March 3, 200917 yr Quite expensive though :sad: It was about AUD50 (approximate SGD50 as well) for a shirt. I only bought the tour tee (smallest guy size is still too big for me :P) since that was 'special' for this leg of the tour.

March 5, 200917 yr I'm quite sure they'll do an encore :D Even if I have to scream my lungs out for it :rolleyes:
March 6, 200917 yr Foul play over Coldplay tickets TICKETS for the upcoming Coldplay concert are being sold online for nearly four times the original price. The British band will be performing at Singapore Indoor Stadium on 23 Mar as part of its Viva La Vida tour. Tickets for the show were sold out soon after they went on sale on 16 Feb. The tickets were going for $248, $188, $158 and $88 on Sistic, excluding the $3 booking fee. A New Paper check of online auction site eBay yesterday showed at least 23 tickets on sale, with 22 of them priced above the original price. The highest price for a $248 ticket was $922.50. Despite the high price, the tickets are in high demand. In total, 70 bids had already been put up through 16 different bidding accounts. On Tuesday, that same ticket was going for $902.50. When contacted, the seller revealed that he was holding on to four of such tickets and, so far, two were on auction. He said he wouldn't mind selling all four upon negotiation. A different seller has put up a pair of tickets originally priced at $376 for auction at $1,210 as of yesterday at noon. So far, 31 bids were made through seven different accounts. Are such transactions legal? Mr Kelvin Tan, a lawyer with Drew and Napier, told The New Paper that 'there is no reason to stop such transactions since the seller is not causing a public disturbance and, most likely, the buyer is aware that the cost is higher than the original price'. But he added that the ticketing agent, in this case Sistic, can take action if the terms of the sales contractually means that the buyer cannot resell the item to a third party. A clause at the back of the ticket read: 'The resale of tickets at the same or any price in excess of the initial purchase price is prohibited... Entry will be refused if tickets have not been purchased from Sistic or any authorised point of sale.' Ms Charmayne Yap, spokesman from concert promoter Live Nation (Singapore) which is organising the show, said: 'We have contacted Sistic who will contact the customers and warn them of the repercussions of reselling the tickets. We have also contacted eBay.' She added: 'We can't stop people who are willing to pay such a ridiculous price for the tickets. 'However, the buyers can be refused entry because these tickets are bought inappropriately and we can find out the ticket number of these seats.' Coldplay's previous shows in 2001 and 2006 were also sold out. The band's popularity escalated after it won three major awards, including Best Rock Album and Song Of The Year, at the 51st Grammy Awards last month. Sales of its last album Viva La Vida hit 6.8 million copies worldwide. Coldplay fan Mr Hairul Sukaime, 29, told The New Paper: 'Until the concert promoters, ticket vendors and bands work together to snub out touting, people who manage to buy the tickets can sell them at whatever price they fancy, so long (as) there is demand. 'It brings in a handsome profit for those who are not interested to watch the concert in the first place.' Such inflated ticket prices tend to be commonplace whenever an in-demand act comes to town. Tickets for singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, who performed at Singapore Indoor Stadium last night, were sold out in less than a week after they went on sale on 12 Jan. Of the 18 tickets on auction on eBay on Wednesday, a pair of tickets with an original total price of $290 was priced at $571.50. When Taiwanese star Jay Chou held his concert here in January last year, tickets originally priced at $198 each were auctioned at $500 apiece. http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/show/story/0,4136,195007,00.html
