February 6, 200917 yr This is awesome as while the HP Pavilion center wasn't as bad...Shoreline beats all, always the best sound and energy at this venue, plus it's outdoors. Garlic fries anyone?, just glad to see it made it on the tour list. :) Although I wonder how the stage setting would work here, never seen extended staging at this venue. Maybe they plan to switch it up.
February 6, 200917 yr Bit disappointing to see the prices for good seats are over $100 again and that coldplay are using ticketmaster auctions for premium seats again!
February 7, 200917 yr I'm so excited I could go on my roof and scream. Now I have lots of time to befriend someone who can hook me up with meet and greet passes! I. Have. To. Meet. Coldplay.
February 7, 200917 yr Tickets Where did you see prices? I didn't find anything on Ticketmaster's website yet. I found the Livenation link for it. Please post presale codes! Would love to get meet and greet passes. Can you buy them? I live in Mountain View, Shoreline is 5 minutes away! Bit disappointing to see the prices for good seats are over $100 again and that coldplay are using ticketmaster auctions for premium seats again!
February 7, 200917 yr This show is just about 10-15 minutes from my college. Unfortunately...the show is July 13, so I'll well be back home then. :( Looks like I'll be hitting up an East Coast show!
February 7, 200917 yr Wooo hooo! If I had the money I'd follow all 3 California dates but I do not unfortunately. Looks like I'll only make it to the San Diego and Carson show...San Fran is wayyyy tooo far from me, around 6 hrs. I would totally do it if I had relatives up there, but I don't so that means hotel expenses, which I don't have :(
February 7, 200917 yr Everyone going to San Fran show we should make a plan in the coming months to meet up hours before the show and try and meet Coldplay. We can make a huge Coldplayer banner...I have seen pics on here and that seems to work!
February 9, 200917 yr Hey, does anyone know when the LiveNation password will be sent out? I'm going to try out this pre-sale thing!
February 9, 200917 yr After much discussion, me and my best friend decided that this is one of the concerts we will be attending, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
February 9, 200917 yr I'm going to try to get a presale code tomorrow; can't really do anything at this hour. I'll definitely try my hardest to attend this event, though! It'll be great!
February 9, 200917 yr I have the presale code folks! I must warn you the presale tickets are not that great and better tickets will be on general sale. The best tickets I am afraid are going on auctions. The top price tickets are $101 plus fee's-so about $120 or so in total. The lawn tickets are something like $30 total.
February 9, 200917 yr Wow... Well my and the fam are going to try for tickets, I think we might just wait for the general sale day, as I've heard pre-sale is a big disappointment. I think I'm going to try my luck standing in line. We live in a small area, and frankly trying to buy online tickets last summer got me stuck in the nosebleed section, and I have high speed and all that. If I'm first or second in line, do you think I'll have a chance at a 1/2 way decent ticket or a ticket at all??
February 10, 200917 yr I'll be at this show as well! I dont know how I should go about getting my tickets though, what are you guys doing?
February 10, 200917 yr I was planning to do the presale on Friday. I'm really annoyed because people are saying presale tickets aren't that great and others say they are pretty good.
February 10, 200917 yr Now I'm not sure what to do; getting the presale code could be a hassle, and I'm not sure if it's worth the effort because of the mixed reactions on how good the tickets are...

If I'm first or second in line, do you think I'll have a chance at a 1/2 way decent ticket or a ticket at all?? It makes no difference! There is no magic way to get tickets (I used to audit ticketmaster and its systems). If you go to a ticketmaster retail outlet, you rely on the agent getting on the booking system at the right moment-essentially these outlet places are doing the same thing as you would do at home. If you go to the venue box office it depends on the venue-they all have different line systems. Some use lotteries ie. they give 50 tickets out to the first 50 people in line and you essentially draw a lot. This does not even mean you will get a ticket! Typically, they will hold a small allotment of around 100 tickets and every person gets to pick what they want. The tickets here are no better than anywhere else. Sadly, most of the best tickets have already been allocated to the band, promoters, sponsors etc...sadly coldplay are using ticketmaster auctions for the best seats. So it will be really hard to get anything within the 1st ten rows.
