November 14, 200817 yr this has not been confirmed yet but some highly respected newspapers have begun to comment on the tour here is an article which appeared in the melbourne Age newspaper 30minutes ago. TWO of the world's hottest rock bands, Coldplay and Kings of Leon, will play in Melbourne in March with sharply different ticket prices. Brit band Coldplay and American rockers Kings of Leon will strut their stuff at Rod Laver Arena. Kings of Leon have refused costly tiered pricing, instead setting all tickets at a credit-crunch-friendly $92. Coldplay have a March 2 show on hold, with final confirmation due shortly. Coldplay's ever-increasing asking price saw a string of local promoters pass on the tour, figuring it too much of a financial risk. The cost will be passed on to fans who will pay about $145 for a ticket. The sudden mainstream popularity of the band created a huge bidding war among local promoters. Three or four Coldplay shows have been earmarked in each state to make a profit from the tour. "It will be interesting to see how it goes," said a tour insider. "That number of shows is ambitious in the current climate." Coldplay had three shows at Rod Laver Arena on their last Australian tour in 2006.
November 14, 200817 yr there are lots of rumors about a latin american tour in march too.. so maybe they'll do a australia/asia/latin amercian tour leg :dance:
November 14, 200817 yr $145 a ticket? Fuck man, that's expensive :stunned: I thought it'd be more likely $120 and even that's pretty pricey But hey, 3 or 4 dates in each state :dance: Wonder if they'll be planning to go to places like Perth or Darwin... who knows (just don't send them to Kiwi Land)
November 14, 200817 yr March 2nd = Chris' Birthday. I always feel kind of bad for them when they have a concert on their birthdays

November 14, 200817 yr strong rumours that they will play at Acer Arena in sydney on March 11 OMG PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!!!!! $145 isn't bad. I paid that much for Kylie at ACER.
November 14, 200817 yr Yeah, but still. A lot of people I know would be scared away by the price (thus at my school likely to be a good bragging topic: "I got to go see Coldplay at $145 a ticket!")
November 14, 200817 yr Yeah, but still. A lot of people I know would be scared away by the price (thus at my school likely to be a good bragging topic: "I got to go see Coldplay at $145 a ticket!") Good point. Though people were willing to dish out the same for Justin Timberlake (myself included). Just depends on the artist, I suppose. But $145 for Coldplay is definately worth it.
November 14, 200817 yr They will only play at the capital cities don't you think? Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide I'm not so sure about Darwin, Newcastle or Hobart - but I'm guessing a yes for Darwin (because they're playing all states) and if they play four dates in NSW one of them might be a Newcastle date
November 14, 200817 yr will the tickets be cheaper in smaller capital cities, if they play them? Umm... not sure. Maybe a slight reduction but maybe not.
November 14, 200817 yr there are lots of rumors about a latin american tour in march too.. so maybe they'll do a australia/asia/latin amercian tour leg :dance: No ;O;!
