[4-May-2012] Coldplay @ Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, CA, USA - Page 4

Also, about stubhub. I have sold and bought tickets on stubhub. While I'm not defending the availability of tickets on stubhub, one thing to consider are their fees when thinking that the scalpers are out to make a lot of $$. Stubhub charges the seller a fee of 15% on the price of every ticket sold, so just to break even sometimes, the seller must charge at least that much more than the ticket price. This doesn't excuse those sellers charging 5x face value, but that is a cost that must be considered. Also, the buyer pays an ADDITIONAL service fee of 10% just to buy the tickets, and if the tickets are hard copies, the only shipping option is FedEx 2 day, which the buyer also pays. I'm not sure if there is an additional fee for e-tickets. So stubhub makes 25% of the sales price of any ticket as their profit/fees.

I just wish there was a more equitable way to sell tickets. Maybe paperless is the way to go in the future...at least to ensure availability to most fans.

LikoFTW · 09-01-2012, 07:39 PM

any idea when more tickets will be released ?

LikoFTW · 09-01-2012, 07:43 PM

yeah, kroq didnt work for me, and general sales f*ed me

nothing99 · 09-01-2012, 10:14 PM

in cases like this bands typically add another show with no presale just a straight up general sale so its fair for everyone who wants to go to have a chance but seeing as how they already have 3 dates lined up in LA, 4 seems unlikely although the demand is definitely there..

LFDianne · 09-01-2012, 11:12 PM

Right now, between stub hub and ebay, there are roughly 10,000 tickets on sale between the 3 dates. I've been watching stub hub sales today, and I'd say maybe 500 sold today. Not sure how many have sold on ebay. But in any case, that's a HUGE number of tickets on the resale market. It really hurts the fans to have this happen.

i still didn't get tickets for this show.. hoping some show up on ticketmaster and i get lucky with GA tix.

nothing99 · 10-01-2012, 09:36 PM

well i ended up buying off stubhub, section E row 7 for $190 each.

i wonder how much those seats went for regular price.

I'm pretty sure that section were the $109.50 seats.

I'm excited for the forth, but that's because it's my birthday, lol. Wish I had the funds to celebrate the day with Coldplay though! Oh well, my date with them on April 25th will be an early bday pressie!

GreenBee · 28-01-2012, 10:42 PM

I'm crazy stupid excited about 1st, 2nd, and 4th. Going to all three. Starting towards the back on night one, Terrace box on night two making my way to Garden box for Friday night.

Man, I can't wait.

Dude, nice! This will be my first Coldplay show. I'm going with 3 others but unfortunately our seats are scattered across the venue, as we couldn't get any grouped seats from Ticketmaster, and we didn't want to get scammed by stubhub. ah well.

[edit] Actually, this will be my first concert in general.

aschall · 25-02-2012, 07:50 PM

I'm going to this concert! Totally stoked, bra.

Oh hi there. Fancy seeing you here, mr. pacman. but asdfghghigfhirghihgirhb I wish the seats weren't all spread out. I still feel like there's some way to try to address that problem? the same thing had to have happened to other people who want to switch... is there some sort of website where we won't get spammed?
