25-Nov-2008: Honda Center, Anaheim, Orange County (NEW DATE!)

[LVI56]

Hello,

I want to buy some tickets to the show but I've never been to a concert at Honda Center so I was wondering if someone who has been there can shed some lights on the views in section 100s (104, 105, or 106) and section 200s (228, 201, or 202). Also, are there seats in 104, 105, and 106 or do we have to stand? Thank you.

Here are some pics from their concert (found on google) to give you an idea of the size and location of seats. The Honda center is huge (top to bottom), you probably do not want anything in the 400's. I got section 223 last time and 221 this time. Amazing views. The floor is all seats, yet everybody stands. So if you are in the back floor you may have trouble seeing over everybody.

The last link appears to be from 201 or 208. I say the 200's are the best, unless you get close 100's...find a roadie/techie and sing your heart out for those.

This is the view from my seat in 2006, section 223 row M:

Thank you for your response.

Where's row HH in section 228? Is that in the front or the back? Thanks again.

[LVI56]

HH would be near the back. Starts at A-Z then AA and onwards.
Here's the seating for the concert: http://www.hondacenter.com/seating_endstage.aspx

Mrk150, I saw Coldplay at the Honda Center few years back (when it was the Arrowhead Pond)...the ONLY thing that's so damn frustrating about the floor seats (which I have yet again) is that you are literally like a sardine packed-in (section 104 I believe..all floors have a similar feeling)...I mean you barely have any room for your legs to move...always uncomfortably glued to the person next to you. (when seated of course) So, don't plan on drinking alot of beer...near impossible to not feel like a complete nuisance getting up and down... If so, hope that you're on the isle (thank God I am this time). Oh, and I would eat before. I mean, you become neighbors real quick. Regardless, the sound is what you would expect in a hockey arena, very echoey. Plus, floor seats are even; so hope you don't have Cowboy Billy-bob in front of you. Coldplay still manage to keep the sound from running away from you so don't worry abou the quality. You know, the seating location it's certainly better than the nosebleeds. I hope that helps give you some perspective. I have 1 extra ticket (not seated by me) that I'm trying to sell on Craiglist for face value; it's section 201, Row S which is in the center (although in the back)...at least it's a stereo sound there and NOT flat on the floor...anyway just thought I'd mention it.

[Voltaire72]

sorry for the multiple posts - slow internet...

[livethelife16]

Any luck with the contest guys?!?!?!?!
....me niether! :\

[krissy b.]

^ nope. nothing still :(

[LVI56]

Anyone else got tix but can't go I'm looking for 1 more to take my sister.

[talkingonsquareone89]

ridiculous as this sounds, i'm having trouble deciding between a seat in section 204 row M........or a seat in section 104 row 10.

(take the floor seat 30+ rows away from the stage, or the loge seat that's further away from the stage but with a guaranteed view of the whole stage).


:embarassed:

[LVI56]

Tough one...Personally I'd take the loge seat. I like the over view of the entire show...but then again being that far from the stage is a drawback.

[busybeeburns]

This thread is five times bigger than some of the shows that have already passed - and this one is still 2 weeks away :o

[krissy b.]

^ its probably because we've all been trying to win the most annoying, frustrating, ridiculous, contest EVER for weeks now and none of us have !!!

if anyone at all is still trying- good luck today :)

[LVI56]

I knew that contest was familiar. The sellers I got my ticket from won the contest...which is why they were selling their original tickets. Meet and greet the band...wow...I'm gonna go ahead and try for today.

[gator27]

Hi All,
This is the fourth time I will be seeing Coldplay. If memory serves me correct, they usually came on between 9 and 9:30 pm. Although, I came across one thread (don't remember which one) for another date on this leg of the tour and I believe someone said the guys came on at 8:40ish? Does anyone know if this was just a fluke or have the guys been coming out earlier in this leg of the tour? Any ideas??? 11-25-08 Woo hoo!

[talkingonsquareone89]

....apologies for being totally random, but i just realized the Anaheim gig for this tour is also on a Tuesday night like the last tour's. :P

this will be the third Coldplay gig i'll be going to that's on a Tuesday night. hurrah!



**semi-bored while waiting to call in :lol:**

my guess is that they'll stick with coming onstage at 9.
the 8:40-ish had to be for some other reason (i.e.: venue's curfew, special event, etc.)

[talkingonsquareone89]

damnit.....on the line for 3+ minutes....and then gets disconnected

[livethelife16]

Whatever! This contest is the worst thing EVER!! LIKE REALLY! I HATE YOU 98.7! :lol: :surprised:

[talkingonsquareone89]

and this is apparently the LAST giveaway.


*swift kick to STAR 98.7's arse* :sneaky:



**edit**
never mind...more call-ins to come.

[krissy b.]

oh I totally hate this station too- and as much as I really wanted to win or anyone from here to win- Im super glad its over it was driving me insane :\

EDIT : wait wtf theres more?!!!

[MrK150]

I'm going with a female friend so I don't want her to stand in the 104's for three hours but mid-200s and front-100s are asking for >$400 a piece.

Is $450/2 a fair price for seats in 201-205 and 225-228? Do you guys prefer views or location? So, 201 Row N or 205 Row H or maybe 211 Row K? Thanks for ya'll's inputs.

[livethelife16]

oh I totally hate this station too- and as much as I really wanted to win or anyone from here to win- Im super glad its over it was driving me insane :\

EDIT : wait wtf theres more?!!!

HUH? They are doin it again?!?!?! :rolleyes:

[krissy b.]

and this is apparently the LAST giveaway.


*swift kick to STAR 98.7's arse* :sneaky:



**edit**
never mind...more call-ins to come.

did they say there was more??!!- i was really angry and I turned it off :inquisitive:

[livethelife16]

confused! :confused:

[krissy b.]

^ me too. i thought they were done torturing us. they said during the whatever one today that at 3 that was the last giveaway so.... I dont know

[livethelife16]

aHHH!! Maybe I'll call them later and ask...that is what I had to do last time! I'll let you guys know if I find out!

[talkingonsquareone89]

right after that chick was told she won, the DJ then said text VIVA in to find out more times to call in....*or so they claim, just like they've claimed that 3pm was the last giveaway* >=[

lol, text in later, or if someone has already called, what did they say?

[livethelife16]

No Ill call later and let you guys know! K! Just be sure to check this thread later! :D

[krissy b.]

^ k. thanks :)

[iUSED2RULEtheWORLD]

So, 201 Row N or 205 Row H or maybe 211 Row K? Thanks for ya'll's inputs.

I think I would get 205, because in section 211 it seems you won't be able to see the whole stage:)

[coldplay_fan322]

I heven't had a chance to try yet, Anyone else have trouble trying to listen online? I get nothing, not even through the toolbar. And I can't seem to get a radio to pick it up either, all i get is mexican music!

I'll be leaving very early. After car trouble causing me to miss the Forum show I'm being extra careful and giving myself lots of time to take it easy getting there.

[talkingonsquareone89]

Argh I'm still gonna try calling in. Even if it's going to crush me in the end (...or make life so incredibly awesome). Preferably the latter, plz. :P

[Jsalyers]

Ahhh, Ive been stuck to the computer all morning. No go though, I didnt even get in this time.

2PM people:D

[adrian2425]

I am going to my first coldplay Concert so i am new at this Do so Staf let Camera in? and if yes What type of Camera can i bring it the Honda Center?

[talkingonsquareone89]

make sure its a camera that you can easily hide it anywhere on you.
and obviously, no professional cameras (ones with large removable lenses).


everyone.....


2 more days! :D

[adrian2425]

how do i hide the camera do staff serach people?

[LVI56]

When I saw them there in 06 the staff searched everyone. did a bag search, made you take everything out of your pockets and swiped everyone with a wand detector thingy. There were signs posted about no cameras. I had a small digital, some people had more advanced digital cameras and got in just fine. I think they will pass still cameras unless they are the huge professional cams.
Though at that time I was there two hours before doors opened, the staff pulled 25 of us, did their search and lined us up in 5 rows of 5 people...we all thought we were going to get something for being early but we were just the first to go in lol.

So they saw the camera?
:\

[LVI56]

Yes they saw the camera.

[adrian2425]

Yes they saw the camera.

So i don't know what to do???:\:\
what do you thing take the camera and hope for the best or hide it which i don't like?

[andreabailey]

Hey!.. I'm going Stag..because my roomies are losers. Is anyone planning on getting there early to tailgate -- may I join? ..


I'm in Sec 219 Row Q

[LVI56]

I say bring it and hope for the best. The camera I'm bringing is much larger than the one I brought in 06. I'll keep it in my jacket pocket, If like last time they make you remove everything from pockets then I'll just hold it and hope they don't say anything.

I hope we can get in with the camera so good luck to both of us.
Oh, do you know what happens to the camera that don't go in? :confused:

[LVI56]

Not too sure, either they can hold it till after the show or let you take it back to your car.

[adrian2425]

ok thanks:)

oh for that went to the forum this July in LA, did they let in with a small camera?:thinking:

[iUSED2RULEtheWORLD]

If you hid them.

[talkingonsquareone89]

ARGH....called in just now. apparently i must've been close, but not close enough cause i was on hold for 5 minutes again, then disconnected. :cry:

[talkingonsquareone89]

krissy, how the HELL did you get it?! really?!:angry:

:lol:

[Jsalyers]

Ahhh, im so excited you guys:dance:

So do people still want to meet up before the show or anything??

[adrian2425]

ok i just what to know has anyone got in with a camera without hideing it?
and yes we are excited Jsalyers.

[Jsalyers]

Ya i have actually. My friend didnt want to put it in her purse so I just put it in my pants behind my belt. They are not going to search you like that, so there is nothing really to worry about:D

[adrian2425]

ok

[LVI56]

Well that was the last chance to win. I was on hold for about 5 minutes, then it went silent, then i heard background music like someone picked up...then dial tone...ugh.

[talkingonsquareone89]

Ahhh, im so excited you guys:dance:

So do people still want to meet up before the show or anything??
Yeah! But how early do all of us want to meet up at??

[Jsalyers]

I just got caller 18 a few minutes ago. Now I cant get through anymore!!

Ya it really depends on what time for me too, since im driving from San Diego!

[Jsalyers]

Ugh they just announced the winners!!!

The girl was screaming!! At least she was excited about it, a true fan hopefully!

[talkingonsquareone89]

Oh man I was caller 82 earlier! :bigcry:


Oh well...at least the contest is OVER!


I don't think I'll be able to arrive until 4 or 5PM. That's considerably pretty early, I guess. (But I'm curious to get there as early as possible, just because...:whistle:)

[talkingonsquareone89]

Dang! it's probably a good thing that DJs don't have to pick up the phones and hold it by the ear. They were really loud! :laugh:

[LVI56]

That girl was happy, nice to know some of the tickets went to some true fans. Can't wait to hear what Krissy has to say about the meet and greet.

[talkingonsquareone89]

**sorry double post**

[krissy b.]

krissy, how the HELL did you get it?! really?!:angry:

:lol:

:laugh3: honestly, i have absolutely no idea. Im waiting for them to call me with more info and if they dont call me soon- I dont really know if friday ever even really happened or I dreamt the whole thing up

[talkingonsquareone89]

did they pick up the phone right away or something? what did they say?

[krissy b.]

^ no actually they didnt. the whole thing was really weird. the guy didnt say that it was star 98.7 at all. he asked what I was calling for, (which was a really really stupid question) , then he asked if I was a rock a holic, and then he asked if I wanted to be the 98th caller ( another really really stupid question) . right after this he said we won but I dont much after that- there was way too much screaming going on in my house :)

they are supposed to call with more info and they better call soon- I have to come up with a lie to tell my professors if I have to miss class. Im thinking about telling them the truth but Im not sure how well that will go over...

[Jsalyers]

Oh man I was caller 82 earlier! :bigcry:


Oh well...at least the contest is OVER!


I don't think I'll be able to arrive until 4 or 5PM. That's considerably pretty early, I guess. (But I'm curious to get there as early as possible, just because...:whistle:)
Ya im think thats when ill get there as well! But ya I want to get there early as well!

[LVI56]

I'll be there a few hours early too, about 5 sounds right. Nothing like waiting in anticipation.

[Jsalyers]

Ya, plus I want to see if I can catch them if they didnt arrive yet and see them come in. Probably have to get there earlier though.

[MrK150]

Is it too late to go in at 8:00 or even 8:15? I don't want to sit around and wait for Coldplay but I also don't want to miss any part of it. Thanks.

[LVI56]

I'm heading home for Thanksgiving break tonight, so I'm not sure I'll be able to stay here and wait for your updates, Joe! :( In fact, I won't really be online much at all today...
Anyway, have an AMAZING time and I will definitely catch up on this thread tomorrow! :D

[LVI56]

Yay it's morning....and its raining. Hopefully it will clear up and be replaced by butterflies. I'll be there about 4 or 5. blue shirt, green jacket.

[Jsalyers]

Its raining!!! Its sunny here in SD, my dad said it was supposed to rain though anyways. Hope see some people there. Ill be between 4 and 5 wearing a black Coldplay shirt with their faces on it;) Oh and I have glasses.

Thanks so much Sarah, ya if later today then definitely tomorrow:D

[LVI56]

Hope they play Rainy Day cause its raining...that would be perfect!

[Jsalyers]

Haha! That would be actually!!
Im hoping for Glass Of Water, I heard it a couple days ago and its awesome!!!

[krissy b.]

[Jsalyers]

[jcmojica23]

Today is the day!!! Fixing to go get the EP at Best Buy and jam out for a while then off to The Pond!!!

[Jsalyers]

Nice dude! I still havent got mine in the mail yet, ill probably just go buy it before I leave so I listen on the way up;)

See ya there!

[jcmojica23]

what time do u plan on heading out??

[Jsalyers]

Well I wanted to get there like between 4 and 5 so im going to leave like at 1:30-2. Definitely want to avoid that traffic forsure!!!

[jcmojica23]

yeah im planning on leaving at 2. i cant believe today is the day its gonna be awesome. i already knw what to expect since i went to the forum in July but im just as excited if not more excited than last time...I just WISH they would play Trouble but they only played it the first night at the Forum and i dont think theyve played it since

[Jsalyers]

I know, i am definitely more excited this time. I went to the first night at the forum, it was great!!
Im just hoping that there is a change in the set list tonight, at least a small one:D

[jcmojica23]

Even if there isnt a change its going to kick so much ass!!!

[Jsalyers]

Oh ya forsure, either way its going to be fucking great!!!

Alright dude, well I got to head off and get ready and run a few errands before I leave. Maybe ill see you around there later.

[Christa42]

have a Fanfuckingtastic time everyone!!

[Jsalyers]

Thanks Christa!!!

[Christa42]

joe, i sent you a pm

[talkingonsquareone89]

at school right now.....concert is in 8-ish hours!
can't wait! :dance:

[katieplay]

Happy Coldplay day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im SO EXCITED!!!!!

[Corkus]

Hmm...I'm studying these doppler weather radars carefully to plan accordingly for traffic and whatnot. It's not raining yet here in Ventura, and it looks as if I'll be in the clear to meet up with my friend in Hollywood beforehand without any trouble, though from that point we'll have to carefully calculate the best time to leave (we don't want to get there super-early, but early enough).

But yeah. Totally stoked. My first Coldplay concert, as well as my first concert period in quite a while.
:laugh3:

[Pris]

Hey being there super early is not a bad thing!!!

You might get to see them arrive or soundchecking......

Early venue stalking is always a good way to spend time......... ;)

Hope you have a great time at your first Coldplay concert!!!!! :dance:
Believe me, after this one, you'll be begging for more :D

[LVI56]

I'll be leaving about 2. little over an hour drive, but i expect 2 hours maybe more driving though rain and the recent fire area. so arrive about 4.

[Corkus]

M'kay, I'm about to hit the road. First to meet up with my "posse", and then, to the venue! I probably won't be back online for another 24 hours, but I hope we all have an excellent time and I'll be back to rave in the aftermath tomorrow.

And with that...I'm in terminal Coldplay fever...VIVA LA VIDA Y ADIOS!

[Mimixxx]

Have fun :dance:

[melanieau]

HAVE FUN JOE AND EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

:dance:

[jessin]

watch out for the swede!

[LVI56]

I'm leaving in a few minutes. A Reminder...

Parking is $15
and for anyone going early:
"Q. When does the Honda Center parking lot open for events?
A. Our main gate (Gate 3, North side of the building) is usually open three hours prior to the doors of the arena opening. For most events, all parking gates will be open one hour prior to the doors of the arena opening. The main gate (Gate 3, North side of the building) is always open to box office and Ducks Team Store guests."
Thats at about 3:30
Doors open 6:30

[Jsalyers]

Sweet my iPod has wifi here:D

[Ouiparis]

Whoo hoo! Can't wait...just a few more hours!

[Pris]
