They keep telling me that they can NOT do it. That there are NO exchanges or refunds whatsoever. HOW did you get that person to do it? Seriously, what did you tell them? What did they tell you?

It depends, I got a better ticket on the general sale. As you can see on my signature, I got two separate seats on Section 7 on the Tampa venue.
Section 7 is not as bad as it sounds, I'll be seating on the 17th row from the left side of the stage.

I got that seat because:
a) I search for a single ticket for me, then for a single ticket for my sister
b) I did the general sale, where all sections are supposed to be available, rather the alloted sections for the pre-sale
c) I searched around 2339483720 times!

Overall, pre-sales are traumatic, stressing and BS!

PRE-SALES =

The Joker · 19-03-2009, 09:22 PM

so i am guessing all day today people didn't have luck with pre-sales? and are tickets still good for the gerneral sale? Like are there still tickets close to the stage left?

kmm1482 · 19-03-2009, 10:34 PM

Yeah. Thats pretty much all thats left are the best seats. Presales are ONLY a select few sections that are available

Malcolm-Edge · 20-03-2009, 12:53 AM

Same story for me. Got online right at 10 last friday, armed with multiple Pre-sale codes. And well i got the shaft. Now Im against the back wall. I was ready to raise some hell. I was upset, it ruined my day. Till they added the second show. So same thing, and I was qucick this time, 5 seconds at most. Well it payed off. Section 106 Row 4.

This is in GM Place vancouver, 20 sections side stage being 104. So Im pretty satisfied with my new seats. I get to see them twice, two different angles. A true die hard fan in the nose bleeds. And a true die hard fan in the thick of things 20 feet away from the stage.

Im sorry for your ticket woes. My advice, cant beat them, join them. I fully intend to install the programs they use, as to not get shafted for U2. I dont see the problem of an actual fan doing what they do to get tickets, and good ones at that. I say "Fuck you" to all you god damned scalpers, youre scum and should be ashamed of yourselves.

Im gonna go, and have the time of my life. You didnt ruin for me, and you arent getting my hard earned cash.

Im still really pissed. Im going to give it a shot tomorrow, hopfully i can get something worth the money. Im just aiming at the front 3 sections

justpeachy · 20-03-2009, 01:29 AM

i cant believe how much you have to pay in FEES! not only do you get a crappy selection but then to add insult to injury they charge you every fee they can think of!!

Well I kept my shit ones. But I got within 3 sections. Pick up whatever comes first. Of the 20 or so people, I have the best tickets. I did it as fast as possible, and just bought the first 2 that came up. You'll get good seats!

And to all you people with ticket woes. Just remember, no matter what, you are all going to see Coldplay! Dont let ticketmaster ruin it for you!

In a telescope lens · 20-03-2009, 01:35 AM

My brother had pit seats for me, but the dumb ass site wouldn't let him order them!!!!!

So now i'm stuck in section 201 row v, right in front of the fucking lawn. The kicker? He did this at 10 and people who got on at 3 pm to do it are in section 101 and have way better seats than me.

Livenation sucks ass and presales are dumb as shit, that's my opinion.

jensgt · 20-03-2009, 01:54 AM

My question is how do people get those tickets that are on sale on stubhub before any of the sales....that they are charging 1000 for??? Also if you got crap tickets just buy tickets again at the general sale...its Coldplay, you will be able to sell whatever crap you have.

I was prepared for dissapointment by reading a thread made around January called "2009 North American presales???" where this member called TigerMilk made some realistic assessments on how the presales work and ticketing in general. He says he worked for Tickermaster as an auditor, so no wonder he knows a lot. He might sound blunt, but I think he was being realistic.

Nevertheless, if Live Nation, Ticketmaster, or whoever had at least the decency to put an asterik * saying "pre-sale tickets are only certain alloted sections. If you want a close seat, shell out some major $$$$$$"
