dansmasta Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I still *really* want to go to this, but isn't anyone else just a bit shocked at how expensive these tickets are?! I wasn't expecting them to be cheap by any means, but still :shocked2: I am shocked.. but it has made me start to think that they may well replicate what they did for the Ghost Stories TV Special. Although Chris mentioned it would be expensive to take on tour, I think it may be a surprise for the London gig to have it all set up. This may be the reason for more expensive tickets. Also I believe Coldplay will be performing in the centre of the albert hall. In the middle of the Arena space to replicate a 360 type of concert he mentioned in the Zane Lowe interview.

That's what I was thinking too. And hoping. It's going to be worth the money if that's what they're doing. Ah hell, it'll be worth it if they don't. It's easy enough to save up, who needs food and clothing and shelter anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Crieff Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I really don't know what to think. I would sell my kidney to see them so then €114 is better deal, but it's so much for a concert ugh.. Okay if they set it up like the TV special but... Also, I fear this photo ID thing means I can't even get tickets at all unless my coldplayer friends do, I can't buy them myself (no credit card and I'm at school when they go on sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubie255 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The TV Special was $4 mill to set up. If every ticket was 100, they'd still only get $500,000. If it was $300 a ticket, then they'd get $2 million. I can understand why they didn't do that. It'd kill the fans wallets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nails Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Yeah, if there's one band that could afford to do lose some money, it's them. See, these tickets are actually really cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansmasta Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Maybe they are willing to pay for most of it To be honest, I believe their stage will be set up in the centre of the Royal Albert Hall for the 360 experience. Are any of their other promo tours going to be in this set up? If not, this leads to the chance that if they do the 360 set up, it could mean going all out for their final promo concert by creating the Ghost Stories TV Special Experience. If they don't, I won't mind. Still gunna be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev72 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Where are the gallery seats? This is the view looking behind from the middle of the arena seats. These are the Gallery seats (the bits behind the seats). So the very top section of the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmark Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I know ticket prices are high but i've just read on Stubhub they are refusing to re-sell these tickets.... "Unfortunately we are unable to allow the resale or purchase of these tickets as the original buyer must attend the concert and provide photo ID." So i think the touts are going to struggle to sell tickets for this show at even more inflated prices than they already are which has got to be a good thing for genuine fans :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttamo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The $4m wasn't entirely covered by Coldplay. They were sponsored so it would have been significantly cheaper for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisna Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 But how do you think they would set up the stage in the Arena when there are tickets sold for the Arena seats? And I guess there will still be people trying to make profit from the tickets - buy two, attend the show and sell the other one. There were ebay listings like that for Cologne.

grids Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Do you guys think we can purchase the tickets on the spot? Thinking to go to royal albert hall on the day the presale starts.. Comparing to online price with additional £8ish would be too much. Face value is £85 whilst online is £93.50!? Too much man :| AH I NEED TO SAVE MY MONEY FOR ALL MY NEEDS :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much man :| AH I NEED TO SAVE MY MONEY FOR ALL MY NEEDS :( What I did for the NYC concert is, I had my friend call beforehand to see if they would sell to her right then (she lives in NYC), and they said no. I would just call ahead and ask them tbh :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause i will have an interview in the afternoon so had a quick thought if i could just stop by there before noon to get the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprilshack Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Anyone know of any cheap hotels around there? Is it a pretty safe place to wander around? I'd be coming down on my own from Merseyside & will probably look like a frightened rabbit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming from Cheshire, I go to school in Merseyside :L Your best bet would probably be a Travelodge or a Premier Inn. Check for local ones, they're only about £20 a night :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aprilshack Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 A bit of a daft question, but since this is a special show, are they only allowing you to buy tickets in pairs? Looking at Amazon & the "prize" of a pre sale code it says you can buy 2 tickets. Since if i can get down, i'll be going on my own & have no need for two tickets so that will be me out.

Nonono, you do have the option to buy a singular ticket; two tickets is the maximum amount you can buy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you have to buy a pair. I guess it's just the maximum possible amount. But if it is the rule, don't worry, there will be a lot of desperate fellow coldplayers wanting to buy the other ticket from you if you're lucky... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stayed at astor hostels in London Victoria and there is a bus just exactly in front of the hall - since Tube will be closed at 10pm and I guess Coldplay will be done beyond that time, and if you are gonna stay somewhere nearby, you might wanna take a bus or walk instead of train fyi :wink: I believe if you take a walk from hall there is a Hyde Park hostel...I dont remember which area to be exact, all the information are on the website, check astorhostels.co.uk, it's clean, cheap, and very safe! I recommend it though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
