February 26, 200917 yr Yea it's just a generic arena I've always foundhad terrible acoustics for a good show and a boring atmosphere. It's ok for winter time, but summer time the Molson Ampitheater or Toronto Island are perfect. I'm rooting for the Islands because t can hold so many more people +1. The only thing that i'm not liking about the Islands is that it is GA for such a big gig as this, ie: first come, first serve.The atmosphere would be way better though compared to the ACC. :) I'm still rooting for MA. MA>Islands>ACC, IMO. :laugh3:
February 26, 200917 yr YESSS!!! YES! I just heard on z103.5 that they are going to perform at Downsview Parc!!! This is going to be un#$%belivable, for those of you who don't know Downsview Parc is where the SARS event was held..it can hold 100,000 fans no problem. I told you all that they will come! and I guess now we don't have to worry about stupid scalpers and their stupid hikes and their stupid things..... ;)
February 26, 200917 yr Downsview Park, when did this happen. You would think the Coldplay website would say something of this though as well. As of right now there is nothing.
February 26, 200917 yr Over the radio like 20 mins ago...look for something tommorrow morning or later evening, after 6pm..That's when the websites are normally updated. I'm refreshing the z103 website to see if it shows up there until it's on the coldplay site or TM.
February 26, 200917 yr Oh that's great! At least you've heard SOMETHING lol. Will be watching coldplay.com ;) Thanks for the tip!
February 26, 200917 yr Any news of if tickets are still going on sale tomorrow??? - I've been waiting to see if they post anything on twitter - but there's nothing on there either.
February 26, 200917 yr Oh dayam.. getting excited!! Please keep us updated if you find out any info :D
February 26, 200917 yr Are you sure about downsview park, I just got a response to the email I sent to live nation and they have no information about ticket sales or the venue and I got the same response when I called ticketmaster. Neither of them was aware of a chosen venue.
February 26, 200917 yr At this point, I doubt the tickets will go on sale tomorrow. It would be really spontaneous of the band and LiveNation to spring the sale on us without sufficient notice. My guess is that: they'll announce the gig tomorrow and then start the sale sometime next week.
February 26, 200917 yr Would still really like to see something set in stone here, or at least a few more people who heard this. Personally, I was much happier with hearing it be at Amphitheatre. This is just going to make a 2 hour concert into a 14 hour mess. But obviously I will still be there.
February 26, 200917 yr I love the big day long mess of a show.. it makes the experience bigger and more grand of a day. Although it's really more fun if you have to take the ferry back and forth... I've always been jealous of the big massive 100,000 people shows Oasis and other bands do in the Uk.. I'd be nice to finally have that experience here. Just imagine 100,00 people all singing to Viva or Fix You or the giant YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA during In My Place Also I emailed Dave Bookie at Edge 102... they have no clue what's going on with the Coldplay show either. I don't understand how Z103 would know anything about the show before Edge 102
February 26, 200917 yr Imagine singing Yellow under the stars.... I just had a chill down my spine thinking about that.
February 26, 200917 yr you guys think molson amp is out of the question then? im still crossing my fingers for it
February 26, 200917 yr you guys think molson amp is out of the question then? im still crossing my fingers for it I've been questioning it from the get-go. They're just too big to play there now. It just doesn't hold enough people. I mean it's hard enough getting tickets to the ACC shows when that place holds about 20,000. I'd love it to be there. But it just doesn't make sense for a band that could probably play 7 shows in Toronto and sell them all out.
February 27, 200917 yr Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are going to push back the sale date. They were supposed to announce a venue last week, yet no news! A concert at Downsview Park seems cool! Will be more difficult to see them though...
February 27, 200917 yr To add to the rumours, here is something I just found on 92.5 Jack FMs website: "Coldplay's official website is reporting that the band will be playing a show in Toronto this summer on July 29th. No venue has been confirmed and an official announcement has yet to be made. However, you can expect that announcement very shortly with the BMO Field as the possible venue now. Check it out for yourself at the bands website here. " BMO Field has a capacity of about 25,000 for concerts, which is more than the ACC, and a lot more than the Molson Amphitheatre.

Mind you the 'X" had some pretty bad sound back in the day too... I saw U2, Bowie and Duran Duran (yeah yeah I know) back in the 80s/90s there and the sound just didn't cut it outdoors. The smaller BMO tho would be awesome as an alternative to the Ampitheatre. I'd still prefer the smaller ambient environment of the Molson Ampitheatre tho... :)
February 27, 200917 yr This is really pissing me off now, i just want to be able to purchase tickets....argh
February 27, 200917 yr well im gettin' up early tomorrow just to be sure... but this is really uncool...
February 27, 200917 yr Downsview Park would be interesting. Not sure about BMO though. Been there for an FC game and that's pretty much it. The suspense is killing me. :(
