I'm going!!!!! i didn't win tickets but my friend did! Can't actually wait! too excited to type anymore

Hello you good people, decided to give up my lurking, and break my coldplaying forum virginity.

 

Anyway,

 

With regards to the Brixton tickets, my mate applied for some for me as well as myself, but hes on holiday.

 

Basically you CAN change the names on the tickets because I have already got my tickets which my friend passed on to me to put my name on them, BUT what this stops is touting outside the venue on the night because you need photo i.d which matches whats it says on your ticket.

 

Just thought id let you know.

 

so its kinda bad news on the ebay front :(

I'm up late but I didn't get anything just so you know. Blargh.

 

It really is heartbreaking to see just really greedy people selling off their tickets and knowing those people who get them won't get in. What a shame.

 

They should give tickets to us guys next time! But yeah, now I have to wait a loooong time to see them. Until next year... :(

That's shit... I think we should keep a watch for all the eBay scalpers to report them, 'cuz it's really unfair that people have to pay their way in.

As far as I know it's illegal to sell these tickets on ebay so I'm reporting all those I see.

£100 for a ticket

 

!!

Thehitcher, can you tell me what your ticket number is? i was allocated 99 and 100.

 

maybe we can work out how many people will be going?

I won tickets too

 

Hello all,

 

I got my email this afternoon and have ordered them through ticketmaster (to the other person on here who won, have you received the actual ticket email yet? I haven't and I'm a bit nervous...)

 

I however, will definitely be going! I got tickets to the Steve Lamacq gig at the forum a few years ago and it was the first time I ever saw them live. It was amazing and although I've been to several larger gigs since (Earls Court, Crystal Palace, Glastonbury) that smaller venue was the best.

 

And the bonus is, it is only next Monday! I still can't wait.

The fact you only got the email this afternoon does this suggest that they are doing it in phases?

 

Or do you think the emails went out all in one go?

where abouts on the ticket does it say the number, there are many numbers.

 

I am in the stalls but its all allocated seating isnt it, i would of thought they would have some standing, everyone will stand anyway.

i've only joined this forum today, but i seriously don't think we ought to be undertaking any kind of transactions with regards to tickets on these threads.

 

Besides, most people will have someone to take with them. If my friend pulled out then i would ask another 5 or so Coldplay fans friends of mine before i offered the ticket on here for nothing. Don't assume that those of us on here will suddenly offer our tickets for £100. Of the few i've been exchanging dialogue with today are really not that narrow minded.

Yes I have received them 5 minutes after the confirmation email from ticketmaster

I'm leaving this thread now, cause' I can't stand the immense jealousy I'm feeling.... hahaha. No offence to you winners......

 

boo hoo

 

The only consolation I have is that Radiohead is in 2 weeks.... :juggle:

yes, i recieved it 5min after too. maybe you should phone them.

 

thehitcher the main ticket number is located on the right hand side and they'll be in a running order.

 

I assumed it was all standing. I don't think anyone will be seated do you?

The fact you only got the email this afternoon does this suggest that they are doing it in phases?

My email was sent today at 12.27

There is only one positive that I can take from this and that is the fact the show is live on the radio.

 

Although saying that, I'll have to record it as I have now accepted two tickets to go and watch some Twenty20 cricket at Lords after missing out on Brixton.

where abouts on the ticket does it say the number, there are many numbers.

 

I am in the stalls but its all allocated seating isnt it, i would of thought they would have some standing, everyone will stand anyway.

 

Every gig I've been to at Brixton (many) has always been standing only in the stalls. There are seats upstairs but not downstairs for concerts.

im GA8 53 & GA8 54.

 

But on the website it said something about blocks and seats which i assume is what the seat 54 block 8 row g or something like that, thats what i could make of it anyway.

 

are you stalls yeah?

 

I wont get there until 7.30 i shouldnt think im working on monday, il go straight after work. and if it is seated then got no problems there. They are on at 8.30 arent they

!!

same here but the mighty boosh for example or jimmy carr, they play at brixton and they blatently aren't going to have people standing

Last Time: £100 for a ticket

 

!!

People offering silly money on here for tickets is just a further slap in the face who haven't won, but who would have given their spare ticke to another fan for what it cost (i.e. NOTHING!)

 

I understand that people will go to any lengths to get tickets but I wish this wasn't the place for it.

The email was sent at 01.27 pm (of today, 10 June))

and it says:

i'm on the phone to ticketmaster. waiting to find out about the seating arrangementS. I'd prefer standing anywhere, which is the norm for the more intimate gigs. btw mine says GA2 99 and GA2 100.
