Can. Not. Wait.

without the ticket, I'd rather die

I am here. :dance:

without the ticket, I'd rather die

 

Yeah -- word.

 

Still nothing on official ticket prices...?

Still nothing on official ticket prices...?

 

Its going to be a billion dollars per ticket, so you may as well stay off the ticketek website on day of sale and that wat its less clogged for us who can afford it... :P.

*slaparooni*

:shame:

thank god, they've finally announced the tour. not that god had anything to do with it. but still.

i missed the twisted logic tour so this is gonna be awesome! i read somewhere that tix will be around $140. wish i could go to both melbourne nights though :(

Hi, how can I purchase for the pre-sale without a Visa card? I just have Access card of ANZ

You can't.

HAHAHAHAHA GOIGN TO BE AN AWESOME NIGHT OUT :)

You know, I'd almost certainly consider paying a billion dollars to see Coldplay. Almost.

 

The thing about the Visa Pre-Sale is that you have to have a Visa card -- you're not allowed to participate otherwise. So, thank you very much, Dad.

 

I am so excited for this. Seriously. I'm pretty much set on doing anything to get to both Melbourne shows.

 

 

Speaking of which, for those who have had previous experience, any advice on how much earlier you'd need to get to Rod Laver to get the best possible GA position?

I've heard from times as early as 8am, but I know twistedCLOCKS here got second row after joining the line at 4pm - the security guard moved her up :smiley:

Also about the Visa credit card thing - guess it's because Visa got the promoting job :\

I've heard from times as early as 8am, but I know twistedCLOCKS here got second row after joining the line at 4pm - the security guard moved her up :smiley:

 

Ooh, very nice! But 8AM? Bummer. I'd be so up for that, but yeah -- school is going to make that a little difficult.

 

I figured I'd go reserved seating for the March 3rd show, then GA for the one on the 4th. Get a feel for things.

 

Thanks for your input, Cobalt.

I'm not sure about it really. I'm definitely going GA for March 3, dunno about March 4. I wanna have Chrissy b'day banner :D

Hah, nice.

 

Pre-sale is so close! And for the moment I haven't been able to stop refreshing both the Ticketek page and this thread. Clearly, this announcement/event/whatever has taken priority over everything...

i couldn't afford to go to both shows. but i got tix to this one! yay. gold seating, woot. it's gonna be awesome.

yeh i wanted the 3rd cos it was closest to chrissy's b-day but the stupid red message kept coming up....did it sell out?

but i'm still happy :)

 

 

can't wait!

i'm pumped already :)

Ha ha! Hi twistedCLOCKS!! :cool:

 

When I saw this Australian date I thought "wow, it is ALMOST on Chris' b-day!"

You Australian peeps are lucky ducks! :P

You get a Coldplay treat in 2009!

I'll be coming across from Adelaide. My friends and I are making a banner. But you'll have to wait and see what it says.

I've got a gold upper one

Hello Coldplay gang. When the pre-sale is over on December 4th will further seats become available? Or could it sell out before the general public ticket release date??

 

Thanks for any help.

no, the presale is only a small allocation of all the seats. probably about 5-10%. the rest of the tickets go on sale 4 december next week. so don't worry, the presale will probs sell out but heaps of tickets are still available.

Pre-sale is already over. General sale is December 4th.
