TalkShowHost Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 You know, I really don't think TicketMaster can be blamed for tickets selling out in mere SECONDS. They CAN be blamed for their high fees. Just be careful with generalizations. Jusitne...I'm still trying. :blush: Oh, and to REPORT THESE poor people with too many tickets on their hands and who are trying to sell tix for an event in ONTARIO far beyond FACE VALUE go here: http://pages.ebay.ca/help/contact_inline/index.html choose: 1. "Report a listing policy violation or prohibited (banned) item" 2 "Prohibited (banned) items." 3. "Tickets." I'm still not sure how to let Coldplay's managment know; surely they must be aware?

*Justine* Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 This show was for the media and scalpers (and people who want to pay scalper pirces) not for true fans. Don't feel too bad ifyou didn't get tickets. I heard that 1000 of these tickets (out of 2000) went to the media, so only 500 people got tickets, and that is really small.

munkyman Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hello, After reading all the posts, I felt I should tell my story. It was 9:35am and my work collegue and I decided to go down to the ticketmaster outlet at the Rogers center ( skydome) and try our luck. We got there at 9:45 and ended up through the random draw being number 3 and 4 in line. I felt bad for the girl who was behind us as she said she was in line since 6:30am. Well, as luck would have it, we were able to get tickets. I don't know about the others in line and how many got tickets, but I think the guy behind the window printed out as many as he could and then settled up with the fans after. All I know is that my wife is probably still screaming in disbelif that she is going to be going to see one of her top bands in a club setting!!!! What a good husband!!!!!! My work collegue has just informed me that after checking his calender he might not be able to make it. SO, there might be two available. Let me know and I will pass it along to him. Sorry to hear about all the people that couldn't get tix. Is it confirmed that it sold out in seconds?? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackerjack Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 well for those of you in toronto...on ebay, the prices will be ridiculous, because of the high demand for the tickets...but if you go on the day of the show, scalpers will sell it for much cheaper, because if they dont, its just a waste of their money, and they will have to get rid of it, so they will sell it for about 70-80 dollars a ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalkShowHost Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 CONGRATS, MIKE & Mike's wife!!!! =) I don't think it's confirmed, yet. Still isn't showing sold out on the ticketmaster site. Looks like you had a good TM agent. I'm more upset about the "scalpers" on eBay. I know it's a publicity gig, but it should also be for the fans. Not Industry people who know how to kiss butt. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Justine* Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 It's sold out on HOB, has been all morning. And yes, congrats Mike, if there is chance you have extra, I would be extremely interested (check PMs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, once the show starts, or is halfway through, they will lower the prices for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackerjack Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 haha well if they play the same set list i wouldn't mind missing the first 2 songs to pay a lower price, because i've heard square one, which is a great song, but at the actually venue at the day of the concert, they know there gonna have to get rid of the tickets, so they will sell them for cheap...definitely cheaper than ebay people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackerjack Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 i hate ticketmaster so much, they are so bad, they charge you so much, and to top it all off, they sold out the damn coldplay gig!! DAMN YOU TICKETMASTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Justine* Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 It's too bad that we don't have an alternative to Ticketmaster. They have complete monopoly over concert sales. I go to a lot of shows and I almost always use ticketmaster because there is nothing else. At least if you live in TOronto, you can get Toronto ticket sales at shops like Rotate This, Sonic Temple, but some people can't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackerjack Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 yeah thats true, they sell them at some record stores too, but i guess ticketmaster is taking over everything..damn them to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvargas Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 That really sucks for all of you that couldn't get tickets...I can't believe that it sold out so quickly over there....it's really strange... that is annoying if it is true that a lot of the tickets went to the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackerjack Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 yeah the gig is for the media mostly, and even though i dont want to go to a gig like that, i know ill end up going anyways, and paying a ridiculous amount for it...all i can say is that i cant wait for when they will go to the air canada centre, when over 18000 screamings FANS and fans only will be there to watch their favourite band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Justine* Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 ACC is about 20,000 people. I saw them at the Sears Theatre in Toronto (which is half of the ACC) that was a great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~sketchy~shortie~ Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 i'm absolutely livid...not only at the fact that i didn't get tickets, even tho i was refreshing the page constantly 5 mins before 10...and that 3 other people I know were trying as well, but the fact that 4 mins later i see tickets being sold on ebay for 600 bucks US!?!? it's disgusting...not only does it take tickets away from people who actually want to see them live, and give them to people who just buy for profit, it also makes it FAWKING impossible for coldplay fans to get them at a reasonable price…don’t get me wrong, I would pay up to 150 bucks for a ticket, maybe a bit more…but come on…I just checked on e-bay and a pair of tickets has reached 866 dollars US…866 US!?!? that's 1,069.77 CAN...at the exchange rate right now...and there’s still one day left for bidding!!!…I say we boycott these people!!! The more people who give in to these ridiculous prices, the higher the prices will go…I SAY BOYCOTT E-BAY!! E-BOOO!!!! Ps. I know all I’ve said has probably been said already…but please refrain from devalueing my post…it’s just me needing to vent…thanks, from a really crushed coldplay fan… :cry: ->shortie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvargas Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Yah, that E-bay crap sucks...I wouldn't pay that much for a pair of tickets... How do these people get the tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
