It'll be one year exactly since I first saw them- I saw them in DC August 3rd, 2008 :stunned: :lol:
AND OH MY GOD YES, I'M SO EXCITED! I've been skipping around all day and... AHH! Just so unbelievably excited! I'll be even more excited when I actually have the tickets, though :P

Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0F004242BD8E42AD?artistid=806431&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=60)claims US $35.00 - US $97.50 for the 4 dates they have posted so far.
i'll definately be there! i really like the comcast center but i've never been able to get really good tickets there so i'm kind of nervous...
^Same here :\
Hey, I wonder if there'll be tail-gate parties like last time back in 2005!
I remember Chris talking about how he'd never known what tail-gate parties were until that nite.
He even changed "Everything's Not Lost" lyrics to something like:
"...When I was counting up my dollars, saw there was one for everyday. With those dollars I bought a beer and hot dog, in good old Massachusetts, USA" :laugh3:
Classic :wink:
JDFSX1
07-02-2009, 10:03 PM
Oh my chris, ColdplayBirdsFly! Thats great! I think being there will be great nonetheless, and if there is tailgating parties the IM SO GOING EARLY! :laugh3::D;) I WILL have my "LETS TALK COLDPLAY" sign so be on the lookout.

So what's up with the presale thing on Livenation.com...is there really a presale? And why isn't ticketmaster showing sales for Mansfield?? It's making me a little nervous because I really want to get good seats this time...

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone had heard if there was going to be a presale on Friday for this, as Livenation claims. I'm going to be coming to this one for sure--a 5 hour drive, only for Coldplay!

Live Nation has taken over all tickets sales for this venue as of this year, so it probably won't be on Ticketmaster at all.
And we're all nervous... I've had nightmares about it since they announced the date :lol:

11-02-2009, 11:39 PM
Alrighty yall, I went searching and you have to sign up at Ticketrush.com to get a special password for the presale other wise you can't buy the tickets until saturday. Just letting anyone who was clueless like I was in on the secret...and it's free :) even better

11-02-2009, 11:50 PM
i so wish this was at the garden instead. its such a pain for me to get to mansfield i probally wont go its so easy for me to get to the boston garden. plus indoors is so much better no rain, its not so hot like outside, lights and sound are better, and seating is better.
wish they would just play boston again instead

I'm really happy that it's at Mansfield, actually. I think it'll feel more intimate and old-school Coldplay. :)

thats cool you guys will have fun. not only do i hate outdoor shows (especially if not under the roof and it rains) but for me it's a matter of going to a boston show on the train, and not going to mansfield becaue my car will never make it there and back

anybody know if there will be a GA pit in the front for this show like in 05? or at any/all of the shows on this "outdoor" leg of the tour? there isnt one on the seating chart but that doesnt necessarily mean anything.

Same here BostonSports. Last time I ended up going though stubhub.
I'm hoping anything under cover, I'm not fond of the lawn seats.

Anyone have any info on the pre-sale on TicketRush? As of now, there is no mention of it on LiveNation (a change from last night which said the pre-sale was today at 10am EST) and on TicketRush, it just says, "more info coming later."
Anyone anyone?

So are we going to be able to click on the box that says presale and buy through there? If you just go to www.livenation.com all the dates come up and it says presale. So I clicked on presale and it gives prices but it says available on 2/14. Where do I go to get the tickets for the presale? I'm freaking out a little as 10 gets closer and closer...

and just kinda wait. at 10 or a little thereafter, there'll be a link. and you'll have to put in the presale password.

I had 4 seats in a row in section 8 row Q and thought I could do better... then I got row Z...
Now it looks like only singles are available...
At least I can buy one from some RESELLERS FOR HUNDRED MORE...
Guess I'll see if they release new seats tomorrow for the actual sale...
Ugh...

13-02-2009, 03:33 PM
I didn't get right in, because I realized I didn't have the code. Durrrr...
That said, I'm pretty pleased. I'll be closer than I was at the Boston Garden, at least. ;)
$126... ouch. The guys are lucky I'm getting a decent tax refund this year.
Nigel77
13-02-2009, 03:37 PM
Definitely was hectic and somewhat of a sh*t-show, but I got pretty lucky, too, I think. 2 singles in Section 3, Rows AA and T, and then a pair in Section 4, Row U.
There are still decent singles left.....

I had 2 tickets in sections 5 and 8 atleast 5 times and each time it kicked me out. I'm so pissed off. Guess I'll try tommorow, I hope they have some decent ones left, the lawn is always filled with drunk teenagers who don't even know anything about the band. LiveNation sucks.

13-02-2009, 05:13 PM
I ordered tickets via my iPhone, and I got right in. Section 7 ROW AA, kinda twards the back but it's under cover :-). I've seen a show at the comcast center before and you can't go wrong with covered seats. There all decently close in my book. ;-) I don't know about the uncovered seats though...

I managed to get two tickets, in the Pavillion Section 12, Row F. I checked the stage map though and it seems I'm not in the covered section. If so, why did the tickets cost $97 each? Shouldn't they be more like $60 or something?

Why can't regular people get good tickets to these shows anymore? The best available when I went in right at 10 was section 13! When I reloaded, it was sold out except for Lawn.
Prior to the Viva tour, I never sat further than 10 rows from the stage. Nowadays,
so many tickets are held and not even put e on sale, and even the mediocre seats are gone in pre-sales before regular people go to purchase on the actual sale date.
There was actually once a time where if you called a ticket agency right at the sale time and got through, you might actually get tickets right up front! That seems like a ridiculous concept now, and it makes me really sad about the state of music and live shows for A-List bands.
I didn't end up buying anything for the show and I guess I'll have to fight through the bloated prices on StubHub or something if I want to try to get somewhere within normal vision range of the stage.
I'm sorry - I just need to vent!!

Yeah I didn't realize how bad my seats are until after I purchased them. Stupid on my part, but I basically should have bought lawn seats since my section is right infront of them. I thought I would have at least been covered by selecting Pavillion seats for $97 dollars lol

you should try to contact livenation, my sister and I are both trying to buy tickets, she was looking in the 97$ range and I was looking for tickets in the 59$ price range we were both offered seats in section 13. So they are charging people 97$ for seats that other people are buying for 40$ less per ticket. :veryangry2:

Wow...I feel fortunate that i got pretty good seats, must have been lucky this morning...Sec 4 Row D. pretty happy :)
BTW, does anyone know if these tickets are supposed to be $97 or $79, because both are pavilion but these are farther back so i was wondering if I was overcharged? Can sumone help me out? Thanks

14-02-2009, 03:48 PM
Well that kind of sucked...had to buy both tickets individually but got pretty good seats...Sec1 row FF seat 1 and Sec 3 row DD seat 34
Wait, so you bought two tickets, but you searched and purchsed them separately. Just to make sure because I'm going to do that to buy a ticket for myself and one for my sister for the Tampa concert.
It kinda shucks the two of you will be far apart. How's the view from your seat?
One girl going to this concert got a single tix on Section 3, Row GG, and from the 3D chart it doesn't look that bad.

What?? That's unbelievable. I'm happy to have gotten seats, but that is just a blatant rip off. I'm going to try to give them a call and see what they say. I don't expect them to give me any money back though.

ohmystarisfading, I am calling Live Nation right now. My credit card company told me to call them first, and then they will possibly intervene. Don't get me wrong , I would spend hundreds of dollars for GOOD Coldplay seats, I have no problem paying more money for decent seats. But I definitely selected Pavillion for $97 dollars and they gave me upper reserved and charged me full price. That is so deceptive in my opinion. And of course the seating chart isn't right there (that's why I like ticketmaster) when they give you the tickets. I will just rebuy lawn seats if i can get the charge cancelled =(

Yeah, this has definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. I didn't even spend this much when I got FLOOR seats at the Garden last year. I think my two seats only came out to $220 or something, and now they're charging me $250 for Upper Reserved seats?? :veryangry2:

Yeah I got really good seats for Hartford this summer, on the lower section right by the side of the stage but then I won a contest to sit in the front row. But I paid less for those good seats then I did for these craptastic seats. I know I should just be thankful for getting to go, but I still feel like I got ripped off, you know? And my friends are paying me back since I used my credit card so I feel like I'm ripping them off too! lol

You're welcome! I just went and bought lawn seats (boo) but if you look under the $59 seating you can get in sections 13 and 14, I just looked but figured it wasn't worth it at this point and hopefully I can get tickets on ebay or something or hopefully win another contest!! My boyfriend, best friend and I are gonna get creative and hopefully find a way to win them. Now I feel like I should have got the $59 ones, but they still aren't covered by the pavillion so I don't know. NOTE TO SELF: Next time, do the presale! Lol

Well I called them up and the lady I spoke with told me that according to the box office, that section is $97 per ticket. She said they have gotten several calls with the same question but there was nothing they could do about it. She did say I could buy other tickets and call back and have the first order canceled.
So I went ahead and did another search and the best I could come up with for the $97 seats were section 8 row AA, which was not worth it in my opinion. I did a search on the $59 tickets and managed to get section 13 row N. While not great, I'm saving a little less than $100 for slightly worse seats.
I'm on the phone now to get them to cancel my order. I'll keep an eye out though for seats in section 1, 2 or 3 :)

Don't worry! Soon a thread for pre-concert to-do's will be created. I was telling this other guy about creating it, so that people can share tips and stuff to do such as getting early to the venue, posters, clothing, stalking (eeerrr...attempting to meet the band :lol:)

The whole process has been such a mess. Same thing happened to me - I got a pair in Section 12, Row B for $97.50/ea, but then I just looked and there is a pair available in Section 14, Row D for $79.50/ea. Maybe just because section 12 is directly in the middle? Seems like bad/arbitrary pricing, to me.
Does anyone know what the 'Premium Seats' are all about in sections 1, 2, 3, and 7?

Don't worry, it's fine. About the separate seats, I'm gonna have to do that to get my sister and me good seats. I'll tell her about it this before Friday, I also need to know if she wants a $130 ticket (she might not)

Although I agree, I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you... We'll see what the setlist is like when they start playing in July, but I doubt there will be many non-singles played from Parachutes or even AROBTTH. :\
(Although there's probably a slightly higher chance of hearing older songs on this tour because it's not necessarily promoting VLVOD since it'll be more than a year after the album came out. *shrug*)

Dear Carapole
Thi is what one country is doing:
Ooh dearest Oracle. I'd like to know your opinion about this project a guy had : at the Coldplay concert in Paris-Parc des Princes, people will come dressed in red or/and white (Viva la Vida colors) and maybe a crown, to show how much we love Coldplay and to leave them a good memory of this gig (I'm sure this concert will give us a great memory !)The guy made a group in facebook and website etc... as I see it's working. So, do you think it's a good idea ?
I'm under the stage having a tidy up when the doors open to the punters in Bologna. This lot are already singing the Viva tune as they stream onto the floor. An Italian fansite has also organised the bringing of balloons, which they're bouncing and batting about the place long before the band take the stage. If they're this noisy and excitable at an empty stage, the gig can only be a good 'un.
And indeed it is. I can't remember a louder crowd this whole tour. It's a great point in the tour to get a crowd like this. The set has settled to the point where the band can actually start really relaxing and enjoying it, as well as being aware of what's going on around them. We're also about five weeks into a run of shows and frankly, everyone is knackered. A vibe like tonight lifts everyone like a very, loud cheering and screaming shot in the arm. The balloons make an appearance on the B Stage, as one makes its way up. Chris announces that he will perform "the next song as a fat man. This is what Coldplay will look like in thirty years' time" The balloon goes up the shirt and true to his word, the song is delivered in a most overweight fashion.
As well as balloons, there are gold paper crowns from another fansite, presumably in tribute to Anton Corbijn's Viva La Vida video. Chris picks one up in the midst of the song and it soon ends up perched on Guy's head. Rather suits him, actually
Thes are just some of the things other fans have done
Lets get creative New England!!

What is going on with the last two posts. This is a blog for coldplay FANS not people trying to make a buck. Fans who use this forum use it to talk about the shows and the excitement. I can't speak for everyone, but I would appreciate it if certain people would stop buying tickets and trying to re-sell them because it takes away the tickets from the real fans who try to buy them when they go on sale because they really want to see the band and experience Coldplay live.

It's a tough call rooroo, about posting ticket offers. We all hate scalpers but not all folks with tickets for sale fall into that category
I know last time the boys played Boston the best I could do through regular ticket sales was nosebleed seats up in the rafters. I was so disappointed so I also entered one of the ticketmaster auctions to try and get much better seats. But the hitch was I could get out bid on those and end up with nothing, that's why I bought the other ones.
In the end I ended up getting great seats at a reasonable price through the auction and then had 2 other tickets to try to resell. So...I posted them here and cross posted them on Stubhub. In the end they sold through stubhub, but I certainly didn't feel like a scalper putting them on here at face.
ok..off my soapbox
This time out I'm taking my 8 yearold daughter to her FIRST concert, I'm hoping it will be a blast at Mansfield this August.

i'm not just trying to make a buck. i'm a huge coldplay fan and i bought the tickets for this show thinking this is the closest they would be playing to me. but now they're playing in new jersey! woo hoo. i got front row tickets to that show and was trying to get rid of these ones because they're incredibly expensive. but i decided to just go to both shows. one to start off my summer and one to end it. can't wait.
i just posted in here thinking some person looking for tickets might wander here and see the post. but it's void now. cus i'm going. see you all there. :)

How am I trying to make a buck? I am selling 2 good tickets for FACE. I figured a FAN would want good tickets.
"but I would appreciate it if certain people would stop buying tickets and trying to re-sell them because it takes away the tickets from the real fans who try to buy them when they go on sale because they really want to see the band and experience Coldplay live."

I just saw that they added a pit section for this show. Of course, the tickets are all gone now. I tried Stubhub and although they have these tickets in the $200 range, with Stubhub's crazy fees and shipping, it's closer to $290 per ticket. Does anyone have 2 extra or had any luck on Ebay for less than $250/ticket?

Does anyone have any idea about how many people they pack into the pit area? I've never been to this venue before. Thanx!!
Collee
24-06-2009, 11:30 AM
Last time out with the Twisted Logic tour the pit at Mansfield was pretty small. About 5 folks deep and only as wide as the front of the A section (so as not to block the asles back up the two side sections is my guess). It did appear that the venue had removed the first couple of rows of seats in the A sectio to give more room for the pit.
Check out a venue map here > http://www.livenation.com/venue/comcast-center-tickets#
Hope that helps.

hey new england - we have less than 1 month before our big day - I started this thread a bit prematurely back after securing a ticket and maybe I am missing something - but we can't let other countries/cities/states out do out appreciation. What do you all think about grabbing white T-shirts and painting the Big RED V as Chris wears to show our support and appreaciation? Just an idea
Mamaj0826
05-07-2009, 03:51 AM
Hay all you new england fans - have been trying to form a unified way to get our message across to thank these guys not only for playing once but 3 times in the Boston area - my newest idea is wearing white t's w/big red V painted as Chris wears. We need to some how out do other countries/cities and states ao they'll keep coming back. Any other ideas?

I am saying that i am exactly straight to the stage from where Chris sings and also when he's on the piano.Exactly straight to the stage where Chris sings through his microphone during songs.:)But also i am near to the ramp too.:)
Because i am almost front in the 6th section just some rows behind.
I think the people in the 1,2,3 sections can view the ramp.
But i can see the b-stage very near and clearly.:D
I'll also try to be near for the c-stage if possible.:rolleyes:

I desperately want a ticket upgrade (right n ow I have lawn seats--if you read my earlier posts you can see that me and a few other people got screwed over by live nation)) so my friends and I were planning on making a whole day of it if we can tailgate and stuff (which I felt like I read somewhere that you can't).

I'm pretty sure you can tailgate because I plan on it all day. I know for other shows like Dave Matthews Band there was but I could be mistaken so don't take my word on it.
I can't wait!
Edit: I just found this on Live Nation
"Tailgating is allowed, but due to Mansfield Town law consumption, of alcohol in the parking lots is illegal."
(If your alcohol is in a cup they don't really mind)
