*Double Post*

 

thef1re -- Yep. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that it'll be 'First In, First Serve' regarding the GA tickets (well, for all of them actually).

 

Of course, the pre-sale will not be releasing all General Admission tickets -- they need some left for people to wrestle over in the queues; entertain all us lucky ones that got them first! ;)

 

But yes, you assume right (I assume...). :D

no opening act? just coldplay this time aye? nice!

At their last concert, it was certainly first come first serve yet once the guards gave us permission to stand up, all that went out the window and I ran haha. So despite coming quite late, my speedy attitude landed me 2nd row standing front and centre :smug: haha. /end off topic.

 

Thank goodness ticket prices are up. Now my dilemma is who the hell to go with! My friends like CP but not enough to pay $110-140 to see them. Any Brisbane Coldplayers here? If only Annie and Josh weren't Melbourneans haha, come to the sunny state already! :P

If it is 140$ AUS it is ok

 

 

dont complain

I've been in a restless sleep for the last two hours; got up now just to make sure that tickets aren't on sale...

 

...there's something wrong with me. :P

Oh, StarsKay -- how much earlier before the concert did you get there?

 

Where there lots of people already lined up and waiting?

WOO-HOO!!!! They're playing on my birthday - MARCH 3. Best Birthday gift ever. Shame about the VISA pre-sale, i'm a Mastercard Holder (bugger it!). I've never been to a Coldplay gig. What's best? Seating or standing?

I agree -- we need these prices!

 

And I highly doubt the Coldplay shows will be fully seated. Like StarsKay, I've never been to a concert at Rod Laver Arena where there hasn't been GA -- I'm 100% positive there will be standing... ;)

 

...or, There Will Be Blood.

 

Actually, I saw Crowded House last year at Rod Laver and it was 100% seating - floor included. I also believe that The Eagles and Billy Joel were similar too. But for an act like Coldplay who are targeted toward younger audiences like ourselves (20 to 30) i'd imagine they'd go for standing.

Oh, cool, TryWhistlingThis. :)

 

Well, like I said -- I've never been to a concert where there hasn't been standing (including Coldplay in '06). But, yeah, it makes sense that they would have GA with a different target audience. :D

 

No-one can help clarify the sections for Rod Laver? :(

That will be lovely for my friend in Australia.. :)

I love your signature, ice water. :D

 

Did you make it?

YESSS!

 

Got 3 gold standing tickets! :D:D:D:D

If it is 140$ AUS it is ok

 

 

dont complain

yes, they shouldn't.

My sister and I arrived around 5pm and there was a line already, though only for the GA section of course :D. A lot of people were lined up already, some said they were there from 2pm, however the actual venues don't open the doors that early so the real 'line game' starts once you're allowed in.

 

45 MINS :D

YESSS!

 

Got 3 gold standing tickets! :D:D:D:D

Good for you :)

 

Gosh, this is quite nerve-racking :wreck: It always is! Argh! Yet how exciting! :D

I went onto the website today at 9am to get the visa pre-sale tickets, and All of the standing room had sold, so had to settle for lower sitting on the second show.

 

Still happy I have tickets, and seeing coldplay is priceless, not $140.

 

These shows will sell out.

Indeed, CP is priceless!

All their shows from the TLT were sold out so I'm definitely not surpriced. It's a ruthless business when purchasing tickets online lol.

Geez.

 

I can't get hold of any standing tickets, even though it is stated as 'available'.

 

:rolleyes:

Yeah, that was dodgy. Dam ticketek

Do you think they leave a couple of standing tix for general purchase? :thinking:

Most probably. All of the pre-sale allocations must have gone. I mean, thay have to leave some tickets for Dec 4th.. but I am a bit upset, they should have left the crap ones like the bronze upper levels....

 

Their logic (or lack of), I will never understand. May hope for an upgrade on the night.. I have been hearing alot of things like that happening with other shows.

Presale is only some of the tickets-there will be plenty for general sale.

It's really infuriating. Pre-sale buyers ought to get the better tickets.

 

But that's the reality of purchasing tickets online.

 

Yeah, let's hope for an upgrade or something. Coldplaying karma.

Cool might try to get some standing the other night of the 2. Anyways, off to work, good luck every1 getting tix

And some general sale tickets would be better than the presale tickets.

 

Then what is the point of a presale? :rolleyes:

 

Pardon me, I'm just ranting.

Pre-sale buyers ought to get the better tickets.

 

In theory yes, but actually it's been stated many times that that's not the purpose of a pre-sale.
