that's alright then :D didn't think to check for that :laugh3:

Damn, it's my birthday and they are playing at the other end of the country :(

birthday pressie? if you book train tickets now shouldn't cost you more than £10-20return :D

But it would be no fun going on my own.

 

And come December I have no idea if I will still be working for the company I am working for at the moment as the senior managers are all changing around.

yuck :\ thats no fun at all

Changing stuff just for the hell of changing stuff, to try and stamp their name over everything, and that is just the site managers.

 

People are getting worried at what the new GSM (main boss in this area) will be like

Just got this number from a person who works for EMI there are

doing a limited pre-sale of tickets for the gigs.

I didn't believe it at first, just got myself 2 tickets for glasgow!!!

I am (as we say) PURE RAGING that it's seats only :laugh3: I eventually managed to get 2 tickets thanks to my lovely friend phoning the SECC. I was logged on to ticketmaster well before 9.30 ready to go and couldnt get 2 bloody seats together! There's something wrong there. Ticketmaster always fuck up with coldplay tickets!

it must have. I was trying it for work so I needed to be careful no one saw me but pretty much straight away, first time it searched it said it couldn't find the tickets I'd requested when I put in 2 tickets and best available! Wasn't a happy bunny. Where abouts are your seats?

If you have received an email from Ticketmaster regarding a ticket recall for the Coldplay events at the SECC on 5th and 6th December 2008, we can confirm that this email is legitimate and would ask you to follow the instructions contained therein. Only those customers affected by this issue have been contacted.

Chaos for Coldplay fans as ticket blunder threatens to leave hundreds locked out of Scots gig

 

HUNDREDS of Coldplay fans will be locked out of their Scottish concerts after a massive ticket mix-up.

 

Ticketmaster have recalled a batch of 3200 briefs after they were printed on the wrong paper. The gaffe means anyone who bought the tickets from secondary sources, such as eBay, will be denied entry to the concert.

 

It is estimated that tickets originating from touts and fans who decided to sell them could number more than 800 for the two gigs on December 5 and 6.

 

Last night, Ticketmaster admitted only fans whose email addresses were registered at the time of sale would be issued with new tickets.

 

A spokesman said: "It is true that we have announced a recall of tickets, which should be no problem for most fans as there is a long time to go before the concert.

 

"If people decide to buy tickets from sources such as eBay, it is their own business, but it is something we do not recommend.

 

"People who buy from other sources lose the rights that other fans are covered by, given that their emails are not registered with us.

 

"They will therefore not be able to get the replacement tickets sent to them unless they contact the original purchaser and replace the tickets through them."

 

Despite the chaos, scores of tickets to the gig were selling on eBay yesterday, with some fetching £150 for tickets whose face value is £60.

 

Buyers had no way of knowing if the tickets will be void by the time of the concert. One disgruntled fan who emailed the Razz said: "Ticketmaster told me the gig will be empty, as most the tickets are bought from auction sites.

 

"Hundreds will be turned away. This is the biggest gig in Scotland, but only people with registered email addresses will know they have faulty tickets.

 

"Coldplay will be going nuts when they see the venue empty, as they will not allow anyone in with the tickets they botched up. This is a disgrace by Ticketmaster."

 

On the Ticketmaster website, a notice advises: "If you have received an email from Ticket master regarding a ticket recall for the Coldplay events at the SECC in Glasgow on December 5 and 6, we can confirm this email is legitimate and would ask you to follow instructions.

 

"Only customers affected by this issue have been contacted."

 

The news comes after it emerged that Ticketmaster also had £90,000 worth of tickets and passes for Live at: Loch Lomond and DT Tiesto's Manchester set go missing.

What's more surprising is that Ticketmaster are sending out tickets for big concerts in July when the concerts ain't until December.

 

Talk about playing into the hands of the dirty touts (however if rumours are to be believed, a limited number of standing tickets will be released soon for some shows quietly)

anyone had their tickets sent back yet(well,the re-prints)?

 

ticketmaster definately got the ones we sent back...made sure of it! :D

The date of this gig has now moved to 9th December. See the Uk tour changes thread at the top of the Coldplay Live section

Hi,I need your help.I'm looking for 2 tickets for Coldplay in Glasgow on December...It's My Boyfriend's birthday,and I'd like to give him this trip.
