May 30, 200818 yr anyone know what this means? Allocated : 414,Q,787 it's come up on my order confirmation... i'm guessing it's something to do with seat numbers, rows and blocks...but which is which!? :S
May 30, 200818 yr Author I'm guessing block 414, row q, seat 787 if its the same format as the MEN use
May 30, 200818 yr I'm 111,V,357 which is lvel 1 or am I mistaken ? That's absolutely not what I asked for but well... I guess I should be happy to have a ticket :)
May 30, 200818 yr If anyone is interested in a seat for this date, please let me know. I'm likely to have at least one spare. I'll want only to recoup what I paid in each case.;) Touts need not apply.
May 30, 200818 yr theres no standing tickets? r u allowed to stand up during the concert? if not how can u see a Coldplay concert sat in a chair like if u were in opera? pretty weird.

Unfortunately i know this is at the back of the arena.
May 30, 200818 yr Sorry i know i put this in another thread but just incase i thought i would put it again Ok i think i can clear this one up: I live in Greenwich and i decided to go down to the O2 Arena itself to get tickets. Previously my girlfriend was told they would go onsale at 9, i thought wow half an hour before the net but suspicious. We got there at 8:30 and there were a few people there. The security guy said he was told 12pm for sale which really confused me. Both were wrong. There was a cluster of people and O2 did really badly on this part. There were about 9 booths and nobody had a clue which ones would open. They should've put up a sign saying Coldplay tickets 9:30am Booths 7,8,9 etc. 9:30 hits and it's a complete free-for-all. One opened and everyone crammed in then a second and i saw one window flicker went i rushed but didn't open so to the back i went. We were told it was a maximum of 4 tickets, then that we needed photo ID. The communication was really bad. After that we were told no ID for 1-3 tickets then ID for 4 or more. I am not being classist here, but the wait was horrible. It was basically all chav's. What really wasn't nice was when we were in the bundle and a lot of them started smoking. As a non-smoker it was horrid. Anyway! Most of them were touts, you could tell. My main point is, what happened i feel is that O2 allocated the less desirable seats to the agencies keeping all the best seats for it's own box office. I got 4 tickets at 10:50. I got Block A1 Row H which is the block right infront of the stage, eight rows back. I realise i am extremely lucky. I don't know what the situation is now but the best tickets were actually available from the O2 in-person box-office. Not over the phone becuase the O2 phone line is ticketmaster. I feel geniunely sorry for those who got worse tickets or those buying off these idiots. You could tell they were angry when the news about photo ID happened. Also when i finally got mine an hour and a half later the ticket lady commented i was the first 'real fan' she'd served saying she could tell they were all touts. If this confirms anything it's in future if you can make your way to the actual box office of the 02. Coldplayed Block A1

May 30, 200818 yr Have you tried Nottingham city centre??:P haha i live in a town, just outside nottingham, ridden with chavvy vermin!
May 30, 200818 yr That's really interesting Coldplayed, thanks, now I know why I paid my ticket 42£ and I'm almost at the top of the level 1 seats whereas I wanted a floor seat :( Do you guys know if we are allowed to go down the stairs of our block (I saw people doing that in France for one gig in Bercy) or must we stay right on our place during the whole concert ?

I'm predicting it'll be the same at the O2, but it's worth a shot...you might not get moved! :)
