Mimixxx Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Coldplay to perform May 18 at Verizon Center near Birmingham Coldplay will return to the Birmingham area for a May 18 concert at the Verizon Wireless Music Center, promoter Live Nation announced today. Tickets for the date in Pelham, priced at $35-$97.50, will go on sale at 10 a.m. March 16 at 877-598-8698 or www.livenation.com. The show time and opening act haven't been confirmed. Coldplay, a Grammy-winning British rock band, is touring to spread the word about its latest CD, "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends." Coldplay last performed here in January 2003 at the BJCC Concert Hall. In September 2005, Coldplay canceled a show at the Verizon Center, blaming a virus that had sickened lead singer Chris Martin. http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2009/03/coldplay_to_perform_may_18_at.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's at what use to be the Oak Mountain (now Verizon Amphitheater). Bout 15 miles south of the BJCC on I-65. Never seen Coldplay outdoors. Hope the weather cooperates.

gibbsca Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 TicketRush Has anyone used TicketRush on Live Nation before. The Live Nation site now says TicketRush starting March 13th at 5PM CST.

I signed up for TicketRush and got the password, but we'll see. Just got my tickets through the TicketRush presale. Not thrilled. Section 202, Row J, seats 13-16 Makes me wonder if sections 101,102, and 103 were even part of the presale. $390 for 4 tickets $24 parking fee $80.60 ticket fee $31.20 ticket tax $525.80 total for 4 middle of the pack seats. Guess I'll check back on Monday when tickets open to the public and see if the best seats are available then? I was too scared to risk not getting the best I could get to day, thinking that not much would be left on Monday. Argh, what can you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it has been at all the amphitheater shows. The general sale will not be much better. They will only offer seats at the back of the front 3 sections if any at all.

Texasluvsjonny Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I got section 204, row c Will see if I can improve any in the general sale, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder how you'd ever get the front sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasluvsjonny Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 What pisses me off the most about Live Nation is if I searched for 1 ticket it keep giving me section 201, if I searched for 2, section 204 and if I searched for 3 or 4, I would get 202 or 203. Why the fuck couldn't I get 203 for 1 ticket. :angry: Fucking Live Nation, I hate those cunts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT PRE-SALE COLDPLAY TICKETS FROM TICKETRUSH (codes), WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TICKETS YOU CAN PURCHASE AT ONE TIME? PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localola86 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 ^I think is 4 seats max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder how you'd ever get the front sections. Went back this morning to see if I could better my seats, but the best available now was 20 rows behind our current seats, so I guess the presale was the way to go. I wonder where all those seats in 101,102, and 103 went? I guess radio stations got some, and maybe to folks who have season passes at the Verizon Amphitheater?
