MartinFan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Good Luck everyone. I'm going with 6 people and were all sitting seperate :/ but who cares it's Coldplay :D I need advice though, What do you think is better a floor seat in the back or a box seat in the middle?!? :thinking: Not sure, but I think this venue is gonna be intimate no matter where we are:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone on the floor will be standing, and I think you'd have a better view from a box. Front of the floor is a different story, though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Strawberry Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hubby said it is a little bigger than people realize, as they hold their graduations there. I guess we will see. Fingers crossed for tix in the morning! He will be on another server, which is faster... hope that helps... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFDianne Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 When I graduated from UCLA, the ceremony was held in Drake Stadium, the track stadium. The stadium where the concert is being held is called Straus Stadium. There is a photo here: http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/ucla/facilities/tennis-courts2-lg.jpg "The LATC features eight lighted, hard-surface courts, a 5,800-permanent seat grandstand around the three main courts and a two-level clubhouse. At full capacity, the LATC can accommodate 10,000 spectators." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcheese2768 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 ^^^ a couple of my friends go to school there. they say it isn't that big. the performance will probably be great since most if not all of the seats will have great views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcheese2768 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 10,000 is a lot. but it looks so small... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFDianne Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 10,000 is a lot. but it looks so small... 10,000 is total capacity, I think, when they set up bleachers and seating for all 8 courts. I think 5800 is what this stadium actually holds in permanent seating. But they are setting up seating on the courts, so that increases the total seats available, too. Here is a campus map of UCLA. You can see the actual layout of the tennis center near the track stadium. This might help give a visualization what it looks like, too. http://maps.ucla.edu/campus/ Still, much smaller than Wembley ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcheese2768 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 someone had posted that only 2500 seats were going to be made available for this concert. can any verify this? thoughts/comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotcheese2768 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 haha, i'm freaking out cuz i didn't even realize the concert is only 3 weeks away. i don't have tickets yet. but NOT going isn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I graduated in 2008 from UCLA and the ceremony was in Pauley Pavilion. They gathered all of us at the track field, which is across from the tennis court. When I was at school big name bands would come play the tennis venue and I remember having a good view. It's really not that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that big. I graduated in 1988... :shocked2: And looking at the campus map, I hardly recognize the school! So much has changed! When I was there, there were only the 4 big dorms (Dykstra, Reiber, Sproul and Hedrick), and the "suites" were brand new. That was *it* for on-campus housing... Even though I live in Orange County now, I haven't been back to the campus since I graduated! I'm so excited for this show, and we only have to wait 3 weeks!!! :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep trying tomorrow and Friday. I didn't get a single "ticket available" screen for 30 minutes and I must have tried 30+ times on both computers. There are single seats available now, though, I just found one in Sec FF, Row 10, $164...Do you need more than one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason-DeBord Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Is anyone interested in having a Coldplaying get together after the concert at a restaurant or something? I lived in LA years ago... Isn't there a Jerry's Famous Deli near UCLA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFDianne Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ok, so just to let you all know...I got lucky today, but I'm going to try for better tickets tomorrow. If that happens, I will sell the 3 I got today. I'll put them out to coldplayers here first, so keep checking here to see if I got better tickets. The tickets are Sec. 2, Row 15, Seats 7-9, $164 (face plus fees). So just keep that in mind, because I'd like to see us all be able to go. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
