ARoBttH14 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Something's just occurred to me. On the subject of standing, you can clearly see on the SeeTickets website, they are selling "Arena tickets". (Look here: http://www.seetickets.com/event/coldplay/royal-albert-hall/785800) I went on to the Albert Hall website to have a quick look at the layout, and low-and-behold, the arena is smack bang in the centre of the place (where people would usually stand: http://www.royalalberthall.com/visit/seating-plan/default.aspx) SO. Sorry to bring up a topic that has already been disputed, and I know Chris said they wanted to play in the round, but surely with such a small tour, they're gonna want to maximise profits and that includes having a standing area and not taking the place up themselves! I'll say again: sorry for bringing this up again! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisna Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 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 :) Why do you think the tube will be closed at 10pm? I checked the times and the tube usually runs until about midnight.

aprilshack Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Have we all pre-made our SeeTickets accounts yet? Last time i booked through see tickets you couldn't make an account? I also heard you could use Paypal with them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I edited my post :lol: But yeah, you can make an account now. Not sure about the PayPal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Why do you think the tube will be closed at 10pm? I checked the times and the tube usually runs until about midnight. Cause last time I watched James Blunt there and the station that is nearby was South Kensington -- apparently the station opens from 7am to 10pm.. That was the last time I saw it there. Maybe some tube stations open some closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARoBttH14 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Sure, but it's not going to be a standing area. Gigs and Tours clearly says "Arena seats". Hopefully it's a mistake. If they're gonna open the arena they may as well not bother with the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coldplay messanger link for general sale is for gigsandtours, so I thought seetickets only does the pre-sale for Amazon customers and gigsandtours does the general sale. Or are they both doing the general sale?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know which site works better? After seeing the troubles with Paris tickets... I hope the London sale will be better managed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
