redcurry · 20-06-2008, 01:11 AM

ahhhh reallly? mmannn i was so sad that i'd lose my tickets again so i bought them =( and i only have one presale code =(
i suppose its alright, i'm just going to wait till saturday. ahhhhhhhhhhh i'd kill to have row 2!

ryansn · 20-06-2008, 05:32 AM

Its ok man, they'll be tonnnnes of tickets left. Not many people used the presale code for Ottawa. Go to Sports Experts Saturday morning. Its better than ordering online for sure.

ryansn · 21-06-2008, 08:57 PM

I went to Sports Experts at St. Laurent at 8:30am. There were 3 people waiting. By around 9:30 thre were about 14 people, not too many. I ended up getting floor seats. Floor Section C Row 30. This afternoon they still had good seat in the 100 Level.

Takieya · 21-06-2008, 09:33 PM

How did everyone do getting tickets today? We ended up using our Best Buy Presale code on Thursday and ended up on the floor. Section B Row 26. They're much better seats than what we ended up with for the Montreal show. We can't wait!

redcurry · 22-06-2008, 12:50 AM

yeah, so i used my presale code and got row 15 sec C which I'm really glad i used because the best i could get was row 18 today. i don't understand where all of the other rows go. it is like they disappear into the air when the tickets go onsale haha. ah well, i'm pretty happy with my tickets.
also, i think the presale was handled very well because all presale tickets can only be picked up express (at scotiabank on the day of the concert) and I suppose this must help to ensure or at least help them from being sold or scalped (i called in to try and change the delivery method so that i could go pick them up sports experts).

Obtained two tickets via pre-sale (using Bestbuyrewardzone code).

Was told that only shipping method available was, indeed, pick-up at the kiosk at Scotiabank.

However, was also informed that tickets could be retrieved anytime (from the present moment until the night of the concert).

That way, people can avoid waiting in a long line with other pre-sale ticket purchasers.

YMMV --- Please call first, to confirm this information is actually correct, before driving all the way to Scotiabank to retrieve your pre-sale tickets.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

ythibodeau · 23-06-2008, 03:02 PM

I got 7th row on the floor, dead center.

I just called Capital Tickets to confirm, and they told me that you can only pick up presale tickets the day of the show. My information also says nothing about this, so I wanted to confirm it myself too. Just wanted to save anyone the trouble of calling!

ryansn · 23-06-2008, 03:20 PM

See you guys at the show! Tickets are selling fast for an Ottawa venue. Most Ottawa shows take months to sell out and usually aren't busy unless its Sale date or weeks before show. Closest you can find now are 200L seats for 1 person.

ythibodeau · 23-06-2008, 03:22 PM

Where are your seats you guys?

Minnmess · 24-06-2008, 01:02 AM

I was out of town for the weekend and had to rely on a friend to get tickets, but she got 109, so im pretty happy. We were spoiled last time they were in Ottawa and were in row 7 or 8, so this is a little sad, but not bad at all.
TO in July and then then Ottawa in Oct! Whee!

Floor C Row 30, you? It's stupid cause I was supposed to buy 10 tickets originally but because of price all but me and my friend cancelled so we wented up getting shady floor seats. If I were to have used my presale code I would have gotten Floor B Row 4!

I got floor A, row 7, aisle seat

And they are aisle seats closer to B - not against the boards, so I'm in the middle

ryansn · 25-06-2008, 04:36 PM

shit your lucky. Oh well a least I got floor seats. It'll be thefirst time I see a Coldplay concert on the floor and i'm sre I can't be that far back.
