acousjim Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 did anyone get tickets? Nope, I had 3 computers, 2 phones going. I was in the system within 15 seconds and it was already sold out. That was unreal, I didn't think they would see out that fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 how is that even possible? i mean are they throwing credit cards and money at the tellers in line at the metro? or do they give tickets to all the preferred buyers that scalp them? oh well i guess i will have to do without. i guess regular ppl are not allowed to enjoy the pleasure of buying tickets without a hassle.

I was wondering the same thing. I know they have tickets set aside for radio and concert promotion people. I'm still in shock that they sold out in seconds. This sucks, I guess I will have to wait for the shitty outdoor amplitheatre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soleil Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I hate Coldplay/Tickemaster/Metro. :( Don't worry, we'll just have to wait until they come to United Center and we'll pay 50 for tickets and sit all the way in the back row. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiceroAnon Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 So, 21 people got tickets at the box office, 0 got them from ticketmaster and 1100 went on sale, 99.9% of people trying to get tickets didn't get them. Something is wrong with the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soleil Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I don't reaally hate them, but I'm really dissapointed in Metro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvargas Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 So, I haven't come on until now cause I was a bit dissapointed, but I know it was meant to be. Too many people were trying to get tickets. The annoying part was waiting at Metro, because radio stations and the colplay site said that you could get tickets at the venue. I thought that it was going to more odds going there and getting them because I thought that they would have a block of tickets already. We got mixed messages and so many people were waiting there in line. We waited for 4 hours, but there were people who waited for so much longer. Metro ended up getting very little tickets. Anyways, we all are thinking why were we even there? I don't get why all the tickets had to be sold on ticketmaster anyways? Not too many fans got tickets...but that seems to be the pattern...

This seems to be the pattern for all the buzz gigs so far, they aren't for the fans, they are for the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiceroAnon Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I was told that the Metro had no control over this; they were lucky that they had 21 tickets for an instant sellout. They had the same system of getting tickets as Ticketmaster, so blame Ticketmaster. People suposidly had the same chance of getting tickets at the box office, online, or over the phone, or at a Ticketmaster outlet which seem to give a better chance for the latter.
