Best things to come home to after being overseas; Get home and finally see my MX album package waiting to be opened in my room, get onto the computer and check Coldplaying and see Coldplay touring Australia

. Not going to believe until its confirmed but, I also thought they'd only tour in 2013 but if anything i'd also say late november/early december

As long as the ticket prices don't rise substantially, I'm happy. It was hard enough forking out $140 for a GA ticket in 2009 when it was already said that we wouldn't have much higher ticket prices than in X&Y era

Coldpl@y · 31-01-2012, 09:31 AM

Wow! How awesome....although won't fully celebrate until an official announcement is made.

I do think this means they'll tour though....if Eddie dropped Michael Gudinski's name and said that's what was discussed....it's pretty likely! Whoo hoo!

Multiple Melbourne dates please!!!!!

Coldplay expected to announce Australian tour in late 2012 during trip to Sydney this month

To tour Australia ... Coldplay's Chris Martin is playing two shows in Sydney later this month before national tour later in year.

ROCKERS Coldplay are expected to announce an Australian tour for late 2012 during a quick visit to Sydney this month.

The supergroup, whose single Paradise is the biggest hit of their 15-year career, will head to Sydney directly after performing at the Grammys on February 12.

Chris Martin and mates will play intimate shows for 2DAY FM and Sunrise during their two-day visit on February 16 and 17, which is being sponsored by Huawei Mobile.

Bands once regarded corporate sponsorship as "selling out" but Sydney would have lost Lady Gaga's Monster Hall concert and The Pussycat Dolls' Sydney Opera House gala if Vodafone and X-Box respectively hadn't picked up the tab.

Coldplay played at Splendour In The Grass six months ago on the eve of finishing their record Mylo Xyloto, which went double platinum yesterday.

Martin will be hoping the tour gives Paradise the push it needs to make it to the top of the charts, which would give Coldplay their first No.1 single in Australia.

He has joked he is jealous his wife Gwyneth Paltrow beat him to that feat - with her Huey Lewis duet Cruisin' reaching No.1 here in 2000.

$140?! Any idea how much that is in pounds? I need to know if I'm gonna have any chance of seeing them this year.

Blimey! Is that a normal amount for a concert ticket? (forgive me, I don't know anything about concerts

)

J4MIE · 31-01-2012, 09:16 PM

It's usually about £50 ish for GA and of course the dreaded "booking fee". I would imagine that the $140 would be for a specifically reserved area at the front so would therefore be more.

But the cost varies with venue and seating arrangements, etc. Just try to get them from the official channels before they sell out otherwise you are talking mega $$$$$$$$ (as I found out booking for Madrid). Unless you know a generous coldplayer on here......

I am watching for news of dates of this in particular!!

Tash · 31-01-2012, 10:42 PM

According to this website the the shows will be streamed live at the Huawei Mobile Facebook page

And you can win tickets

givelovesolong · 01-02-2012, 12:45 AM

Wow. According to that article you posted, Tash, Coldplay will be moving on from the arenas and starting to hit up the stadiums -- in Melbourne, anyway.

And I want a set of those tickets. Bad.

No, that was for a ticket to GA as a whole. No special area. It was $140.

If this happens I get stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rock being forking out HEAPS for tickets to Etihad, and the hard place being going to Sydney for an arena show.
I realise I probably sound really whiny bitching about the money but it's problematic when you really want to go to sth and realise you aren't made of moneys
