Ooh that might be a bit tough Shaftell but possible if you're quick. I bought a single ticket for the Portland show, and to test how good of seats I could have gotten had my friend been able to commit to going, I checked to see what kind of seats I could get if I wanted two next to eachother a minute later. The floor area already wasnt available...

 

For this show my bf says he wants to go with me, but he isn't a fan of Coldplay really(he's said that he has absolutely no interest in ever spending money on one of their CD's and yet wants to spend over 100 to see them live), so I sort of want to be selfish and buy myself a single ticket so that I can get a seat as close as possible to the stage. Im worried that buying a pair of tickets will put me much further back..

Does each password have different seats given to them? because i happen to have all 3 presale passwords

So, how do you get into the Livenation presale? Whats the password? And where do you enter it?

How's this gonna be priced?

 

100 for floor, 80 for lower, and 50 for upper?

 

 

And what's the view like from the upper bowl. Horrible or fine?

I've seen Coldplay twice at the GM Place, once in the 300's and once on the floor (row 40something), and I enjoyed the concert MUCH better from the 300's... you can see everything, and even though it's quite a bit further from the stage, you don't miss out on any of the music or show... and the big screens help too! So sitting in the 300's: not bad at all!

the biggest question is what are the presale codes, were all major fans.. Any help?

Okay, from what was said in this thread, "STRINGS" is the Ticketrush presale which is for Livenation.com

 

"VIOLET" is the radio presale. I don't know for which site.

 

I'm still looking for the ticketmaster presale codes. I'm hoping someone will post the passwords for the presales that we don't have already.

Apparently the Canucks presale code is "scientist"

 

Or at least that's what I've found.

 

 

Another question... for presale are only the good seat released? Or some of the cheaper ones as well?

Maybe i'm just an idiot, but is the Ticket Rush pre-sale password, which is "strings", work when you go to ticketmaster and do the live nation pre-sale tomorrow at 10am.

 

 

Or do we have to buy them through Live Nation and use that password?

 

 

 

 

So far i have found 3 passwords, Strings, scientist, and Violet, no clue which to use where.

I think..

 

ticketrush is strings

 

radio is violet

 

canucks is scientist

 

 

I am not sure about how the live nation presale works though, the other ones we can just enter at ticketmaster though I think.

aww shit.

 

They person I was gonna go with backed out.

 

Shit for not having any friends who are Coldplay fans.

 

Fuck. I doubt I'll be getting tickets this weekend now.

 

Maybesomething will come up between now and June.

 

Or else there's always you know 3 or whatever years from now.

 

 

Arrrggh.

One thing to De-bunk. All Pre-sale starts tomorrow! No Canucks fans have tickets yet. They are all at 10 AM tomorrow. And pic wisely, it will sell quickly. These pre-sale codes arent exactly a secret. All the Stations have been e-mailing them out.

 

I have sat everywhere in GM Place. 300s for the Police, and 110s for Santana. GM Place has no bad sightlines.

 

Also, if you dont get tickets check back often, I got tickets to the Police which sold out...I got the tickets the night before the show.

 

Also, a side note. Vancouver is the end of their North American Tour, if the demand is there, they have a lot of room to add another show. NHL is out, no other concerts. Keep an eye out for a second show to be added when the first sells out in 2 minutes.

Yeah, there's actually a rumor going around GM place that they'll be adding a second show very soon.

 

Good luck getting tickets everyone!

 

To recap the passwords again:

Strings (Ticketrush)

Violet(Radio)

Scientist (Canucks)

The Demand has been huge in Vancouver for a long time. I know 50+ people trying to see them. They'll add a second show. Demand is there. June 22nd I guess.

 

and those are them!

Yeah, there's actually a rumor going around GM place that they'll be adding a second show very soon.

 

Good luck getting tickets everyone!

fingers crossed that you're right! 2 shows would be AMAZING!! I missed them in Pemberton and have just been hoping and hoping a show near here would be announced. :D

Pemberton was a disappointment for me. Bad sound techs, short set list, and impossible to see. GM Place will be awesome.

yikes that was freaking nuts, for a while there it didnt have any 2 tickets available seated next to each other so I just bought one... 28th row floor... not as good as the seat I would have if I decided to still go to Portland where I had an 18th row. I'm really hoping for a 2nd show.

How did you guys manage to get anything?! I tried 20 times and managed to get tickets one time!

And it was upper bowl

I got NOTHING, not even once.

 

Tommorow it is lol

Yeah, hopefully we can manage to get some tickets tomorrow

I had a few pages open until I got one with a floor seat... not the best floor seat but I just didnt want to be way at the back or in the bleachers because the crowd is never as fun there as on the floor I find. I like the excitement and singing and all that but everyone gets all shy in Vancouver when theyre not on the floor I find. Im sad that Im not going with anyone though... always more fun to be next to a friend.

 

I remember a few years ago when i was buying presale tickets to prince, bowie, and other big concerts it was sooo easy to get 5th row floor seats no problem. Nowadays it seems that only ticket resellers get the good seats and not the actual fans :(

I got NOTHING, not even once.

 

Tommorow it is lol

keep trying

 

there is still more coming up right now
