localola86 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Just spoke to livenation...there IS a pit for this show definitely..all tickets are sold out for them. She couldnt tell me how they were sold out, etc. How annoying. I wish I knew the secret to ticket brokers and how they get their hands on them. THIS IS WHAT ANNOYS THE HECK OUT OF ME! HOW CAN THEY BE SOLD OUT IF THEY NEVER OFFERED THEM ON THE WEBSITE!? Oh, and the woman couldn't tell you cuz she's dumb like that. Seriously, this girl on the "Tickets: availability, price, etc." wrote yesterday that she got Ticketmaster to upgrade her seats at no charge. She says the first 2 times she talked to women, and the third time to a guy, and the customer service guy was the one who solved her problem. Yeah, 100% sure that brokers have these. What happens is that the venue (well, the seating area) is small in itself Therefore, the pit venue is small so there must be a certain amount of tickets available.

localola86 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yup, not even sections 1 , 2, and 3.. Those sections as well, which make up the "Orchestra" section. The best I got was Section 7 in Tampa, which right behing Section 3 in the orchestra. Sure, this Sec 3 only has 10 rows, so I'm technically on Row 17, BUT still, I would have prefered a General Admission PIT ticket, I don't care if I had to stand in line for hours the day of the concert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localola86 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Sorry for so much ranting :( Anywho, I filled out the application to volunteer with Oxfam, from whom I won't get a notification 3 weeks before the concert. I hope they pick me :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technicolor_love78 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What upsets me is that is CLEAR that there IS a Pit, but LiveNation did not made them available to the public at all. I'm talking about this concert, and the Tampa concert WTF!!!???? yeah, that's what I meant. it seems like the other venues had easier access for fans to get PIT tickets. but as for Florida, they were "available," but we fans never saw them during presale or the GA sale :(:angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

localola86 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 LiveNation replied to my email (see below) Subject Coldplay, May 15, 2009. Cruzan Amphitheater, West Palm Beach, FL Customer03/23/2009 12:33 PM [this is me] Why GA Pit tickets were not made available for this concert? The click-and-pick seating chart clearly shows that there will be a GA Pit, yet I came here at 10am sharp today to buy a Pit ticket. The "GA Pit" was not even an option. Other fans were able to get GA Pit tickets for Coldplay concerts in other venues last week and today, as long as they bought early around 10am. What happened? Is Live Nation auctioning these tickets or what? Response (Devynn)03/25/2009 09:46 AM Dear Patron, Thank you for contacting Live Nation Customer Care with your inquiry! Pit tickets were available on 3/23 at 10:00am with the rest of the tickets. I am sorry if they had all been purchased when you attempted your sale. Unfortunately, this was avery popular event and all the Pit tickets sold very quickly. Please respond to this e-mail if we can be of further assistance regarding this or any other inquiry. Sincerely, Devynn Live Nation Customer Care "The tickets were available at 10am." Yeah, right :rolleyes: Goodnes gracious, that actually made me laugh. I think scalpers grabbed them, and others were given to the radio station, season ticket holders, or Live Nation VIP members. THIS TRULY SUX!

I'm speaking for everyone who was in front of his/her computer before 10am, and got to clicking as soon as the clock hit 10am! They lie like this because they know we can't prove otherwise...Thanks for sharing this though. It's nice to see that LiveNation not only rips off the customer with dishonesty, but also does it with a friendly tone! I've just filled out an application for Oxfam, though. Very cool, but I realized I might have a hard time getting selected, seeing as I live 2 hours away from West Palm :\ We'll see... I hope everyone is satisfied with what they got. I got notice yesterday my ticket was in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst-case scenario, I'll show up there, buy a lawn ticket early, and then beg a roadie to give an upgrade ticket :cry: (and I know some of these people's names and how they look like, they cannot hide from me :P) EDIT: good luck, JustSpies with Oxfam appl!

Maybe you will be selected to be an Oxfam volunteer at the concert, so keep an eye on your e-mail and regular mailbox. ;) And even if the pit tickets were sold, how come there are no GA Pit tickets selling on eBay? Why are there tickets selling in 'rip-off' sites in sections 1,2, and 3, if there is a pit!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGA-OMG! :angry: I hope Oxfam selects me :) Maybe there's few of us applying because people have no clue about this Oxfam volunteering opportunity :P I was checked earlier about Pit tickets on scalpers sites. I saw an offer on eBay for 4 Pit tix in Tampa for around $1500 (no joke), and pit tix for West Palm at $325 each. Crazy crappy stuff, and who knows if you'll get them? :thinking: Good thing is that there are tons of people selling tickets on ebay, but only one offer had 5 bids on it. Perhaps people are not falling for this crap of tickets at waaaaay inflated prices for the FL concerts :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! We'll wait and see, I guess. I'm holding on to my ticket until I get word. I'd much rather volunteer though! The lot of those pit tickets were not on sale at 10:00am Friday or Monday, I don't care what LiveNation says. That we see a handful of them on these scalper sites for more than the maximum $130 price LiveNation put on the ticket proves this. And I love Coldplay to pieces, but I cannot pay $300+ for a concert ticket :( The most I've ever paid was about $200, and it was for a once-in-a-lifetime show that I never thought would happen, lol. Maybe someday Coldplay will like my idea of the smaller venue B-sides tour, and then I'll finally be able to rock out to them front row center like I've always wanted. Someday! Either way, Coldplay two times this summer is a big deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndiFO Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Man I really want to go to this concert but my friend who I normally go to concerts with says she's broke and doesn't want to pay for this one. :( Does anyone live around the Tampa Bay area and hasn't bought a ticket yet or has no one else to go with either? I'd love to find a fellow Coldplay fan like who would like to make the trip down to see them. I'm thinking of, if anything, just driving down there on May 15th and seeing if I can get some last minute opennings at the box office. My cousin did that once before and I did that when I went to see Muse/MCR here. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSpies84 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'll definitely be heading out to this show, if a road trip is easier for some of you, then we could totally go that route :) This show will probably my favorite, because PETE YORN is opening!! I love him; he's one my favorite songwriters, and he's gonna be opening a few of the shows, including this one! I cannot believe this– it makes up for missing Richard Ashcroft by a single day (and getting Fiona Apple instead) during the Twisted Logic tour. Woohoo! Who else is excited?!

Over-protective family here, and considering the first time I drove out of Tampa on my own was for the Orlando concert last November, she still has some getting used to.
