KissesBirds Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm going to this one! I want front row! I thinking of going it alone (buying 1 ticket) to increase my chances of getting front row. It would be great if it was general admission. But there is no info yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn Marie Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well, perhaps we can meet up, love. I'm so excited for this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble87 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I REALLLLY want to go to this show and am going to try my best to get some tickets... the only thing that worries me is that when I tried to get tickets for the Chicago show during the Twisted Logic tour they were sold out in minutes!! If I don't get tickets I don't know what I'll do.... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakfast_of_CHAMPION Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 when do tickets go on sale for this show, and will there be a presale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebs757 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hey im going for this show too! 3 tickets for me and im going to get the best I can. Im all for planing something are the tickets going to be "best available" or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvargas Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 It's United Center again, right? They should play a smaller venue... Yah, our tickets were alright last time, but they could've been closer. We got pretty good seats to the Alpine Valley show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble87 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yeah it's at the United Center, during the XY tour when they came to Chicago I was up in the high seats (upper deck or whatever), although they were way up there they still weren't that bad... I would love to have floor seats or lower deck seats this time around but if I can't I would be happy to just be there even if they turn out to be nose bleed seats...

Carolyn Marie Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I, for one, am not thrilled about the show being at the United Center. The acoustics are God-awful terrible and the location is not my favorite. I would have preferred another show at Alpine Valley , but...at least we get a show!

Ebs757 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 why are the acoustics bad at the UC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawniD11 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I am hoping to get decent tickets to this - I was on the floor at Quicken (Cleveland) for the X&Y tour and went to the Indy show...this Chitown show appears to be the only one fairly close to Indy...

Trouble87 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I don't think the acoustics are that bad, I was at their show during the XY tour and it was pretty damned cool, it's just that when you think of Coldplay you think of a small, more intimate setting with maybe 4000 people, not in a huge stadium playing in front of 40,000+ people.

Carolyn Marie Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 why are the acoustics bad at the UC? I say that the acoustics at the United Center are bad because unless you are on the floor there is a lot of feedback thrown around. If you are in the first balcony facing the left side of the stage, at about the halfway point of the venue, it's like you hear everything twice. Ugh. I just hate it there.

You mean, like, at Alpine Valley where they kicked ass in 2005? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvargas Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 For the Alpine Valley show...the sounds wasn't that great. But....that was because we were able to get pit tickets. So, I traded the sound for finally being able to be up close. I am sure the people behind us, got to hear them really well. In the pit, I think the speakers were actually kind of behind us. But, it was so exciting to be that close. For the United Center concert last year, we didn't have really close tickets. But, I thought the sound was better, since the speakers were this time in front of us. But, my sister did complain about the sound, saying it was hard to hear them clearly. Both experiences were good for different reasons. I got to see the stage as a whole and all the effects for the United Center one since we were on the side. Here are my pics from that show: We were kind of off to the side...so we didn't get a great view of them. Pics aren't that great. But, it was fun anyways.

So what is everyone strategy this time around? Click on ticket master right at 10 or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan3eb Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The tickets on stubhub are going for like $500?!?! Is it even possible to find a place to get floor tickets for $100; ticketmaster isn't even listing the chicago date also, how do you know if your section is good or not? Do they do seating around the entire floor or just one half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan3eb Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 could someone please help me out with the earlier questions...? Are the stubhub tickets the only ones available? When will we be able to get them from livenation or ticketmaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starbright31 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Have there been any Ticketmaster sales for this show yet? I don't see the show listed at Ticketmaster, only at LiveNation- and their ticket info is TBA. (Oops, I just realized someone asked the same question before my post, sorry!)

(Oops, I just realized someone asked the same question before my post, sorry!) well at least we know we are together in our confusion. I was worried that everyone was just leaving me in the dark so they could get the good tickets ;) I have been checking this thread like hourly hoping that the stubhub prices are misleading and that I can still get floor seats for $100/piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
