I shouldn't be too mad because I saw them Tuesday, but still... all that excitement and build up leading to a second show and then bam... it's gone like that. I'm gonna write a post on tumblr in a bit!

Unhappy Fans Fall Victim to Fake Coldplay Ticket Internet Scammers
Some fans who paid $200-$400 per seat on Craigslist and other sites for Coldplay's concert at the Hollywood Bowl find their tickets are fakes.

Some very disappointed music fans who paid top dollar to see the band Coldplay ended up getting the cold shoulder instead.

Fans who found some of the tickets on Craigslist, Stubhub, eBay, and other Internet sites -- and paid in the $200-$400 range per seat for Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl -- were stunned and disappointed to find that the tickets were phonies.

The Coldplay shows were sellouts at the Bowl, and Hollywood Bowl COO Arvinv Manocha conceded it was a very unfortunate situation. "There was nothing we could do for these unlucky people who were bilked," Manocha said. "Because it was a sellout, there were no other valid tickets to be sold to them."

The takeaway for these and other fans? Stick with the safety of Ticketmaster, and don't be drawn into "too good to be true" ticket finds on other sites on the Internet. By avoiding third-party ticket vendors, fans should be able to avoid the cold reality of fake Coldplay tickets, and fraudulent scams for other shows as well.

Someone off Craigslist. Looking back on it, as if buying off Craigslist isn't much of a mistake already, there were so many stand out points that made me aware that something was wrong. But what's weird was that the guy showed us a ticketmaster receipts for the tickets!

Definitely not mad at Coldplay though. Just a bit sad!

Same thing happened to me, but in my case, I noticed they were fake when I got home after I bought them a couple months ago. The seat numbers said 1, 2, 3, 4 when in fact that row and section had seat numbers that started 101, 102, 103 , 104

I went to the Hollywood police station and reported it. They took my tickets and confirmed they were fakes and that the same group of people had been doing it using a hollywood business address as their exchange point with victims.

The police had me look at a lineup and nobody looked familiar as to who sold me the tickets, but then about a month later they said they had arrested a couple more people in the scam and sent me another lineup and sure enough the guy was on there and I pointed him out. I went back to the station and circled the picture, etc. Hopefully he gets convicted and I get some kind of restitution.
