Got tickets! seated right at the back though :(

I got floor seated block J (Row Q)4 tickets at £198 from ticketbastard...

 

Right at the back i was logged in 09.15 as i have an account with these twats and i had to wait 5 mins before submitting my ticket details.

 

All the other blocks must of gone really fast!!!!

 

Ive been to see Coldplay at the M.E.N the past 3 times and had a great time so im glad to be going again..

 

 

Just waiting to see what these magic balls are

  • Author

looking forward to that bit, every time we saw Coldplay during Twisted Logic tour we were in the stands away from the balloons

2 tickets... Block 101 which is virtually on the stage.

 

I agree with Bucko, even if you have an account why does it take so long with TM

I'm right at the back in block H,how i wish i was standing but never mind I'm sure the show will be brilliant.

how do you know what block you are in guys? ive ordered my tickets from gigsandtours but it doesnt say what block :\

i ordered one set of my tickets through gigs and tours and it never said where i was sat at first , but now it does so i'd say just keep checking back

WOOT got the bloody seats thru but does anyone know the seating plans? there is a few on the site and i am just trying to find the correct one or has anyone got a diagram?

Hi everyone.

 

I have 4 tickets seated next to each other for the Thursday show, and am looking to swap them for 4 tickets for the Friday show.

 

The tickets are in Block 214, Row Q.

 

If anyone can help, let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave.

the pictures I've seen posted around and about seem to be the same layout as the Take That option

Im in "section BL 109, row K", so thats right at the back!

Aye, you know where I was for Twisted Logic? Block 211 Row M. Think yourselves lucky!

 

I got Block 118 for Sheffield this time, which I'm flipping thrilled about, but that's neither here nor there I guess, aka. wrong thread, but the Sheffield thread is dead so I'm starting to wish I'd booked for MEN now :(

I have just checked the ticketmaster ticket checker thingy and it says my order is being prepared for dispatch,so maybe we will get our tickets quite quickly!

there decent seats , i was there for keane :P great view!

 

Really? YAAAAAAAAY :D

Really? YAAAAAAAAY :D

 

yep :D there good because your directly opposite the stage so you wont miss a thing and you get to see the full stage show (lighting , screens etc)

If your ticketmaster ticket checker thingy says that you'll receive your tickets within the next few days. :)

Did you enjoy Keane? I saw them at Wembley Arena, they are a very good live band. :cool: Probably my all time fave group.

I saw Keane at the Manchester Apollo and at the m.e.n arena and both gigs where brilliant,the atmosphere at both shows was up there with any gig I've seen.
