mandymcnabb Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 MARISA IS THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN EVER. SERIOUSLY. I've never seen Coldplay up close so she gave the section A row 20 to me.:'( I'm so happy. I WISH TICKETMASTER WASN'T SO SHIT SO WE COULD SIT TOGETHER. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 :cool: I've seen them up close before and you haven't so it's time to share the love! Oh and I think you are going to be right at the end of those walkway things. Guy Berryman shaking his big bass in your FACE!!!!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 THIRTEEN NINTEY FIVE $13.95. FOR A conveniences FEE? Oh my god. Someone please tell me what that exactly is. I do not understand the economics of it. Anyways.......... JULY 5th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwalker23 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I was on ready to buy at 10:00 am and only got section D tickets I figured i would get at least the first three sections. Was i just not fast enough of is something else going on. Last tour I was in row 12 and bought them at least two hours after the sale went up.

Marisa Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 It has to be a conspiracy. I dont know how 300+ seats sell out before 10:01 am. I kept getting shitty seats too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Oh right.... the conspiracy is that stupid Auction that is now part of the ticket sales. Premium seat auction. Absolute horse shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwalker23 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Its very annoying that some of the people who are huge fans have to get together a lot of people and then overpay for the tickets. I feel kinda taken advantage of as a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWOtorontoboy Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I think Live Nation is the problem. They're money hungry bastards. The same thing happened with Madonna's Boston and Chicago shows that went on sale this morning. It seems like only back sections went on sale to the general public...whereas all the front sections will be auctioned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Listen2Coldplay Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 THIRTEEN NINTEY FIVE $13.95. FOR A conveniences FEE? Oh my god. Someone please tell me what that exactly is. I do not understand the economics of it. Anyways.......... JULY 5th! Well, it's called an oligopoly, unless I am mistaken as far as the dynamics are concerned of TM and its competitors. Very few ticket outlets. The other feature is that TM has many exclusive contracts with the major venues throughout the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticketmaster You have to love Pearl Jam. They at least practice what they sing about. However, I've never been a real big fan of their music overall, although I do like some of their songs. I may have to give them a try. Also, I paid $110 per ticket through the TM auction they had for the Palace show in '06, like the one now and they were pretty solid seats, Section A, Row 10, Seats 1 and 2 (here's a short video ) I don't have a job right now so I think I may have to count myself out unless I find one fairly soon. This is just a bit too much money to be borrowing from a parent or someone else and the tickets are rather expensive, regardless, so I won't be upset if I don't see them. Maybe it will send a message if they make less money this time around on this tour. Even the seats in level 200 are expensive at $77. Also, ticket venues hold onto seats. Keep trying, even up to a week and the day of the show. It's most likely not a conspiracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladybugdd77 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Crappy seats in Detroit still on ticketmaster. :cry: I couldn't believe the selection! And, I tried to do the auction thing but it won't let me choose my country (Canada). Give me a break! I live right across the border! Looking for 2 good tickets if anyone can help! PM me if you have anything you're willing to part with. Last time I sat way in the back and I don't want to do that again!

halfdozenboyz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I agree.. Oh right.... the conspiracy is that stupid Auction that is now part of the ticket sales. Premium seat auction. Absolute horse shit. How do those people that auction the tickets get them early? I almost did a "buy it now" auction on ebay for a code, but this was Fri and I was worried I wouldn't get the code in time and it would be a wasted $40. I've been to alot of concerts but never really cared about being close until this one. Most of the ones I've been to were small venues, gen admission or lawn, and that's where the fun is!! I was waiting at 10am, but with my slow internet I missed out on some good seats)none in the front three sections. My seats F row 12. Just for the heck of I kept checking for seats and ~ 11 am all the floor seats were sold out. Has anyone been to the palace? I saw Paul McCartney from the nosebleed section. Worth every penny because it was a dream come true, but very crowded in those damn seats! Hoping I'm sitting by some wild fans, cause I'm taking my husband who isn't too hip on going.

Definitely keep checking Ticketmaster everyday, especially as the date of the concert nears. They will release more seats....and some of the best ones at that. I've seen it happen time and time again. In fact, that's what my best friend and I will be waiting for...as we didn't bother to buy the garbage that was offered this morning lol:lol: They're for sure holding back sections....the only blocks of tickets that kept coming up were in 115, 114, 126, 115, and floor sections D, E, and F. That's messed up. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll find something!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwalker23 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I wouldnt count on it a lot of the best tickets are either on the ticketmaster auction, i also saw some on stubhub and ebay so I wouldnt take the chance that the best tickets are still being sold by ticketmaster it looks like they've already been sold.

UWOtorontoboy Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Trust me....I've been to over 100 concerts....they ALWAYS hold back tickets. It's just a matter of checking Ticketmaster persistantly, because they randomly release these seats...sometimes weeks or days before the show, or even on the day of. Yes, Ticketmaster is auctioning off tickets....but not entire sections. There's still hope =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3wb0rn Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I just went with basic balcony seats. I'm still new to concerts and can't be bothered with much else, I'm just there to watch the band. Insanely pumped though, finally getting to see them! I think it'll be a great show, and I hope all of you get your tickets you desire. :D The Palace isn't a bad place all around, I saw Paul McCartney there around three years ago and I enjoyed it. I'm sure these guys will blow my mind. I'm expecting tears down my face from it. :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteBug Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I got seats thanks to this forum. I talked about it elsewhere so I won't bore everyone here, but I am very excited! I fly in to see my parents on July 2nd... and now have tix to the July 5th show! I also want to see them in L.A., but they haven't announced that date.

Bought a 6th row seat a day before the Cleveland date and 3rd row a few weeks before Detroit. But it's usually only single seats. Which I'm entirely fine with. The secret is out.

mandymcnabb Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Oh yeaaaa, Marisa, I was thinking, if you wanted and if time allowed you could come to Port Huron for the day and we could do the beach stuff and hang out, then go to the show, because it should be nice out in July!!!!! It could be a funnnnnnn day.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
