February 6, 200917 yr I am absolutely going to this concert and am going to plan work and vacations accordingly around it. Not listed on LiveNation yet likely due to the pre-sale being two weeks away, but I've got to get friends' summer schedules ASAP. The Home Depot Center is a very interesting (outdoor!) venue consisting of a tennis court, soccer stadium, and track facility. I've been to the tennis court a few times for non-sporting events, but it seems too small for a concert. And the problem with the soccer stadium is that with its sheer size and ability to hold 27,000 people (and that's just seats above the floor), I truly hope Coldplay is ready for their biggest California concert ever if they use it. Methinks the tennis court would be a lot more feasible with the floor stuff (rallies I've been to there were all great). Further info: http://www.homedepotcenter.com/
February 7, 200917 yr Coldplay coming to Home Depot Center in July Having already dazzled at the Forum and Honda Center on its tour behind the acclaimed album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, Coldplay will next invade Home Depot Center in Carson on July 18, with a stop two days before that at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre (formerly Coors Amphitheatre) in Chula Vista. If memory serves, the British quartet, heavily favored to rack up several trophies at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards — including quite possibly the prizes for album, record and song of the year — will be the first band to headline at the HDC since Green Day conquered generations young and old with American Idiot. By the way, Chris Martin & Co. also will be spotlighted in a segment on 60 Minutes just before the Grammy telecast on CBS. Tickets for the Carson bash go on sale Feb. 21, while the Cricket show goes up a week earlier, Feb. 23. Stay tuned for any further details. http://soundcheck.freedomblogging.com/2009/02/06/coldplay-coming-to-home-depot-center-in-july/4552/
February 7, 200917 yr Wooo hooo! If I had the money I'd follow all 3 California dates but I do not, so I am just gonna try my best for San Diego and Carson! Crosses finger!
February 7, 200917 yr Wooo hooo! If I had the money I'd follow all 3 California dates but I do not, so I am just gonna try my best for San Diego and Carson! Crosses finger! hey same here!!
February 11, 200917 yr what is the seating chart for this venue? i need to know and i can't find one since the home depot center has like 3 different arenas and i don't know which one it is..and it's not on live nation or ticketmaster???!!!!!

So soccer stadium looking very likely. I'm surprised there isn't more hype here for an L.A. concert.

I'm surprised there isn't more hype here for an L.A. concert. thanks..and yeah not much hype..more hype for sd..which i am going to as well..i think that the sd one might be a better venue...
February 11, 200917 yr yea whats up with this? why isnt anybody getting excited. How do we get the presale for this? I might want to go to this one over SD if its GA for the floor. SD is all seated isn't it?

February 13, 200917 yr i need 3 tickets well at least 2 my friend has to tell me if he wants to come or not..but the presale seems to be the same so i suggest general sale...
February 13, 200917 yr It would be so awesome if they make the Home Depot Center floor General Admission instead! From the looks of it, the floor looks HUUUUUGE, I mean it is where they play soccer afterall and seats 27,000 people at least. If it is General Admission, how early are you guys willing to go? Oh man....I don't even know how early I'd go. The longest I've ever camped for anything was 20 hrs only, I can only imagine!
February 13, 200917 yr I'm not gonna lie - the stadium floor sounds amazing. I was turned off by the floor at the last concert and settled with the stands, but considering the dynamics of this venue, I'm seriously gonna try for a stellar floor spot. Right now I'm needing two tickets. More could join in the next week before I get into the massive ticket-sniping brawl with the rest of you on the 20th, but keeping it small will make it easier to get A-grade seats.

Oh man....I don't even know how early I'd go. The longest I've ever camped for anything was 20 hrs only, I can only imagine! well i would go there right after the san diego one on the july 16 hahah...seriously i would...
February 13, 200917 yr hahhaha i would have someone line up for me cos i'm sure people would be lining up wayyy days before! in a way...i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's GA for the floor! cos then the people who deserve to be in the front will be there!
February 13, 200917 yr Sorry to burst your bubble dudes, but I used to work at this venue, and for concerts they set up seats on the soccer field. So, no general admission I'm afraid, that will be saved for the lawn area. I mean, unless Coldplay pulls something totally different, but from the looks of other shows, it's doubtful. Plus, the field is a HUGE area, and I think it would get a little chaotic if it were GA.

Majority of their concerts are GA even though the crowds are well over 100,000! Like Glastonbury....they have a crowd of over 180,000 when it is held and it's GA. It looks amazing.....
February 14, 200917 yr still no big hype for this..maybe we will get great seats! i am doing the presale..
February 14, 200917 yr Okay I hate to sound dumb, but what's the lawn area? And how far is it from the stage?
February 15, 200917 yr Okay I hate to sound dumb, but what's the lawn area? And how far is it from the stage? the lawn aread i just that...lawn grass i believe where u stand up and see them..and i think it is the furthest away possible from the stage..heres this link if u are talking about the carson show...just click down to concert to view a map.but i believe there is no lawn for this show... http://www.ticketmaster.com/venue/74263
