Ziva Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I tried it on the dot, and nothing came up, so I thought something could be wrong with the site so I kept refreshing, and I was so lucky I got 1 Standing ticket :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfective Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 isn't it strange no-one got tickets. maybe the touts have found amazing new computers with super speed broadbandings with their "hard earned" cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantrem Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 busybeeburns, of course it is. At three UK venues there are, at best, 40,000 tickets available. There are a lot more people than that want to go and see them. They'll need a take-that-esque stint at Wembley Stadium to please everyone but unlike Take That, they've got an American leg of the tour to fit in somewhere.

Ronnabe Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'm surprised there are no second dates popping up. I notice the O2 arena doesn't have any shows booked for Saturday 10th...:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveintechnicolor Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I tried to get 2 standing at 9:30:05 and absolutely nothing.... went back and tried for the tiered seats and again nothing. :( I managed to get through to order 2 standing from Seetickets but I took too long filling in the form and when I got to the confirmation page it said they'd sold out - can't believe they don't hold your tickets for you at all. Just a joke :angry: Something just ain't right here surely? It's hard to believe they'd sell out that fast.... but then again this is the first big UK gig in like two years and everyone was talking about it, Radio 1 ended up advertising the gigs because one of the DJ's couldn't keep his mouth shut :rolleyes: They better add another date or I'll be quite fed up with the band tbh. It's not very fair that so many genuine fans have to loose out. Perhaps it's already a planned thing to add another show on the Saturday. It might be that they'd rather stage the two dates sales. Gotta love the o2 :rolleyes: Also I have to be honest, the price of tickets this time has left a bad taste in my mouth. On See tickets the standing tickets were nearly £70!! I mean, with the booking fee the cheapest tickets this time were £50. I got level 1 Wembley tickets for less than that! Don't know whether it's more the band to blame or the venues but it's daylight robbery in my opinion. I know the guys are massive and all but there should be some kind of limit on how much these venues should be able to charge and I don't think £70 bloody pounds is reasonable at all...

ironfist7997 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 how the hell does viagogo have so many ppl selling tickets at ridiculous prices £700+ if TM wasn't the only official retail outlet for tickets then why not post the links for all official outlets on the coldplay website grrrrrrr :veryangry2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skalor Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 *Stops lurking* Disappointed about tickets especially when I was refreshing before 9.30 Is Viagogo reliable enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenSpeirs Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 If you don't mind giving in to the touts viagogo is a great site. Standing tickets at viagogo are currently at around £110/120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehitcher Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I managed to get 2 standing tickets yesterday, and I was trying for one ticket for my friend this morning as he was working at 9:30 (i was too but nevermind). And I was there on the dot and nope, no standing available for feck sake. So i head over to viagogo and the like to see how much, £119 up for standing up to £700 :/ Somebody needs to put a stop to this "legal touting" nonsense. Ebay ok, can deal with that but ban the others! So if anyone has one standing to sell I would be very grateful if we could arrange something :) Hope everyone else got what they wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad argues it's the way the free economic market works but I think it should just be stopped. And the way viagogo and stereoboard promote themselves as a 'fan exchange'. Complete load of stinking bull. Yeah, because I'm a REAL FAN I'll go ahead and pay £600 for a ticket. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfective Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just signed it. I would seriously recommend you pass this out via email to your friends and get them to sign to. Put the link on FB / Twitter. If it reaches enough signatures then it will be pulled into parliament. No-one likes a tout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
