April 24, 201412 yr Hopefully I have better luck this time around with ticket master! Being able to see them twice in one day would be too awesome! :D been waiting for this day since Barclays lol. And should we make shirts?
April 24, 201412 yr :D been waiting for this day since Barclays lol. And should we make shirts? I think we should. I may have to modify my Mylo shirt and make it kinda a cross tour shirt for now since this was so last minute. And then if they do a normal tour I'll try to make a whole new shirt.
April 24, 201412 yr This is like the Sony Studios show. You had to have a Citicard to get tickets. Those tickets were will call only and you had to present the card and your photo id to pick up tickets. The code is always the first 6 digits of your credit card number.

Hoping these will be will call only, but I'm not crossing my fingers because NY law requires all tickets to be transferable... :(
April 24, 201412 yr The Beacon show was announced first on Live Nation NYC's twitter. 2:00AM ET on April 17. 7 minutes before Coldplay even announced the tour on their twitter, which is usually the FIRST place you see something official from the band. Before e-mails, etc. If there is a second show, I would expect it to be posted on either of those Twitter accounts by now... Had to dig through my emails and it's down the list, but it's true about 5PM - it was in yesterday's LN NY/NJ email. On sale is April 30th at 10AM.
April 24, 201412 yr Just an fyi, look here. http://www.citiprivatepass.com It's for citicard holders only. Like at the Sony Studios LA shows. You had to have a citicard to purchase and tickets were will call only - with card and photo id. [h=1]Coldplay Location:NewYork,NY|BeaconTheatre Date:Monday,May5th,2014 Time:5:00PMET[/h]A second show has been added exclusively for Citi cardmembers! Citi cardmembers get access to purchase tickets to a very exclusive concert with Coldplay in New York City at the Beacon Theatre on Monday, May 5th. There is limited access for this very special concert that cannot be missed! Tickets available April 30th at 10:00 AM ET!
April 24, 201412 yr Hoping these will be will call only, but I'm not crossing my fingers because NY law requires all tickets to be transferable... :( Really? That's interesting. Not so in California. So no paperless tickets either?
April 24, 201412 yr Really? That's interesting. Not so in California. So no paperless tickets either? Nope... so frustrating. Brokers pass around and sell the e-tickets like crazy. Even hard tickets only would help... Lady Gaga did that at Roseland Ballroom earlier this month, all tickets either were mailed via UPS or could be left at will call. Discouraged the brokers to some degree...

I saw the Citi Private Pass thing after I posted about the Live Nation e-mail. It's curious that it says nothing about it being Citicard holders only in the LN email.
April 24, 201412 yr I don't think I can pay re-sale prices for two tickets for NY Show (after splurging on flying to LA in March) but I have fingers crossed that I can get citi tix next Wed. FINGERS CROSSED! (I swear this process is going to give me a heart attack!)
April 24, 201412 yr Ticketmaster link is up. It says delivery delay till 5PM on May 4th (24 hours before)... so hopefully that discourages scalpers...
April 24, 201412 yr I saw the Citi Private Pass thing after I posted about the Live Nation e-mail. It's curious that it says nothing about it being Citicard holders only in the LN email. Would we have seen an announcement on twitter by the band if this second show was available to the general public? Did they make an official announcement to everyone for the Citi exclusive show in LA last month?
April 24, 201412 yr I don't remember that band announced citi show in la Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
April 24, 201412 yr Ticketmaster link is up. It says delivery delay till 5PM on May 4th (24 hours before)... so hopefully that discourages scalpers... Wonder how it will work? Will call,e ticket.? If I get a ticketI I'll be driving up Monday afternoon for the show and waiting til. The day before seems really risky!
April 24, 201412 yr Why don't they make all tickets Will Call now? Wouldn't that totally prevent the whole scalper thing?
April 24, 201412 yr Why don't they make all tickets Will Call now? Wouldn't that totally prevent the whole scalper thing? They can't... NY law forces them to offer a transferrable ticket method in addition to will call. So we'll end up with e-tickets again
April 24, 201412 yr They can't... NY law forces them to offer a transferrable ticket method in addition to will call. So we'll end up with e-tickets again That's weird. Why is that even a law?
April 24, 201412 yr That's weird. Why is that even a law? Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Chalk that one up to Governor Cuomo. The idea is to give fans the ability to sell or transfer their tickets if they can't go, and when you have will call or paperless tickets, you can't do that. It has the reverse effect of encouraging scalping.

It has the reverse effect of encouraging scalping. Yeah. Scalping is definitely a bigger problem than people changing their mind about going in my opinion. Even though some things may come up unexpectedly... still. I hate scalping haha.
April 24, 201412 yr Anyway... as far as sightlines go, has anyone here been to the Beacon? I've been doing some research, and it seems like Loge is the best place to sit for the view and full sound. Not that I'm being picky... haha
April 24, 201412 yr SZA will be supporting Coldplay that night guys! Coldplay always gets interesting support acts, lol

Not that I'm being picky... haha You know I haven't but after googling some some pics of it it seems as if even the upper balcony seats will still feel involved in the show and somewhat close to the stage. On all the ticket sites it says orch center with further back rows might have somewhat of a blocked view though for some reason.

I've read also that rear orchestra past row M or so is under the overhang, so sound suffers a bit back there. Balcony and Loge really don't look bad.
April 24, 201412 yr Anyone here with a citi bank card willing to buy an extra ticket to the 5pm show? I'll pay cash in hand in NYC and I would be extremely happy :)
