[JustSpies84]

Coldplay!!!! Why are you doing this to meeeeeee? We're in a recession!

Okay, you win (only because I love you).

I guess I'll see you in May!

So who's in? Tickets go on sale March 23.

I'm naming this Coldplay's Florida Summer Time Double Whammy.

[xroxyichickx]

Yes!!! I saw there's a presale March 20th for this show..how do we find out the code? I wonder if they will have a PIT

[MartinFan]

I might have to make a road trip!!! I am in O'Town and am going to Tampa, but I might have to squeeze WPB in too.

[JustSpies84]

I might have to make a road trip!!! I am in O'Town and am going to Tampa, but I might have to squeeze WPB in too.

I don't want to be a bad influence...But I think you should do it, hehe :D

I speak as someone who's also in O'Town and seriously considering this road trip. And by considering, I mean it will most likely happen. I wonder if my friend will be in. If not, then it's just me, Coldplay and South Florida for a fifth go-around.

If anything, there could be a Central Florida carpool service, just let me know!

[xroxyichickx]

Does anyone know who's opening?

[Dfit00]

WOWW!

Two shows in Florida in 2009! The one in Tampa in August and one in West Palm Beach! :o

I have already purchased two tickets for the show in Tampa in August, and OMG! I would have known I wouldn't have bought them!, but anyway.... I am going to both of them now! :D

[technicolor_love78]

Yay for another Florida show! :D:) Although, I'm not sure I'll be able to go to this one :cry: It all depends if I get this internship. But at least I'll be in Tampa, lol.

Yes!!! I saw there's a presale March 20th for this show..how do we find out the code?
Does anyone know who's opening?

You can go to ticketrush.com (or there's a link to it on livenation.com as well) and register and they'll give you the code for the month.

As for the opening acts, coldplay.com might post it within the next couple of weeks as they did with the last North American tour announcement.

[loubnat]

hey everybody...i have a question who know how to get codes...for presale tickets?? i really want to know pls help!!!

[-Keane- Fan]

god. i hope the presale isn't as horrible as it was for tampa.

[technicolor_love78]

^^i agree! ugh. i'll never forget that horrendous presale :angry:

[xroxyichickx]

Oh no, why was it a bad presale..and where did the presale come from for Tampa?

[xroxyichickx]

I'm from O Town also and planning on doing this one... already going to Tampa and Wembley! But who can pass up another Florida show! I am going to be soooo broke by the end of the London trip. I plan to drive down also and get a hotel somewhere down there... it's pretty expensive in that area. Went to Cruzan for Radiohead and regular Hampton Inn was like $130!!! OMG... we should get stocks in the Coldplay company! :rolleyes:

[localola86]

:o :stunned: :wideeyed: :wacky: :D

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEE!

I am soooooo going.
Anyone up for a road trip from Tampa? Five can fit in my Honda :lol:

EDIT: or I could join any of you from O'Town. I'm 5'1" and 115 lbs, I fit anywhere :lol:

[technicolor_love78]

^^^:D:laugh3::) man! now i really want to go! hopefully, i can find out soon if I can. but I'm totally up for a road trip with fellow Coldplayers :D i love how this will be the triple whammy year of Coldplay for us Floridians!

Oh no, why was it a bad presale..and where did the presale come from for Tampa?

Live Nation basically screwed us all over in this thread, by not giving us the best available sections (the GA pit, and I believe section 5, 6 and 7?). A couple of us managed to get better options---sections 8 and 10--- during GA sale, though. But still hoping things change this time around...

You can get the presale code from ticketrush.com (there's also a link to it on livenation.com), register and they'll give you the code for the month.

[Susan13]

I saw them last November in Ft. Lauderdale and I want to go see them again in West Palm Beach. I saw Peter Gabriel in that place four years ago. It was in June and it was so hot that night and I was worried about my new car in the parking lot. I like Peter Gabriel, but it was not a good night. I hope I can find somebody to go see Coldplay with me and hopefully it will be a nice night.

I am up for the Central Florida carpool :lol:

I say we should join forces, carpool, and share hotel room :)

[JustSpies84]

Hotels are super pricey there, huh? And West Palm is a pretty upscale town. They're all about the classy there, lol. Driving from Orlando to West Palm is about 2 and a half hours. That's fine when you're all excited and on your way there, but when it's almost midnight and you've gotta get in your car and drive back home for two hours: Torture. Hotel is a smart move, but if carpool has to happen, that's okay :)

The venue is exactly the same as the Tampa one, it looks. Isn't this where they played in 2005, right after Chris was over being sick, and he thanked the doctor during "The Scientist"?

And fingers crossed that LiveNation doesn't stick it to the little people once again.

[Dfit00]

Don't worry that much about it, there are plenty of Days Inn hotels nearby and most of them are about $49 a night. Check their websites. :)

I do have to tell you that transportation is very bad, so if you do not have a car, you will have to rent one somewhere... :dozey:

Other than that, let see that presale comes along very well. The Tampa show presale was hideous, do a google search to find the presale code. There are some blogs that it.

[xroxyichickx]

Do you think there will be a PIT for this show?

[technicolor_love78]

^^Possibly. There is one for the Tampa show.

[xroxyichickx]

Ahh! How awesome..I was looking for PIT tickets through ebay and stuff for Tampa but no luck...argh! Thanks for all your help guys..

[technicolor_love78]

^^no problem! :) yeah, that was the problem with the presale and the overall sale at Tampa....they never released the PIT section (or the other good sections) to the general public :angry: hoping they will this time around...

[localola86]

^^no problem! :) yeah, that was the problem with the presale and the overall sale at Tampa....they never released the PIT section (or the other good sections) to the general public :angry: hoping they will this time around...

For Tampa, the best seats offered in the pre-sale were in Section 10 (ticketRush) and Section 8 (radio station code).

I got two seats on Section 7, but that was because:
a) I bought them separately
b) I bought them on the general sale
c) I search for tickets for an hour!

PIT ---> there's no pit for neither Tampa nor West Palm Beach, it's all seats according to the maps in Live Nation.

[localola86]

Anyone going from Tampa or St.Pete? ANYONE!?

[technicolor_love78]

PIT ---> there's no pit for neither Tampa nor West Palm Beach, it's all seats according to the maps in Live Nation.

really?! :thinking: I remember during the day of GA sale, someone mentioned Tampa had sections 1-3 combined to make up the PIT. But I guess they must have changed it again.

EDIT: If you go to the virtual seating map in 'Buy Tickets' it says GA pit...but then on the main event page it doesn't. Ahh, I'm so confused, lol.

Oh, I remember that. But if the Pit was there, Live Nation should have sold those tickets.

[technicolor_love78]

^^yeah totally agree. oh, Live Nation :rolleyes: Well, hope presale/ticket options for everyone fares better in the WPB show.

[Yangarin]

Anyone knows the presale code for West Palm Beach. Last time Ticket Rush sent me a code was back on Feb 20. Do you think it will still work?:thinking:

ohhh a two hour drive back isn't that bad. i've done it tons of times. i live 30 mins away from west palm and i am always going to orlando for concerts

Oh and I thought $130 was an average price for hotels everywhere? lol.. maybe I'm just out of it.

i saw Radiohead at this place. it is all seated besides the lawn. there is no pit.

[Dfit00]

According to Livenation's map, there IS a pit in the Tampa show, but no pit for West Palm Beach show. :(

[localola86]

According to Livenation's map, there IS a pit in the Tampa show, but no pit for West Palm Beach show. :(

Could you please redirect to the exact link where it shows a pit for the Tampa concert? all the maps (2D seating chart, 3D seating chart, even the "click and pick" map to buy tickets) show NO pit.

[-Keane- Fan]

According to Livenation's map, there IS a pit in the Tampa show, but no pit for West Palm Beach show. :(

Yeah that's what I just said.. Cruzan Amphitheater is all seated.
Btw, as a heads up, parking is horrible at this place. I've been to over 20 different venues and I can safely say that leaving this show will be a nightmare since there is no traffic direction at all.

[technicolor_love78]

^^ for some reason, i can't do a direct link but when I click on the 'click and pick map' for the tampa page, there is a section labeled 'GA Pit'

[Dfit00]

For the Tampa show, Livenation still shows sections 1, 2, and 3 as 'sold out'.

I am still skeptical about these sections. Sections 4 to 10 where sold via Livenation, and there are a lot of people who have tickets in these sections and the scalpers are selling those on eBay. But no sign whatsover of sections 1-3, who knows? - Stubhub's and Razorgator's maps show that there is a pit, and some people are selling tickets for the pit for over $600. There's no pit in this WPB show, it's all seated.

Do you guys think that we would be able to find good tickets (Sections 1-3) during the presale for the WPB show, if there's no pit?

[localola86]

^Everyone has been complaining when buying tickets on the pre-sale and on the general sale for most concerts because it is pretty much impossible to get a seat or seats in the closest sections, EXCEPT if the venue clearly has a pit area for which tickets are made available.

They (Live Nation and TicketMaster) don't make all the tickets available.
1) they don't get all the tickets. Some are distributed among sponsors, top staff at the venues, local radio station sponsoring the band, roadies, etc.
2) Ticket Master has its own scalper site called TicketsNow, along with the other scalpers sites that exist on the web. In regard to Live Nation, they make clear on the 3D seating chart that some sections are VIP seats, that they most likely sell thru VIP packages.

I hope I don't sound harsh, just want to let concert-goers know what's going on so they understand why they cannot get close seats.

Thanks for the advice Lola, and by the way, I saw on your profile that you are Venezuelan-American! - I am Venezuelan too! What a coincidence! :lol:

[localola86]

@dfit00: I wrote a message on your profile about it :lol:

[ok, the following is gonna sound like I'm whinning, and I'm probably am]
I really, really, really want to go to this concert.
I was hoping someone from Tampa Bay would go, so we could carpool and share expenses, but apparently no one is going from here :bigcry:

I have money to cover the trip expenses, but I don't wanna break my bank :\
I figured that $$$ can be saved by:
(a) carpooling,
(b) sharing a hotel room,
(c) volunteering with Oxfam at the concert.

If anyone else is planning on traveling to West Palm, please let me know :D

[Sienna]

Does any one know how much the tickets are? :)

[JustSpies84]

The most expensive seats will most likely be about $130. Note that they'll be expensive, but by no means the best seats in the house. Let's thank LiveNation for that!

I'm on stand-by ready to go on ticketrush.com. I've decided that if I can't score great seats, I'd much rather try to volunteer for Oxfam.

Last minute details have left me going to the West Palm show by myself ( :( ) and if I get to help out a good cause and meet people along the way, then even better. I figured I'd change it up the fifth time around, lol.

[localola86]

^Can I go with you Just Spies? Don't worry that I live in Tampa, I can always figure out a way to get to Orlando (where you live, right?)

[localola86]

Does any one know how much the tickets are? :)

Ticket prices: (with fees)
Most levels (excluding the closest ones and VIP boxes): $130
Last rows of upper levels: $100
Lawn: $55

[localola86]

^I'm not even gonna try, buying tickets for Tampa left me traumatized. So, I'll go with volunteering with Oxfam.

[-Keane- Fan]

^I'm not even gonna try, buying tickets for Tampa left me traumatized. So, I'll go with volunteering with Oxfam.

Does volunteering give you special tickets or something?

[localola86]

Does volunteering give you special tickets or something?

Usually, volunteers get the tickets of those who have been upgraded.
They are not spectacular, but at least they are free!

[JustSpies84]

Ticket choice waaaaaay better this time around..

I just pulled up two tickets in section 4! Where the hell was this for the Tampa presale?!?!?!

I bought one, in section 6. I'll take it.

[JustSpies84]

^Can I go with you Just Spies? Don't worry that I live in Tampa, I can always figure out a way to get to Orlando (where you live, right?)



Sounds good! I got this ticket, but I'm thinking Oxfam might be better, more fun than going alone. I've always wanted to do it, and a friend of mine did it for their Dallas show and she said she liked it.

How does one go about signing up, though?

[localola86]

^Really!?
It seems that this venue is smaller...

[-Keane- Fan]

^Really!?
It seems that this venue is smaller...

The venue is a LOT smaller than the one I saw them in Orlando in and the Tampa one. A LOT smaller. I gave up those section 4 and 5 tickets.. I'm gonna see ebay after the general sale to see if I can get 1 2 or 3

[JustSpies84]

Is it? I thought it was the exact same size as the Ford Amphitheater. They're both LiveNation venues, and they have the same layout..

I'm still pulling section 4...wow. I guess everyone's got their Tampa ticket and said, "I don't need West Palm," leaving all these good seats still available.

Or not!

[localola86]

The application is on the following link:

http://www.oxfamamerica.org/whatyoucando/act_now/music/concerts_2009/

They haven't listed Coldplay concerts, but I'm sure they will soon.
I sent a Private Message to a girl who has volunteer before, and she says that Oxfam looks for volunteers weeks before the concert.

Keep checking the page to see if they have added it. I'm sure here at Coldplaying there will be a thread.

[xroxyichickx]

They only have Sections 4, 5, 6 ,7 8 and Lawn available..whats the point of presale if you cant even get anything close...argh!!!!

[JustSpies84]

Thanks for this!

I'll be looking out. I really wanna do it. You help out a good cause and you save money, and get to meet other people.

My friend said she'd come along if we could volunteer as well. Lots of us are strapped for cash after the $130 from the Tampa show!

[loubnat]

why are there not any sections 1,2,3 available on a presale! what is the point then! when will these sections be available........who are they made available to??? im so mad!

[xroxyichickx]

why are there not any sections 1,2,3 available on a presale! what is the point then! when will these sections be available........who are they made available to??? im so mad!


Same here..I'd rather wait for Mondays sale.. :(

[loubnat]

do you think mondays will have better ones?? im so scared! i just want really good seats!!!! i love coldplay way too much!

[JustSpies84]

The venue is a LOT smaller than the one I saw them in Orlando in and the Tampa one. A LOT smaller. I gave up those section 4 and 5 tickets.. I'm gonna see ebay after the general sale to see if I can get 1 2 or 3

OMG nevermind. This seat chart is smaller, section 4 is off to the side and section 6 is in the back!

Damn me! (Should have looked at the 2-d chart before buying. Crap crap crap)

[xroxyichickx]

I hope Monday will have better seats..if not I'm going to ebay them like usual. I never find good seats when they go on sale on ticketmaster/livenation. I don't have much luck LOL!

[Yangarin]

Which do you think are better seats Section 8 row G or Section 6 row T ?

[Yangarin]

I am so dissapointed for a minute I thought I could get Section 1-2-3 on the pre-sale. I guess that is only for people that pay thousands of dollars on memberships.
Any suggestions on which one is better 8 or 6?

[Crammers]

All seats at West Palm are good. Depend whether you want to be central or not.
It's a very small venue. Even the lawn seats are decent here.

If I can get seats in 1, 2 or 3 I'll go with lawn. I've been to many concerts at Cruzan and it's a great little venue.

[revolledo]

OMG nevermind. This seat chart is smaller, section 4 is off to the side and section 6 is in the back!

Damn me! (Should have looked at the 2-d chart before buying. Crap crap crap)

section 6 is right behind section 2

[localola86]

Thanks for this!

I'll be looking out. I really wanna do it. You help out a good cause and you save money, and get to meet other people.

My friend said she'd come along if we could volunteer as well. Lots of us are strapped for cash after the $130 from the Tampa show!

You're welcome! :nice:

tell me about it, my sister hasn't paid me back for her Tampa ticket :dozey:

[Yangarin]

Any one knows if seat 31 Section 8 is closer to Section 7 ?
Seats Start from right to left or left to right? (Section 1 will be on your left)
Thanks.

[Yangarin]

I already find out, I wont be closer to Section 7 :(
Anyone knows if the stage layout will be the same than in regular concerts. (with extensions at each side)

[JustSpies84]

You're welcome! :nice:

tell me about it, my sister hasn't paid me back for her Tampa ticket :dozey:

Neither has my friend, which is why I couldn't pressure her into coming to West Palm too. I told her the offer was there, but I wasn't like, "You HAVE to come with me!"

This is going to be a fun summer though. Twice in '08, twice in '09. All the stars have aligned themselves for us Floridians this year!

Well, let's wait til the concert is listed on the Oxfam page to make any plans. I'm kinda worried they won't take if I am not involved with Oxfam or related things at my college :\ I mean, I know about Oxfam, and I have participated in voluteer activities, I even led a spring break trip to volunteer helping migrant workers, but I don't know if that's enough :(

[revolledo]

has anyone got seast on sections 1,2 and 3?

[Dfit00]

^I'm not even gonna try, buying tickets for Tampa left me traumatized. So, I'll go with volunteering with Oxfam.

Oh my God Guys, this presale is horrible!!!!

The same sections appear over and over again, NOTHING in sections 1 to 3. :cry:

I guess that I am gonna have to wait and see, or otherwise volunteer with Oxfam too!

[localola86]

I know, pre-sales are horrible, I got my seat for Tampa on the general sale.
Section 7 is actually right after the orchestra section, which is quite small, so I'm on the 17th Row left side of stage.

Lucky those whose venues have a PIT or a floor section (San Antonio, New Orleans), they were able to get General Admin standing :cry:

[javierdmb444]

i have two lawn tix for tampa if anyones interested email me at jfernandez9122003@yahoo.com

[localola86]

Hey JustSpies and dfit000! I think we should check on Monday to see what tickets are offered on the general sale. But not exactly at 10am, more lik at 10:30 am or so.

[Dfit00]

Hey JustSpies and dfit000! I think we should check on Monday to see what tickets are offered on the general sale. But not exactly at 10am, more lik at 10:30 am or so.

Lola:

Sure, I am gonna have to check on Monday to see what tickets are being offered. I remember that during the presale in Tampa, the Livenation option of choosing your own seats by looking at the map of the venue opened at about 3pm-4pm. And that's where I found my section 8 ticket for the Tampa show. :cool:

So yeah, I am hoping to get better seats on Monday. I was looking at StubHub, and I saw that there is a pair of tickets selling for $299 each, and they're in section 1, row T. :o These ones are actually 'cheap', comparing to the average pricing of section 1 which is like +$800 per ticket. :snore:

[localola86]

^I know the seating chart doesn't show a pit, but who knows? it didn't show one for the venues that do have a put until the day of the general sale. Maybe West Palm will get a Pit.

[localola86]

Do you think there will be a PIT for this show?

I hope so :cry:
Some venues suddenly had a pit the day of the general sale.
Take Atlanta, for example.

[Lalo5]

I wish I could go to this show too. Anyone going to both Tampa and West Palm Beach?

[localola86]

^Me!
I just applied to volunteer with Oxfam at this venue.
Worst-case scenario: I'll show up and buy a tix the day of the concert.
Oh, and JustSpies84 (she has posted on the Tampa thread) says she wants to go to both as well.

[airieslady]

Going to both. :D

[revolledo]

has anybody been to this venue? I got sec 6 row L...how far is it from stage? does it have good view?

[localola86]

Going to both. :D
Yay! :dance:

[Yangarin]

I just saw in the 3D seat chart that there is a GA Pit now for West Palm Beach. How do you get thickets for that?
They didn't offer them at the pre-sale or general sale. :(

[airieslady]

Yay! :dance:

Good Luck with the Oxfam!
I will be in Section 2 Row J along with bta5857! :dance:

[localola86]

I know, I saw that too, and you have no idea how much that pissed me off! :angry:
Take action, and write them an email (under FAQ search, there's a "Send a Question" tab) about it.
I did that yesterday, still waiting for an answer (even if it is a stupid one :rolleyes:)

PEOPLE: go ahead and send this question to LiveNation about the un-availability of Pit tickets and how how unfair it is! :veryangry2:

[localola86]

Good Luck with the Oxfam!
I will be in Section 2 Row J along with bta5857! :dance:

How did you get a ticket in that section? :stunned:
Most people here couldn't get anything in Sections 1,2, and 3

[-Keane- Fan]

has anybody been to this venue? I got sec 6 row L...how far is it from stage? does it have good view?

umm.. I have. that section is pretty bad. i was there for Radiohead and everyone ends up standing up on the seats so you can't see a thing. it's horrible. but this is also coming from someone who is used to being in the front row and is only 5'1''.. i stood up on my seat but those seats are really slippery

[localola86]

Oh, I'm 5'1" as well! :lol:

I don't understand, isn't the amphitheater set up in a way that the seats get higher and higher? I mean, the people in front of you, their seats should be lower than yours?

[airieslady]

How did you get a ticket in that section? :stunned:
Most people here couldn't get anything in Sections 1,2, and 3

My friend saw 3 tickets on StubHub before the presale started in Section 1 row Z for $500 total for all 3, so she got them and emailed me not to do the presale. But then the seller did not confirm in the alloted time so Stubhub called her and offered her these seats instead!!!! So go figure! Like I said in the other thread, there are alot of season ticketholders and they don't go to all the shows. I really don't know where StubHub came up with these tickets, but that is part of their guarantee policy to get you same or better tickets if deal falls through.

[localola86]

^oh, ok. didn't know that about StubHub

[Dfit00]

Congratulations! :D:D:D

I am also going to this concert, as well as the one in Tampa. I bought them in the general sale. Section 7, Row T.

I was nearby the venue (Cruzan Amphitheatre), on Saturday, and I approached the venue to buy the 'pre-sale' tickets in the box office. Unfortunately, they were not selling pre-sale tickets in the box office, and they were only available online. :dozey:

I asked a couple of employees about the venue, and they told me that it is a very small and comfortable venue, and that you get an excellent view of the stage from whichever seat you're in. (Even lawn seats, well, not THAT back of the lawn but yeah). :lol:

So for those of you like me, who got upper level and 'cheesy' seats, let me tell you that your seats are not cheesy, and you'll see the boys in a very close proximity. :)

[xroxyichickx]

is anyone sitting in the PIT for this show?

[localola86]

is anyone sitting in the PIT for this show?

Doubt it, Pit tickets were not made available for sale. I have been complaining to Live Nation about it :angry:

[xroxyichickx]

Me too..but I want to speak with a human being at Livenation...argh!

[localola86]

^I;m going to look up their Customer Service number...

[localola86]

Well, that was easy...

Please contact Live Nation Customer Care either by email at customercare@livenationtix.com (customercare@livenationtix.com)or by phone at 888.598.4299. We will be able to review your options with you at that time. We encourage email communication for faster handling, but all email requests must be made prior to the day of the event.

The hardest part is to call them, be patient, and demand an answer!

[xroxyichickx]

Dude, you rock! Thanks!! I'll let you know what they tell me

[technicolor_love78]

Doubt it, Pit tickets were not made available for sale. I have been complaining to Live Nation about it :angry:

I'm wondering if Live Nation has something against Florida because wasn't the Pit available for other cities and venues? :confused:

[xroxyichickx]

Just spoke to livenation...there IS a pit for this show definitely..all tickets are sold out for them. She couldnt tell me how they were sold out, etc. How annoying. I wish I knew the secret to ticket brokers and how they get their hands on them.

[localola86]

I'm wondering if Live Nation has something against Florida because wasn't the Pit available for other cities and venues? :confused:

Yes, the venues that have PIT had pit tickets available.
In some cases, they sold out in an hour, like in Indianapolis and Pittsburgh.
In the other venues, they sold out in an day or two (Atlanta, Connecticut, upper NY)

What upsets me is that is CLEAR that there IS a Pit, but LiveNation did not made them available to the public at all.
I'm talking about this concert, and the Tampa concert
WTF!!!????

[xroxyichickx]

Yup, not even sections 1 , 2, and 3..

[localola86]

THIS IS WHAT ANNOYS THE HECK OUT OF ME!
HOW CAN THEY BE SOLD OUT IF THEY NEVER OFFERED THEM ON THE WEBSITE!?

Oh, and the woman couldn't tell you cuz she's dumb like that.
Seriously, this girl on the "Tickets: availability, price, etc." wrote yesterday that she got Ticketmaster to upgrade her seats at no charge.
She says the first 2 times she talked to women, and the third time to a guy, and the customer service guy was the one who solved her problem.


Yeah, 100% sure that brokers have these.
What happens is that the venue (well, the seating area) is small in itself
Therefore, the pit venue is small so there must be a certain amount of tickets available.

[localola86]

Yup, not even sections 1 , 2, and 3..

Those sections as well, which make up the "Orchestra" section.

The best I got was Section 7 in Tampa, which right behing Section 3 in the orchestra. Sure, this Sec 3 only has 10 rows, so I'm technically on Row 17,

BUT still, I would have prefered a General Admission PIT ticket,
I don't care if I had to stand in line for hours the day of the concert

[localola86]

Sorry for so much ranting :(

Anywho, I filled out the application to volunteer with Oxfam, from whom I won't get a notification 3 weeks before the concert. I hope they pick me :bomb:

[technicolor_love78]

yeah, that's what I meant. it seems like the other venues had easier access for fans to get PIT tickets. but as for Florida, they were "available," but we fans never saw them during presale or the GA sale :(:angry:

[xroxyichickx]

I have no tickets ..I'm saving up to buy at least decent seats :-/

[localola86]

Live Nation has the funniest music to wait for a representative.
I'm waiting as I write.

[xroxyichickx]

LOL!!!!!!!!! I know right!! I forgot what they were playing earlier but it was pretty entertaining

[localola86]

Coldplay, May 15, 2009. Cruzan Amphitheater, West Palm Beach, FL

Customer03/23/2009 12:33 PM [this is me]
Why GA Pit tickets were not made available for this concert? The click-and-pick seating chart clearly shows that there will be a GA Pit, yet I came here at 10am sharp today to buy a Pit ticket. The "GA Pit" was not even an option. Other fans were able to get GA Pit tickets for Coldplay concerts in other venues last week and today, as long as they bought early around 10am. What happened? Is Live Nation auctioning these tickets or what?


Response (Devynn)03/25/2009 09:46 AM

Dear Patron,
Thank you for contacting Live Nation Customer Care with your inquiry!
Pit tickets were available on 3/23 at 10:00am with the rest of the tickets. I am sorry if they had all been purchased when you attempted your sale. Unfortunately, this was avery popular event and all the Pit tickets sold very quickly.
Please respond to this e-mail if we can be of further assistance regarding this or any other inquiry.

Sincerely,
Devynn
Live Nation Customer Care


"The tickets were available at 10am."
Yeah, right :rolleyes:
Goodnes gracious, that actually made me laugh.
I think scalpers grabbed them, and others were given to the radio station, season ticket holders, or Live Nation VIP members.

THIS TRULY SUX!

Wow. What a crock of complete poo. I'm speaking for everyone who was in front of his/her computer before 10am, and got to clicking as soon as the clock hit 10am! They lie like this because they know we can't prove otherwise...Thanks for sharing this though. It's nice to see that LiveNation not only rips off the customer with dishonesty, but also does it with a friendly tone!

I've just filled out an application for Oxfam, though. Very cool, but I realized I might have a hard time getting selected, seeing as I live 2 hours away from West Palm :\ We'll see...

I hope everyone is satisfied with what they got. I got notice yesterday my ticket was in the mail.

[xroxyichickx]

UGH! That was complete BS!

Yeah, they try to master the art of BSing in a nice tone :angry:

I know, I filled out the Oxfam application to volunteer at this concert, but I had to be honest and write that I live 4 hours away :cry:
And we won't get notified until the end of April or so :\

I posted something like this before, but I'll say it again...
Worst-case scenario, I'll show up there, buy a lawn ticket early, and then beg a roadie to give an upgrade ticket :cry:
(and I know some of these people's names and how they look like, they cannot hide from me :P)

EDIT: good luck, JustSpies with Oxfam appl!

Livenation sucks so bad! All the GA Pit tickets were sold at 10:00am and they were supposedly available to the public?! PLEASE! :angry:

Maybe you will be selected to be an Oxfam volunteer at the concert, so keep an eye on your e-mail and regular mailbox. ;)

And even if the pit tickets were sold, how come there are no GA Pit tickets selling on eBay? Why are there tickets selling in 'rip-off' sites in sections 1,2, and 3, if there is a pit!? MEGA-OMG! :angry:

Maybe there's few of us applying because people have no clue about this Oxfam volunteering opportunity :P

I was checked earlier about Pit tickets on scalpers sites.
I saw an offer on eBay for 4 Pit tix in Tampa for around $1500 (no joke), and pit tix for West Palm at $325 each. Crazy crappy stuff, and who knows if you'll get them? :thinking:

Good thing is that there are tons of people selling tickets on ebay, but only one offer had 5 bids on it. Perhaps people are not falling for this crap of tickets at waaaaay inflated prices for the FL concerts :angry:

Thank you! We'll wait and see, I guess. I'm holding on to my ticket until I get word. I'd much rather volunteer though!

The lot of those pit tickets were not on sale at 10:00am Friday or Monday, I don't care what LiveNation says. That we see a handful of them on these scalper sites for more than the maximum $130 price LiveNation put on the ticket proves this. And I love Coldplay to pieces, but I cannot pay $300+ for a concert ticket :( The most I've ever paid was about $200, and it was for a once-in-a-lifetime show that I never thought would happen, lol.

Maybe someday Coldplay will like my idea of the smaller venue B-sides tour, and then I'll finally be able to rock out to them front row center like I've always wanted. Someday!

Either way, Coldplay two times this summer is a big deal!

[AndiFO]

Man I really want to go to this concert but my friend who I normally go to concerts with says she's broke and doesn't want to pay for this one. :(

Does anyone live around the Tampa Bay area and hasn't bought a ticket yet or has no one else to go with either? I'd love to find a fellow Coldplay fan like who would like to make the trip down to see them.

I'm thinking of, if anything, just driving down there on May 15th and seeing if I can get some last minute opennings at the box office. My cousin did that once before and I did that when I went to see Muse/MCR here. :/

I wrote about looking for a Coldplayer in Tampa to drive to West Palm together to go this concert a while ago, it's on page 2 or 3 of this thread.

My post wasn't as long, but I'm in the same predicament as you:

Instead of a friend, it is my sister who's broke (she cannot go because she'll be staying at UF for summer classes)
I'm a hard-core Coldplay fan
I live in Tampa
I'm going to the Tampa concert (as seen on my signature)
I want to go to the West Palm Beach concert, but haven't bought a ticket yet
I'm up for a road trip, specially for Coldplay (Summer starts on April 28 at 4pm for me :D)
I've been thinking the same thing about driving there and buying last minute tickets! Good thing you know someone that's done that and succeded.

Also, there is another Coldplaying member from Orlando who wants to go, she goes by the username of JustSpies84.

OMG thank you! I'm so excited now! We MUST do this. School lets out for me at the end of April and I really don't want to spend another summer doing absolutely nothing so I am all for this Coldplay road trip, yay!

I shall message you now :)

[JustSpies84]

I'll definitely be heading out to this show, if a road trip is easier for some of you, then we could totally go that route :)

This show will probably my favorite, because PETE YORN is opening!! I love him; he's one my favorite songwriters, and he's gonna be opening a few of the shows, including this one! I cannot believe this– it makes up for missing Richard Ashcroft by a single day (and getting Fiona Apple instead) during the Twisted Logic tour.

Woohoo! Who else is excited?!

Read your message today, hope by now you have read the reply.

My only concern is how am I gonna tell my parents? :uhoh:
I mean, the few times I've gone out of town by myself is for conferences, academic-related stuff. AND the fact that I'm already going to the Tampa concert, I can imagine them saying: "why do you need to go to another concert?" :rolleyes:
BUT they know they cannot really stop me :P

Got it! Wrote you back. And I know what you mean about the rentals. I told my mom about this and she was like 'whaaat? you're going to drive FOUR HOURS down there, that's practically Miami!'. Over-protective family here, and considering the first time I drove out of Tampa on my own was for the Orlando concert last November, she still has some getting used to.

You're right though, they can't stop us! :D And they must understand 1 concert is simply not enough, we must start and finish the summer with Coldplay ;)

Replied back! :lol:
Yeah, my dad is a "helicopter" parent, now even worse that he's working abroad. I had to take my brother to the Orlando concert so that I didn't have to drive. I need to learn the way to the Ford Amph before August 9 :laugh3:

The Summer of Coldplay! :wideeyed:
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[localola86]

Bumpity BUMP!

Since I'm not going to U2 now, I have $$ for an emergency last-minute ticket for West Palm. No doubt I'm going to this one! :dance:

[xroxyichickx]

Guys! LIVENATION JUST RELEASED MORE PIT TICKETS. GO GET THEM BEFORE THEY RUN OUT!

[technicolor_love78]

[xroxyichickx]

Hm, not sure. I didn't look since I can't make it for the Tampa show, but I wouldnt be surprised if they did! When I bought, there were around 100 or so available for WPB!

[Dfit00]

WoW! Pit tickets are now available!!! :dance: :dance:

I hope I can sell the other ones that I bought :lol:

Hm, not sure. I didn't look since I can't make it for the Tampa show, but I wouldnt be surprised if they did! When I bought, there were around 100 or so available for WPB!

As of right now, only West Palm Beach has the pit for sale, as well as sections 1,2, and 3.

They're selling out very quickly! :surprised: Tampa doesn't have any for the pit, but for sections 8-10 there are PLENTY available! :D

[Dfit00]

17 GA Pit tickets available as of 6:43pm 04/09/2009

[xroxyichickx]

Hey dft00, I just noticed you're going to U2 also in Tampa. Sweeeeeeeeet!

[revolledo]

did anyone get the pit tickets? I have already spent money on mine and couldnt afford on new ones....I hate Livenation policy!!!

[xroxyichickx]

I bought the PIT yesterday morning

[revolledo]

they dont have anymore PIT tickets :(

[xroxyichickx]

Someone will probably sell some on ebay sooner or later. For two, it came out to 259.00. hopefully whoever resells them is generous with the price

[localola86]

^Can believe I missed out! :cry:

[localola86]

But, yeah, I checked on Monday and today, and noticed that there's more Sec 1,2,3 tix available! :stunned:

Anyone selling a PIT ticket for this show?

[Dfit00]

Hey dft00, I just noticed you're going to U2 also in Tampa. Sweeeeeeeeet!

Of course! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :dance:

To be honest with you, U2 is my favorite band, and Coldplay is my second one. I have been a U2 fan since 1999, and its a dream to see U2 live in concert. Finally, this dream is going to finally become true this year. :nice:

I want to extend you my gratitude to you for putting the update of the GA Pit tickets for this show, without your update, I wouldn't have been able to get them. I am highly appreciated and I felt that something was vaccuming me yesterday to get into this thread for some reason. Maybe fate? :rolleyes:

they dont have anymore PIT tickets :(

I am so sorry about that, but I tried to message a lot of fellow Coldplayers around 6pm on 4/09, and NO ONE was online. The tickets sold out in about 8 hours, there were 200 of them. But hey! There are still tickets available in sections 1, 2 and 3 so GET MOVING! :lol:

Someone will probably sell some on ebay sooner or later. For two, it came out to 259.00. hopefully whoever resells them is generous with the price

There are some selling on eBay, but no way with the prices.... around $450 for a pair.... :inquisitive: (Again, get moving to get sections 1, 2 and 3 at least, they are on sale right now!)

But, yeah, I checked on Monday and today, and noticed that there's more Sec 1,2,3 tix available! :stunned:

Ultra-Mega-Squee! :dance: :dance:

Anyone selling a PIT ticket for this show?

I'll be updating this thread if I get more tickets in the pit. What I am now trying to do is to sell the other tickets that I'd bought! I hope they sell! :bigcry:

If anyone interested, PM me: 2 tickets for Section 7, Row T. (Selling at the exact face value, 'hard' type/In hand, they're considered premium seating according to the LiveNation venue map ).

[xroxyichickx]

dfit00...Thats exactly how I feel. U2 is my favorite band too and Coldplay is my second favorite. You are in for a incredible show..they are amazing live.

No problem..I figured by telling all the fans here about the GA tickets was the best way for fans to get the last batch of ticks. I'll see you at the show!

[Yangarin]

This is BS. I was seating in front of my PC at 9:45am the day of the presale, and the best I got was Section 6 row T Seat 7-8. Now just for the fun of it I went to LiveNAtion to see what they were offering and I got Section 1 (row U thought, but still better). So; now I am selling my previous tickets at the Face price ($259 for 2, shipping included).
I also have Section 08 Row G Seats 29 and 30 I paid $259, but I can give them to you for $245.
I was looking for the best seats, I thought it will be easier to resell these ones later, but I see lots of people selling tickets on e-bay and other sites :(
I Also have couple for Tampa (I bougth them before the band anounce the West Palm Beach show).
They are Hard Tickets. I live in Miami. Anyone interested?

I had luck in selling my 'not-necessary' tickets in StubHub at face value, try there or on eBay.

[localola86]

28 days! :stunned:

That's not much time!

I hope better tickets pop-up days before the concert.

[JustSpies84]

Got an email from Oxfam today: I can volunteer!

[localola86]

Got an email from Oxfam today: I can volunteer!

ME TOO!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

I already met with the girl who goes to my uni who wants to drive to West Palm. We agreed on meeting again after finals, but I need to email her about the opportunity I got to volunteer.

I mean, we could still travel together, I just worry about her getting tickets.

[Dfit00]

Aww, so nice, you are gonna make a new friend. :nice:

Maybe she could get a lawn ticket? There are some on eBay on reserved seating selling below face value. ;)

Yay! Congrats to you! Mine said to report at 4:00 p.m. :)

Weeeeellllll....Since I'm volunteering, this means my ticket is up for sale, so if your classmate wants it??

It's a Section 6, Row P, Seat 9 ticket. I can't remember the seating chart off the top of my head, but I believe it's somewhere right along the middle (albeit not in the front :/)

I'm gonna ask my friends if they're interested at all as well. I know one of my friends skipped this show 'cos she couldn't buy the ticket at the time. Maybe now she could? I'll check with her.

I realized that if I'm volunteering, I'm probably not going to get to see Pete Yorn open, which makes me sad (I love his music), but I really wanted to work for Oxfam, so I'll get over it , lol. This should be so cool, I'm excited!

(And holy crap! 100 posts! It only took me like three and a half years. I'm a slowpoke.)

[JustSpies84]

totally off toopic, but dfit00, i just noticed your 2009 concert schedule is exactly the same as mine! last week my friend informed me that she had committed me to the u2 show, lol.

florida this summer is packed with shows.

Well, she said she most likely to buy a lawn ticket, so I'm not sure if she'll buy your ticket.

Oh, so sad you won't get to see Pete Yorn.
I guess that's why I'm still planning my escape to New Orleans because that Floor B Row 10 ticket is still waiting for me to buy it :lol:
I wouldn't want to volunteer with Oxfam at NOLA because the whole point is seeing Snow Patrol (:D)

I know, I hope Andi understands, and still wants to travel together with me.

[AnaMars89]

I just went through reading all 11 pages of this thread... and let me just say how PISSED OFF I am about the whole GA Pit thing... it's just totally unfair!! Isn't there anything we can do? It's obvious that LiveNation is full of BS. They obviously sent emails to you all saying it sold out at 10am, and then weeks later 200 seats magically appear?!

That's so wrong! Do us fans really mean nothing? I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only one who missed class trying to buy tickets at the pre-sale. No... I got Section 6 tickets. What do I do..? I skip class AGAIN in hope that MAYBE I can find better seats at the General Audience sale, yet nothing! The GA Pit didn't even appear that day... this is sooo wrong. Just so wrong on every level. There really has to be something we can ALL do. I mean we all have a voice and I'm sure someone out there will listen.

So... any ideas?!

Hi and welcome! :nice:

Yeah, I feel your pain about the whole GA Pit tickets thing. I also did my plan in buying the tickets during the presale and the general sale. I ended up buying tickets in sec 7, row T in the general sale. The GA Pit tickets were on sale on Apr 9 circa 12pm, and LiveNation did say that they were sold out and then they say that they are available!? :dozey:

Some ideas that what you can do:

1. Get a group of people (A big one), and make a protest online against LiveNation selling practices. Do it everywhere, Myspace, facebook, etc.

Or....

2. Sue LiveNation? -> Get a good lawyer :lol:

[localola86]

^Those are two possibilities.

You could also show up early at the venue, like a fellow Coldplayer and I are planning to do, and try to talk to a roadie, and somehow convince him/her that we're huge fans, so we get cool tickets.

[revolledo]

I totally understand you!! I was sitting in the computer bedore 10 am for the pre-sale of tickets and got sec 6 as well...so I said to myself to just get those because I thought will not get better ones....sooooooo wrong!!!!! weeks later I saw that GA PIT tickets were on sale after I read so many posts saying the people from LiveNation claimed they were sold out...impossible!!!! That is why no one got them...they were not on sale!!! So, one day I checked they were available and couldnt get them just because I didnt have the money!!! why? I am attending two other concerts this summer so, it gets quite expensive even though it is not that much money!! Well seeing that GA PIT tickets were available, I contact LiveNation to switch my tickets and they refused to do it!!! I called many times, even my boyfriend did so I just gave up!!!
I am so upset because last time I got to see them real close and now I wont be able to see them that close!!!

[JustSpies84]

Sadly, I think LiveNation will keep up their ripping off practices until the musical acts themselves take a stand. Lots of big name musicians (and their fans) together can make a difference, I hope.

[greeneyes1207]

I know I've been posting this on all related threads, but if anyone can go to Birmingham on May18 and work with Oxfam, get in for free, etc. PLEASE sign up! not enough people have, so you'll be definitely able to do it! (I'm the team leader for this city, that's why I'm asking)

[JustSpies84]

Well, she said she most likely to buy a lawn ticket, so I'm not sure if she'll buy your ticket.

Awesome, you're going out of Florida to see them some more this summer?! That's amazing :)

If you and your classmate are going to the same show, it makes sense to travel together. Carpooling is more economic!

So I still have my ticket, lol. Do we know how successful eBay is with selling tickets? I just don't want to lose my money.

Also, got an Oxfam e-mail again today. I was told I'd get more details once the show got closer, yay! Are there any other Coldplayers besides us volunteering that show?

I can't wait, I just want it to be here now.

Grr I didn't get an email.. I don't understand why? What exactly are the qualifications ??????? I only live 30 minutes away.

And I know this is COMPLETELY irrelevant, but I wish The Killers would come to Florida 4 times this year like Coldplay has.. grr I have to fly to 3 different states this summer to see them since they haven't been here in 2 years!

[oldplayer]

I hope they change the setlist from last tour...

[technicolor_love78]

^^ I think they will for this leg of the tour. There's been rumors that they're planning on adding on older songs to the setlist

[AnaMars89]

I hope they change the setlist from last tour...

Me too!! I want me some "Green Eyes"!

[AnaMars89]

Well when I have the time, I really do want to start something... do something. And well I hope someone out there will listen and will be able to actually really do something about it. Cuz this is all such a big scam!

Oh, I'm sorry about volunteering with Oxfam.

Yeah, The Killers...
I remember when they played at my uni's some in 2005. I didn't go because I was a very poor college student back then.
I'm still a poor college student, but I have some savings now, and they don't come :angry:

Well when I have the time, I really do want to start something... do something. And well I hope someone out there will listen and will be able to actually really do something about it. Cuz this is all such a big scam!

You could take a risk, and drive to West Palm the day of the concert, and see what comes up. If you never try, you never know... :)
(Besides, you'll get to meet other Coldplayers :smug:)

The things I do for Coldplay... lol

My brother in law bought me a ticket for this concert. I had to pay him back 100 dollar, thats the most ive ever spent on a concert.

Let's get together for this one. I think we should all sign a letter telling them off. Otherwise they will keep giving it to us.
LiveNation and TicketMaster are selling the worst seats on pre-sales and first days of general sale. And they are keeping all the best seats for later, to tempt "not so fanatic people" into buying expencive tickets.

[JustSpies84]

I say stay on standby for Oxfam, because out of the people that they offered to volunteer, sometimes not all of them confirm their appearance to volunteer, and they instead offer the spot to people on a waiting list. So there is still a pretty good chance you could volunteer.

Agreed. I would like to think that if someone sat Coldplay down, and let them know the details of how LiveNation works, they wouldn't put up with their crap and take a stand. But that's what I'd like to think! Right now they probably see it as a business type of situation that has to happen for the show to go on...If they only knew.

I was super bored yesterday, and ended up looking at some old Coldplay set lists. Old, like when they were playing to 150 people in the UK. And I thought, "I can't even imagine Coldplay playing, and only 150 people showing up." It was about 9 years ago. Funny though, because you look at the tour for the next year, and they were playing waaaaay more. And then by the next year that was it. They were huge. They were meant to do it this way, big, and for lots of people. I still wish I could've been one of those 150 in that crowd!

Actually it's strange... I just got an email saying that I never responded to be on the initial volunteer list but that was only because I never GOT the first email...lol


EDIT: okay so apparently my mom is being extremely annoying and won't let me go by myself and the venue is 30 minutes away. OH KEEP IN MIND she won't let me do that but she will fly to New Jersey with me to see a Killers concert which will cost $800, but she won't let me see Coldplay for free... soo you will MOST LIKELY get my spot!!!!!

[JustSpies84]

I thought if you had filled out an application and got an introductory email, you had until early may to reply...I can't remember off the top of my head though.

I just remember I got an email and it said that if I did want to take up Oxfam's offer to volunteer, then I should confirm my appearance. I just emailed the girl back, and I had to be willing to arrive at a certain time, and then be willing to leave at a certain time.

30 minutes away is nothing. Keep buttering your mom up! Tell her that not letting you go to Coldplay for free 30 minutes away, but letting you go to The Killers out of state, is twisted logic!

1 GA PIT TICKET AVAILBLE! 04/30/09 8:38PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tauiwi]

First show to get the free CDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And there could be potential for fresh changes to the setlist!

[Freyster98]

My guess is that they initially planned on using their stage extensions. The show sold out, so they decided to scrap the stage extension and sell some additional seats. This happens all the time with other bands, and with other ticket providers as well. It stinks, but it's quite common.

[Ebs757]

I'm surprised this show isn't sold out yet :confused:

[Yangarin]

I was lucky to get one of the "last minute" GA PIT tickets from Live Nation; so, now I am selling my old tickets for less than the face value. I paid $259.95, I am selling them for 239.00 They are in Section 08 Row G Seats 29-30. This section starts on E. This row has like 37 seats.
If you are interested, let me know.

[xroxyichickx]

what time are you guys heading to the venue next friday

[but a dream]

8 more days till the first gig of the 2009 US tour :dance:

[gmalool]

I drove 12 hours to go see them in Miami without parental consent. hah

[slowcloud]

Sorry if this has been discussed earlier in this forum, but I am at work and don't have time to read the entire thread. I bought lawn seats and was upset to see assigned seats on my ticket when it came in the mail! I was in that venue early enough for Radiohead last year to get to the front of the lawn for a most decent view. I was hoping to do the same for this show. Are there really assigned seats on that whole lawn? Will they have chairs or something set up? We want to bring a blanket out there and just spread out. Anyone with any insight into this please share! Thanks!

[prf1]

Disregard the row and seat #s for lawn, you can sit anywhere, it just allows the venue and ticket distributor to keep track of the tickets.

[JustSpies84]

I have to be there by 4 p.m for my Oxfam responsibilities :) ...I was thinking about going earlier though, to see if I could at least hear the soundcheck.

That drive is going to kill me. I have to take an exam the next day at 9:30am! I'm thinking of just staying there, and then driving back in the morning. I hate driving sooo much.

One week left!

No, don't worry abou the row and seat number. The lawn is general admission and there are no seats, you can sit anywhere in the grass where you want, so make sure you arrive early to get a good view. ;)

The row and seat numbers are just for inventory purposes, that helps LiveNation or Ticketmaster (Or whichever distributor) to keep track of the tickets.

Enjoy the concert! :D :escaping:

[Dfit00]

Does anyone know where there could be a possibility of the boys staying at?

There's a Holiday Inn next to the venue in Southern Blvd, a Hilton in Australian Avenue, and the Marriott in Okeechobee Blvd.
The Hilton is the one closest one to the airport, so I am pretty sure that they'll be staying there. Does anyone know if they are still traveling nationwide in their private jet? :cool:

[xroxyichickx]

i don't know what time to get there...i was thinking 3pm? but then again thats a little too early..the wait for coldplay to come out is going to feel like foreverrrrr!

Aw, so sorry that you won't be able to go. :bigcry: I am sure that many fellow Coldplayers and I will keep you updated with everything right here, so don't worry, and yes there will be changes to the setlist! Let's hope ;)

5 Days to go, or should I say better 120 hours? :dead:

[Yangarin]

My friend can't go with me to the concert. :( But I am going anyway. I guess I have to look for some other friend. I have 2 Pit tickets. Anyone going from Miami? (27 + years old)

[BerrymanGirl1]

Hey everyone!

I have bad news. I won't be going to this concert. It's a long story, and I will be starting my summer job this week, so no chance to take a short trip to West Palm.
The only way is to get some place to stay because I'm kinda broke right now after paying for summer classes :(

The fellow Coldplayer I was traveling with also has stuff going on, so she understood when I email her about it.
Fortunately, she happens to like No Doubt, so we'll probably go to that concert together when the Gwen Stefani & Co play in Tampa :D

Oh well, first things first, right!? Wow Lola, you are so responsible and dedicated, good for you. I admire you ;)

I'll be contacting you about the U2 concert soon, let me know your opinion, just give a few days until I get everything set up in order to send you the message.

Thanks! I would blush if I could :blush:
Yeah, the internship is worth skipping the concert.
Besides, I'll see them in August right here in my town.

Ok, it'll take me a while to reply to your PM since I'll be busy, but there is still time until U2
(for which, btw, hope to get a ticket if karma is on my side)

Now, if only Snow Patrol came to Florida :dozey:

Is stuff from Prospekt's March pretty much a shoe-in?

I know "Postcards..." will get in there, just like last year, but what are the chances of hearing "Glass of Water," or "LITII"?

I hope they really, really, really mix it up.

[revolledo]

hi all!, I am in sec 6 row L. Has anyone been there before? do you know how far is sec 6 from sec 2 or from the stage??? I worry I may be too far....
thanks

Yeah, I think we'll get more of Prospekt's. More so than from what we got last time. For sure we'll hear LITII and hopefully, Rainy Day as well! :dance:

[xroxyichickx]

i'm also in the pit. getting there right before the show..i can't handle that hot weather to wait out there LOL!

[Dfit00]

Yeah, I am pretty sure that Prospekt's is gonna be there as well as Parachutes & A Rush Of Blood To The Head.

It is not going to be that hot, let's say around 83 degrees fahrenheit. But yeah, a little bit sunny. The heat is gonna be WORTH FOR COLDPLAY! :lol:

[AnaMars89]

i'm also in the pit. getting there right before the show..i can't handle that hot weather to wait out there LOL!

Yay!! Pit!! See you there!

OMG... it will be pretty hot... I planning on getting there early too.

[AnaMars89]

I agree, I'm pretty sure we'll hear LITii and Rainy Day.

Rainy Day is such a great song! I can't wait!

[xxKels]

yay!

hot weather=sweaty chrissy pics:wink3:

[MrLick]

Does anyone know what bands are opening for this show?

I'm making a mini vacation out of this, heading down the West Palm tomorrow and I'm staying til Monday.

[technicolor_love78]

^^I believe it's Pete Yorn and Howling Bells. Hope you have fun on your mini vacay! :D

ahhh! 1 more day left :dance:

[MrLick]

Thanks! I hope Pete Yorn sings "lose you".

[Mimixxx]

Yikes! I was just reading some smutty article about New Kids of the Block selling out this venue, but then cancelling and Coldplay not selling it out and when I looked on a seating map for tickets it's not even close :confused: 50+ tickets available in most sections.

The pit is sold out, but that's it. And when you change the quantity to 10 adjacent seats there's still three sections where that is available.

That's not good.

[MartinFan]

The seating chart this morning only showed 1 ticket available the 2 next closest sec. 1 or 2 in each, then sec. 8 only a couple, I think the whole lower areas have done pretty good in selling the seats, most of the upper sections are filled except the very top.
Mim, come on, can't compare NKOTB to Coldplay:laugh3: laugh3:

Pit and 2 sold out
Sec 1 one ticket 97.50
sec 3 one ticket 97.50
sec 8 14 tickets at 97.50 and 5 of the upper rows 35.00
sec 7 8 at 97.50 20 tickets at cheaper prices in upper rows of this sec
Lawn only has 100 tickets left
I think alot of tickets sold yesterday from when you looked, I think this is a high selling concert even if all tickets weren't sold.
I can't wait for reviews and hopefully pics.

Well, they might have had a chance to sell out if this wasn't their 3rd leg of this tour in the US.:\

And even if the lower sections are totally filled you better believe the boys will be totally aware of any empty spots in the venue.

That being said, they are professionals and I'm sure the show is going to be great. Can't wait to see new pics and vids:D

Was the article, not me.

[but a dream]

Feeling excited for everyone going!!!! :dance:

[MrLick]

I've been waiting 7 years for this, I'm excited.

[bosly1]

Looking forward to seeing reviews and photos of this concert. To all those going, have a wonderful time!

[MrLick]

Does anyone know if were allowed to bring a video camera?

[LaurainTechnicolor]

I'm going to this one! So excited!!! :D :D :D

[Bonostwin23]

Do any of you guys know anyone who needs one more ticket to the show, I have one and I need to sale it. Section 4 row H seat 8. Email me at Bonostwin22@yahoo.com. Way below face value!

[Yangarin]

Does anyone know if were allowed to bring a video camera?

No, They only allow still pictures. I tried to record a video with my small camera last year on Ft Lauderdale. The security told me that only pictures were allowed. Anyway, I still made some videos :)
If you have small camera that make videos take it with you, but hide at the entrance. Do not take a standar big video camera. They won't allow you to go in with it.
Have fun !

[Yangarin]

The LiveNation chart shows only 200 tickets for the Pit . Do you think they will sell more than that?. I don't want it to be so crowded in there.
I bought my pit tickets from Livenation and they have a row and seat number (to keep track, I know). But now I bought an extra ticket from a Broker (ACE tickets from Boston) and it does not have row or seat number.
Now I am worried it could be fake. Maybe they just sold extra tickets to brokers.
:confused:
Any thoughts?

[Hawking821]

No, the pit only holds 200 people. It is not going to be that crowded, but still. LiveNation tickets for the pit do have a seat and row number, if you bought the extra ticket from ACE Tickets and if it doesn't have a seat or row number, and if it is not issued by LiveNation that would seem fishy. :sick:

23 hours to go! :escaping:

[Dfit00]

According to Coldplay.com, Howling Bells are the opening act from May 15 through June 21. :wink3:

Anybody waking up at 4am to download the live album off Coldplay.com? :lol:

I'll be up at 5am, and I'm tempted to do it before the show, but I got to thinking about how awesome it would be to play it for the first time on my way back home. It will keep me all giddy and awake, so I won't think about how painful the long drive is.

Ahh, even if the drive is killer, I can't wait! Summer tour is on! Florida first stop, Florida last stop! It's gonna be a good summer....

Also, don't forget to be nice to the Oxfam volunteers tomorrow. I'll be one of them :)

I hope everyone going has fun and takes lots of pictures and just rocks out the whole night.

[xxKels]

:DWishes all of you here going a GREAT GIG, and lots of success getting sigs for Oxfam, go break records!
