November 16, 201510 yr Author Didn't manage to get one either :( anyway, if someone needs a +1 and wants a ride from the North: Let me know, I'm in ;)
November 16, 201510 yr guys..i tried in every possible way . i switched on all my devices(2 computer and 2 smartphone) at 6:30 am... I tried so hard...and as usual (as royal albert hall)...no tickets.. i'm so so sad.. if any of you has a spare ticket..please. I will not pay a thousand pound on viagogo...
November 16, 201510 yr Again, i demand a coldplaying pre-sale for such events. Just 20 tickets or so. :D
November 16, 201510 yr That seemed insane. I was in the queue at 19:43 and still no dice. And it was letting me put them in my basket but I wasn't able to checkout. Oh dear.
November 16, 201510 yr Didn't get tickets either... :( So disappointed. If anyone has a spare ticket, please let me know I would be so so so grateful!! I'll pay a good price.
November 16, 201510 yr Accessed a few seconds before 7:45 and without tickets. If everyone has a spare, I would be soo glad :)
November 16, 201510 yr Didn't get one. Obviously absolutely gutted, especially as the show's close to my Birthday. Sat there with a laptop, my tablet, my phone and my Brother used his tablet too but had no luck. Congratulations to those who got a ticket, have the time of your lives :) x
November 16, 201510 yr I really hope that every single person that got a ticket is a genuine Coldplay fan, as naïve as that sounds x
November 16, 201510 yr Didn't get tickets either... :( So disappointed. If anyone has a spare ticket, please let me know. I'll pay a good price. Keep trying the tickets website. Some more will pop up shortly after (or even weeks after). It's not guaranteed but it's worked for some people before. I wouldn't suggest paying over face value for them because 1) The seller needs to be present or 2) You'll have to go with the seller who's made a profit out of the tickets. I'd also be wary if someone who hasn't really posted on here before private messages you because i'm sure there's some touts who would check on here and try to make money from disappointed fans.
November 16, 201510 yr I'm sure BBCR1 will have a few pairs of tickets to give away as we get closer to the show, so don't lose hope!
November 16, 201510 yr Maybe about 20 seconds before 7:45. My phone came up with the ticket link and then tried the link with my laptop too and both got in after 10 seconds. Sparky - I for one wouldnt mind knowing what setup you had to acheive the impossible - android phone? apple? polling app? I had 4+ devices going, us all polling madly on different connections from 7.40 onwards and got nada - same as others here, in the basket, but cannot buy em. So just a mean taunt. A heads up to keep in mind for the next time appreciated Sparks. So again Ive tried and failed, same as the albert hall, just bitter disappointment for me and the kids. This band is crazily hard to see! Ive never managed to see them. To me they are like the modern day beatles in the mid sixties - a rare few concerts, then hidden away, never to be seen live unless you are in the right place at the right time. The irony here is that I used to work with one of the band members brothers back when they were starting out! They were good then, better now. ON the plus side, I am very glad to see at least a few fans on the forum got tickets (maybe a lot of them hopefully). That is REALLY COOL. What was uncool was to see Viagogo post 10K for 1 ticket within 2 minutes of them being on sale......!
November 16, 201510 yr I'm sure BBCR1 will have a few pairs of tickets to give away as we get closer to the show, so don't lose hope! Oh I definitely think there will be competitions during the week before to win pairs of tickets. It would be so unlike Radio 1 not to!

Thanks Sparky! :) I'll keep trying. You did so well to get tickets! Literally must have been down to those who clicked first and the milliseconds in between all those clicks must have made the difference. I can't believe how much the tickets are now going for on places like Viagogo, it's ridiculous. How do they even get tickets? :(
November 16, 201510 yr Don't know if anyone's seen this yet, but.... (I mean, I guess we already know this...)

What was uncool was to see Viagogo post 10K for 1 ticket within 2 minutes of them being on sale......! Nothing I didn't really do before. I had an extra smartphone and laptop ready but didn't even use them. I could maybe say it's IP related but got in straight away with my phone's and house internet, so i'm really not sure. I was in the same situation last year and couldn't get any no matter what so maybe it's just luck. Your not alone though. Mostly everyone will be watching/listening online and besides, very soon everyone will be able to go when the stadium shows happen :)
November 16, 201510 yr Keep trying the tickets website. Some more will pop up shortly after (or even weeks after). It's not guaranteed but it's worked for some people before. THIS! There is no guarantee it will work for this gig but for the cologne show last year a bunch of people, including me, got the tickets just a day before the event. Obviously it's a different show and we had very different circumstances last year but still, don't give up!
November 16, 201510 yr There are professional full time touters at Viagogo, they'll have a proven set up / process that works every time, just how things are unfortunately :( The ridiculously expensive tickets will be cancelled i'd imagine, just like RAH. The photo ID makes it much harder for them. I bet most won't turn up for the gig so it would be invalid anyway.
November 16, 201510 yr Aaaaand so the madness begins… :angry: http://www.viagogo.co.uk/Concert-Tickets/Alternative-and-Indie/Coldplay-Tickets/E-1347463
