Does anyone know what the front row of the floor is? Cause I haven't seen anything on the market better than 6th row.

I strongly disagree - take the lowers. Otherwise you'll feel like you're not even there. Row 18 is the last row.

First of all, you won't get kicked out, worse-case scenario is MSG security will tell you to put it in a locker at Penn Station. And I've found MSG security to be really light, they don't always do a pat-down, and when they do, it's not very thorough. If they kicked out everyone with a camera it would be a royal mess. Remember, this is Coldplay - the band even encouraged camera use on their last tour!

Not going to happen. That would give them 4 shows on 4 consecutive nights, plus a border crossing.

Yeah, on some occasions you can actually find great deals. Then again, there are always some obscene prices. The prices are not set by Stubhub, they're set by the ticket sellers. The site is merely the middle man, which the seller has to pay, like eBay. Did you have a good experience with Stubhub? How much was shipping?

Hey, I've lost my MP3 of the leaked early version of Talk. Does anyone have a copy they could e-mail me? It seems to have vanished from the internet, which is too bad, I much prefer this version to the released one, I'm certain I'm not the only one. PM me, thanks!

It's reserved seating on the floor. Check out the seating plan on Ticketmaster for concert west end stage.

thinking I'll get there around 4ish...don't really need to be on the rail, and those people (read: teenyboppers) will probably be there at 9 AM.

The best spots in the house are the first 5 rows of section 202, the one in the middle. They'll probably take out the seats of the 100s and make it GA.

I'm sure you could have someone hold your spot in line while you get your tix, if the b.o. is closed in the afternoon.

If you've got nothing better to do, it's always worth a shot showing up early, hanging around the place, you never know. At Beck's club gig in NYC a few weeks back, they let a bunch of fans without tickets in to piss off the scalpers outside.

Don't know if I can go yet or not, but I picked up tickets. You know, as a precautionary measure. That lineup could play Nunavut and they'd still sell out.

Sorry, I need to vent - I think the Amphitheatre is one of the worst venues in the city, if not the world. Might be good for Jimmy Buffett, but not for Coldplay, who should be playing a world class venue like the ACC. Yes, it's outside, which is nice on certain summer nights, but....... First off, HORRIBLE sound, unless you're right in front of the soundboard, in which case it's slightly bearable. Forget it if you're in the pit. Second, there's only about 500 good seats in the house out of, what, 14,000. The very nature of the amphitheatre's design makes most of the views crap. And then there's the giant poles blocking your view. Finally, getting out takes an hour because there's only ONE EXIT, and since you're in the middle of nowhere, they can charge $20 for parking and get away with it. I'll stop there, cause I felt an essay coming on. Sorry.

I really really hope they somehow choose the ACC over the Amphitheatre (the 2nd worst venue in the city behind the Docks). But they won't, it's August, there's no way.

August? Then it's almost certain it's at Amphitheatre.

I'm gonna show up in the early afternoon, check out the situation...before 4 pm for sure. Maybe around 2 or 3. If you want to be on the rail, I guess it'll be 8 or 9 am, but I'm happy just being near the front. Oh, on parking, does anyone know a place around Kool Haus that ISN'T $10?

Here they go -

I got GAs for the 1st show through the U2.com fanclub, it was next-to-impossible any other way, from what I've heard.
