Same. We have three separate tickets in the g2 section for me and two of my friends 4 rows from each other... Guess it will be a game day hustle for trades!

The three Hollywood Bowl shows (May 1, 2 & 4) go on general sale at 10am LA time today (ie in 6 mins) - cldp.ly/cpnatr A

gotcheese2768 · 09-01-2012, 05:58 PM

i need tickets for this show!

gotcheese2768 · 09-01-2012, 06:02 PM

sucks already

Did you see the number of tickets on stubhub? Over 2200 for May 4, and 3800-3900+ for May 1 and 2. That's like 20% of the total capacity of the Hollywood Bowl. Crazy. It's like the general sale isn't even necessary anymore.

Yea absolutely ridiculous. I don't have an AMEX card so wasn't able to get anything for that presale and then nothing for this. I can't believe Coldplay doesn't have a fan club that sells tickets directly to fans for actual ticket price and not have us rely on these awful scalpers and third party sources.

I can't believe how little was available for the general sale. Luckily enough I had an AmEx. Didn't realize you couldn't get VIP without an AmEx--that's outrageous. I knew the Hollywood Bowl was a little ridiculous and pricey, but stubhub basically has the entire thing on lockdown. And what are we supposed to do, pay double and triple ticket prices cos we're not magic scalpers who can somehow get their hands on amazing tickets?

A fan club would be great. Just anything that doesn't involve ticketmaster...which is an insanely idealistic dream, unfortunately.

gotcheese2768 · 09-01-2012, 06:29 PM

more tickets do get released but it's like you have to be lucky to catch them at the right time.

I do have tickets for May 1 and 2 (got lucky and have excellent seats), but I also have ticketmaster gift cards that I couldn't use for the Amex presale. I wanted to take my kids to May 4, and use my giftcards to pay for them, but I couldn't even get 2 together, much less 5, or even 2 and 3. Sorry kids

gotcheese2768 · 09-01-2012, 06:34 PM

now i can't even get a single ticket. :/

It's outrageous how the stubhub can get so many tickets! Ticketmasters really ought to do something to prevent that from happening. It'll be great if Coldplay setup a fan club and sell tickets to us directly. (like R.E.M.)

I thought they would hold some tickets for general sale. But what is available today seems to be just leftover from last week presale. Sad for those who don't have Amex.

Ticketmaster owns stubhub.
Edit: No I guess they don't own stub hub, but I have seen links that connect the two. Ebay owns Stubhub though.

Really?!! No wonder it's so hard for fans to get good tickets. So not fair! I'm glad I got good seats at last week preale. Won't stand a chance at general sale!
