Chicago Show

[CiceroAnon]

I was on Ticketmaster' date=' 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.[/quote']

 

I did exactly the same thing, but for some reason the tickets were not available until 12:01 according to my computer clock, but anyways I got all excited about nothing. This was a lose lose situation all the way around. I feel bad for people who waited at the Metro for many hours in the cold and rain, and still came up empty handed, at least I was in the comfort of my own home.

well i had heard rumors that the coldplay show at the metro was already sold out before they went on sale to the public.But as a fan of coldplay i didnt believe it and tried anyways and i was online at 5 mins til 12pm,i refreshed the page until they were on sale,put 2 tickets,typed the secret word and right away it said their were no tickets available. im sure you all noticed all the auctions for the show on ebay before they were even in sale to the public,so that was kinda odd.anyway i just got the new rolling stone in the mail and theres a very interesting article that is related to all of our dilemas.it states the tactics that brokers and scalpers use to get their tickets,you should all read it.apparently brokers and scalpers have this software that allows them to override ticketmasters security and buy hot tickets not only in advance but in bulk,like hundreds of tickets at a time.So thats why at 12pm the show was sold out already the greedy brokers and scalpers got them all now thier on ebay for $400-$500 a pair,but no worries.I read that coldplay is just doing a few intimate club dates to mostly play thier new album and select few oldies,and they'll be back for a 40 city ampitheatre tour in the states,and you know they'll come back to chicago,so im gonna wait..

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.

 

What do you mean by faking?
