busybeeburns Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Coldplay to put on a festive cracker at the Odyssey Grammy-award winning rock stars Coldplay are to return to the Odyssey Arena this winter for a Christmas show, the Belfast Telegraph can reveal today. The world's biggest band, led by Chris Martin will bring the Viva La Vida tour to Belfast on Thursday, December 18 — their only Irish date this year. Coldplay last performed at the Odyssey Arena in December 2005, in the same month Oasis also played the venue. The show was considered one of the highlights of the year for Northern Ireland concert-goers who were lucky enough to get their hands on the precious tickets. Since their formation in 1997 the British four-piece, who describe their music as soft rock, have sold over 20m albums and notched up a string of hit singles including Yellow, In My Place, Speed of Sound, Fix You and the Grammy Award-winning Clocks.

Sun is shining Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Anyone know how many people the Odyssey Arena can take? I will be doing an exam when they release the tickets. Basically! Will the tickets sell out quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
::Hayley:: Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hey new people! Great to see ya :D http://www.odysseyarena.com/coldplay.html If you check out this site, you should be able to get the info you need.... Ticket price: To be confirmed! But you could phone Odyssey Box Office on 028 9073 9074 or call Ticketmaster's 24-hr credit card hotline on 0870 243 4455. NB Phone bookings subject to service charge. (http://www.odysseyarena.com) The 2005 gig sold out, but not quickly...I don't think so anyway! Best to get in there as soon as you can though. So people are you gonna go for sitting or standing? i'm gonna chance standing... even though I will need to purchase stilts... but I'd rather be close to front than sitting miles away...! Venue holds up to 10,000... if my sources are right! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
