Hi

Hope you have fun

You'll see them 3 days before I do!

shaggy037 · 19-01-2009, 04:56 AM

Hi I hope I'm putting this in the right area. I have 2 tickets for Mon 9th March show at Brissie on the floor and was wondering if anyone with seated tix would like to swap with me. Due to me being such a shortarse I'm thinking I probably won't see much on the floor. I'm looking for tix in either sections S8A, S46A, S13, or S42.

Thanks heaps.

busybeeburns · 19-01-2009, 06:24 PM

welcome to coldplaying! keep bumping your request and there's bound to be someone willing to help out, especially at the date nears

shaggy037 · 20-01-2009, 01:44 AM

Thanks for the advice and the welcome Busybeebums

Andy14 · 01-03-2009, 06:31 AM

A week to go and this thread is on page four. Time to drum up some excitement with some anticipatory thread boldness!

shaggy037 · 05-03-2009, 04:30 AM

I have a spare ticket for Mon 9th in GA3 I'm selling at face value if anyone has a friend looking for a ticket.

StarsKay · 05-03-2009, 01:44 PM

Hmmm, believe it or not, NOT, but if someone would like a GA11 (General Admission ticket, 2nd half of the arena standing) I am *gasps* willing to sell it. I have a mountain of other committments which makes getting to the concert nearly impossible. I'll do it if no one snaps this ticket up. It originally cost me $150, but I am sooOOooOOOooo willing to sell for
$110

I ended up only getting 1 which means a lonely night of amazing entertainment for myself, but if someone else is going and is in the GA11 area and wants an extra ticket for a family member or friend, please send me a message. I just really want someone to enjoy the most of what the ticket has to offer.

Trust me, I am kicking myself for not getting a ticket for the Monday show!

Anyway, I REALLY need to sell this. If I go, I'll have to leave half way just to make sure I have a way to get home. Seriously, if anyone is interested, PLEASE message me about this!

StarsKay · 05-03-2009, 02:59 PM

BUMP

emmak3 · 06-03-2009, 05:42 AM

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. I have to get rid of a ticket to Sunday nights show. It's right UP THE FRONT standing section GA12. I can't make it due to a death in the family. Please get in contact with me ASAP if you'd like the ticket and I'll sell it at cost price $140.

Andy14 · 07-03-2009, 07:56 PM

I can't believe this is tonight! I'll do my best to Twitter some updates after the soundcheck etc.

SO excited

busybeeburns · 07-03-2009, 11:29 PM

is this you??

AndyMcCray: Never been so excited in my life. Meeting Coldplay tonight! Will try and do some live updates from the behind-the-scenes jazz. Peace.
