Martin04 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Does anyone have specific details on where/ when to purchase tickets to the show at the Metro? I know they go on sale the 30th, but does anyone know what time and on what website I should go to have the best shot at getting tickets?? I desperately need to attend this show! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acousjim Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Tickets go on sale at noon on saturday. You can get them at the Metro box office, or by ticketmaster. The Metro is tiny and only fits 1100 people.They are adverstising the show on the radio stations. I personally think they could get 1100 people without letting the whole city of Chicago know about it. Luckily there is a 2 ticket limit, so that might help a bit. Good luck.

mdmt619 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 how early should i show up at the metro box office if i want to get tickets and they go on sale at noon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmt619 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 if it helps- wilco is in town that same night- so i think that might cut down on the popularity a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin04 Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I've checked out Ticketmaster a few times and have found no mention of Coldplay's show... but what is of more concern is that they say the Crystal Method is playing at the Metro on the 6th??? Anyone know why this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoman86 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Could it be that you have to go to the box office to get tickets? I don't see the show on ticketmaster at all. I just hope to get tickets! I assume it is general admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why this is? I think that because Coldplay is playing at 6 or atleast the doors open then, there will be time for them to have a show after them at 8 pm or 10 pm, but then that means that Coldplay won't be playing as long as i want. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin04 Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well it said before that you didnt have to go to the box office to see the show... but I dunno... maybe because it was announced late ticketmaster hasnt gotten around to posting anything yet... but if anyone does find something about it on ticketmaster post it on this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoman86 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 It's up on Ticketmaster now. Do you think there is any advantage of going to the box office, or will there be the same amount of seats available on both. They will probably sell out in the first couple minutes.

Martin04 Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Man, I am so glad its up.... I was getting worried... I was wondering the same thing about whether or not its easier to get tickets at the box office. All i know is that I was watching the cubs game yesterday and they played 'Speed of Sound' as they were doing the FanCam then mentioned the gig at the Metro. So, unfortunately, this is by no means a secret gig and pretty much everybody knows about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianoman86 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Fuck!!!! Didn't get tickets and i did it so fast!!! within the first 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam20 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Fuck! Same here! I had two phone and the interent going trying to get tickets, I talked to someone at two minutes after noon and they were sold out! DAMN IT!! This friggy sucks! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricktwista360 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 same here, but there were already 46+ auctions on ebay before the tickets even went on sale, I have a feeling there were very few even available at all. I haven't heard anyone who got them off of ticketmaster yet...even the Toronto show had some success stories by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 didnt get any :cry: phone and internet, just isnt enough, i should have driven there and stood in line allnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoman86 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 How are you suppose to get tickets anyway, any one know, for future reference. Is the best way to wait at the box office? Now there is a lot Coldplay tickets for .01 $ on ebay, but you have to be preapproved and they are probably faking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acousjim Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Fuck! Same here! I had two phone and the interent going trying to get tickets, I talked to someone at two minutes after noon and they were sold out! DAMN IT!! This friggy sucks! :angry: I feel your pain. I had 3 computers and 2 phones and got nothing. That has to be the fastest tickets have ever sold out. I was thinking it was going to sell out in a minute, not 10 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoman86 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 were you all in the more info section refreshing or were you refreshing on the whole Search Coldplay tickets sections in Ticketmaster. I thought if i refreshed in the more info section it wouldn't work, so i just refreshed on the search section. I think that was my problem, because then it didn't go to the find tickets display until a couple seconds later, so that delayed me like 8 seconds. Did anyone click the find tickets at exactly 12:00:01 and not get it? How did you all refresh? on the more info page? just want to know for reference.

Marisa Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I was on Ticketmaster, I had my clock so I could see the SECONDS ticking and as it hit 59 seconds I clicked look for tickets and it showed the section where you can choose the quantity of tickets and i just clicked again, then it went to the verify you are not robot page, where i had type in some word and then it was looking up tickets with a nice status bar, then it comes back no tickets were available. so i dunno what happened, i mean it all took less than 7 seconds. and all this while i had my roommate on the phone with ticketmaster and she called 7 minutes ahead in case she was on hold, she finally got through at like 3 after but the operator told her it was soldout. i mean that is insane. my mind just can't even handle it.

pianoman86 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 That sucks :angry: I think Coldplay should sell those tickets for atleast 50 dollars a piece Ticketmaster so maybe not everyone would buy it so soon and we wouldn't have to go through all this shit. Cheap list prices for tickets aren't always good :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
