UPDATE (PAGE 5): 15TH SEPT @ 5.15PM GMT - IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT QUEUING AT WEMBLEY!! PLEASE READ!!

[mc_squared]

I just received this information from Craig (coldplaying-forever27 (http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/member.php?u=41589)) after asking if he would phone Wembley and demand to speak to a supervisor.:

Craig said: "I phoned up and got just some random gal, and i asked and managed to get through to the event supervisor, Martin Smithson, and was told, that, anyone attending the show who queues at the wrong gate, will be told, Catagorically, that they must leave the queue and join the end of the queue they should have been in. also he said that the two gates, will have just one queue each, and that they will be let in simultaneousely."

So we should now reactivate my thread about swapping tickets if people want to queue together.
You have been warned!!:stunned::stunned::stunned:

[lafferty23]

ok, so wait, there are 2 queues right - which lead into gates b&C and H&J. The one for H&J is north east ramp? Is this right?

[johkujii]

:bigcry: what are the people with box office pick up do! I'm not one of them tho..) and...this sucks! :uhoh:

[r25d01]

thank you very much!

[mc_squared]

ok, so wait, there are 2 queues right - which lead into gates b&C and H&J. The one for H&J is north east ramp? Is this right?

There's "M&N" too.;)

[lafferty23]

oh, ok. So, I just want to make sure I've got this right:

There are TWO main queues, which lead into one two gates each (is there a fourth ga entrance?)

The North east ramp queue goes into H&J and somewhere else....
What is the other ramp queue called?

[marianatsl]

B or C tickets got South east Ramp

[lafferty23]

ok so:

2 queues:
North East Ramp > Gates H&J and M&N
South East Ramp > Gates B&C and F&G

[marianatsl]

Craig apparently is checking on that 2 gates, 3 gates information also.

[johkujii]

:uhoh: I'm really confused now :D well I'll just ask some security guards when I get there :P

[mc_squared]

That information seems confusing

[johkujii]

Craig is awesome :D

[Denise]

Oh that would be great, cause so far I've read of people with gates B&C, H&J, M&N and F&G, so that makes 4 entrances, not 2, unless I'm not more able to count properly :lol:

[marianatsl]

I have B or C gates, but on the small side part of the ticket it says "F or G".
no idea what it means. I'm sticking with the big letters on the big part of the ticket :laugh3:

[CookyMnstr]

OK so wait, now I"m confused, too. There are different gates, but only 2 "ramps." Many gates per ramp. Only one queue for each ramp, and then...you have to rush into the right gate???:uhoh::confused: I'm sure it can't be that complicated, but never having been there, it's hard to picture.

[marianatsl]

I'm thinking the same!! it just seems kinda insane.

[vitaamine]

may I quote Coldplay lyrics by saying Im "loooooost" ?!
I'll have to pick my 2 tickets to the box office so basically where should I queue ?
I'm so not feeling this :'(

[Denise]

btw wouldn't it be simpler for them to just release a stupid statement explaining how it works? I'm sure there were many people who either called or sent e-mails about this (and didn't get an answer, thank you Wembley customer service, really useful :dozey:)

[busybeeburns]

If you're not sure which gates you need because your tix are at Box Office (me included), I suggest you ring 0844 980 8001 tomorrow during work hours to find out what gates it says on the tickets.

Get in touch with your ticket vendor FIRST to find out your ticket numbers (as printed on the ticket) as the ticketmaster/seetickets/ticketline reference aint going to be much use for Wembley staff.

[marianatsl]

haha, the people at Wembley will go craaaaazy tomorrow!!

[vitaamine]

Can I call this number from France ?
I ordered my tickets on seetickets (I wont even start on their customer services either..), and all the informations I got by mail is this
"2 x STANDING & LEVEL 1 UNRESERVED at £49.50"

So I should call/email seetickets to ask what gate is written on my tickets ? (sorry to bother)

[marianatsl]

call them. see tickets e-mail customer service sucks even more than the telephone. you might get faster answers on the phone.

[Denise]

edit: ok I've relaxed :P

[a-chan]

How can we get in touch with our ticket vendor if we havent the tickets hence, their number... :thinking:

[marianatsl]

but you know which outlet sold it to you (ticketmaster, seeticket) and you have THEIR reference number. so call them, and ask for the ticket number, before calling wembley :nice:

[marianatsl]

whoever has box office tickets for wembley, could you please add yourselves to the 'attendance list' on the day you are going and put BOX OFFICE beside your name so that we can all have an rough idea of who (and how many) will be affected) by this!!

thanks!!
(as requested by Jen)

[Clocks In My Place]

Oh NOOO! :bigcry: This sucks!

Who does that phone number lead to?
Are you saying that there actually is somebody who can tell what gate it says on the tickets?


On email yesterday ticketline told me that they could not tell what gate it says on my tickets (they do not have access to the physical tickets) and the tickets are about to go to the box office (I could therefore not get the tickets sent to the hotel now). So I think getting in touch with ticketline again would be pointless...

How many digits does the ticket number contain of? (to be sure)

[marianatsl]

if it's the number on the barcode: 11

[coldplaying-forever27]

Hello, its Craig,

Now, I cannot apologise enough for both my silence, and all of the confusion.

The gentleman on the phone to me said that for the GA people, there will be two queues. Now, we seem to only know of people who have tickets for H&J M&N + B&C. But there may be a fourth gate aka F&G. Just because none of the colplayers in attendance dont have tickets for this gate, doesnt meen that it doesnt exist.

This said it is extremely strange that no-one would have tickets for that gate considering the amount of people going, (strange but not impossible). And i will contact the guy again tomorrow to find out just whether there is a 4th gate, and also which queues exactly everyone needs to be in for each gate.

But until then everyone thats all i have, but dont worry too much about it people, and again i apologise for not getting back very quick, and also confusing everyone.

Thanks

I promise i will call him tomorrow, and put an end to the speculation, but when i said that people in the wrong queues wont be let in, i meant it. That is a direct quote from the guy, and i didnt ask him about the box office people, but again i will tomorrow.

[mc_squared]

Well done Craig. Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this once and for all.;)

[a-chan]

Thx Craig for asking for the box office...! Because we are all kinda screwed if our friends can't queue for us...

[r25d01]

If anyone succeeds in getting the ticket number and the gates, please let us know and also say which vendor you have.

[mc_squared]

Thx Craig for asking for the box office...! Because we are all kinda screwed if our friends can't queue for us...

I am coordinating with Craig closely on this. I would have phoned Wembley myself, but I'm in Germany so that isn't so straightfoward, which is why I asked him if he could help out.
If I spot any relevant points or questions I will forward them to him via FB.
You can also PM me directly if you wish, as I'm likely to be online a lot of the time before he phones tomorrow.:wink2:

[a-chan]

Thx Mark. What I want to know is what everybody wants to know:

Can my friend queue at any gates without tickets while I'm queuing at the box office ??



I've juste got an email from seetickets....


We're writing to you regarding COLDPLAY at

Yeah, thx but not hepful T.T

[mc_squared]

Thx Mark. What I want to know is what everybody wants to know:

Can my friend queue at any gates without tickets while I'm queuing at the box office ??




That shouldn't be a problem, as the gates won't be open at that time.;)
It will only be down to the goodwill of the other people in the queues.;)

[OnMyOwnInASeparatSky]

Ah! I wish I didn't have the box office-problem...

[victoria.l.moore]

Just to confuse things further my tickets say entrance f and g north east ramp... my small stubs however say m and n. I sense that I could be phoning bloody wembley myself tomorrow

[mc_squared]

Just to confuse things further my tickets say entrance f and g north east ramp... my small stubs however say m and n. I sense that I could be phoning bloody wembley myself tomorrow

:confused:

[Jenjie]

have been keeping up with a little bit of this via twitter.

we have Coldplayers with tickets who know which gates they're queuing at. what I want to try & organise is some sort of buddy system so that we can co-ordinate people in the queues. not quite sorted out in my head how it will work yet.

Until we hear what Craig finds out tomorrow, i suggest the following:

if you were planning to queue early, and have to collect tickets from the box office, start queuing at the box office. that means the minute the box office opens, you'll be at the front to get your tickets.

the rest of the plan is still under construction in my head.

[Stefan-C8]

Just to confuse things further my tickets say entrance f and g north east ramp... my small stubs however say m and n. I sense that I could be phoning bloody wembley myself tomorrow
I had the same problem, e-mailed ticketmaster and they said you should queue at the entrance that is stated on the main body of your ticket.

[victoria.l.moore]

I had the same problem, e-mailed ticketmaster and they said you should queue at the entrance that is stated on the main body of your ticket.

Thank you v much for that advice north east ramp it is then :)

[*Perrine*]

These news are not good at all... So only people who already know their gates will be able to queue in front of them early :\

[PolarMonkey]

Ah! I wish I didn't have the box office-problem...

me too... :\

this definitely ranks as 1 of my worst fears for the Box Office collection situation

[Liam]

It's not difficult is it? You queue where it says on your ticket, simple! You pick yourtickets up from the box office, its still gonna say where you have to queue on that ticket aswell

SIMPLES

[Mimixxx]

You can't pick up your tickets until later in the day though, meaning you wouldn't be able to queue until you have them.

Obviously being huge Coldplay fans most of us aren't gonna be happy being stuck halfway down the field looking at a big screen ;)

[Liam]

Thats just the way it goes im afraid, unless you can pick tickets up the day before

[Mimixxx]

Not neccessarily, we paid for these tickets back in November and we should have them! It's the fault of the ticket companies so obviously we're gonna kick up a fuss ;)

[OnMyOwnInASeparatSky]

Is the opening of the box office moved from 9 to 11? Because when I talked to seetickets some weeks ago they told me that I could collect my tickets from 9 o'clock...

[mc_squared]

I think everyone should now be listening to "Don't Panic" on repeat.............................. :thinking:

[a-chan]

I think everyone should now be listening to "Don't Panic" on repeat.............................. :thinking:
That's what will sing on the queue at the box office :laugh3:

[JereV]

This whole thing just sucks...

[victoria.l.moore]

I just spoke to wembley as my tickets look completly wrong the stubs say m and n and the main ticket says f and g. The ticket does say north east ramp which appears to contradict information earlier in the thread. The lady at wembley said that they print both gates on the tickets so that if you have friends you can queue together. She said that i should use north east ramp as stated and all would be fine. Can't say I'm filled with confidence tho!! Ho hum will find out on Friday I suppose?!?!

[coldpatrix]

So... the verdict is?

[worldtrav]

As far as I know there are only two ramps to queue from north east and south and then when it's time for door open you get lead to the turnstilles which are the gates printed on the tickets.
So what we all really need to know is what ramps are on the tickets we have.

I think one of the confusing things is that you don't actually queue in front of Entrance B but queue at South East Ramp.

P.

[coldpatrix]

How the entrances are placed?

[worldtrav]

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52090&page=292

have a look there, a map is posted.

However to bare in mind on entrance has several turnstilles, you go to the turnstilles, scan you ticket and the gate opens and after that you get the bag search.

P.

[coldpatrix]

As in Italian stadia... but we have to know something like...

we have two ramp, each of them opened to two entrances (for south ramp we have B or C). After the ramp access, are there other two entrances per ramp?

[vitaamine]

I think everyone should now be listening to "Don't Panic" on repeat.............................. :thinking:

the lyrics would be perfect "yeah everybody here has got somebody to lean on" ie a buddy to queue while we are searching for the tickets at the box office ahah

[mc_squared]

I have better information regarding the queuing. Will post as soon as possible.;)

[coldpatrix]

Ok we'll wait for it!

[Liam]

Only problems you might have is, with the tickets you scan them then the bars open to let you in, if your not at a right gate theres a chance its not gonna let you in!

[Clocks In My Place]

^All this and your sig makes me freak out inside. :uhoh:

Mark's news better be good.

[marianatsl]

where's mark with the news? he disappeared 2 hrs ago!!

[coldplaying-forever27]

Hello everyone!!!


Its Craig, and I have news which should comfort and calm everybody who is panicking like hell, about the ticket situation!


Following my chat with the afforementioned "Mr Martin Smithson" yesterday, I posted the information I was told immediately. This has seemingly changed since yesterday, which I am both tottally peed off about, and also heavenly relieved.

The guy i spoke to yesterday was not available, and i was passed around from 3 different lackies, until i got a very nice lady, by the name of Leanne. Now I explained to her that i was calling on behalf of many people attending the shows, and some of whome are coming from abroad to collect their tickets from the box office.

When I told her about Mr Smithsons comments from yesterday, and explained my concerns, she said to me, "You're Joking Right??!!!" To which I replied NO, and stated how worried i was, anyway she said that he has given me improper information, and that at a full staff meeting this morning, everyone was informed of the exact precedures that will be followe for the coldplay shows.

So here it goes:
There are only two ramps to queue at for anyone with GA tickets. Thes are the North-East and North-West ramps.

She told me that they have been made aware of concerns from fans collecting from the box office, and said that they "NOW WILL DEFINATELY ALLOW ANYONE WHO IS IN POSSESION OF A GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET, TO ENTER AT ANY OF THE GATES FOR THE SHOW."

Now she went on to say that all of the tickets printed for GA goers, were split into Gates Allocated, so there should be roughly the same amount of people in the two queues/ramps. This is becuase 50% of the GA people will be at H & J, which is to queue at the North-West ramp, and 25% have got B & C, and M & N each, therefore 25% x2 =50%, and these will queue at the North-East ramp, thus a fair split.

When you get your tickets from the box office, go back and join youre freinds/ fellow coldplayers, in the queue, and there will be no problem at all!
Also, the tickets are read from a barcode scanner at each turnstile, therfore Mr Smithsons comment of people being turned away is nonsense because its done by machine, and they are now programmed to let everyone who is GA, through any gate! (but this is a new developement from a staff briefing this morning, so it might not be Smithies fault, but maybe im being kind?).

So to some up, Anyone with H&J tix, are meant to queue at North-West ramp, and anyone with B&C or M&N are meant to queue at the North-East ramp. But it doesnt really matter. because you WILL be let in at either!!

Also an added bit, is that the Box Office opening time now is confirmed as, 11:00am.

Ok, so thats it I think, i spent a lot of time (and money, im dreading my phone bill :( ) finding this out today, but im certain it is worth it, and i hope that everyone is a lot better about stuff now, and can start looking forward to it again.

Over and out :D

[busybeeburns]

:o thanks!! :D

[Maltkvist]

Whoa that's great!:D

[JereV]

Yey... thank you very very veeeeery much!

Sorry but it doesn't so clear... the south east ramp?

[a-chan]

Thx Craig, you're a life saver!!!!! :kiss:

[mc_squared]

I had a long conversation with a guy from "security", and he told me pretty much the same as what Craig heard today.;)
Nobody I spoke to appeared to have heard of "Martin Smithson", so maybe he was a Radiohead fan who had infiltrated the Wembley staff or something.:rolleyes:
The security guy, Paul, said that the GA tickets will work through every GA turnstile, and the only way you might be directed to a specific queue is if you actually ask a member of the security staff to direct you.
He also said he had queued there himself before, so he is speaking from experience.
He said the security personnel are mostly concerned about people "pushing in", and are not going to check everyone's ticket as they queue.
His other advice was that if you had any concerns at all, you should ask a member of security when you arrive to avoid any problems later on.

He also confirmed there will be NO "golden circle" for the concert, just a completely open space.
So I think we can now all rest reasonably "easy".:cool:

[mc_squared]

Thx Craig, you're a life saver!!!!! :kiss:

How come? What were you planning to do??:stunned::rolleyes:

[Clocks In My Place]

SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!! :shocked2: :dance: :dance:

That is SO GREAT!! Thank you Craig!
Oh my... I can hardly believe that this is true! :happy:

[Denise]

Just received an answer from someone at Wembley about the mail I sent last week, here's what they wrote (15 minutes ago)

"Please queue at the entrance specified on ticket"

which is south-east

I guess they have really bad problems of communication :rolleyes:

[crazyduckette]

wow, no Golden Circle!! I didn't expect that :\

I suppose they only use it when there are concerts fans are likely to be a bit violent or are subject to pushing and surging from the back (a la Muse, that I went to before).

[*Perrine*]

I actually think they don't know what communication means Denise :dozey:

[lafferty23]

I have GA Tickets. Queue North-East Ramp, Entrance F&G.... :S Help lol

[r25d01]

thank you so very, very much!

[mc_squared]

I actually think they don't know what communication means Denise :dozey:

I think you'll find Wembley has a Miscommunication Department.:rolleyes:

[Jenjie]

soooooooooooo to sum it up then:

a) each ticket should advise a ramp (choice of 2)

b) if you queue at the ramp on your ticket you will be fine, because the turnstiles are programmed to accept the relevant GA tickets (debs advised Wembley can be extremely strict about following what your tickets say)

c) coldplayers with tickets can queue early at the relevant ramp, and should be able to save space for those collecting tickets from the box office. (although I am a little concerned about the comments of security focusing on people "pushing-in")

d) there is no golden circle so you need to rest all day in the queue and conserve your energy to sprint to the front

does that sound about right?

[mc_squared]

b) if you queue at the ramp on your ticket you will be fine, because the turnstiles are programmed to accept the relevant GA tickets (debs advised Wembley can be extremely strict about following what your tickets say)



The security guy I spoke to at length assured me that all GA tickets will work in any GA turnstile.;)
Therefore that shouldn't be an issue.

This makes things clearer. Am still a little uneasy, but less so.

[Jenjie]

Therefore that shouldn't be an issue.

forgive me for being cynical, but we've had 2/3 different stories on 2 different days from people who are supposed to be official. maybe they have heard about the panic and changed their policy to accomodate, but we won't know that for definite til fri.

Personally, if I were queuing from 9am I would want to be where my ticket tells me to queue to ensure I get in when the doors open and stand a chance of making front row. I would be mightily peed off to find out at 4pm that there had been mis-information and I now had to go and join the back of another queue.

if the ticket specifies 1 of 2 ramps, it'd be safer to queue at the ramp you've been allocated. especially as the coldplayers seem to be split relatively evenly between the 2.

[mc_squared]

So anyway, it appears that B&C and M&N will definitely be fine together.;)

[mc_squared]

forgive me for being cynical, but we've had 2/3 different stories on 2 different days from people who are supposed to be official.

It seems the first guy was only an official idiot.:lol:

[Clocks In My Place]

Yeah, was the guy even at the meeting this morning? :rolleyes: I mean, the staff didn't even know the guy. :thinking:

[mc_squared]

Yeah, was the guy even at the meeting this morning? :rolleyes: I mean, the staff didn't even know the guy. :thinking:

As I said, I think he was an "agent provocateur" from A*tease.................. :rolleyes:

[MrsSchokolade]

That information about the queue was absolutly precisous! I'm going to Wembley with a friend, and we also made a lot of phone calls regarding those matters '-.- ( we're portuguese ).
Now we have it all together=D

Thank you so much!

See u at Wembley! =D


*I ask u if you remember,
Prospekts, how could I forget?"

[Denise]

That's what I was thinking, the only problem being that if someone doesn't read coldplaying and has entrance M&N, s/he will never know s/he has to queue at north-east ramp since on the M&N entrance tickets it's stated to queue at south-west ramp, the same goes for B&C ticket holders, who have south-east ramp printed on the ticket.
All of this seems to be really bad managed, and I hope there is going to be someone on friday able to really tell us where we are supposed to queue :)

[Jayzo]

Cheers Craig, much appreciated!! :D

thank you so much Craig, it was really helpful !! Though I still have problem picturing the stadium and its ramps but I'll come and check friday...

are there any french people too who are coming on Sept 19th and have GA tickets to pick at the post office ? I'd be glad not to be alone on my expedition :)

[vitaamine]

oh and I was thinking, do you know how long the box office will be opened ?

There is me ;) I'll try to be around 10 AM at the box office.

[TheLizzy]

Thank you so much for the info!

@a-chan & @ vitaamine I'll be on my own as well...let's meet up at the box office @ 10am?

Oh I'd love to, I'd just like to find the box office LOL (I'm so bad with maps!!)

[a-chan]

@TheLizzie: I think there'll be plenty of yellow shirt at the box office, we won't be lost! (@?-+) :lol:
I'm coming with a friend, so I'm putting him on the queue at the closest gate while I'll be queueing at the box office.

As for where is the box, it's written on the map here (on the G spot)

I can see clearly now (the rain is goooone), thank you a-chan !! :D

[TheLizzy]

@a-chan: Thanks for the map! yeah you're right about meeting up at the box office...and you are very lucky to have a friend queueing while you're picking up your tix...

+@vitaamine where do you think we can meet then?

[Twisted mind]

OMG thank you so much for the information Craig! :drunk:

My only concern now is that I'm going with a friend, and we want to stay together in a queue, but what will happen if we have different locations printend on the tickets? :stunned: Do we have to split up then!?

This is slightly confusing! :bigcry:

[vitaamine]

Im coming with a friend so I'll also let her in the queue and Ill be the one picking the ticks! Lizzie about your idea to meet up at 10 am at the box office, i think its cool!

Hi, I only found this lovely forum in the past 3 days and it's so not fine to introduce myself here like this but I just gotta ask something to be sure because i'm about to lose my sanity. Please help me! My tickets are for B & C and say to queue at south east ramp and on the stubs it says G anf F . Now from what Craig here found out there are only 2 entries at the north??? so where should I queue??? Will there be guards early friday morning to tell me where to stand???lol
Even though the explanation here was good i'm still just really confused and i'm leaving on Thursday for London and I gotta understand this first. Customer services didn't help me really and i'm shocked that a place like Wembley isn't as organized as I thought it will be.

[busybeeburns]

well, I've just received an email from Seetickets and also just spoken to them on the phone and they told me the tickets will be available for collection when the doors open AKA 4pm :dozey:

[coldplaying-forever27]

Ian, the lady i spoke to has said not to take what the ticket companies say, as gospel.

She said in no uncertain terms that the box office will be open at 11am, precisely.

that's what Ticketmaster told me too, but then on other days that i've called them, i've also been told "from noon" (x 2) & "from 11AM" + when i called Wembley, i was generally told "should be from 10AM". :dozey:

[busybeeburns]

Thanks folks, this only affects me on the Friday, heaven knows what it's like for people waiting for tickets for both nights, especially the 19th.

Looks like the Seetickets double act tonight of Darren and Louise are excelling themselves :dozey:

[MartinFan]

Arlene told me my tickets would be at the Box office 4pm and on:\ I'm sure everything will work out fine, everybody:kiss:

I am waiting for tickets for both nights :'( I was wondering, do u think I can pick my tickets for the 2nd night on friday ? Dammit I paid for them too, I dont see the point in waiting one more day to have them... this is nerve wrecking seriously...

You will be on the Guestlist which normally lands at the boxoffice not before 4pm/5pm - so don't confuse that with the general boxoffice pick up for tickets.

What does this mean? I've been told the same thing by seetickets, but I'm not sure now should be at the line 10am (love to be at the front row) or just around 4pm as they say?

With current information that I have from this thread, I'm heading to the box office at 10am to get the tickets and my friends are going to the actual line so we can get as front as possible...

It's funny how easy thing as this can become so complicated :cool:

It wouldn't be complicated if they 'd send the tickets right after you paid them online like they do in every other country :uhoh:
