mrman78 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Damn, well my gamble didn't pay off, lol... That was even worse than yesterday, I'm really surprised! That has to have been the worst ticket selection ever for a concert on the day the tickets go on sale... I've never had that bad luck before :shocked2: Oh well, I guess I should have gone with the Sec 102 DD seats I pulled up yesterday, but that's life I guess. It's crazy to think that the best I was able to pull up were those and Sec 101 and 103 row X (although these were on the way outer edge). To be honest, I love Coldplay, but I just don't have the doe right now to just be buying multiple tickets. Chances are you can resell them and all, but I don't want to risk that. The concert isn't for another five months, so I'll be saving and searching till then :D I've found as it gets closer to the show and some people realise they cannot go, they sell them for near face value. Anyway, I'd rather pay a little more and get a better ticket when I have the cash in a few more months! Ooh, yeah, and that was kind of sketchy how it said 'full pricke tickets' lol... and also if that stupid text we have to enter is supposed to stop scalpers, etc. how come they STILL get the good seats?!

nobetternoworse Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 ^ sorry to hear that mrman78! Yeah, it sucks. An interesting though, after several searches with other ticket agencies (stubhub, stubhsearch, etc) I am not finding any pit tickets! I'm surprised. Maybe they'll be released later? Have they been sold? I don't know... I hope you guys all got tickets that will be satisfactory. Just remember though, if you were able to get tickets, you HAVE tickets to see one of the greatest bands in the world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know on whether to buy the lawn tickets for Dallas.. or just wait for more dates.:confused: Yeah, I know, and they were aisle! I'm stupid :cry: I just went on the theory of when I've tried to get tickets before, if you refresh you usually get better seats (I got row X in Secs 101 and 103, but they were on the outer edges, so not necessarily better). For November, this worked amazingly. My first try I got Floor E Row 14, then I refreshed and got Sec 105 row 6 - basically front row on the side! So it's a gamble... Oh well, I have five months to figure it out, lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angst Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm REALLLLLLY mad with the tickets. I should've just gotten my tickets yesterday. I was getting better seats in the pre-sale. I got section 106, Row R 28-27 and paid the SAME price people in the closer sections paid. I feel jipped. It should've been in the $80 range, not the $100 range!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localola86 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 ^Angst, read several posts made by a member on the Mansfield concert thread. Apparently, he was able to get a refund for tickets that shoudl have been sold to him on the $80 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localola86 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 ^I'm not going to the Houston concert, but I understand how you feel. I couldn;t go to their Tampa concert back in 2006 b/c I didn't have money. AND had to wait 2 loooong years to see then for the 1st time in Orlando. Took my brother (not fan, assigned driver) and my sister (fan). Totally worth the wait, and I had the luck of being in the section were they sang The Scientist. I didn't expect to see them that close, AMAZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localola86 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 By stalking, do you mean being early at the venue, make posters, have a piece of outfit that's Coldplay or "Viva la Vida" related, meeting other Coldplayers, or waving at the roadies while you hang out around the venue early in the day?

cyyoungcear Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 How your seats are better in Dallas? 202 better than 108? :thinking: I have tickets for both concerts in Texas. The tickets I have for the Superpages.com center are 202 row FF. For CWMP I have 108 C http://www.livenation.com/venue/superpagescom-center-tickets Check out the 3d seating chart. And then http://www.woodlandscenter.org/2009_fac_seating_chart.pdf That's for CWMP, they're both center, so they're good seats, but I'm a little closer in Dallas.

coldplay45 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Something cool probably will happen. They allways say they write new music during sound checks so maybe we will hear new music. and maybe they will come out and meet us if we are lucky.

At the toyota center concert I met a guy who took pictured with Tom Yorke from radiohead, by waiting after the concert. He said there is "only 1 exit" from where artists can leave.

That is so cool, we need to find out where performers at the Cynthia Woods Pavilion exit, then just wait there. we should be looking all around the venue before the show(for the exit and COLDPLAY):D.

luckygirl1791 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Oooh! Sounds like a wonderful plan! Since it's in the summer, I'm lucky enough to be off--I'll probably be hanging around the venue all day, should something indeed happen! Usually it's a school night or whatever at most concerts, and my friends/parents want to leave...yes, they are losers...but screw it all, this is Coldplay!!! I'm so freaking glad I got tickets from the presale, the public sale sounds like it was total crap! Sorry to all you guys who couldn't get tickets. And yeah, closer to the concert date, there are definitely some nice fans who won't be able to go and will take face value--this is how I got to go to my first concert, U2 at that, for about $100 a pop. Anyway, good luck! Only five months to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa_spurs_tx Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I guess it was better than the Dallas presale. We got tickets in sec 101 row Z seats 11-12. I think we might be seating next you SA_Spurs_TX. BTW we're also from San Antonio. Looks like we're going on a road trip....Dallas then Houston! :) I'm thankful for the tix but they don't compare to the tix we had in November for the Toyota Center concert. I'm still psyched! Looks like we got really lucky, I cant find many other ppl who got seats closer than 101 row Z. I did see 4 seats go for 900 dollars on section 101 row C..ridiculous.
