November 18, 201114 yr Ack, I had major issues with the sites... Seems like all the tickets sold out already though. :(
November 18, 201114 yr I got 3 tickets! :-) Ticketmaster itself was rubbish - the tickets went on sale before 9am, and of course as soon as i refreshed and tried to buy anything it said it "couldn't match my request". Used getmein.com instead - prices are heftier, but it actually worked (and it's part of ticketmaster, so it's legit), so i recommend that! Question - what's the best time to show up for GA for good seats, as opposed to good standing positions?
November 18, 201114 yr Ticketmaster itself was rubbish - the tickets went on sale before 9am, oh that might be why :sad:
November 18, 201114 yr Check ticketfactory - they're not just selling Coventry tickets as the main site says, they're selling for all dates.
November 18, 201114 yr Got tickets. But 20 minutes for the WHOLE damn stadium to sell out is scary. :uhoh:
November 18, 201114 yr oh that might be why :sad: Yeah, poor service if you ask me :\ I spoke to a friend of my dad's yesterday, who always goes to see concerts, to ask for his advice. He said ticketmaster was always unreliable, so i'm glad he suggested another option! Seriously, everyone who got shafted, try this instead: http://www.getmein.com/ If you can afford the extra price, it was a pretty painless procedure. Of course, regardless of where you buy, i recommend sooner rather than later, because scalpers will be increasing the prices pretty quickly from now on...
November 18, 201114 yr Yeah I was here 8:45, refreshing the page...got three tickets and was paying for them but it declined my card and I don't have another one so it didn't work out, absolutely gutted. Ah well, atleast we have over 6 months time to hunt for a ticket then, eh... Lots of people will have bought them to tout, they'll esily be on ebay :heart:
November 18, 201114 yr Due to incredible demand, third London Emirates show added on June 4th Gigs&Tours http://cldp.ly/cpgandt Ticketmaster http://cldp.ly/cptickm A 1 minute ago
November 18, 201114 yr New Emirates Date - 4th June https://www.theticketfactory.com/default/online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=25FB02DD-FF9D-44AC-80B9-68E95AC4F79D
November 18, 201114 yr I would seriously avoid Getmein - I think it's a terrible idea. It's just ticketmaster trying to tour their own bloody tickets.
November 18, 201114 yr Wow, a third london date? Nice! Yeah, people should go for that. Sites like getmein are scalper sites, so it's best to buy directly, but they sell out so damn quickly!
November 18, 201114 yr Thats both original dates for London both sold out! im sure wembley wasnt last year?
November 18, 201114 yr Thats both original dates for London both sold out! im sure wembley wasnt last year? Nope. One did after a few days (the 19th), then they added a second night (the 18th) which never completely sold out. This is INSANE!
November 18, 201114 yr There must have been a huge amount of tickets available in the two presales - we got loads quite easily. I'm amazed to see people recommending getmein - it's the biggest scam going. Ticketmaster sell themselves loads of tickets and then sell them on for even bigger profits - they should be called Toutmaster. To those who didn't get tickets for the date they wanted, loads will become available I'm sure, just like Wembley. They will no doubt be sold for a premium right now, as people panic buy, but once 'the market' settles down they'll be going for around face value I should think. I was lucky to get face value for one ticket the week before Wembley. Thats both original dates for London both sold out! im sure wembley wasnt last year? I think it's the panic buying caused by the ridiculous decision not to add more 02 dates. Being very cynical, one might speculate Coldplay HQ did this deliberately to whip up hype and hysteria for the stadium shows :\
November 18, 201114 yr Being very cynical, one might speculate Coldplay HQ did this deliberately to whip up hype and hysteria for the stadium shows :\ There's an Italian saying that goes like this "A pensare male si fa peccato, ma spesso ci si azzecca", which means "It's an ill thing to think ill of people, but if you do you're very often right", I really don't blame you
November 18, 201114 yr There's an Italian saying that goes like this "A pensare male si fa peccato, ma spesso ci si azzecca", which means "It's an ill thing to think ill of people, but if you do you're very often right", I really don't blame you What a lovely language you have, it sounds quite beautiful to my ear in Italian :laugh3: All I know is that it's ridiculous that they've been playing large gigs since the summer and have (so far) announced only ONE 'proper' date in London, the touts have had a field day, and real fans have either missed out or given huge profits to the touts. And that, as a result of the 02 debacle, lots of people I know have bought way more tickets than they need for the Emirates 'just in case'. The good news is that lots of 'spares' will pop up much closer to the date, and I don't personally think there is any need for anyone to pay much more than face value for the time being :)
November 18, 201114 yr Tickets still available for London June 4, Sunderland June 7 & Manchester June 10 - the other four are now sold out http://cldp.ly/cpgandt A
November 18, 201114 yr I know it says that under 14's have to accompanied by an adult but does anyone know if there is an age limit for the standing area? Most places say under 16's are not allowed in standing.
