backs it would AWESOME. OR even staple a note to the front. I'd be totally willing to get there early to help do that and stuff. I could even write up a nice letter. I think we need to explain the purpose for the signs themselves. Go all the way back to 2006 and explain then.

But I know it's alot of work...


Dave

[coldplay_is_louve.]

the sign gang did that last time, and it seemed like no one paid attention. :(

i know whatcha mean dave. i just wish these people would do it. we could get another freaking song or two out of it!!! :P

[musicman1990]

also, you know what would be cool? is if we actually cover the ENTIRE arena. Upper sections and all.

I think the band would keel over!


I'm thinking big, I know...


Dave

[professa95]

we just have to explain to everyone we hand them too

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i can't print, but i can help pass out! :D

i think this will be awesome!

[Viva La Coldplay]

we should keep the viva la coldplay signs and dont use the other ones everyone who wants to be added to the list pm me with your seats and email
OK, who authorized the use of my screen name for these "signs"?!?! :veryangry2:






















































LOL, JK! haha :D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

^^^^ :P

well we've got plenty of time. i can't wait!!!!!!!!! :dance:!
