awwww I want to go! :embarassed:

Coldplay return to the M.E.N Arena on Thu 11 & Fri 12 December 2008 with their brand new 'Viva La Vida' Tour. Tickets, priced £38.50 & £42.50, go on sale this Friday at 9.30am.

£42.50 for floor and lower tier and £38.50 for crappy upper tier seats then?

I've love to know why the MEN gig is miles cheaper than the Odyssey gig :P .. rising fuel charges to power the plane over to Belfast perhaps? Should I blame Gordon... :inquisitive:

They can shove their over priced tickets where the sun don't shine.

 

£42.50 is a fucking joke.

 

And not a very amusing one.

It's verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry overpriced.

But it'll be £46.50 in Belfast :angry:

£42.50 for a soddin ticket? Now thats a giant pisstake

2 tickets booked block 104, shame about no standing :/ ahh well

im fucked off, its seated in manchester and sheffield, what the hell is the point in going to a seated only gig

oh and ticketbastard suck ass

hmmm

 

I've got tickets from seetickets, but they don't say where I'm sat?

I don't want to wait until the tickets arrive to find out I'm in some crappy corner of the arena or something. For that price, they better be good.

I'd phone them in a few hours when things have calmed down to see if they can tell you, or ask when they're allocating. Posted on another thread, a landline number for them is 01159129000

Did you find where your seats are?

You can log into the tracker with your email address (despite what the form, says, NOT your postcode...) and order number and it tells you your allocation.
