Section 101 is pretty darn good. Its closer to the stage than 106. I'd take those.

 

Here's a link to the seating chart:

Yeah I was definitely checking that out while shopping around. I wasn't just going on proximity to the stage because some views might be better even though they don't appear as close on the seating chart. For example, I bought Broadway tickets to a play onetime which were on the front row of the mezzanine. When we got to our seats we realized a rail blocked half our view when we sat down which was a total bummer. That's why I was gonna see what people who have been here have thought before I went ahead and handed over my paycheck to the scalpers!

i actually got my tickets based on the acoustic set, im in sec 103 on the end. row r. they played the acoustic set right above 103 last time, if they switch that part, im gonna be pissed.

seating chart?

 

I was looking online for tickets, and I am getting conflicting reports on the venue mapping. Some websites have the following seating chart for the concert:

(click on seating chart link on right side of page)

 

while others have this seating chart:

(click on 'click to see venue map' in upper right corner of site)

 

Numerous sites are displaying each seating chart. Does anyone know which one is correct as this would have a big impact on what tickets to get.

It is def without a doubt the first set up you see with the end stage. Even the catwalks are accurate!

does anyone have any tickets to sell? I'm going to be down visiting family at the end of October (for my birthday on the 30th).. and must see the boys!!! i'm excited... since they never come this far east in Canada...

thanks!

aaaaccckkk... I really need tickets...

does anyone know if the view from section 119 really sucks?

no i don't think that section 119 sucks at all. When i was at the last concert it look like a good place to sit. I was on the Floor and it SUCKED!!! i'm tall and still couldn't see anything. This time i got 112 thank god!

Okay, everyone's making me really nervous when they say that the floor seats suck, cause I have floor seats... It can't be as bad as my seats in August, though, those were all the way up in Section 432!

I have tickets for section 215 that I'll be listing on e-bay soon, in case anyone is looking for some.

anyone wearing a halloween costume? haha
I'm going as an obsessed Jonny stalker. :rolleyes:

"So wait, my seat might suck? Oh gosh"

 

 

I think your seats will be fine! I was in section 6 up in the front. I STILL had a great time i was just disapointed i couldn't see the band as much as i wanted. Any seat to this concert is worth every penny!!!

Wouldnt it be cool if they came on stage with costumes on??!!

 

Maybe like masks or something!!!

Has anybody been to a Viva tour show and able to say whether front row of sec. 110 has any obstruction...is this a premium view seat, or no?

I sat in section 109 last time they were here in Aug and there was good view. It def wasn't "premium" but a fine view nonetheless.

I'm just freaking excited hahahaha

Start Time?

 

My wife and I are attending the DC concert on Halloween...does anyone know the approximate time that the band takes the stage (tickets say 7:30 p.m. but I'm sure that contemplates opening act, etc.). We're not big Duffy fans and can stand to mis her...so just hoping I can get some guidance on the start time for Coldplay. Thanks...

And what if you want a Halloween that's somewhat unconventional?

 

 

· Coldplay is at Verizon Center on Halloween night. Put on some horn-rimmed glasses, an ironic T-shirt, a hoodie and your mopey face, and only you will know you're in costume. $49.50-$97.50. 7:30 p.m. Verizon Center, 601 F St. NW. 202-397-7328.

:rolleyes:

I can't speak to the floor tickets in the Verizon center as I was in the 400s when I went in August, but when I went to Cleveland I was on the center of the floor and my view was awesome. I think it just depends where you end up and who ends up around you.

 

I think it sucks that they do that for the scalpers...I'd much rather get good tickets and pay money that's actually going to support the band. Course, as I say this it's looking like I'm about to pay an obscene amount of money for better seats on lovely Ebay XD

I got a really good camera for the concert, with extra zoom (plus it's pocket sized.) I can't wait until Friday!!!!! :D
