fatima_8 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 imagine the band would visit just NY/LA and that's it, everyone would complain. That's how we feel about it, if we want to go to see them we have to go to another countries and spend money we don't really have, that's why some of us complain. In my case I've been waiting for this for a long time and now we have dates, but I don't know if I'll be able to go because I'm just a student without money to spend on flights to another country (and the distances are not like in europe where is easy to go from one country to another), and if I don't go I know I won't see them for a looong time Around a million tourdates in one country and just seven in this continent, even if I'm glad they will tour latin american, still think it's unfair and it's not because there are not fans here, because they could sell out a stadium concert I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! If I want to see them this time, I will have to spend a lot of money going to another country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 good foor you, if only "how much we love the band" could take us all to the concerts concerning? they're not doing charity *sigh* When I said "listening to the concerns of their fans," I meant that the fans wanted a Latin America tour, and they added one. Perhaps they will add more dates on down the line. They did this with the US leg and the European leg. Just keep positive that they'll add more LA tour dates.

edward_kingdom Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 some people think they come to LatinAmerica as a charity act, but they don't know that sometimes we pay even more than the US/Europe people to see them  And the complain is because, being realistic, when the bands come to LatinAmerica they always visit Brasil/Argentina/Chile and since the past year Perú is a very attractive place for concerts too. But suddenly the Coldplay tour skips Chile and Perú and includes Colombia, it's quite rare considering the big amount of fans (Last (first) time in Chile with the small venues tour the tickets were between 90 and around 250 US$ and the people went to the shows anyway, even if that's a lot of money for most of us).    I totally agree with you Lore!!! And yes, Latin American People ARE COMPLAINING, they have the right to do so. We don't want them to give us tickets for free or to offer a charity concert. What CHILENOS want is COLDPLAY to open a tour date and SELL TICKETS... They're going to PAY for the tickets... we latin american people are also Coldplay fans and we do pay for the tickets and sometimes they're not cheap but... who cares? it is Coldplay, they're worth it... The problem is the companies which bring the concerts... they want more money, but that's not the point.... the point is:  EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN IF THERE'S A GOOD REASON TO DO SO Who are you to complain about complainings?

Carla Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 you guys get a concerts that you shouldn't even be getting. I mean come on, give the guys a break. They could of just started the next tour with you guys. Feel happy you are at least getting something. I mean you guys complained the whole time you didnt get any concerts, now you get some and its not enough. hahahahahahahahahahaha. can't. stop. laughing. don't you understand that they will never start a tour here? if they don't come now, they won't come back in at least some years this! what the hell? you read my mind! That. Besides, no offense, but the US get more dates than Europe does, so it's a bit unfair there too. So to those complaining about latin americans, shut up, don't be selfish and let latin americans enjoy this, complain, or whatever they feel like doing. Alexa rawks! :kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookyMnstr Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ok I shouldn't talk...since I have been to more than my share of concerts, and am very very VERY lucky that I can somehow afford to travel to see Coldplay...but being originally from Latin America and still having family over there, I can totally understand and side with the LatinAm fans in this case. They totally have a right to still complain, because two whole continents--Central&South America--getting 7shows is still not enough! I'm sure they could do 100 and still someone would say they couldn't get to them, but 7? Come on. :\ Also, people who say "just go travel to the closest country to see them," like it's no big deal, have NO IDEA the costs, and the type of economies of LatinAm countries. And the DISTANCES between countries--it's not Europe ffs.:rolleyes: When you say oh I live in X part of US and would fly to NY/LA, even if you're a student with a part-time, it's something that's doable. In Argentina, for example, 1 dollar = 3pesos apprx. but flights are charged in dollars, while jobs pay in pesos(and poorly).:dozey: So a $300 flight is actually 900pesos.:angry:  I'm sorry I'm probably not explaining myself well. But it's frustrating for me to see people complaining about Latin Americans voicing their concerns and frustrations with lack of tour dates and expenses, when they have no idea what it is really like. And to think that people in Latin Am are not as big fans of Coldplay as anyone else, it's actually backwards, 'cause I think fans from countries that don't get to see big bands often(or at all) are actually even more passionate about them, and appreciate that ONE opportunity they might have to see their favorite band so much more that maybe someone who can just drive half hr and see that band multiple times in one year.[\rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 It is clear that most foregin people don't understand: -The 3 biggest cities in Latin America (Sao Paolo with 20 million, Mexico city with 20 and Buenos Aires with 13) together have more population than most of european countries excluding France, England Germany, Russia and Turkey. Mexico itself it's more crowded than all European countries except Russia. -It's not a free concert, people are going to pay for the ticket, even if our currencies and salaries are lower and our economy weaker, people are willing to pay for the tickets and are able to do so, some with a lot of effort but they are going to pay.IN fact, in Mexico Madonna sold her 100 000 tickets quickly, Radiohead sold their 100 000 tickets very fast too, and Metallica had to do a 3rd gig in the shitty 50 000 stadium. Certainly crisis has affected a lot, but we are not that fucked off. - Europeans have it easy to travel frmo country to country, just hope in one of those fast electric train whose name I don't remember, and get almost everywhere in less than 12 hours. But how can someone from Santiago go to Buenos Aires by car or train? It's impossible, unless you are as crazy as Martà and take a one month trip to cross the Andes. And planes may be at the same price almost everywhere, but we latinamericans don't have the same economic chances as northamericans and europeans. - And, the most important, everyone is free to complain and say what they want, so as long as this doesn't damages you shut up [/rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasluvsjonny Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Everyone has the right to their own opinion and this is mine. I am tired of seeing people on here point the finger at other places and complain about shows they got. WTF is that all about. For every country/city that got a show I am absolutely thrilled shitless for you. To everyone that didn't get a show, I feel really bad for you. I would never say it's unfair that one place got X number of shows and this other place got zero! Boo Coldplay and that place! I say hooray for them, have a great time, sing and dance your ass off and I hope the other peeps get a show soon, or the fans there can find a way to get to a show somewhere near them. Sometimes I just feel like all the people think the US should feel bad because we got shows and this place didn't and I don't see why people just can't be happy for the people that did get concerts.  I wish they could play every single place on Earth, but we all know it's not going to happen. I am not privy to what goes on with the bookings and can't say if any of where they play is controlled by promoters and what venues they are allowed to use. I know in the US Live Nation has way too much control on issues like this. Is it fair to fans, oh hell no! But that's the way it is, so we all have to eat it. To everyone that didn't get a show announced, I have my fingers crossed for you. To everyone that did get a show announced, good luck with getting a ticket and have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imke Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 It's not complaining that they GOT concerts. I would never do that, I'm happy for every fan who gets the chance to see them. I'm very happy that Coldplay came to Germany seven times this tour (4 concerts in 2008 and another 3 in 2009). Now seeing that a whole continent gets as many concerts as one country seems just a little unfair to me. I'm probably not able to see the whole picture though, none of us is ... still to me it just doesn't seem right. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Mona Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 When it comes down to it... bands just dont tour 3rd world countries. And no need to be all jealous that the US and Canada and Europe got a lot more shows... it's just common sense. Its the way it has always been. We are richer, better off countries so naturally entertainment is going to be better there and preform more there. Its where the money is at and I know i sound like some crazy Imperialist. But its the honest real world truth. You all got your tour... and now i see more complaining... a bit ungrateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
