How come we true fans don't get a pre-sale special?!

Coldplay returns to Boston. It's like they never left.

Coldplay returns to Boston next July 29 for a gig at the TD Garden. It's part of a North American tour announced today and kicking off in Edmonton in April, in support of their debuted-at-No.-1 "Mylo Xyloto" album. Yes, they're coming back, but you're forgiven if you haven't exactly been missing them.

Adele and Lady Gaga can try, but no one has matched the ubiquity of Coldplay's music in this century. Briefly an underdog critical favorite, they're now everyband for the masses, sonic wallpaper lining our Starbucks world. I was at a church Christmas fair the other day, browsing a friend's photographs, and when some girl sat down at the piano in the corner to amuse herself, it was "Clocks" she picked out on the 88s. Of course. I just googled "I hate Coldplay" and got 23,000,000 results. That sort of backlash is inevitable these days of course. But who can really hear anything new that Coldplay does now, what with "Clocks" and "The Scientist" and "Yellow" and ten more soundalike hits rattling around in our brains - no, wait, it's not an ear worm, that girl's actually playing it. They're the band so popular that nobody listens to them anymore. Kind of a melancholy place to be, when you think about it.

But that doesn't mean the show won't sell out. An American Express cardholder presale for tix begins Monday at 10 am; sales to the general public begin Dec. 17 at 10 am.Â Tickets are available at 1-800-745-3000, Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com. The band will also be seen on "Austin City Limits" on PBS on New Year's Eve.

Tickets keep popping up for the Loges - are they in the very back on the floor?

notlost92 · 12-12-2011, 04:38 PM

they're the first tiered section but I don't think they're doing floor seats through presale- all of the options I got were in the loges...

Coldplaying@Hogwarts · 12-12-2011, 08:49 PM

I GOT FLOOR SEATS, SECTION C, ROW 16. LEGIT I WILL BE 16 FEET AWAY FROM CHRIS.

MXHLH · 12-12-2011, 09:21 PM

MXHLH · 12-12-2011, 09:24 PM

From my experience there will be floor seats on sale when they go on regular sale. But I can't be certain.. I feel like the presales always gave decent seats but nothing extraordinary.
