November 15, 200520 yr To me this is bullshit, serious bullshit. I cant believe that us real fans who alot of us have been here since the beginning are being treated this way. This presale crap is way out of control, to the point that us fans cant get tickets unless we go begging for them on ebay to assholes that arent even fans. We have to pay outrageous prices when we should have been offered the tickets in the first place. I am so mad about this I could scream. I have spent thousands of dollars traveling to gigs in other states, tickets, hotels, air/bus fare and for what I have paid to see all the shows I have been to in the past I can buy 1 pair of 7th row seats from some jerkoff who was able to get them because he has a certain credit card. If that says anything about the way this is headed I highly doubt I will be going to very many Coldplay shows in the future. I cant afford $500 for concert tickets. Half us of probably wont even get the chance to buy presale tickets because nobheads and brokers have invaded the talk the tour website. I wanna go back to the day when I could get a ticket for $20 see them in an small club with true fans who waited all day in line to see them. That will never happen again, I know, but never in my wildest dreams did I think that it would be this frustrating just to get tickets to my favorite band's gig. UGH! http://tickets.search.ebay.com/coldplay_Tickets_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfmcZ1QQfromZR8QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ1305
November 15, 200520 yr amen sista! i don't like looking at ebay because if i stumble upon concert tickets i just get really mad. but since u provided the link.. im just staring at them with my jaw dropped because some of these are actually great seats.. :(
November 15, 200520 yr you have every right to angry! I wish there was some way to screw them over they way they screw over the fans. BOOOOOO to scalpers! :angry:
November 15, 200520 yr whoever thought of the amex presale should get their balls cut off. :angry: :lol:
November 15, 200520 yr I know how you feel Mary. 102$ a ticket. to stand behind tall drunk people on a lawn. :angry:
November 15, 200520 yr this is screwed up....damn i dont wanna pay twice as much like i did last time:(
November 15, 200520 yr ^yup. very unfair! good thing those scalpers were caught! has anyone read the news at coldplay. com...very exciting! :wink3:
November 16, 200520 yr I fucking hate people. Seriously. Really, you guys have no idea how much money scalpers have taken from me this year. It's completely unfair. I'm very upset with the way this is being handled so far. I'm seriouse, if I don't get a fucking link tomorrow in my email I'm going to question going. This is bullshit. Fucking. Bullshit. And I'll get nosebleeds. I know it. If I do, sorry, I'll wait for the DVD. Honestly. And if I see ANY fucking floor seats on ebay or on ticketsnow.com or any other scalper site I'm going to personally complain to I don't know... Someone important. *has lots of pent up anger* If I get extra tickets to Coldplay (if I get ANY at all) I'm selling them face value. That's it. Buy it now face value on ebay.com. I can't see how anyone can sleep at night ripping people off like that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Right I feel better now! :) :rolleyes:
November 16, 200520 yr Really, you guys have no idea how much money scalpers have taken from me this year. It's completely unfair. How is that unfair? If you don't like it.. then how about you stop buying from them? If there's no demand for scalpers, there won't be any scalpers.
November 16, 200520 yr Because if I didn't buy from scalpers I'd never get a chance to see these people I care about. It's not my fault that they get the tickets before me. And therefore, it is unfair. I guess maybe I should thank them. Thank you scalpers. I like paying 500 dollars for the seats you stole from me.
November 16, 200520 yr whoever thought of the amex presale should get their balls cut off. :angry: yeah, i want to know who is behind this idea because they didn't do this on the first leg of the tour. is it true that anyone who signed up on 'talk the tour' has a chance at presale?
November 16, 200520 yr :angry: I feel the need to rant again... I HATE stuff like this...and its sooo lame that ppl w/ American Express cards get the first chance to buy tickets...its soooooooo out of order! The order should be: Coldplay.com presale,...then everything else. It's the true fans (who dont have AE cards) that end up suffering in the end. Im glad the scalpers got caught though...maybe thatll open up more seats. By the way...anyone know if CP.com tix are reserved before any sale goes on...or do they just give out whatever seats the AE presale left over?
November 16, 200520 yr Author I think that maybe the seats are picked out for the cp.com presale but with this new amex bullshit who knows. I am still angry about this, but what can I do. I am so glad that the scalpers were busted, hopefully with the tickets freed up that will leave more seats for us fans.
November 16, 200520 yr Thanks for the info... stupid EBAY...ahhhh :( there will always be people who will make a hobby out of looking for ways to ruin it for others who really care about concerts and stuff.
