If Charlotte was on the TicketMaster website I would use them in a heartbeat, but right now only LiveNation is selling.

Oh my gosh, you could sell one to me. I want to travel to NC, but I've trying to buy a ticket today and every offer sucks more than the other.

Also, try going now on Live Nation. One search did offer me a ticket in Section 1, Row P (good seat it seems). I just don't want to spend that much if I still don't know if I can get to NC from Florida

Since Ticket Rush tix are not refundable, I'll wait til tomorrow to buy a lawn tix that I can hopefully refund.

The Missouri show isn't on TicketMaster either. I wonder why. I've bought through them before.

Hi folks!

Generally, there is no better way to get tickets. I used to work for ticketmaster-i auditted their systems and accounts. Generally most of the best seats never make it on-sale to the public. The best seats go to venue promoters, band, record company etc. Presales are better than average tickets but not the best.
General sale will usually have the best of what is left. Then we have ticketmaster auctions for premium seats. So to get great seats for coldplay means essentially paying a premium or hoping you know someone. I can verfiy that seldom did many seats in the first five rows ever make general sale-only a few bands have fair access radiohead, RATM, ACDC are the biggest names to do so. Coldplay allow the premium seat auctions, something I am very against. Essentially it means you have to pay more than $125 per seat-and Ticketmaster and the band share the profits.

Hope that helps! I am more than happy to answer any queries!

That's why standing areas are the fairest way.

localola86 · 13-02-2009, 01:51 AM

^standing areas? you mean, the lawn area?

Hi folks,
I have a big problem. I'm from Germany and i want to buy tickets for the show in Tampa, FL, USA 08/09/09.
livenation.com doesn't send to a german adress.
ticketmaster.com doesn't list this concert.

Can anyone help me?

Regards,
kings

i can only think of ebay..and that will obviously be more expensive..sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for...

Denise · 17-02-2009, 11:06 AM

Hey kings, welcome to the wrong side of the world

there's no way a non US/canada citizen can buy the tickets in a normal way if the concert is not listed on ticketmaster. If you know someone living in those two countries who can buy the tickets fro you go for it, otherwise ebay seems to be the only other way.
I have to buy tickets for Tampa as well and me and my friends are relying on someone living in the US..maybe this time we will get better seats than lawn

localola86 · 18-02-2009, 04:13 AM

^I wish I could buy your tickets...but I have never bought tickets for other people

viva_la_hova · 05-03-2009, 09:51 PM

Hi,

Does anyone now where is currently the best place to buy tickets for the viva la vida tour?

Many thanks :-)

strawberryfields · 06-03-2009, 04:54 AM

Ticketmaster.com or LiveNation.com are probably the two most reliable (at least in the States).

viva_la_hova · 06-03-2009, 09:52 PM

ok thanks, i will check. i am looking to go in the UK :-)
