[rooney11]

The venue is confirmed for Molson Amphitheatre

[UWOtorontoboy]

Can't wait!

[Montreal]

CA $35.00 - CA $97.50

Is it outdoors? Capacity?

[miss_g]

Whohoo! Well at least they're stopping in my province :)...anyone know how to get the presale tickets? :)

Actually nevermind I just found it.

[UWOtorontoboy]

CA $35.00 - CA $97.50

Is it outdoors? Capacity?

The Molson Amphitheatre is outdoors...but Sections 100-300 are covered by a roof. Only the 400 Sections and lawn are exposed to the elements. Total capacity [including the lawn] for the venue is around 16 000.

[Technicolor Girl]

This is so exciting! I can't wait. It's not in NY, but it's the next best thing, and it gives me a good excuse to cross the border and visit an awesome city. :D

Anyone know how presale works?

[jonbenar]

Do you guys think that they'll add a second date? Molson Amphitheatre holds only a fraction of what the ACC holds, and they sold out there twice! They have 4 days of nothing before and after the concert I have a feeling they'll add a show...I'm hoping!

[busybeeburns]

its possible!

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

I generally assume Coldplay will play 2 dates in Toronto.
But nevertheless; THANK GOD they are back playing the Ampitheater! I had become so sick of The ACC.
My favourite of all 6 Coldplay shows I've been to has been there in 2003.
hee is nothing like Coldplay outdoors with my over price Molson Canadan there lol

[aunie]

I'm so excited!! :)
I missed out last time but def going this time around!!
Hmm, will there be pre-sales for this one?
Would the 200s cost around $97.50 or will it be slightly cheaper?

[jess_sparkles]

anyone know how the pre-sale works? I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to those things!

[eatmorechocolate]

what's the presale password?? does anyone know?

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

SIGH SIGH SIGH.

THEYRE NOT COMING TO MONTREAL THIS YEAR. :cry::cry::cry:


please add a date Coldplay, I beg of you.

[redcurry]

yes, i second or third the presale comment! ahhhhhh I am so excited for this! mostly because I promised my brother (who would never spend any money on a concert bc he's a poor student) that I'd buy him a ticket if they came again and he made the comment that it wouldnt happen anytime soon! I told him today about it and I know that at least a very little bit of him is excited!

yayyyyyy

[Bluejay]

I'm looking for the Toronto tickets price, but i couldn't find them...And how do you people buy tickets for te concert?
This time, i'm gonna do EVERYTHING that I can to go and see them :D:D

[murphy]

no montreal... so i'll probably do the trip to toronto then... especially coldplay with ELBOW!

[kraebel]

How do I get presale tickets for this show?!?!?!?!

[Technicolor Girl]

Does anyone know what happened to the Live Nation page? It seems to have disappeared...all the other shows are there, but not this one. I'm so confused.

[SuchARushOfBlood]

If they're doing eTalk again.... this time I'm getting a signature! :D

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

no montreal... so i'll probably do the trip to toronto then... especially coldplay with ELBOW!

J'espere qu'ils vont venir ici :(

[Krystyna]

You lcuky torontonians are so spoiled! :P

[marie/pims]

no montreal... so i'll probably do the trip to toronto then... especially coldplay with ELBOW!


Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do :D:D:D excited

[yellow_fever]

yeah i was wondering the same thing too!!!
where is the presale page !!??? or where do you buy tickets in general ??

[PeterED]

No luck finding any ticket pricing info or presale...

[Malcolm-Edge]

Surprised they arent doing ACC. Also saddened they arent doing a huge tour. Im likely going to buy a few and fly out from Vancouver.

Im on the fence. Last Time I saw them, it was outdoors and sucked. I may just spend a few extra dates with U2.

[Osaka Sun]

I missed both Coldplay concerts last year in Toronto, so there's no way I'm going to miss another this time.

And yeah, the LiveNation page for the event was there before, but now it's gone. Weird...

[miss_g]

I tried to reload the page I saw on how to get presale tickets but it's down now for some reason :stunned:. I'll post the link once it's back up again!!

[UWOtorontoboy]

Do you guys think that they'll add a second date? Molson Amphitheatre holds only a fraction of what the ACC holds, and they sold out there twice! They have 4 days of nothing before and after the concert I have a feeling they'll add a show...I'm hoping!

Well the ACC and the Molson Amp hold around the same amount of people when it comes to concerts (16 000)...but I do think there will be a second show. Maybe even a third.

[aunie]

This is so weird, just yesterday, there was ticket info on ticketmaster.ca about the concert...but it's not posted anymore. :S

[Logarithm]

This is shaping up to be something of a summer adventure for my friend and me, so I hope the presale business sorts itself out. :/

[jonbenar]

Yeah what happened to the concert, it's not on LiveNation or even ticketmaster.ca? A bit strange...Maybe their changing some dates around like last time

[Ziggy]

This is so weird, just yesterday, there was ticket info on ticketmaster.ca about the concert...but it's not posted anymore. :S

On Friday Feb 6th, a story hit the Candian media that Springstein fans and the Boss himself were berating Ticketmaster for unfair ticket selling practices. Ticketmaster owns a reseller, Ticketsnow, and when Ticketmaster sold Of Springstein tickets out in a few minutes, there were a multitude of tickts available on Ticketsnow, at a huge mark-up, of course. Ticketmaster is also trying to merge with LiveNation. Here's a link to a CNN story about this story:
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/02/06/ticketmaster.livenation.reax/

Looks like Ticketmaster has reacted to the outcry and took down their early lisitngs.

I'm assuming that Coldplay tickets will be posted on Ticketmaster and/or Live Nation on Friday Feb 13th as announced. In the meantime, there are other re-sellers with tickets listed for sale. One is "jumbotickets", but I'm guessing their prices are inflated too (can someone please let me know if that guess is correct?).

I really dislike Ticketmaster and Live Nation, horrible service! But the thing is, why are US concerts still listed, if this is what they hope to do? They have sales that are to be open on Feb 13th, just like the Toronto's show. This is absolutely insane.

I agree, and I'm confused too. I'm just speculating (reasonably, I think) about the connection between the controversy and the disappearance of Coldplay tickets from their site. There is probably a corporate difference between Ticketmaster Canada and Ticketmaster USA, and of course the regulating bodies may be respondiong differently in the two countries. But we're not alone and thousands of fans have made their feelings known about this aggravating situation to Ticketmaster (you can, too, if you like - I did) since the Springstien news broke on Firday.

I just want to see Coldplay at reasonable (and not artifically hiked) ticket prices!

I think we just need to be patient and keep checking the ticket sales sites, especially Live Nation.

If I learn anything more definitive I will post it here, and I ask that anyone else do the same.

Fingers crossed,
Ziggy

It's a great speculation, it links together very well. As you said Ziggy, we just have to be patient and keep checking the sites. I will also post if there is anymore information! I am for sure letting Ticketmaster know about my feelings.

[redcurry]

hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question but does anyone have any experience with this venue? I was looking at the seating chart and it shows a front pit which I am assuming will be GA? Is it on grass?

Anyone have any info on this? I'm mostly wondering because I will be driving into town and wanna know how early I'd prolly have to get in there by to get a good spot if its GA!

Thanks a bunch

[Ziggy]

The lawn area at the very back will be general admission. The closer to the stage, the better the seats here. Section 4 and all lawn seats are under the open air. Other lettered sections are under a roof.

[cinderella]

I'm just mad that come friday and saturday, ordinary people like me will be lucky to get any tickets at all---they're going to sell out in minutes because the ticketsnow creeps (among all the others) already have their hands on the majority. Ticketsnow is showing Coldplay tickets for sale--how can they justify this? I wish there was another way to buy tickets.

[redcurry]

thanks for the info ziggy and I completely agree cinderella. I don't understand why all of these sites already have tickets that are being sold at overpriced and inflated rates. its ridiculous.

[localola86]

^^^^keep checking Ticketmaster.ca

If dates are settled, all you need for pre-sale is the Ticket Rush password (just make sure it applies for this venue).

I tried to buy tix for a Jack Mannequin's concert to see how the Ticket Rush thing worked, and this what happened:

Apparently, you have to go thru TicketRush 1st.
On the concert listed, the "Remind me" button should change into a "Buy Tickets"
Click that button, and it asks you for the password, then it sends you to Ticketmaster for the "LiveNation pre-sale."
Ticketmaster will ask you for the TicketRush password when looking for tickets.

Both JumboTickets and TicketsNow are selling tickets for ridiculously inflated prices, and I would guess other sites are doing the same. What I would like to know is how they can get tickets before they even go on presale, especially JumboTickets which doesn't even appear to be affiliated with Live Nation or Ticketmaster. How can this possibly be allowed?

Nothing yet on TicketRush...but does anyone know where to find the password, for when we need it? Assuming that we will need it, that is...

This is extremely aggravating but I'm going to try to stay optimistic and hope that everything will work itself out and we'll be able to get tickets. It looks like Ticketmaster can't afford to get itself into any more trouble. ;)

I just checked with Jumbo tickets and they're selling section 101 tickets at $899 each! it's disgusting, how is this a legitimate business? these guys don't deserve to make a penny. i wish we could buy tickets directly through Coldplay, that would be a perfect world.

[kehoe_out]

I have to go to this concert and i've never been to a big concert before so I need to know how this whole pre-sale works and how i'm gonna get good tickets......how much approx.

[Technicolor Girl]

See my latest post on the "North American pre sales???" thread

Ohh ok. I signed up for Ticket Rush then didn't log back into the site. Thanks! :D

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

This is insane ticketsnow has lawn tickets up for over 300 bucks?
How in the world they can justify having tickets already I don't know, I guess ticketmaster is just laughing at everyone right now. This is really pathetic. Even they have become a scalper.

Also for those who asked about the venue. Seats are great and close, but there is a great vibe on the lawns. I always have a great time up there.

I had always thought that TicketsNow and JumboTickets don't have the tickets yet, but when they go on sale, they hope to get those seats and then send them to the consumer when they do. So the consumer pays for it and then has the worry that they won't even get the actual seats. I might be wrong.
Oh, I emailed ticketmaster just to see what's going on with the Toronto date, hopefully they reply back with an okay answer.

[drevil0208]

Coldplay.com and some other sites still show "Venue TBC". Is it definitely Molson Amphitheatre?

[gotcheese2768]

hey i heard somewhere that when sites like ticketsnow post tickets before the actually show it is because they don't actually have them and are waiting to and hoping to get them...

[jazz-cigarette]

why does this have to be so confusing?

[sassoon]

You guys have answered a lot of my questions...but yet managed to confuse me at the same time! LOL!


Seriously though, thanks for some of the information. I didn't even know it was going to be at the Molson Amphitheatre b/c the website doesn't list it yet. I'm sorry if this has already been asked but how did you guys find this out?

[localola86]

hey i heard somewhere that when sites like ticketsnow post tickets before the actually show it is because they don't actually have them and are waiting to and hoping to get them...

Yep, it is all about speculation! :veryangry2:

[SwallowedInSea]

I am still toying with the idea of going to this show... of course it is very far away from Long Island but I will have my house in upstate NY which is sort of halfway between here and there. I doubt it will work out because I'd have to miss too much work but I haven't given up on the idea just yet!

[redcurry]

I know this isn't about toronto, but I feel like this is an amphitheatre tour or something. anyone think they're gonna tack on an extra date in a montreal amphitheatre sometime during the break after the toronto gig?

[svenner885]

this is actually getting ridiculous! I have this feeling that they're going to post the presale sometime while I'm at school or something.

[Montreal]

well dont go to school

[redcurry]

this is actually getting ridiculous! I have this feeling that they're going to post the presale sometime while I'm at school or something.

I feel your pain, I have a midterm on Friday until 10am if they do go on sale then...but I'm of course going to get someone to do it for me. sucks though.

[kehoe_out]

This is a bit confusing, its saying tickets are like $200, $300 but the tickets aren't on sale yet......lol where is a good place to get the tickets on the 13th ticketmaster or whatt

[miss_g]

I can't find anything about the Canadian visit in T.O. It's now TBC and the presale is in two days. Ohh the confusion. I hope it's confirmed soon!

[sassoon]

*bites nails...fidgets nervously*

:confused:

[Mikemoe23]

Here is my guess and assumptions. If you go on the Coldplay Link you will notice that there are dates missing between the toronto show, the show before the toronto one and the show after the toronto one. My guess is that they will do 2 performances at the Amphitheatre. I can't imagine them doing just 1 after doing 2 sell out shows at the ACC last summer.

So here are my tips.
A) Be aware for a second on-sale time if the concert sells out within minutes (which it will).
B) GO on ticketmaster just before 10, open up the purchase screen and even though it says (tickets are not on sale yet) around 9:59 and 55 seconds start hitting your F5 (refresh button). Do not hit it too many times or else you won't be able to purchase seats. (it will say you have refreshed the page too many times.)
C) The Pre-sale password is VENUE through ticketrush.
D) go on google and search free pre-sale passwords, and it will have coldplay password.
E) Never buy tickets off of Ticketsnow.com, Jumbotickets.com stubhub.com or anything like that. go to craigslist, kijiji.ca or even e-bay have cheaper seats. also try www.etorontotickets.com they do price their tickets at a premium however not as expensive as other ticket places.

And for ticket prices to the event, I have been doing research of the US city dates and their prices, and they have been around 100US for the most expensive (face value), i imagine the Canadian city prices to be around 120+ service charges for the most expensive, with grass seats going around 60-80.

As for the Amphitheatre as a venue, man there is nothing like being outdoors in the summer time watching one of the hottest bands on the planet.

I hope that helps everyone out.

[kehoe_out]

Ok so ticketrush is the best place to go then just refresh the page a couple times and click the best tickets.....lol ok thanks by the way this really helped me out,

Thank you, that definitely helps. Looks like I'm going to be skipping class Friday morning so this whole presale business had better be worth it.

The fact that it's on Friday the 13th kind of worries me, however...

[kehoe_out]

Hey should i join the ticketrush site or whatever

[sassoon]

Hey should i join the ticketrush site or whatever


Yes...and it's free. :)

I detest Ticketmaster with a passion. They always do this! Confuse everyone at the last moment. My friend said for major bands, they don't list the dates before but on the day the sale happens there is info. AH!

I wish someone could create a website even EMI and sell the tickets of the artists they have contracted with.

[Mikemoe23]

Thank you, that definitely helps. Looks like I'm going to be skipping class Friday morning so this whole presale business had better be worth it.

The fact that it's on Friday the 13th kind of worries me, however...

Yeah i mean you could miss school, the regular on-sale will either be saturday or monday. They only release a certain amount to pre-sale so it's not like all tickets will be released.

Also to a previous post, the reason why there are tickets up on websites sometimes before they are on sale to the general public is because individuals who are season seat holders for the maple leafs or raptors and are gold or platinum season seat holders will get access to a pre-sale before the general public.

[rooney11]

is there gonna be a pre-sale limit, such as 2 tickets max. per person?

[jonbenar]

Just a few things...people cannot have tickets before the concert comes on sale because the venue is not the ACC, so no one holds seasons tickets. Also, just to clarify, (although it's no longer posted on ticketmaster or Live Nation) tickets were supposed to be going on sale friday, not saturday or monday. The pre-sale would have to be thursday. Unfortunately I cannot find any info on this pre-sale people are talking about on ticketrush...Toronto is not one of the listed concerts. I personally think something is up with the Toronto date, because it is the only one missing, and the only one that had the venue as TBC, when ticketmaster listed the amphitheatre...maybe they're changing the date, or adding a date, I don't know, this is all speculation, I just find it all very weird...

This whole mess (as it seems to me to be) is a very un-Coldplay experience. I'm not a concert-goer but MUST see Coldplay and as Toronto is the only Canadian date announced, I really want tickets. It's weird to me that whatever is going on corporately, we, the fans, are the ones who are affected adversely.

I just have to take a break from it for a while to keep my sanity.

[jonbenar]

I don't think that tickets will go on sale Friday, they can't just release tickets without having any warning to the population of when tickets are going on sale, they want there to be a hype where people talk about the sale date. If someone is not a Coldplay crazy fan like us, they don't know about the concert because it's not listed anywhere. Also, they have plenty of time to sell the tickets, they could do it next month or even the month after that and it would still be plenty of time before the concert. If anyone has any info on this dilemma, please let us know!

[kehoe_out]

If the tickets don't go on sale fri then who know s when they are going to be on sale:S this is unreal right now

[Bluejay]

please, let me know if i understood...:confused:
To get my tickets i have to go on ticketrush and get an account, so then friday i have to but the tickets online? But why are all the other ticket's prices already there accept the ones for Toronto? What if I want to knoe the prices right now?

If you want to get a presale code you have to sign up to TicketRush.com.

We have no idea why all the other ticket prices are listed and not the ones for Toronto, but we're speculating that's because details aren't finalized.

Again, we're not even sure if the presale happens on Friday the 13th or not, so as you can see there's loads of confusion. :thinking:

[Ziggy]

Just noted this on BuyEvents.com: Molson Amphitheatre July 29
Section: 102 Row: N $1,425.00 US

Good Luck !! to all Coldplayers for tomorrow and Friday as we all try our best to get tickets.

[naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah]

[marie/pims]

This is crazy.How do we get Toronto tickets?:shocked2:

It's not listed anywhere anymore

[jonbenar]

Wait, if tickets originally were supposed to be released on Friday (13), then wouldn't the pre-sale be a day before? It's not like all the other dates where tickets are on sale on Saturdays, and the pre-sale happens on a Friday. This is way too confusing, and I don't think ticketmaster will just all of a sudden sell tickets on that date without posting it on their website for at least a week. All these other sites do not actually have the tickets to sell, ticketmaster is the only licensed distributor. No one seems to know anything about this problem, it's kind of annoying.

[Bluejay]

EVERYTHING is annoying, here.
Jeez.

Er, hi, this is my first-ever post. :)

I'm looking to go to my first-ever Coldplay concert in Toronto, and I'm confused OUT OF MY MIND. The posts here have been a fantastic help, but I'm worried about getting ripped off, and I'm worried about tickets selling out in .5 seconds. :\ Any advice for a first-timer?

Hmmm, if I were you, I'd get ready for there to be a presale tomorrow (although it's unlikely...I'm going to do it anyway) and to for sure check on Friday for ticket sales. I also sit by the television and have it on the weather channel so that I can refresh my page right at 10am. I also have things like my credit card number written in word so that I can just copy and past it when the time comes haha.

GOOD LUCCKKKKK


Also, does anyone know about the seating? I went to check out the 3d seating plan and first row (yeah right, as if I'd be lucky enough to get that) seems like all you see is the bottom of the stage. And, anyone have any guesses as to where the "c" stage will be (if there is one?)

Why thank you! Unfortunately I won't be able to get to a computer tomorrow until after 2:30pm EST. But Friday I'll be available almost all morning. :D

Anyway, I'm so nervous. Thanks for the tips!

Oh, question. What exactly is presale? It's kind of confusing.

[redcurry]

A presale is when a certain amount of tickets are sold before to those who have access to it (using a presale code often given out in promotion of say, a company's services). The presale is of course as you can tell, sold before the rest of the tickets go on sale to the general public. When they came to Ottawa, I was able to get really good tickets because of the presale (they're not all great but I do believe that most of them are pretty good). You can get some more info if you go check out the thread on the North American Presale.

And no prob! I am always nervous when ticket buying time comes! also, if the site (like ticketmaster for example) requires you to put in info (which they will) you should sign up for the site. that way all your info is on there when you log on and buying tickets is much faster.

cheers

[krobby]

How fast do you think the tickets will go?
We want to be near the front-ish.

So you joined the "I'm going to make a coldplaying account to find out info about the show" bandwagon too? :D If we don't get tix I'ma cry. Read through this little topic thinger for the tips I found.

Wow, thanks again for all your help. Is it reasonable to think that, for a show as big-deal-ish as this, I can get 3 good seats? Or will it be massively swarmed? :inquisitive:

[krobby]

haha, hiya Neen. ^_^

Okay, I am extremely confused.

On buyevents.com, tickets are only for sale in pairs. Is this normal? Is this site credible, or should I stick with ticketmaster?
Where can you see a diagram of the venue's layout?
Also, when the heck are they going on sale on Friday?

I'm veryyy anxious about this & any answers are much obliged! :)

[rooney11]

i was listening to the radio today, edge fm, i believe it was, they were saying something about the concert being re-announced and confirmed later in this month, therefore tickets will go on sale at a later date, this would make sense, but i am not 100% sure, I will wait for more news and be there looking for tickets come friday morning

[redcurry]

When I bought tickets for the presale earlier this year, the max was 2 tickets per person (which kind of sucks). I had a bit more time to fiddle with the presale--when I wasn't satisfied with the tickets I got, I rejected them and did this a few times until I got ones I was happy for but then again, it's a risk because you don't know if they're going to sell out. I'm thinking since this is Toronto, tickets will go quickly. For the general sale the max will prolly be around 8 tickets per person (at least in Ottawa it is). Again, you can take risks for that but I think that the good tickets will be gone pretty fast if you don't snatch them.

As for Krobby, I think you should stick with the company that is in charge of it just in case (ticketmaster or liveation). I'd rather just wait until the day tickets go on sale with a reputable site then take any chances. If things don't fall into place, I've found that you can get pretty decent deals on ebay (paying maybe 20% or more if you're lucky). Of course, only get them if they have good feedback!

I searched molson amphitheatre and went to the main site-- you can check out the 3d seating plan which is pretty helpful.

and rooney, thanks for the info!

[krobby]

Thanks guys!
Hopefully this'll all work out! Fingers crossed. :)

I hope that's the case. I mean I still don't see anything on Coldplay's official site or on Live Nation regarding the Toronto gig.. so maybe they're rescheduling it? Hard to say, but anyway, yes please keep us posted if you hear anything else!! I'd really like to try and get tickets! :D

[llamagesicht]

Krobby and I have pestered the Oracle plenty of times for info too. ;)

[KAC]

Hey I'm new here too but a long time Coldplay fan, and when I saw that there was a thread about the Toronto concert I thought I would share the info that I have. So I called ticketmaster and asked about tickets and they said that they have no information about what is going on so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

[jaszypoo]

We'll see what happens tomorrow. Hope i get a couple if it indeed goes up.

[vale11]

hey this is my first time writing! and i have never been to a coldplay concert... i was wondering where i can buy tickets fridays and if anyone knows anything about the presale tickets tomorrow? thanks

[jaszypoo]

It's been discussed in this thread, vale11. Lots of speculation :dozey:. hehehe. I'll be sure to be on my toes 10am tomorrow morning just in case something does come up.

I missed them at the ACC and I can't afford to miss them now! Ahhhh.

[sassoon]

Do you guys really think that they could start the presale tomorrow? I mean, with no news and no confirmations, would they really do that? :shocked2:

[marie/pims]

Do you guys really think that they could start the presale tomorrow? I mean, with no news and no confirmations, would they really do that? :shocked2:

mmm.I dunno.I don't think so.It's just weird that there is been no info or what so ever from their part.

[jaszypoo]

mmm.I dunno.I don't think so.It's just weird that there is been no info or what so ever from their part.

My thoughts exactly. No info, no links, no news with the presale presumably in a day or two? Weird.

[TSmith]

For what its worth though, Coldplay.com still has the show listed for the same date as before on the front page as well as the Tour section...that being said, the link from the Toronto date goes to the LiveNation site where, as we have all noted, there is no Toronto date listed.

I can't imagine the boys would cancel the TO show altogether given their known affection for the city (and their popularity here that promises they will sell out in a matter of minutes), so I am just going to assume they will be rescheduling, while still hoping tomorrow.

[faithworld]

This is just plain absurd. LiveNation, TicketRush and Ticketmaster all had ticket info available on their sites 3 days ago but now there's nothing there. Coldplay.com has links to the ticket sale pages for every 2009 show EXCEPT Toronto! What the heck is going on? I've seen Coldplay in concert 8 times now and have never had as hard a time getting tickets as this time around. SO FRUSTRATED!!!

I think maybe it's a venue thing and they have to change it.They should do a field thing.I went to Radiohead in Montreal and it was on the small island just next to the city and it was brilliant.That's where they have festivals.Coldplay should do the same.

[TSmith]

Great call; they could potentially move it out to Toronto Islands to account for a bigger crowd. Promoters have used it for Virgin Fest in the fall the last several years, so it could work well.

[jaszypoo]

Looks like there's nothing going on today :) Only 3 gigs up on the presale list for today(Chula Vista, CA, Raleigh and Charlotte, NC)

Let's see what tomorrow brings!

[sherola]

Hopefully this clears up some confusion for everyone!

I actually called LiveNation yesterday afternoon to find out what was going on regarding ticket sales for the Toronto show, because the info was posted and then taken down. The lady I spoke with said that the venue is not confirmed so tickets for the show will not be on sale tomorrow.

I asked if they had a rough idea about when things would be confirmed, but that's all the info she had.

[marie/pims]

ok.cause I'm at school and can't really buy tickets right now
Thanks for the info!

[jaszypoo]

Let's all bombard the Oracle with questions regarding OUR gig . :)

[mir118]

sounds good, what is the email address?

Thanks so much for that! I feel much better now that I know what's going on, and now I don't have to skip class tomorrow! Not exactly sure if I'm happy about that however...but I guess we'll just have to be patient and keep checking the site until the venue is confirmed.

[kehoe_out]

OKKK this is getting really frustrating when are they going on sale does anyone have even a clue??

[edaire]

Please explain to me how I can get presale tickets? I have been actively looking on the Live Nation site daily and it's still not even showing up as an active event?!?

According to coldplay.com they are to go on sale tomorrow morning but I don't see anything on Live Nation or Ticketmaster to confirm. Help!

Thanks :)

[marie/pims]

Read explanation above :)

[sassoon]

Did anyone notice that the main page here states that the presale for Toronto was suppose to be today? :inquisitive:

[norrish]

Was there a pre-sale...found info after but seems like I missed the boat!? Anyone know....PLEASE!!! Did anyone get tix for Toronto?

[jaszypoo]

Was there a pre-sale...found info after but seems like I missed the boat!? Anyone know....PLEASE!!! Did anyone get tix for Toronto?

No presale for Toronto yet. I was awake this morning at around 9-10AM. Nada! :laugh3:

[norrish]

ahh...I see...we're all in the same boat!! Please post any info as soon as you get it...much appreciated!!

[sassoon]

No presale for Toronto yet. I was awake this morning at around 9-10AM. Nada! :laugh3:


Then why does the main page for Coldplaying.com say that the Toronto presale was Feb. 12TH (today)? Confused. :stunned:

[TSmith]

The email this morning from Coldplay Messenger still listed the Toronto show as Venue TBC...so there is further confirmation that they won't be on sale tomorrow it would seem.

[jaszypoo]

Then why does the main page for Coldplaying.com say that the Toronto presale was Feb. 12TH (today)? Confused. :stunned:

Most likely a typo. Or it was originally scheduled for the 12th but they're still trying to finalize the details. I was on ticketrush, ticketmaster.com/.ca and livenation this morning. There was no event page for the gig nor any presale info. :shocked2:

The venue is shown as TBC, to be confirmed!

And the waiting game begins... or rather, continues. ;)

[yaya2646]

i just called live nation also and i was told that coldplay has not decided on the venue yet so they don't know when tickets will go on sale
she said just to keep checking the live nation site
this sucks

[busybeeburns]

The venue is confirmed for Molson Amphitheatrein that case where is the confirmation found Rooney?

[jazz-cigarette]

CHECK OUT THE NEWS REAL ON COLDPLAY.COM!!!!!!!!!

[jazz-cigarette]

from coldplay.com

Good evening. Coldplay's show in Toronto on 29th July was due to go on sale tomorrow (13th Feb). However, due to delays with being able to announce the venue, the on sale date has now been moved back to 27th February (and we'll be confirming the venue before that).

Anchorman

[Mikemoe23]

I would refer primarily to the official coldplay website, I received the coldplay news letter today and it say TBC.

On a side note (Noted towards everyone) if everyone took the time to read previous posts, then they would not need to ask "whats the deal, whats going on with pre-sale etc etc" Read all previous posts because you will get your answer. And because these are "die hard fans", someone will post information as soon as they know. I really hope they do not re-locate to Toronto Island, i prefer reserved seating.

Also i went on the pre-sale for one of the US venues and the pre-sale max for tickets was 4.

[busybeeburns]

main site updated :)

[amyjwatson]

ok, so then the toronto show details are all up in the air now? i have been religiously keeping up to date with the newsletter and coldplay.com but the information keeps getting changed so frequently it's hard to know what is the latest true info! venue-wise.

i hope it ends up at the amphitheatre because i saw them there in 2003 for rush of blood and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. gen. admission floor is the best for that venue and i really hope they don't end up going back to the acc since they always end up there :P

so tickets are now pushed back to being on sale on 27 february?
can someone post when they know more details about a toronto presale?


thanks for all the help clarifying things guys.
i have been a diehard fan since 2001 but have only recently joined coldplaying.com forums and realize now i should've been here long ago! this is a great place for true fans helping fans :)

I would check back next week sometime on ticketmaster.ca My guess is that they will have something up by next friday (the 20th). and the ticketrush password for the Month of February is "venue". I tried it today through live nation and through the ticketmaster.com website for the san diego event and it worked. The weird thing was through live nation there was only a pre-sale limit of 4, and through ticketmaster.com by putting in the ticketrush password it was a pre-sale limit of 8. So who knows what it will be for Toronto.

[jaszypoo]

Phew.

Everything's Not Lost. :)

[amyjwatson]

thank you mikemoe!!!
awesome, you're going to SD...if only my uncle still lived there i'd go too :P

damn i'd love to do a huge roadtrip for this tour. i have a car i always use for long distance concert trips and coldplay is one i have yet to go super far for, even though i've seen them several times. i'd love to go to the boston show!

this postponement of the ticket on-sale date is a blessing for me because i'll be able to get a bit more money back on my credit card...still some remaining christmas charges on there!:shocked2:

anyway thanks again. everything's not lost indeed.
hopefully the presale situation comes through for us canucks!

[Ultravioletlight25]

So happy we finally have some news about this!!

[rooney11]

in that case where is the confirmation found Rooney?

Z103.5, a radio station confirmed it and stated that they be giving away free tickets etc.

However I found this, tickets go on sale on the 27th

"Good evening. Coldplay's show in Toronto on 29th July was due to go on sale tomorrow (13th Feb). However, due to delays with being able to announce the venue, the on sale date has now been moved back to 27th February (and we'll be confirming the venue before that).

Is there going to be a presale and if so whats the password. I already got screwed out of Flight of the Conchord tickets last week because they sold out in presale I dont want to get screwed for Coldplay.

Anyone know?

Once again the coldplay tickets will go on sale on the 27th, presale will probably go on sale the day before or around that week. Stay tuned to this thread as more info. becomes available

[busybeeburns]

Have Z103.5 updated their website in any way re ticket giveaway?

[Osaka Sun]

Are pre-sale tickets the way to go for this?

I have no idea how pre-sales work for concerts and it's so confusing because of all this venue bull....

EDIT: And what's this with the Z103.5 giveaway?

[TF5092]

Any presale information is appreciated. Have tickets already been released? I have searched several private ticket sites and they are selling tickets in the 300-400 section for well over $400 which is ridiculous.

[Surly]

I've been a member here a long time, but never really posted - I didn't have anything to offer other than my love of Coldplay's music and those posts can get old fast.

I do feel compelled to post now regarding pre-sales and people freaking out over companies having tickets.

NO TICKETS could possibly have been issued yet as the venue isn't even confirmed. So how can a company charge $1,000 for something they don't even have for a venue that might not even be where the concert takes place?

These companies are speculative and operate on the principle that they believe they will have those tickets in hand when the pre-sale starts.

Nothing could be further from the truth - the playing field, at this point, is even. No one including TicketMaster or any of their evil offspring have tickets.

It's like me saying I have two Coldplay tickets and putting them up on eBay, selling them, then trying to get tickets on day of release. It's a stupid move and one that will bite the lot of them in the arse as far as I am concerned.

Some people do have tickets probably for this event, or have some sort of first dib access to tickets for this events. Promoters, advertisers, or people affiliated with the tour somehow may have tickets already or will be notified what tickets they will be getting.

The thing is, for sections 300-400 even though they are listed at 300-400US a ticket, you will be able to get those tickets on e-bay for around 400 canadian a pair.
I would imagine if they are having it at the amphitheatre that on craigslist and kijiji, and e-bay based on a face value of around 50 for GA Lawn and probably around 110 for Close Reserve seating it will go around 600-700 re-sale for sections 101-103, section 200's will go from 450-600, 300's will go for around 350-450, and section 400 will go for around 250-350. GA lawns i will imagine u will be able to get a pair for around 200 canadian. All of the above estimated prices are my guess based on a per-pair numbers. Obviously if you wanted dead center front row it might be like 1000/pair. But im guessing thats unlikely. Plus if they put forth 2 shows (which is a fair assumption), then the re-sale will only be significant in sections 100 and 200, the rest you will be able to get at just above face value. Keep in mind this is what people ask for them. A lot of sellers on e-bay have a best offer option. Also between e-bay and paypal on a 700 dollar sale will take about 80 bux. So if you were to arrange a local pick-up with someone they'd be willing to discount the price a significant amount.

If anyone has any questions about tickets or anything ask me. I think a lot of people are getting worried about getting tickets to coldplay. Another tip is that usually tickets are released a day or two before the event on ticketmaster. I remember when they played at the acc once and it was sold out, i went on ticketmaster 2 days before the event and bought lower bowl seats near the stage for face value. This happens frequently with leaf tickets, sometimes promoters can't get rid of their seats so ticketmaster releases more.

Coldplay just released another news bulleton on their website to confirm tickets will be on sale the 27th, no word on the venue, and no word on a pre-sale.

[butterfliesinjapan]

I really want to go to this concert but i want to know if ticketrush could be trusted?

Is there a way to know? On their official site, they said that some sites can't be trusted!

[TF5092]

I've been a member here a long time, but never really posted - I didn't have anything to offer other than my love of Coldplay's music and those posts can get old fast.

I do feel compelled to post now regarding pre-sales and people freaking out over companies having tickets.

NO TICKETS could possibly have been issued yet as the venue isn't even confirmed. So how can a company charge $1,000 for something they don't even have for a venue that might not even be where the concert takes place?

These companies are speculative and operate on the principle that they believe they will have those tickets in hand when the pre-sale starts.

Nothing could be further from the truth - the playing field, at this point, is even. No one including TicketMaster or any of their evil offspring have tickets.

It's like me saying I have two Coldplay tickets and putting them up on eBay, selling them, then trying to get tickets on day of release. It's a stupid move and one that will bite the lot of them in the arse as far as I am concerned.

Good post and probably 100% correct.

[Mikemoe23]

It's actually with ticketrush/livenation, and unless you haven't been following the newspapers lately or have read online Livenation/ticketrush is a ticketmaster company and can 100% be trusted.

[Surly]

It's actually with ticketrush/livenation, and unless you haven't been following the newspapers lately or have read online Livenation/ticketrush is a ticketmaster company and can 100% be trusted.

And 100% sued.

[Mikemoe23]

And 100% sued.

Yes there is a "class action lawsuit" against ticketmaster and their affiliated companies, however, the question was more pertaining on whether they could be trusted meaning that they would get real tickets and not fake tickets. Therefore, in that specific case they can be 100% trusted because they are the worlds largest ticket company, and do not issue fake tickets.

[butterfliesinjapan]

Thanks for clearing that up Mikemoe23 :)

[rooney11]

Bascially Z103.5 is a radio station in and around the Toronto, I heard about the Coldplay concert from them, and it was them that stated the venue was Molson Amphitheatre. This was all before the ticketmaster/livenation/ticketrus chaos. They also stated that they be giving away free tickets, but from past experience to listening to these guys, they be giving tickets a few weeks from the concert date, meaning around June/July they be giving them out.

[ManiG]

Omg im so excited :D!

[jaszypoo]

I think we all are :D. We should totes plan a pre-meet!

[Hiphopopotamus]

Yes, we should totally plan a pre-meet and then not show up. :D

Also, I'm afraid of dolphins.

[redcurry]

ah I'd totally go for a meet up...if I can find a way to tell my best friend (who's going with me) without her looking at me like I'm crazy haha. Everyone in my life already thinks I'm way too into Coldplay. but is that even possible?!?!

[Pseudonym]

Yes, we should totally plan a pre-meet and then not show up. :D

That is quite possible.

Also, I fear drowning.

[llamagesicht]

Alrighty, I'm completely afraid of being ripped off. What do you think is a good low-range ticket price, mid-range price, and high-range price? I'm looking for a mid-to-high, don't want to spend too much money since I'm just a student. Thanks. :)

[Mikemoe23]

face value for high end sections 100 and 200 and maybe even 300 will probably be around 120-130 after all service charges per ticket. But if you don't get those seats at face value like section 100 or 200, you'll be looking at anywhere from 200-400 a ticket possibly.

[llamagesicht]

Section 100 or 200 being closer? And why is it that if you can't get seats at face value you pay more? It's like...if you can't get them for the real price you knowingly get ripped off? I'm a bit confused, but pretty desperate for tickets. :)

[Bluejay]

Okay, now, why the heck does Ticketrush get me directly to livenation? And where do you guys can see the sections? :dizzy:

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

Still no confirmation on venue I take it?

I'm still crossing my fingers it will be the island (pure speculation and wishful thinking on my part)
They could fit so many more Coldplayers there... and there is no better atmosphere in Toronto than the island.

[miss_g]

Gah the anticipation kills me!! lol I hope they announce it soon...

[adamschoales]

Yeah whats up with ticket rush disapearing?

Anyways I take it there's still no news?

[Bluejay]

I had an account on ticket rush and I can't go and see it! :shocked2:

[jaszypoo]

Oh c'mon already! :shocked2: Ahhh!

[llamagesicht]

This is a repeat of my question, so it doesn't get lost under lots of posts before someone comes by who can answer it.

[Mikemoe23]

If the venue is at the Amphitheatre then the sections go 100,200,300,400, and GA Lawn.

If it's at the ACC then it's section 109 and 118 are the closest sections to the stage.

It really all depends on where the concert is going to be taking place. I hope it's not at toronto island because The Amphitheatre is way better. But nothing beats the Kool Haus in toronto where i saw them perform (Intimate 2000 person venue club in toronto).

And yeah if you don't get tickets at face value you might have to pay more.

[Ziggy]

And why is it that if you can't get seats at face value you pay more? It's like...if you can't get them for the real price you knowingly get ripped off? I'm a bit confused, but pretty desperate for tickets.

Well, if you knowingly pay a premium for tickets, you're not exactly getting ripped off. You can only buy them if you agree to the price. Doesn't feel ethical, but we live in an open market, supply and demand economy etc. The tickets posted on various sites as of today don't really exist yet because not even presales have happened yet. The vendors (either a website or an individual posting the offer on a website that provides that service) are speculating that they will be able to get the tickets they are offering. Some of the sites say something like - "this seat or better" guaranteed, which I assume means that if they don't get the ticket you bought, they will refund your money (unless they're fraud - see below). If you use such a service, you are buying "on spec(ulation)".

A very different situation also exists presently and is specifically targeting Coldplay ticket buyers. These sites are scams run by thieves. PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE on the Coldplay Live forum (thanks to Ian)
http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2839947#post2839947

If you manage to miss out on a presale and the actual ticket sale is sold out before you can buy yours, you are likely in the hands of the scalpers, who don't care how much you need to see Coldplay and will sell tickets for the best price they can get. Sometimes you can get last minute deals, but who wants to chance that!

Regarding the Ticketrush site: If you are trying for the first time to buy a preale ticket through Ticketrush, once you select your event, they re-direct you to LiveNation anyway. If you've already joined Ticketrush and later return to their site, their site recognizes you and automatically re-directs you to LiveNation (at least until the presale password changes at the end of the month when, I hope, it will let us in again to get March's presale password, if we haven't had the presale yet).

And by the way, everything you need to know to buy Coldplay tickets is posted in this thread or the presale thread.

GOOD LUCK! We're all in the same boat.

[adamschoales]

so does that mean the "password" is still "VENUE"?

[Mikemoe23]

so does that mean the "password" is still "VENUE"?

As long as the pre-sale is in February then yes. If they push it back till march, you will get the pre-sale password for the month via e-mail (if you're a livenation/ticketrush member.)

[Osaka Sun]

Can somebody explain to me the whole Ticketmaster/Live Nation pre-sale stuff? Is it really necessary to buy pre-sale tickets to get a good seat at the Amphitheatre?

I've never bought pre-sale tickets for concerts, games, etc. and I don't know the whole process surrounding it. Can anybody please help me out? :confused:

[llamagesicht]

Thanks for all the help everyone. :)

So presale is advisable?

I wish they'd confirm a venue already...

This question might best be answered by the Oracle, but No, you don't NEED to buy pre-sale tickets. Doing so just gives you the first and probably best chance to get a good ticket. But you can take your chances and wait for the regular sale if you like.

As for the the "whole Ticketmaster/Live Nation pre-sale stuff?" you can find all the info you need by reading this thread, starting with the post that is the 5th before this one (mine), and the "pre-sale" thread. You'll need to do some reading. :o

Good Luck! ;)

[Twisted_logic12]

Its Tuesday and still no info, this is getting annoying.

[rooney11]

This is getting really annoying, and to add to that i have a midterm exam on friday at around 10 :angry:

[KAC]

This feels like the last time tickets were suppose to go on sale, just two weeks later. ;(

[jaszypoo]

This is getting really annoying, and to add to that i have a midterm exam on friday at around 10 :angry:

I have one this Saturday. Good luck :)

But yeah, I totally agree. Everyone's getting antsy. I hope there will be some GOOD news in the days to come.

[TSmith]

We could try to swarm The Oracle with questions regarding why there is still no announcement on the venue...last time this at least produced the News post on the band's site about the new on-sale date (though it looks less and less like Friday is a real possibility, but fingers crossed....)

Sent in two questions about the Toronto date, perhaps more of the same will motivate a reply.

[CSmith]

Yeah ive sent a few messages as well.. no luck..

[KAC]

I've sent in two questions to the oracle about the venue and no response. :confused:

[Twisted_logic12]

It is now Wednesday, we really should be getting news today at some point yet its noon here, and still nothing. This is Brutal.

[coldplaycoldnight]

Like Oh my god, I know. People are losing their jobs, savings are being evaporated and protests are being held around the world...But THIS ticket siuation is really Brutal.

[miss_g]

Yeah I must say I'm a little bit nervous that nothing's been announced yet. :confused:

[anita_hype]

So there's no way of signing up for a presale now is there, seeing that there's no Toronto date listed on LiveNation? I hope they post something soon, I'm too eager :confused:

[marie/pims]

Like Oh my god, I know. People are losing their jobs, savings are being evaporated and protests are being held around the world...But THIS ticket siuation is really Brutal.

ROFL.Mean but funny.
Concerts can take your mind off these problems though

[kehoe_out]

This is pissing me right off, i really just want decent tickets:S i hope they announce the venue soon!!!

[twin4life]

wow this is so annoying.
I've been checking coldplay.com and ticketmaster twice a day and still NOTHING. this is cutting it really close. I bet they'll push the sale date back again...

[KAC]

I can't believe it is already Thursday and they still have nothing posted about the venue, this sucks they are probably going to push back ticket sales again:(

[coldplaycoldnight]

lol

[coldplaycoldnight]

ROFL.Mean but funny.

Agreed. However, cancelled concerts can add fuel to the fire...lol Relax everyone, there is too much of a coldplay fan base for the band not to come to Toronto. Infact I will bet anyone a box of pancakes that they will be here by summers end :)


PS: if they don't then...wonkkkkkkkkkk wonkkkkkkk wonkkkkkkkkkkk

[Twisted_logic12]

It's pre-sale day and guess what, still nothing. I guess this is where I go buy a gun and start killing people. Everyone make sure they watch the news tonight, if you see a guy in a Coldplay shirt running around Toronto with a gun it's me.

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

Where will tickets go on sale and when (What site)? :)

[Ziggy]

Where? LiveNation, or for presale, Ticketrush
When? Was first announced for Feb 13th - then for Feb 27th with the promise of a confirmation announcement before the 27th. So far, no announcement.

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

No ad in Now Magazine either.
Usually here wuld be a big massive one day ad for them.
I have a funny feeling the will bump the onsale again. Let's just hope the wait is for a decent venue worth waiting for. IE: not the ACC

[norrish]

Anyone know whst's going on...no info on LiveNation or Ticketmaster, yet they're supposed to be on sale tomorrow??

:confused:

[redcurry]

well I think its pretty much certain at this point that it'll be an outdoor venue. just wondering, (because I have never been) but what's so bad about the acc? it's just a generic arena right?

[Ziggy]

Anyone know whst's going on...no info on LiveNation or Ticketmaster, yet they're supposed to be on sale tomorrow??

:confused:

There is extensive discussion and expressed frustration on the Molson Amphitheatre thread of this section. If anyone knows what's happening, they're not telling us, the fans, as of 5:30pm GMT.

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

well I think its pretty much certain at this point that it'll be an outdoor venue. just wondering, (because I have never been) but what's so bad about the acc? it's just a generic arena right?

Yea it's just a generic arena I've always foundhad terrible acoustics for a good show and a boring atmosphere. It's ok for winter time, but summer time the Molson Ampitheater or Toronto Island are perfect. I'm rooting for the Islands because t can hold so many more people

[norrish]

ok thanks!...hmmm...

[jaszypoo]

+1. The only thing that i'm not liking about the Islands is that it is GA for such a big gig as this, ie: first come, first serve.The atmosphere would be way better though compared to the ACC. :)

I'm still rooting for MA. MA>Islands>ACC, IMO. :laugh3:

[coldplaycoldnight]

YESSS!!! YES! I just heard on z103.5 that they are going to perform at Downsview Parc!!! This is going to be un#$%belivable, for those of you who don't know Downsview Parc is where the SARS event was held..it can hold 100,000 fans no problem. I told you all that they will come! and I guess now we don't have to worry about stupid scalpers and their stupid hikes and their stupid things..... ;)

[Twisted_logic12]

Downsview Park, when did this happen. You would think the Coldplay website would say something of this though as well. As of right now there is nothing.

[coldplaycoldnight]

Over the radio like 20 mins ago...look for something tommorrow morning or later evening, after 6pm..That's when the websites are normally updated.

I'm refreshing the z103 website to see if it shows up there until it's on the coldplay site or TM.

[miss_g]

Oh that's great! At least you've heard SOMETHING lol. Will be watching coldplay.com ;) Thanks for the tip!

[eyesoredesigns]

Any news of if tickets are still going on sale tomorrow??? - I've been waiting to see if they post anything on twitter - but there's nothing on there either.

[ManiG]

Oh dayam.. getting excited!!
Please keep us updated if you find out any info :D

[rooney11]

OMG i am so exicted if its true, Downsview Park is going to be insane

[KAC]

Are you sure about downsview park, I just got a response to the email I sent to live nation and they have no information about ticket sales or the venue and I got the same response when I called ticketmaster. Neither of them was aware of a chosen venue.

[eyesoredesigns]

did they say if tickets were going on sale tomorrow???

[miss_g]

At this point, I doubt the tickets will go on sale tomorrow. It would be really spontaneous of the band and LiveNation to spring the sale on us without sufficient notice. My guess is that: they'll announce the gig tomorrow and then start the sale sometime next week.

[Twisted_logic12]

Would still really like to see something set in stone here, or at least a few more people who heard this. Personally, I was much happier with hearing it be at Amphitheatre. This is just going to make a 2 hour concert into a 14 hour mess. But obviously I will still be there.

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

I love the big day long mess of a show.. it makes the experience bigger and more grand of a day.
Although it's really more fun if you have to take the ferry back and forth... I've always been jealous of the big massive 100,000 people shows Oasis and other bands do in the Uk.. I'd be nice to finally have that experience here.

Just imagine 100,00 people all singing to Viva or Fix You or the giant YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA during In My Place

Also I emailed Dave Bookie at Edge 102... they have no clue what's going on with the Coldplay show either.

I don't understand how Z103 would know anything about the show before Edge 102

[rooney11]

Imagine singing Yellow under the stars....

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

Imagine singing Yellow under the stars....

I just had a chill down my spine thinking about that.

[mvcomatorium]

you guys think molson amp is out of the question then?
im still crossing my fingers for it

[everybodystilllovesandrew]

you guys think molson amp is out of the question then?
im still crossing my fingers for it

I've been questioning it from the get-go. They're just too big to play there now.
It just doesn't hold enough people.
I mean it's hard enough getting tickets to the ACC shows when that place holds about 20,000.

I'd love it to be there. But it just doesn't make sense for a band that could probably play 7 shows in Toronto and sell them all out.

[aunie]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are going to push back the sale date. They were supposed to announce a venue last week, yet no news!

A concert at Downsview Park seems cool! Will be more difficult to see them though...

[drevil0208]

To add to the rumours, here is something I just found on 92.5 Jack FMs website:

"Coldplay's official website is reporting that the band will be playing a show in Toronto this summer on July 29th. No venue has been confirmed and an official announcement has yet to be made. However, you can expect that announcement very shortly with the BMO Field as the possible venue now. Check it out for yourself at the bands website here. "

BMO Field has a capacity of about 25,000 for concerts, which is more than the ACC, and a lot more than the Molson Amphitheatre.

that wouldn't be soo bad... the old exhibition stadium before it was gutted / torn down / levelled and rebuilt into a soccer stadium... Mind you the 'X" had some pretty bad sound back in the day too... I saw U2, Bowie and Duran Duran (yeah yeah I know) back in the 80s/90s there and the sound just didn't cut it outdoors. The smaller BMO tho would be awesome as an alternative to the Ampitheatre.

I'd still prefer the smaller ambient environment of the Molson Ampitheatre tho... :)

[rooney11]

This is really pissing me off now, i just want to be able to purchase tickets....argh

[marie/pims]

They will tell us at some point.

[Twisted_logic12]

BMO would have a poor set-up for concerts, realllly hope that doesn't happen.

[adamschoales]

well im gettin' up early tomorrow just to be sure... but this is really uncool...

[jaszypoo]

Downsview Park would be interesting. Not sure about BMO though. Been there for an FC game and that's pretty much it.

The suspense is killing me. :(

[Twisted_logic12]

We'll probably get another two week extension with anothed venue to be confirmed announcement.

[Iusedtoruletheworld]

i dont want to miss out on getting tix and my road trip. :cry:

[coldplaycoldnight]

This just in!.......leafs are back into the playoff hunt!!! Coldplay concert still undetermined.

[wickedandweird]

Thank god I found this site! I have been going crazy trying to find out where to purchase the tickets as I'm from NS and clearly we won't have any advertising or inside scoop here. Thanks for all your detective skills!

[eatmorechocolate]

^ Haha. Welcome to Coldplaying! Ahhhhh I'm really frustrated with this, if they still can't announce a venue at least announce a 2nd postponement

[adamschoales]

if they still can't announce a venue at least announce a 2nd postponement

no kidding. i dont want to wake up at the crack of dawn if i dont have to!

[twin4life]

so should we try and buy tickets tomorrow? how can you possibly buy tickets if nothing is LISTED? AHHH. what has everyone planned to do for tomorrow morning?

[eatmorechocolate]

I'm getting up for 10 to check things out just to be safe, although I'm really not counting on anything....

[KAC]

Despite the fact that I have to get up early tomorrow to do it I am going to get up and see if tickets are one sale

[eatmorechocolate]

no kidding. i dont want to wake up at the crack of dawn if i dont have to!

oh man, i wish i could still consider 10 am "the crack of dawn"! :)

[coldplay.obsessed]

i'm kinda new here too :) right now i'm really frustrated and tired lol i clearly haven't got enough sleep for the past three days and my friend scared me to death by saying that it's gonna take about 30 seconds for the tickets to sell out... but since it's gonna be my first i'm willing to do anything to get them :P and yeahh btw Leafs Won :D

[twin4life]

^your friend it right. they'll be gone super fast.

[adamschoales]

well they wont be if no one knows when the hell they're going on sale. but im waking up early tomorrow just to be sure. considering know one really knows whats going on though I doubt they'll sell out as quickly. plus no pre-sale... so that helps.

plus they'll probably add a last minute second show like they do every year they come to toronto.

[twin4life]

i mean when they actually go on sale they'll sell out....i doubt they'll be on sale tomorrow though... but i'll still probably wake up.
if they actually do perform at downsview park i don't think they'd open up a second date. it's plenty of space.... haha downsview park probably wouldn't sell out too fast.

[coldplay.obsessed]

that'd be the greatest if we knew for sure :snore:
and i'm not sure which one i'd like it to be in :P i mean i like the amp. a lot and probably better view but you're probably right more chances to get tickets for downsview

[adamschoales]

lets say THEORETICALLY they did go on sale tomorrow? what time do they go on sale? 10AM? 9.30?

[twin4life]

i think 10...?

[coldplay.obsessed]

great right in the middle of school day -_- lol

[butterfliesinjapan]

last week i was really hoping pre-sales would go out tomorrow because i don't have school (i don't see that happening now).
but if they decide to postpone for it next, during a weekday, I don't see any chance of me getting tickets.

just prefect:(

[Technicolor Girl]

Skip school! :P I'm willing to skip class to get these tickets and it might come down to that. But if pre-sale is always at 10am I shouldn't really need to, except on Friday, in which case I would just go late.

By the way, I think I said the same thing exactly two weeks ago...:bomb: This is so frustrating. Just wait, there will be no sale tomorrow and it'll be pushed back another two weeks. I'd really like to know what's taking so long.

[anita_hype]

Ok, it's 6:11 am (Toronto time), and I've just checked the websites, and there is absolutely no news about this thing. I highly doubt they will suddenly spring this up on us within the next 3 and half hours, right? This is utterly depressing :(
