BuckinParadise Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 There was a documentary on I think ch4? about the secondary ticket market with viagogo that would make your blood boil showing how they get so many tix. heard of documentary today from a UK Coldplayer friend on Facebook. I did not watch it yet. ...MAFIA !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz1853 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yeah, I saw someone post it on Coldplay's Facebook comments earlier, haven't watched it yet, it was from 2012 I think but nothing has changed, for sure. No, there was one maybe 2 weeks ago or even last week about it. Named tickets were said to make it better, but even then people were listing tickets that didn't exist. Likely some on viagogo don't exist too! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayurshikotra Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Don't the small letters on the floor indicate the blocks? Which would mean that your "A" belongs to Blocks A and F... maybe? :) If their backs are supposed to be towards the original stage, it would mean that they face into the direction of your "C", doesn't it? But then the piano should be more towards your "D" if it stands on its usual spot. Sorry I still find it a bit confusing... so have you got arena seats block F? EDIT...just noticed what you mean! i genuinely dont know how they are going to set this up! they should post a clear image! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aprilshack Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't viagogo employees with the tix rather than members of the public selling them.Watch that documentary and you'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev72 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I had a quick look on Viagogo last night, saw a seat in my block, same row (Circle, Block V, Row 1) for £1,000. Could get interesting :P Edit, it was Seatwave, and the seat is gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayurshikotra Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 i think we should take pictures of the people we think are touts, post them here so when they leave the coldplayers who are outside can protest around them :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCF Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Still hoping for tickets to be on sale in the next days/weeks but there's a difference between London and Paris... G&T uses the words "SOLD OUT" while Livenation just said that tickets werent on sale anymore. Dont know if that makes the difference or not...

This will have to do :P Saying that, I am front row of the circle, probably best not to risk getting thrown off it :embarrassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aprilshack Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 That documentary was unbelievable! I'm no fan of take that but that stack of tickets that went to waste! Because they had made more than they thought they would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danceteacher Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I hope no Viagogo tickets sell so then I can go up to the person sitting next to an empty seat and murder him/her. The seats may not necessarily be next to each other, so you may murder an innocent ;). Is there any way to see the actual seat numbers in the viagogo/seatwave tickets? Then we could note them down and all those of you who got tickets can go and ... expose the touts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arschpoeler Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 so have you got arena seats block F? EDIT...just noticed what you mean! i genuinely dont know how they are going to set this up! they should post a clear image! Yeah sorry for the confusion, it was a bit difficult to explain what I meant... ;) Anyway, my ticket is in block F but I'm still not sure which way the band will be facing.

Funnily enough I had an issue trying to get tickets for that show, the exact one they were on about at the stadium of light! It does make you wonder just how many they got for these shows and how many actually went on general sale to fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For shows you only need to look on Get me in etc, sometimes before or seconds after they go on sale.It's legal scalping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
