February 6, 200917 yr I will (hopefully!) be there too! Driving from Champaign/Urbana if anyone wants to carpool. Not even sure who I'll drag with me this time... Am planning to just buy a couple of tickets and worry about who gets the other one once July rolls around. So exciting! :dance: Maybe some of us could go together..? >.> I've only made one friend since moving to Champaign and she doesn't want to go. :/ *sigh*
February 10, 200917 yr I'm gonna try for tix! It's a 5 hour drive for me, but I'm thinking my daughter and I will make a little weekend trip of it! SaraKristen, what part of AR are you in?? I'm in the eastern part, not far from Memphis! Oops, sorry for the double post!

I'm in the eastern part, not far from Memphis! Oops, sorry for the double post! I'm in Mountain Home. North Central AR. We're about 15-20 miles from the MO border. It'll only be about a 3 hour drive for us! We saw them in KC in Nov and that was a 5 hr trip but it was well worth it!
February 11, 200917 yr I really hope I can go!!!!!!!!! It will be between a 4 1/2 to 7 hour drive for me. Maybe longer b/c I have no idea where anything is there! I haven't been any where else in MO besides KC. And I missed the concert that they had there last Nov. :( So this would be my first Coldplay concert!!!!!!!!!!
February 13, 200917 yr Live Nation debuts ticket system for Coldplay While the proposed merger of Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. and concert promoter Live Nation Inc. hasn't yet affected how the public will buy tickets, Live Nation has announced a new ticketing system that will replace Ticketmaster for Verizon Wireless Amphitheater concerts. Tickets to the July 24 Coldplay concert at Verizon go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, and with that comes the first run of the new system. Ticketmaster can still be used for other venues, including Scottrade Center and the Pageant. Here are the options for buying tickets for Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. — livenation.com: It's the only site authorized to sell tickets for Verizon. — Verizon Wireless Amphitheater box office: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday. There is no service charge at the box office during the first week of sales. — By phone: 1-877-598-8703. — Select Blockbuster stores: 3860 Vogel Road in Arnold, 12161 Manchester Road in Des Peres, 15957 Manchester Road in Ellisville and 6400 Gravois Avenue in St. Louis.

February 13, 200917 yr I got my tix!!!!!! Not great ones, but at least I'll be there! Which did you get? I tried both the radio and ticketrush presale right at 10am, and I never got an option in the lower sections. After trying about thirty times, I settled for row two of the upper middle section. Since it's a pretty small venue, that's still very good, but not quite as good as I was hoping.

I had the exact same problem!!! Very frustrating!
February 13, 200917 yr I'm in the Upper middle, row JJ. 2 seats close to the aisle 5. you did better than I did! I checked again just a bit ago and there were some down in row T on the left side. Closer to the front, but all the way to the edge of the venue.
February 13, 200917 yr Row FF upper left center, here. If I'd waited half an hour I could have gotten U in the lower Right section. :\ Oh, well. ... if this is an outdoor venue how are they going to drop the butterflies during Lovers in Japan?!
February 13, 200917 yr Sara, where are your seats? Row PP :( And I bought them at 10:05!! Could it be possible that they didn't open up all of the tickets for the presale? I was thinking about getting on again tomorrow when the reg. sale opens up and seeing if I can get anything better.

I was thinking about getting on again tomorrow when the reg. sale opens up and seeing if I can get anything better. It's a possibility. I'm afraid, though, that the lower levels have all gone to ticket re-salers. I just checked stub-hub and they have a ton of seats in the lower level for $700+. Even row Y, the tickets I got, are $400ish. I've pretty much conceded the fact that unless I'm selected for a ticket upgrade or am able to see Coldplay at a festival, I'll never get in the first set of seats.

Yeah I'm starting to get that feeling too. At least I'm alot closer this time than I as last time. When I saw them in Nov. I was about as far back as you could get. I"m still going to get on tomorrow and see what happens. Maybe I'll get lucky! What part of AR are you from?
February 13, 200917 yr I MAY check again tomorrow too. Although if I find some closer, it'll make me ill. I can't really afford to spend another $260 this weekend. None of us are rally that far apart seatwise, we need to meet up beforehand! Novah, i'm wondering about the butterflies too. Maybe they'll shoot them out of cannons into the crowd! I want some!!

I looked at a 3D image of the theater and it looks like the seated area is covered. So if that's right they should still be able to do the butterflies!

In KC we were out of reach of the butterflies. They were directly overhead but the draft pulled them all away! A few came within a couple feet of my outstretched fingertips but I caught none! This time I'm bringing my NET from entomology class! YEAH!!
