[Julie]

Yes! im going!:dance:

[Christa42]

congrats Julie!!!

[Texasluvsjonny]

I hope they sell some GA pit tickets. :dance:

[sa_spurs_tx]

ill be there.

[Angst]

I am definitely going!!!

For those who've never been to the Cynthia Woods Pavillion it's a really nice outdoor concert stage. And there's also a small pit which Im gonna try my best to get tickets for if its not more expensive.

Oh and imo there isnt that much seating so y'all should rush to the presale to get tickets otherwise you're gonna be on the lawn.

[coldplayloveintexas]

I'm loving that the guys are coming back to Houston and are playing in what is practically my back yard!! :D

I'll spend whatever it takes to get great reserved seats..... 2 shows in Houston in one year?? I think I've died and gone to heaven!!!

Viva la Texas!!

Susan

[nobetternoworse]

I'm in! Hopefully OXFAM will have another stint with this show.

^ YES!

Viva la Texas! :)

[Andels]

I'll be there.. as well as the Dallas show.

[Julie]

WHOOOPP!:dance:

Susan

Susan, I feel the same way. I took all my daughters in November to see them at the Toyoto Center, now I found tonight that they will be back in July.
We WILL be there, whatever it takes.:)
The rest of the family knows I am ate up with Coldplay, its just a matter of fact round this house. :D

[yellow745]

OMG!!! I am so going again!! I'll try my best to get pit tickets, they are the best!

[sa_spurs_tx]

Are the pit tickets reserved w/ chairs?? Probably not right? I sat on the floor at the Toyota Center and despite being 5'10" , I still had trouble seeing.

[Mikejpss]

Can someone tell me how to get tickets to this show- besides going thru TicketMaster, or the other routine scalps ?
In all of my concerts to see Coldplay, I have yet been able to buy them directly from the group , and at face value. Always have to buy thru a 2nd or 3rd layer , and the usual $80 ticket will cost me upwards of $130.
I am in need of 12 tickets to take the girls in my family (daughters, grand daughters, daughter-in-laws) :D
( Did I mention that Paw-Paw will be paying for all the tickets? :laugh3:)
Seems there should be a way to get tickets so that we can all sit together, or reasonably close to each other. We all love Coldplay, have been several times and wish to keep going to these concerts. We drive from Baton Rouge to Houston to see them so we would like to stay together at the concert.
Someone please advise me the best way to get tickets before the concert is sold out in 3 minutes to the ticket companies that resell them for a scalp. :\
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike J in Gonzales, La.

[Texasluvsjonny]

Are the pit tickets reserved w/ chairs?? Probably not right? I sat on the floor at the Toyota Center and despite being 5'10" , I still had trouble seeing.If they have a PIT, it will be right in front of the stage and holds I would guess about 100-150 people max. From the seats, views are good throughout as long as some giant isn't in front of you. Can say about the lawn as I don't do lawn. :P

If you are from out of town and need a hotel, try the Drury Inn at the Woodlands. It's really close and a nice hotel.

[localola86]

I know they're coming to my town (omg, I'm still in disbelief about it), I wanna go to another concert, but I'm between Houston or North Carolina :uhoh:

[Julie]

come to Houston lola!:smiley:

[Mikejpss]

Are the pit tickets reserved w/ chairs?? Probably not right? I sat on the floor at the Toyota Center and despite being 5'10" , I still had trouble seeing.

I sat on the floor at Toyoto Center on 11-18-08 , being 6 ft 1 inch I had trouble seeing also. Never will do floor seats again. :\
ANYBODY_ PLEASE tell me how to get 12 tickets -together-as a group. ANY help would be appreciated. :D

Anchorman

Anchorman- How are" tickets available from here" as you stated in the opener?
The purpose of this thread (ok, one of em) is to help secure tickets-well, I need help to get 12 tickets. Can you show me a link, or direct me in any way?
Thanks in advance. Mike J.:)

The purpose of this thread is NOT to secure tickets, it's to discuss the concert. Anchorman works for Coldplay's offical site and doesn't visit here, so questions directed at him are pointless. You can however try contacting Live Nation. This is what I could find at the Woodlands web site :

Group Sales
Most contemporary/rock/country/pop concerts do NOT offer group tickets. To check on a specific concert and group ticket availability, call Live Nation at 713-693-8600 and ask for the group sales department. Please note that the ticket price for these concerts generally is NOT discounted for groups.


Getting that many tickets "seated" together is gonna be impossible, IMO. If you truely need them all together, try one of the ticket agencies, but brace yourself for the cost, I can promise it will be most painful! You could always do lawn seating because lawn is general admission, so no worries about seats being together. You will just have to purchase in groups (of 4 most likely). No one is gonna be asking for lawn from the beinging of the sale, so you should be able to purchase all 12 lawn seats if you start buying as soon as tickets go on sale. Good luck.

[Mikejpss]

Texasluvsjonny-thanks for the info. Excuse my simplicity, am a newbie on this site. Your help is much appreciated and I will try your ideas.
Cost per ticket is a factor, however, sitting close or together is most important to us.
Thanks again for your help.
Anyone else?
I dont want to cycle or recycle revenge...........
:)

[Texasluvsjonny]

Reserved are gonna be over $100 each after service charges. expect to pay 4-6 times that if you have to use a ticket agency. If you can line up early, lawn is your best bet, will cost you less than $50 a ticket even with service charges.

I am trying NOT to use a ticket agency,which brings me back to my original posting- where can I buy tickets from the Coldplay site?
You know as well as I that the big ticket agencies buy out a concert within 5 minutes of the tickets going up for sale. They turn around the tickets to you and me for 50-100% profit minimum. In most states this is illegal.
I would just like to knwo where I can get logged onto that would allow me to buy 12 tickets when they go on sale, and eliminate the middle man.
The earlir posting by "Anchorman" id say that "TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE".I took that as tickets could be bought directly from Coldplay, or an authorized agency without the 50-100% increase, and (family,small,friend. groups coupld get a chance to buy.:rolleyes:
Short story here- its NOT the money so much as I am in making plans to fly to Dallas the night b4 the 22nd with one daughter to catch that concert, then fly to Houston the next day to catch the 22 july concert. :D
I just want to ensure we no1.-have tickets for all 12 of us
2. we are not held up by a crook that wants the 4-6 times face value you mentioned.
Thats all anyone following Coldplay as we do deserves, and judging from your posting, like you too.
The average Coldplay concert goer desrevs a right to find tickets at a reasonable price, just b/c one can not buy 100 tickets and sell the 97 they dont need doesnt mean they should pay 4-6 times the face value.
What are the avenues to "TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE" as posted by Anchorman, other than what you replied earlier?
Hope I have not pissed you off, I am only trying to find a few facts and indeed help everyone score on tickets without the scaplping.
Thanks for helping,
Mike J.:P

[Texasluvsjonny]

In Anchorman's original post the "here" portion links you to Live Nation. The band doesn't not offer tickets to fans themselves. They did sell tickets to fans on the X&Y tour, but for this tour you have to buy through either Live Nation or Ticketmaster for all face value tickets. And then ofcourse, both "auction" off their better seats. The Woodlands is tough because a large section of the better reserved area is pre-sold as corporate "boxes" and VIP sales. Last time they play these venues, I bought a Dallas pit ticket on Ebay for about twice the value and 8th row reserved thru Coldplay for Houston. I don't expect to ever see those prices again. If you don't want scalpers, be willing to settle for lawn is my best advise to you, because it's gonna sell out quick. For Radiohead I couldn't even get anything in the first level reserved as soon as the sale started. I expect the same here.

[yellow745]

Is it possible for me to get pit tickets(2) if I buy them during the pre-sale?

[sa_spurs_tx]

As for the presale, do we sign into live nation, input our presale password, then buy them? or do we do everything from the ticketrush website? Thanks in advance.

[yellow745]

lol thats what im trying to figure out, seeing we have no time to waste when purchasing. :D

[localola86]

^yeah, I was having the same discussion on the "North American pre-sale" thread...

[yellow745]

Okay people so I e-mailed someone from Livenation about the presale thing and this is what she said:

Dear Brenda,

Thank you for contacting Live Nation Customer Care with your inquiry!

You can just visit www.livenation.com and find the event you are looking for. There will be a Ticket Rush presale password box to enter the presale password.

Please respond to this e-mail if we can be of further assistance regarding this or any other inquiry.

Sincerely,
Tara
Live Nation Customer Care






Hope this helps:)

[localola86]

^That means that you can buy the tix thru LiveNation instead of Ticketmaster.
I dunno, apparently there have been issues with LN selling tix

[Mikejpss]

Yellow 745- big help, I will try that. Thanks for the info.
MikeJPSS

[bustlebatonrouge]

Looks like for this show, we'll be buying them through Livenation.com. I don't see a listing for the Houston show on Ticketmaster.com, so that's my best guess.

And yes, sign up at ticketrush.com (http://www.ticketrush.com) to get the password!!

[yellow745]

Okay so just making sure, we are purchasing these tickets through livenation directly right? Not ticketmaster?

[localola86]

^Probably since it's not listed on Ticketmaster

[bustlebatonrouge]

Okay so just making sure, we are purchasing these tickets through livenation directly right? Not ticketmaster?

Unless a link for it pops up on Ticketmaster between now and next Friday...we'll be buying them on Livenation.com :)

[localola86]

Yep, the tix for my town go on pre-sale the same day (Feb 20) :)

[supermanbbp]

so does any one know how to get the password? i signed up and everything on livenation, but it didn't give me any password.

[bustlebatonrouge]

so does any one know how to get the password? i signed up and everything on livenation, but it didn't give me any password.

Sign up at TicketRush.com to get the password that you will use at LiveNation.com. :)

[Andels]

I hope the same thing that happened in dallas doesnt happen to the houston show.

[Texasluvsjonny]

considering that ticket sites already have row J center on sale for $600 each, it will be the same here.

[cyyoungcear]

I bought Dallas tickets yesterday, they're 202 TT which isn't bad by any means, but I was still hoping for lower level seats.

This is ridiculous. Back in November, for the Toyota Center, I didn't have to do anything special, no pre-sale, no passwords, just at 10 AM on the 28th of June I clicked "Buy Tickets" and I got great seats. Like, if I was at a Rockets game, I would have been half court, 4 rows up. So for the concert, it was awesome. And again, I just paid my 250, and I done.

I'm gonna be pretty upset if I can't get lower level seats for the Houston show. :(

[supermanbbp]

i tried signing up, but it takes me back to livenation not ticketrush

[Angst]

Reserved seating $105.50 & 87.50
All general admission lawn seating $43.00

Preferred parking for this event is available at all Ticketmaster locations for $15 plus service charge.

with Amadou & Mariam and Kitty Daisy & Lewis

Gates open at 6:00 pm

what bothers me isnt the ticket price but the damn convenience and extra fees they add on the ticket price.

[yellow745]

Aww I hope it isn't impossible to get pit tickets:cry:

[Karistx]

My 5th show...I am stoked!

[Karistx]

Does anyone has the password yet? I signed up "I think" on ticketrush.com

[nobetternoworse]

So okay guys. What all do we need to get tickets for this coming Saturday? I feel like I need a "Gameplan."

I have the presale password from Ticketrush. At least I think I do. Why would they make us go to a separate site to get that? What else do we need? I'd really like to get some good tickets.

[localola86]

^Go directly to the Live Nation page for "Buy tickets" for the concert (be here before 10am and refresh close or at 10am)
It'll say "Live Nation presale", and next to it, a box where you'll write the Ticket Rush code.
Then proceed as usual (type of tix, best available, blah, security code...)

Presale is on Friday @ 10 am

FYI...
Searching for a single ticket will show you better seats than searching for 2 or 3 or more.
For 2 or 3 seats together, best offer will be first rows of the sections right after the closest ones (for instance, Row D of Section 201)
Most of the orchestra sections (the closest ones) won't be available. They'll go to auctions or special VIP packages)

[lisaw23]

Ya'll might try reading through the Dallas thread to get an idea of what you'll be dealing with this weekend. In the presale and general sale, no tickets were offered in the first 3 sections. Even in the presale. I'm sure someone else can answer this better that me, but I'm guessing the first 3 sections can seat about 4K people and there were NONE available. They were all set aside for auctions/radio stations/other promotions. It SUCKED. I'm not a novice concert-goer, and I hadn't seen anything like it.

I really hope it's not the same for you guys, that some of you can get decent seats, but please be prepared that even in the presale, they might only be offering average seats. And, if you want to go to the concert, then at least get the average seats, b/c in the general sale in Dallas, pretty much lawn seats were left on general sale day.

[thegunslinger41@yahoo]

Hey fellas! Viva la Houston! Lol! It's awesome that they are comming to the Woodlands Pav this year instead of Toyota Center. Last time I saw them at Toyota center I was very dissapointed. anyhow....anyone know if there is a presale password? Just needing to get 2 normal tickets for me and my girlfriend and I'm just tired of having to go through scalpers. Any help will be appreciated!

-Gabriel

[Technicolour TX]

I have seats in the upper sections in Dallas. Perhaps I'll try and see if the Houston seats are any better....

[Rocknthesuburb]

Does anyone know the presale password? Ticketrush is no longer working

[Squirtle03]

I wonder if I can talk my friends into going to Houston after the Dallas show... I don't think they would mind one bit, but their bank accounts might... :P Houston is more expensive than Dallas!!

[luckygirl1791]

Has anybody gotten their ticketrush weekly password yet? I thought the email came on Tuesdays, but maybe it's Wednesday this week...anyway, once I get it, I'll put it on here for everyone, seeing as we're all TRUE Coldplay fans competiting against what seems to be an army of scalpers.

And where did those ticket prices come from? I can't find them ANYWHERE on livenation, which is I thought was because they're waiting until 10 AM on Friday to shock us all with their outrageous numbers. Hmmm. I guess it's going to take a chunk out of my account, but it's still worth it!

OMG!! the pass word IS WEEKLY?!?!? I thought it was monthly.

[Davi017]

I tried clicking on the ticketrush link at live nation's website but as im sure most of you have discovered that no longer works. I've signed up with live nation but I havent gotten any kind of an email with the password or seen anywhere I'm supposed to go to get it. I've sent live nation an email but the response was some basic trouble shooting things that did nothing.


IF YOU HAVE THE PRESALE PASSWORD WILL YOU PLEASE POST IT!

[nobetternoworse]

I have found that Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0C004252E8768FFC) is selling the tickets (in addition to LiveNation.)

I really hate this, why must this be so confusing? Are there really multiple presale passwords? I have a TicketRush presale password, but I am now not confident it's right. And I didn't know there was a radio one as well (as seen on LiveNation (http://www.livenation.com/edp/eventId/403922/))

And why are there tickets already out on sale at different ticketing agencies? And for outrageous ($700 for ROW AA, WTF?) Why can't it be just as easy as last time, where simple being ready and on time gives you what you deserve, not tickets 'behind those we saved to get more money for.'

Ugh. [/rant]

ETA: I think TicketRush is no longer working because the Pre-Sale for several of the other concerts is over, though I'm not sure why. Don't take this as Gospel.

[sa_spurs_tx]

All I know is that Ticketmaster merged with LiveNation. Wasn't ticketrush part of livenation too?? maybe all three merged?? so confusing!

[luckygirl1791]

Hey!! Everyone!! Sorry, I think it is a monthly password. It's venue. "venue"!!
I got an email specifically about Coldplay because I listed them as a favorite artist. TOMORROW 10 AM!!! Good luck to all!!!

[Angst]

I really hope they sell pit tickets and not give them to bidding sites like Tickets Now or whatever.

[mrman78]

Ticketmaster now has it listed on their site, so i think you can purchase from either one... I prefer ticketmaster since they have a better checkout process. Well, good luck everyone... I think I'm going to try the presale, but if there arn't very good tickets (a la Dallas), I'll wait for the general sale and try my luck I guess... If all else fails, there is always stubhub and ebay, etc. Just "Don't Panic" :D

[LiquidSky]

yes I'm confused also but hopefully, I'll get good seats

[BG3eb]

Well, I'll try again tomorrow...if Dallas ends up being too pricey for me it might cut out my plan for Houston

go to ticketmaster this is what happened for my gig and livenation just linked me to ticketmaster so i don't want u to lose precious seconds...and if i were u do the presale..better than general

[cyyoungcear]

37 more minutes! I'm ready with the quick fingers! Actually, I'm using a new computer, and I haven't gotten used to the keyboard just yet. I might mess up the little password and then I'll be screwed! Ha, hopefully not.

[bustlebatonrouge]

Good luck everyone! And yes, go directly to ticketmaster.com. That's where I was routed from livenation.com.

[LiquidSky]

this sucks!

[nobetternoworse]

Yes, this does suck.

My first try gave me Sec 107 Row C. :(

Dang! It's almost $50 in "convenience charges." WTF?

[coldplay45]

Ya my first try it gave me sec 110, for $400
I'm just going to the laws seats.

[bustlebatonrouge]

We got section 103! Keep trying maybe?

[nobetternoworse]

I'm very sad we can't get at least the back rows of Sec 101-103. I really wish we could. I settled for mine. :(

[Karistx]

Section 107 row G

I wanted 101 or 102 or 103...oh well I am happy with these.....

ANyone get one of the first three sections?

[luckygirl1791]

Yes, this does suck.

My first try gave me Sec 107 Row C. :(

Dang! It's almost $50 in "convenience charges." WTF?

This is RIDICULOUS. I got the same thing on my first try, and I was FAST. Then it f*cked me over cause I forgot my password and such nonsense, "this email address is already registered" blah blah blah. I was too mad to pay $30 per ticket for "convenience charges" anyway. #@$*(@#$(*#(!!! What the hell??! Are fans not allowed to have pit tickets, or any good seats for that matter?????

[Mikejpss]

Section 107 row G

I wanted 101 or 102 or 103...oh well I am happy with these.....

ANyone get one of the first three sections?

Not sure of the seating layout, but my daughter and I were able to get 12 seats ( total) in sections 103,106 and 109. She tells me we are super lucky. ;)

I agree.

[luckygirl1791]

HEY GUYS! Anybody that's on! Quick advice, please! I just got ONE seat in row DD in section 103, dunno if I should take it...should I??!!

[jvas64]

Hey guys, I managed to get a pair in section 101, row BB, and a pair in section 108, row D. I will most likely just keep a pair and sell the other, now I just have to figure out whether I want to sit closer but further to the left, or about in the middle but a few rows back... :confused:

[LiquidSky]

take it! I keep getting 107 seats :(

[andrearizpe]

I ended up with Section 101, row BB, seats 1-3. I wasn't lightening fast, though, so I'm not even sure how that happened. Did anyone get section 102? That's what I was hoping for.

Oh, and the service and facility charges are absolutely ridiculous.

[nobetternoworse]

^ 101 is certianly closer. I think I wasn't fast enough either. :(

[Texasluvsjonny]

Oh, and the service and facility charges are absolutely ridiculous.You may be in a closer section, but all the way on the very outter edge. I got section 107 row K using the radio station password. If I can get something better in an auction, I'll sell for face value on here. Just have to ensure I am in the venue. Tomorrow will be more of the same.

[yellow745]

I got section 108 row v, and I bought them at school. Man this sucks!!!:cry:

[Texasluvsjonny]

take it! I keep getting 107 seats :(
I bought2 just in case. Tomorrow will be this same shit. :(

[GRANTmeawish1]

Never been to the Pavillion...

How solid of seats are Section 108 Row D?

[yellow745]

I would give anything for pit tickets!!!!!!

[Texasluvsjonny]

^ seats with low numbers are closest to the center in section 108. But the mixing booth is right between 107 and 108, so you may or may not be obstructed by it if you go seats 1 and 2

[nobetternoworse]

So I got a single ticket Section 103 row DD.

^ Pretty solid, you're not super close but you're not far. You're on stage right, so you'll see Guy rocking out.

[GRANTmeawish1]

Our seats are in the twenties so I think we should be fine.

[Texasluvsjonny]

I would give anything for pit tickets!!!!!! There won't be any pits at these shows. They will put chairs and sell seats in those areas. And I hope you are willing to pay over a $1000, because that's what they will most likely go for.

[LiquidSky]

how close is 104 and what's the radio code.. it won't give them to me!

[nobetternoworse]

I don't know what radio station had a presale. :-\

So now that I have my tickets, now it's just the not dying before the concert part I have to take care of. July!!!

[sa_spurs_tx]

First try, I was lighting fast, 2 tickets for section 107 row D 4-5. I Snatched them quickly then kept searching on 2 computers until about 15 minutes later I found 2 tickets for section 101 row Z 9-10...wow dont know how I pulled that off. haha I'm so glad I got my tax return last week!

[Texasluvsjonny]

radio password is : BUZZ

[Angst]

i hit buy tickets as soon as the thing opened but got really crappy seats. so im trying again tomorrow. :)

[lisaw23]

Sounds like ya'll are getting better seat options than were available in Dallas.
Be thankful!!

[Texasluvsjonny]

Sounds like ya'll are getting better seat options than were available in Dallas.
Be thankful!!Not really. Only back few rows of front section and back section/lawn.
So who has all those damn front section seats for Dallas because even the ticket sites have very few.

[Mikejpss]

Sounds like ya'll are getting better seat options than were available in Dallas.
Be thankful!!

It appears to me that ANY seat in the covered part of the arena is better than the lawn seats, especially in TEXAS DURING JULY ! Even though the concert starts at 7:30 pm, that is about sundown. I would look for 95 degree heat at concert start.
Dont even mention the wet stuff, so the covered seats really are better. Its all in perception. :laugh3:

[LiquidSky]

this sucks! Even for Florida I keep getting way in the back! Argh...

[Mikejpss]

I haven't been in North Houston for a while. Have they put the roof back since Ike? I am more concerned with July = hurricane season

dont know, havent been there for years my ownself. Perhaps someone else can chime in?
You are correct about the hurricanes- I had forgot about that issue which is real for Texas during July. Keep ur fingers crossed.

Can someone tell- Is the roof back on at Woodlands that Hurricane Ike took away? :o

[tayakd]

First try, I was lighting fast, 2 tickets for section 107 row D 4-5. I Snatched them quickly then kept searching on 2 computers until about 15 minutes later I found 2 tickets for section 101 row Z 9-10...wow dont know how I pulled that off. haha I'm so glad I got my tax return last week!

I guess it was better than the Dallas presale. We got tickets in sec 101 row Z seats 11-12. I think we might be seating next you SA_Spurs_TX. BTW we're also from San Antonio. Looks like we're going on a road trip....Dallas then Houston! :)
I'm thankful for the tix but they don't compare to the tix we had in November for the Toyota Center concert. I'm still psyched!

[andrearizpe]

According to the Woodlands Pavilion website, they have indeed replaced the roof. Apparently they added some more covered seats as well in the process.

And heck yeah San Antonio people! I'll actually be traveling from Center Point since I'm working at a camp, but still, San Antonio is my home!

[LiquidSky]

Lucky for you! I didn't get any Dallas tickets either.

[sa_spurs_tx]

awesome! So which seats did you have for Toyota Center?? I had like row 17 of the back section on the floor..not that good at all..

[cyyoungcear]

My girlfriend was able to get us 108 Row C 27-28 which is not bad. I'm glad to be going. I've kinda given up on getting lower level section seats on these shows. It seems almost impossible.

[luckygirl1791]

I finally ended up with 111 (that tiny section on the right) Row C 5-7. Hmmm. Not so terribly bad. But those friggin charges are still bothering me immensely. I know, I know, it's ticketmaster...but it's still outrageous! I bought the two others for my friends, who may not be willing to pay back the $100+ per ticket...I guess I could resell them. Gosh, this is depressing.

[LiquidSky]

yes, same here. I got 107 section tickets but we'll see how it goes tomorrow. My friend is gonna try to get us better seats tomorrow. I'm just happy I'm going.. we'll see... if it doesn't get canceled.

[coldplay45]

I just settled for the lawn seats. I was going to get reserved seats but they were crap and expensive while the lawn seats are crap and cheap :smug:

[Texasluvsjonny]

[Mikejpss]

awesome! So which seats did you have for Toyota Center?? I had like row 17 of the back section on the floor..not that good at all..

:angry:
I'm with you on the Toyoto Center floor seats. We had approx 10 rows of seats behind us to the end, so we were about as far away as you can get on the floor- it suked even at my height. ANY seats in the stands would have been better, wont make that mistake again. :\

[mrman78]

Well that WAS kind of crap! Ugh... I am taking a gamble and just trying again tomorrow... Compared with Toyota Center last year, the selection was awful. I got two seats for the November show in Sec. 105 row 6, right next to the stage - it was amazing! I'm not exactly expecting to be that lucky again, but I'd at least like to be in the lower section...

These presales can be hit and miss anyways, since they just have a pool of tickets and they aren't necessarily the best. I can't afford to buy a crap ticket then find out I could get a better one tomorrow! At least with the presale it gives you chances I guess...

I got the following offers, but decided to wait.. Some were fairly decent, so I hope I don't regret the decision:

Sec. 101, row X
Sec. 102, row DD and HH
Sec. 103, row X

I just hope I don't regret not taking the row X ones, since those were the closest I could get today...

The PIT is general admission for this show, so no seats... mmm.

I'm thinking I'll have some luck in the general sale. Since none of my (lame) friends what to go this year since it's in the middle of the week and at the Woodlands, I'm just looking for the one ticket I guess...

[tayakd]

awesome! So which seats did you have for Toyota Center?? I had like row 17 of the back section on the floor..not that good at all..

I had sec 122 row 3...right by the along black platforms and close to the stage. It was awesome!

ya floor seats are only good for the fisrt few rows. I was in the stands and The view of the guys and the lights were great and no heads got in the way. But I would have liked to have been a little closer.

[Angst]

PIT seats are really good at Cynthia Woods Pavilion. But the PIT is REALLY small so you'll be lucky to get tickets for it.

I'm hoping to get better seats tomorrow. For the Britney Spears concert comin up I waited for the general sale and got much better tickets than people in pre-sale. :)

[localola86]

I just settled for the lawn seats. I was going to get reserved seats but they were crap and expensive while the lawn seats are crap and cheap :smug:

That's the attitude! :smug:

My sister and I are doing the same for the Tampa show.
Heck, we're poor college students and proud :lol:

EDIT: got lucky on the general sale. Now must work in the summer to recover the ticket cost :dozey:

[nobetternoworse]

So I'm just browsing for tickets during this general sale, and I'm pretty much getting the same thing. I'd like to get Pit, since it's general admission/SRO, but I am not finding any. Anyone here get any?

No luck here either. The searches are taking 5 minutes andI keep getting lawn seats. I'm trying to get through ticketmaster on the phone but the wait is ten minutes.

[LiquidSky]

my first try I got lawn seats. I think everything might be sold out already. They might only have lawn tickets...:(

[nobetternoworse]

I am getting reserved right now. Don't give it the option to give you lawn, go 97.50 or the next one down, just not lawn (35)

BTW, I *hate* the security check words. Seriously!

[Texasluvsjonny]

I searched for 20 minutes without being offered a single ticket :laugh3:
*is glad she bought a set yesterday

[nobetternoworse]

^ Yeah, pre-sale (imho) was somewhat better. Keep trying guys, you can get relatively good seats!

Haha, anyone notice the "FULL PRICKE TICKET " that are for sale? Hmm...

[LiquidSky]

I did! But it's taking up to 5 minutes. This sucks...

[mrman78]

Damn, well my gamble didn't pay off, lol... That was even worse than yesterday, I'm really surprised! That has to have been the worst ticket selection ever for a concert on the day the tickets go on sale... I've never had that bad luck before :shocked2:

Oh well, I guess I should have gone with the Sec 102 DD seats I pulled up yesterday, but that's life I guess. It's crazy to think that the best I was able to pull up were those and Sec 101 and 103 row X (although these were on the way outer edge). To be honest, I love Coldplay, but I just don't have the doe right now to just be buying multiple tickets. Chances are you can resell them and all, but I don't want to risk that. The concert isn't for another five months, so I'll be saving and searching till then :D

I've found as it gets closer to the show and some people realise they cannot go, they sell them for near face value. Anyway, I'd rather pay a little more and get a better ticket when I have the cash in a few more months!

Ooh, yeah, and that was kind of sketchy how it said 'full pricke tickets' lol... and also if that stupid text we have to enter is supposed to stop scalpers, etc. how come they STILL get the good seats?!

[nobetternoworse]

^ sorry to hear that mrman78! Yeah, it sucks.

An interesting though, after several searches with other ticket agencies (stubhub, stubhsearch, etc) I am not finding any pit tickets! I'm surprised. Maybe they'll be released later? Have they been sold? I don't know...

I hope you guys all got tickets that will be satisfactory. Just remember though, if you were able to get tickets, you HAVE tickets to see one of the greatest bands in the world!!

What?! 102!DD?>! Are you crazy?> I would have lend you my card!! I don't know on whether to buy the lawn tickets for Dallas.. or just wait for more dates.:confused:

[mrman78]

What?! 102!DD?>! Are you crazy?> I would have lend you my card!! I don't know on whether to buy the lawn tickets for Dallas.. or just wait for more dates.:confused:

Yeah, I know, and they were aisle! I'm stupid :cry:

I just went on the theory of when I've tried to get tickets before, if you refresh you usually get better seats (I got row X in Secs 101 and 103, but they were on the outer edges, so not necessarily better). For November, this worked amazingly. My first try I got Floor E Row 14, then I refreshed and got Sec 105 row 6 - basically front row on the side! So it's a gamble...

Oh well, I have five months to figure it out, lol...

5 months to have it ready :p I'm just kinda disappointed cause they didn't pop up for me. Well good luck next time :wink:

[Angst]

I'm REALLLLLLY mad with the tickets.

I should've just gotten my tickets yesterday. I was getting better seats in the pre-sale.

I got section 106, Row R 28-27 and paid the SAME price people in the closer sections paid. I feel jipped. It should've been in the $80 range, not the $100 range!!! :(

[localola86]

^Angst, read several posts made by a member on the Mansfield concert thread. Apparently, he was able to get a refund for tickets that shoudl have been sold to him on the $80 range.

[Coldplayer11]

GUYS IM FREAKING OUT!!!!

i waited for this album for threee years just like everyone else. day in and day out i was at coldplay.com and i lived the days from the beginning to the release of the album. i was so happy when they released the tour dates last year and i wanted to go to the houston concert in November. and when november came my friends went and i didn't cause i didnt have the money. and what hurt was that they are not hardcore coldplay fans!!


THAT HAS ALL CHANGED!!!!!

i worked my butt off at work to raise money for this concert(im 16 btw) . and i now have the tickets right in front of me( i also paid for my mom and dad because they are loving coldplay also). i cannot emphasize how much this means to me!

this is just unreal. in 5 months my life will change and i will be with the hardcore coldplay fans that ive been wanting to meet ever since i discovered coldplaying.com. i hope to see many of u there!!

MY FIRST COLDPLAY CONCERT!!!!!!!!

Section 107 Row V Seat 17,18,19

I like this guy. He understands that he'll be there and that's awesome enough. I'll be there too! 108, Row C, 27-28

BUT, my Dallas seats are slightly better. :) 202 FF 14-15

[localola86]

^I'm not going to the Houston concert, but I understand how you feel.
I couldn;t go to their Tampa concert back in 2006 b/c I didn't have money. AND had to wait 2 loooong years to see then for the 1st time in Orlando. Took my brother (not fan, assigned driver) and my sister (fan). Totally worth the wait, and I had the luck of being in the section were they sang The Scientist. I didn't expect to see them that close, AMAZING!

[nobetternoworse]

^^^ Amen dude! Glad to hear that.

The greatest band in the world! (imho. ;))

How your seats are better in Dallas? 202 better than 108? :thinking:

[yellow745]

Yay my 2nd concert!! Im am stalking!! lol, only kidding, or am I??? :D

[localola86]

By stalking, do you mean being early at the venue, make posters, have a piece of outfit that's Coldplay or "Viva la Vida" related, meeting other Coldplayers, or waving at the roadies while you hang out around the venue early in the day?

[cyyoungcear]

How your seats are better in Dallas? 202 better than 108? :thinking:

I have tickets for both concerts in Texas. The tickets I have for the Superpages.com center are 202 row FF. For CWMP I have 108 C

http://www.livenation.com/venue/superpagescom-center-tickets

Check out the 3d seating chart. And then

http://www.woodlandscenter.org/2009_fac_seating_chart.pdf

That's for CWMP, they're both center, so they're good seats, but I'm a little closer in Dallas.

[coldplay45]

Hey we should all get there really yearly and listen to the sound check and stalk them:rolleyes:

[yellow745]

Hey we should all get there really yearly and listen to the sound check and stalk them:rolleyes:

Yes yes! I love that idea, who knows maybe something cool might happen:)

[coldplay45]

Something cool probably will happen. They allways say they write new music during sound checks so maybe we will hear new music. and maybe they will come out and meet us if we are lucky.

[yellow745]

Aww that sounds like a plan!! :D:D I hope that happens

[coldplay45]

If I ever met them I would be able to die happy.

We should have people all around the pavilion keeping a look out for them:cool:

[Karistx]

5 months to go!

[yellow745]

Totally! At the toyota center concert I met a guy who took pictured with Tom Yorke from radiohead, by waiting after the concert. He said there is "only 1 exit" from where artists can leave. Apparently it's true...

[coldplay45]

That is so cool, we need to find out where performers at the Cynthia Woods Pavilion exit, then just wait there. we should be looking all around the venue before the show(for the exit and COLDPLAY):D.

[luckygirl1791]

Oooh! Sounds like a wonderful plan! Since it's in the summer, I'm lucky enough to be off--I'll probably be hanging around the venue all day, should something indeed happen! Usually it's a school night or whatever at most concerts, and my friends/parents want to leave...yes, they are losers...but screw it all, this is Coldplay!!! I'm so freaking glad I got tickets from the presale, the public sale sounds like it was total crap! Sorry to all you guys who couldn't get tickets. And yeah, closer to the concert date, there are definitely some nice fans who won't be able to go and will take face value--this is how I got to go to my first concert, U2 at that, for about $100 a pop. Anyway, good luck! Only five months to go...

[sa_spurs_tx]

I guess it was better than the Dallas presale. We got tickets in sec 101 row Z seats 11-12. I think we might be seating next you SA_Spurs_TX. BTW we're also from San Antonio. Looks like we're going on a road trip....Dallas then Houston! :)
I'm thankful for the tix but they don't compare to the tix we had in November for the Toyota Center concert. I'm still psyched!

Looks like we got really lucky, I cant find many other ppl who got seats closer than 101 row Z. I did see 4 seats go for 900 dollars on section 101 row C..ridiculous.

[mrman78]

WAHOO!! I got a ticket :)

Section 102, row EE on Ebay! And I only paid $20 over face value :D

Yay for being given a second chance to redeem myself for being stupid and not getting the Section 102, row DD seat I pulled up in the presale. So sacraficing one row closer and $20 doesn't seem bad at all.

I guess my friends ditching me and not being able to come helped me out since I've been looking for the one ticket, lol. It's actually harder than I thought it would be, since most of the post-general sale tickets for sale are all 2 or above, so I snagged this one. Now I'll just keep a look out for even better seats over the next few months, but If I'm stuck with this one, I'll be happy.

As far as meeting the band, it's more likely to happen at the Woodlands than the Toyota Center due to the layout. I met Tori Amos TWICE there when I went with friends who knew about these meet and greets she does before the show. I know the venue has changed a lot, but there is an area to the left of the venue where the buses pull in. So unless this has changed, it might happen if you get there early to mid-afternoon!! They had set up a gate thing, and everyone just kind of lined up there...

I guess my friends ditching me and not being able to come helped me out since I've been looking for the one ticket, lol. It's actually harder than I thought it would be, since most of the post-general sale tickets for sale are all 2 or above, so I snagged this one. Now I'll just keep a look out for even better seats over the next few months, but If I'm stuck with this one, I'll be happy.

As far as meeting the band, it's more likely to happen at the Woodlands than the Toyota Center due to the layout. I met Tori Amos TWICE there when I went with friends who knew about these meet and greets she does before the show. I know the venue has changed a lot, but there is an area to the left of the venue where the buses pull in. So unless this has changed, it might happen if you get there early to mid-afternoon!! They had set up a gate thing, and everyone just kind of lined up there...
you got the buy it now one right? i saw the auction the day it started and i immediately thought to myself that whoever wins that is gettin a hell of a deal. im glad you won!

[mrman78]

Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm stoked. No, it was a regular auction - I wish it was buy it now , it would have been less tense, lol. I was sooooo surprised I got it at a regular price. I think it's because the auction ended in the morning when most people are at work, ha :)

Of course, I was at work, but had it up in the background, lol. I figured there would be a battle at the end, but I bid once and won!

[mshsm5142]

quick question.
,
do you guys know if roadies will still be upgrading seats? it happened to me last time and i got front row so i'm hoping for it again...

[mrman78]

I was wondering the same thing...

Also, do you think this concert will be the same format as the November one? I just don't see how the layout would work at the Woodlands - especially the B and C Stages. I do hope they have those little stages though, and I hope I'm near one, ha!

I don't think they are...

I remember reading somewhere that Coldplay was thinking of ways to like revamp their tour through the States. I guess they don't want the people who saw them last year to see the exact same show. Though I certainly wouldn't mind.:D

Anyway, uh yeah... they picked all ampitheatres as the venues for this tour... So... hmm....

Maybe?

but i think that's why it's impossible to get front row tickets; they're saving them all for upgrading maybe?

[nobetternoworse]

^ It's general admission/SRO for Pit so there isn't really 'front row' tickets persay.

No idea how you can get those!

If anyone finds how to buy PIT tix. please let me know. I am in need of 2 and possibly 4 for the PIT.................I know they will be expensive, but within reason (mine alone) they will be worth it. If someone knows please point me in the direction....:shocked2:

"Coldplay roadies explained that Coldplay purchases the first five rows of every American concert they perform then gives the tickets to true Coldplay fans that would energize the band to perform their best, fans who deserved floor seats priced as much as $1,000 a ticket. Who knew?"

Ouch, yeah that's the second to last row of reserved... but at least you are in the center section, so it definately could be much worse. Hopefully you will get upgraded - I would just keep a look out for semi-suspicious characters who look like they are scoping people out, lol!

Oh I will! I wish there was a way to get better seats..

[nobetternoworse]

Being in the covered section (generally) beats being in lawn, despite the higher prices we have to pay. I'm doubting that the roadies will be going into reserved seats, they'd probably venture into the lawn. Hopefully I'm wrong. I'm wondering if I need to dress up (in Coldplay attire) to catch their attention... Hah.

Yeah, I agree... especially since it will be July in Houston!! However, since she's at the very back of reserved, there's still a chance!

I was thinking the same thing. It would be just pure luck to get pit tickets

[mshsm5142]

I was thinking the same thing. It would be just pure luck to get pit tickets

for the november 18 show, my seats were all the way up in the 400s (really, REALLY sucky seats) and this time, i think they're lawn so yeah, i'm hoping for another upgrade

[Mikejpss]

Pardon my ignorance but what is :
an upgrade
a roadie
??????

Is it July yet. ? :laugh3:

[nobetternoworse]

Hey Mike no ignorance at all!

An upgrade is when some lucky fans receive tickets to better seats. For example, people in the nosebleeds were given front row tickets at the group's last Houston stop. Usually they require the lucky receivers to sing their favorite Coldplay song or similar trivia.

A roadie is part of "the road crew (or roadies) are the technicians who travel with a band on tour, usually in sleeper buses, and handle every part of the concert " according to Wiki. They basically do everything and make sure everything goes smoothly.

And it's not July. Haha!

[yellow745]

I will keep my eyes open for roadies everywhere!!!....hopefully they don't give all their tickets to people in the lawn. lol! I was so ripped off. I paid the amount for reserved seating and I am 1 row away from the lawn :(.... oh well "anything for Coldplay" :)

[heinzkrohn]

Yes I'm goinh. My first ever COLDPLAY concerts.

[Mikejpss]

Yes I'm goinh. My first ever COLDPLAY concerts.

:smug:
This WILL NOT be your last Coldplay concert. Actually my first was in 2003 (I think) with my daughter at the Saunger Theatre in New Orleans (50 miles from me). When she asked me to take her, I had never heard of the group. Upon leaving the concert I told her that "If Coldplay comes withing 500 miles of us, ever again, we would get tickets, no matter what. At 56 years old I have heard them all, Coldplay is in first place in my opinion.............CD's in my truck, my Corvette,my iPod,my computer....... they are evrywhere I go........:cool:
Since then we have been to 2 others including last November in Houston.
We now go as a group with all my daughters,daughter-in-laws, and anyone else in the family that wants. We have 12 tickets for the July Woodlands show. Really, I am like a teenager agian and can not wait to see them again. :laugh3:
You're gonna love them heinzkrohn............:D

Maybe you should just hang out on the lawn until the show starts since you are so close, ha. I bet you only have to show your ticket to get into each reserved section, but the lawn you prob just show it at the gate and sit. I am betting it will be lawn seats that get upgraded though. Think about it, the PIT is general admission and the lawn is general admission... They aren't going to want all these empty seats in reserved from the people being upgraded. On the lawn, you can't tell they moved... mmm, in a way it makes me want to have a lawn seat just to have the opportunity of being upgraded!

We shall see what the Roadies decide to do;). Well since the band is playing at many venues that have a lawn before they come to Houston, we can see who the roadies upgrade, that is if they upgrade.:\

[mshsm5142]

not true. i wasn't an oxfam volunteer at the november concert and neither was anyone around me. around 92 people got upgraded at the nov concert and i'm pretty sure none of them were oxfam volunteers.

[mrman78]

not true. i wasn't an oxfam volunteer at the november concert and neither was anyone around me. around 92 people got upgraded at the nov concert and i'm pretty sure none of them were oxfam volunteers.

I think she means the seats vacated by those who were upgraded were given to the Oxfam volunteers... since then there would be 92 empty seats. I was wondering if maybe they would only give upgrades to those on the lawn at the woodlands since there are no 'seats' per se. But it looks like that might not be the case :D

We really wanted to go to all three Texas show but we can afford the travel expense now :(

[Texansfan]

I'm a fairly new Coldplay fan and I'm thinking about going to this concert, but all my brothers wanna go, my dad decided he wants to come, and my cousin wants to come now also. Do you think it'll be worth it taking these people with me?

Also, one of my brothers is 10, and is fairly short, is there any point in taking him?
In addition, is there any recommended sites to buy tickets from, I found like $210/ ticket for Sec. 103 Row DD- Is that a good price?

Hope you guys can help me and thanks.

bought my tickets for houston before i knew there would be a san antonio show. i would much rather see coldplay in san antonio since it is home and they have never been here. would love to go to both shows but then i would have no money for U2 tickets. unfortunately, i have to choose one. paid $258 for two tickets. will round it down to $250.

[localola86]

I think someone posted about it on the Houston 2008 concert thread

maybe a newspaper article about Gwyneth staying at the Four Seasons in Houston, and some people spotting her at a nearby store (mind you, it must have been a fancy one :smug:)

EDIT: and that's all I can recall. But I would stick to "showing up early at the venue" and "staying for a while afterwards"

Since I am retired and not much going on, what are the chances Coldplay would hire me to be a "roadie" ???????????? :cool:
I would work for food/board albeit on a bus with midnight hours (seasoned to that with 35 years of shift work).
Hey, where do I apply? >.............................:lol:

I even checked for 1 ticket and I brought up 103 row F daang thats like only a couple rows back from the pit.

Yay! Glad you got an upgrade too! :D I saw that Sec. 103 Row F too, but it's the aisle seat on the extreme right edge. The Sec. 102 ticket was WAY better, even though it was two rows further back. It's not an aisle seat like my other one, but it's close (only three seats from the aisle), so I can deal with that :cool:

Only thing that annoys me is I wonder if they just held back the good seats? I mean nobody could pull these up in the presale and general sale. Then there were no tickets at all for a while. Then all of sudden these ones... It's so weird...

[tigermilk]

Well, I was going with my friends I went to the Houston show last year, but they can't go since it's mid-week and at the Woodlands, so I just got the one ticket for myself. Then one of the said they might want to go and could I see if I could get a ticket. That's when I found the new released tickets. So I bought the Sec. 102 Row H (since he knew we most likely wouldn't be able to sit together) and now I just need to find out for sure if he's still wanting to come now I have two separate tickets... LOL, confusing I know, but I wasn't going to miss the concert just because they couldn't go. I have no problem going by myself!

[mrman78]

so the 102 section are not next to each other? I mean.. the ones you are selling if you get to sell them..

No. It's just one ticket. I first bought the Sec. 102 Row EE way back. Then, with the release of these tickets, I got the Sec. 102 Row H. So, if my friend doesn't come, and I end up going by myself (like I orginally was doing since no one else could come) then I'll be selling my original ticket - the Sec. 102 Row EE. Sorry for the confusion!

[LiquidSky]

yeah.. you are still confusing me haha:laugh3: well let me know if it's a pair of tickets next to each other..:idea2: if you sell them..

Quick question: Does anyone here have pit tickets? i keep wondering if roadies will pass those out.

[luckygirl1791]

Bump. I second that question--how in the hell do you get pit tickets, anyway? I always thought it was impossible...but apparently people on here have gotten them...the best I could do for this show was front row of section 110. Ah, well.

[mrman78]

Just got an email from Ticketmaster saying the show has been moved up to 7pm...

PIT tickets have varied by show. For example, Dallas didn't even have a PIT initially, and now you can get tickets in the PIT four months after the pre-sale. I think the Houston show either haven't released the PIT tickets or they have already been sold/given to radio, etc. As of right now, you can't even get a ticket on ticketmaster, not even lawan. It's techically 'sold out' but of course you can still get the scalper tickets...

[nobetternoworse]

I am not 100% sure yet, but I may be able to sell 2 different tickets (both covered reserve) for this show. I am super excited about this show too... July 22 isn't too far away now!

[luckygirl1791]

Actually, row C of section 111...I've got three tickets for sale, message me if you're interested!

[jvas64]

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

i have section 103 row cc
if, of course, we dont get ripped off by the second-hand vendor we bought the tickets from.:whip:

[Texasluvsjonny]

Section 103, row F....we all know what F stands for. :sneaky:
Fuck me that's hot!

[mrman78]

I'm Section 102, Row H :)

[ImLovingGuyBerryman]

damn! i totally could have gotten much better seats if i hadnt been somewhere when the tickets went on sale. i wasnt able to go try to buy them until five hours after they went on sale.

:lol:@ angie's "fuck me that's hot"

[yellow745]

Don't wanna become incessant but I wonder who got pit tickets?

[Texasluvsjonny]

Could have had Pit for both Dallas and Houston, but went with reserved close for these reasons.
1. seeing 3 shows that week and need to pace myself
2. driving to Dallas day of, then back to Houston, so lining up super early not possible
3. July in Texas, no shade at these venues, no bathroom facilities, going to show alone, no one to watch my spot if I need to leave the line
4. Pit in Alpine that same week with Coldplayers

Ah, don't feel bad, I got my ticket in April... they released more seats and I just happened to be checking that day!

LOL, I'm doing the same thing as you Angie, maybe I'll meet you at one of these shows then. I saw who I thought was you at the San Antonio gig yesterday, but this woman wouldn't let me on the floor when I tried to come over to introduce myself, so I gave up :( Actually probably a good thing in case it wasn't you! :laugh3:

So is there no shade in the PIT?!?! and no bathrooms?!?! Oh well, Dallas is the only show I've been able to get PIT so I guess I'll have to suck it up... I'm not planning on being front row anyway, I will probably lurk at the back of the PIT, ha!

So when were the Houston PIT tickets available?

I think maybe I saw you in section 10 in SA. Not sure they looked kinda like the person in your avi. Well their camera did at least. :lol:

Oooh maybe you did then, lol, my avi kind of has me hidden behind my camera, but that just happened to be the time the chronicle took the shot :laugh3: At one point, I was the only person sitting in section 10 and I was wearing a white 'paint splatter' t-shirt on the left aisle of last row...

Oh, btw, I'm pretty sure YOU are in one of the Chronicle pictures from Houston last year!! I took a look at them again, and it's blurry, but I think you are there, in the 3rd pic :P

Here are the originals:

This is the one that was in the paper... That's me almost dead center! :P
