General Admission

justpeachy · 14-05-2008, 12:37 AM

I have been to a few coldplay concerts in the past, but i had tickets for seats. My question is - how good are general admission tickets? Is it worth it to get them? And how early before the show did you get there to get a decent spot??

GET GENERAL!

They are awesome because you can get RIGHT up to the fence and stage.

Depends how much you want to get right right at the front. Me? IF it's general admission in Winnipeg, which I hope, I'll be there like 3 hours early. Maybe more, with my friends.

But then. Coldplay probably doesn't have as huge a fan as me.

GA is the only way to go. i was one person from the stage, so damn close to sweaty chris lol and theres perks!
you might catch the camera the boys each throw to the crowd, amazing photos, maybe even reach out and touch chris (seeing how he manages to be all over the stage all the time) and after the show they give out picks, setlists etc.

and people tend to get into more then the people seating apparently.

when i went i went a few hours before hand and sat by the gates but no spots are guaranteed. but ur chance is increased it all comes down to how much you want it and a lil luck. worth it but

GA is the way to go. I went to Tampa in 2006 and was RIGHT against the fence. These tickets cost me 150 on ebay a piece NOTHING can compare to that. I got there at 3 and the gates opened at 6. When I got there, 10-15 people were there at the most and we sat right by the gate. I also got JOhnnys pick at the end. I would travel anywhere were there is a GA show in a heartbeat, but as of yet that havent announced any in the US....
