England are playing Belgium on June 2nd. Otherwise I'm pretty sure they'd have chosen Wembley. I guess its a shame they're not playing Wembley, but it'll be nice to see them play a new stadium.

Hey guys,

So me and a friend managed to get hold of some seated tickets for the saturday show at the emirates. Really, we wanted standing tickets but thought that seated would be better then nothing (they are seated side view aswell).

Anyway, if we have seated tickets, do you think they would let us go in the standing area anyway, or do they usually have people checking tickets for the standing area? From what I can remember, when I went to the wembley stadium gig you showed your ticket to get in, and then if you had a seated ticket you showed your ticket to get to your seat, otherwise you could just walk into the standing area.

I don't think so.

I have two unreserved seating / stading tickets.
How early do we have to arrive to get one of the unreserved seatings? We are in London for only a few days and do not want to wait and stay at the Stadium for half a day...

I'm in exactly the same position (got 2 unreserved seating/standing tickets, but we want unreserved seats rather than to be standing). I was thinking that of the people queuing up with unreserved seating/standing tix, most of them will probably be going for the standing area so the unreserved seats shouldn't fill up too quickly, but tbh i don't know.

Anyone got any advice on how long we need to queue up for?

At Wembley I arrived half an hour before the gates opened and had the pick of really great seats (although a friend was already waiting for me). Most people there at that time wanted to get the standing I think. But I think the gates opened at Wembley a couple of hours earlier (?)

I'm going to this gig and will be doing the same thing (half an hour before gates) if I can. But I may not be able to

In which case I may be asking for some kind person to keep a couple of seats for me on here

I would imagine the door you will go though will lead to the seating area, so you won't have access to the standing area.

Black Rose · 25-05-2012, 11:13 PM

I will probably aim for the unreserved seating, I'm too weak to do the massive pushing anymore. Especially if the weather is like it is at the moment, it's going to be roasting with all the bodies wedged up against each other.

Doors open at 5pm right?

paradise2012 · 26-05-2012, 01:11 PM

My mum managed to get ticket from someone who was unable to go. I'm going with my mum on June 2nd. So excited that I do not have far to go. As I live at the back of the Emirates anyway. Bring it on.

kevinvram · 26-05-2012, 03:45 PM

I can't wait... Next Saturday... It'll be my first coldplay gig EVER... Eeeeek! I will not be able to sleep a wink for the rest of the week...

Standing area usually get wristbands, not the flashing ones! so unless you have one you can't get into standing area, not sure if this is the case for emirates but more than likely.
