Surely Coldplay know what's going on with all these ticket agencies ripping fans off!!!!

I was just hoping that they had scrapped the idea of all seater shows in Europe as it surely makes for a better atmosphere.

Looking at some of the pictures and also at a video on you tube the floor section seemed to be standing,is this right and if so how come when all the other shows are all seating.

I would think that as the tour progresses that we will see roughly the same setlist with maybe the odd song being shelved and one or two added,I just hope that they add Talk,white shadows and Amsterdam. U2 Started their last tour with virtually the whole of the HTDAAB album but as the tour went on less and less of it was played,although I can't see Coldplay doing that.

What really bothers me in all of this is as somebody stated just how much the touts and tickets agencies are going to make out of this,I had a lot of trouble getting my ticket for the Manchester 11th show thanks to ticketmasters awful on-line booking system and ended up with a seat quite a way back on the floor section,so I thought about another ticket for the Liverpool show which I then purchased on ebay for £38 and this was the front section on the floor,the seller must have realised how much he or she had lost on this and decided to somehow get their ebay account cancelled which left me with no ticket and an apologetic email from them telling how they'd have to re-sell them elsewhere.So if Coldplay are reading this, PLEASE NEXT TIME YOU TOUR PLEASE HAVE A PRE-SALE AND MAKE IT STANDING IN THE FLOOR SECTION SO THEN MAYBE GENUINE FANS WILL GET A CHANCE TO SEE THEIR FAVOURITE BAND........OH AND THREATEN TO TAKE EBAY AND THOSE THIEVING TICKET AGENCIES BASTARDS TO COURT IF THEY CHARGE EVEN A PENNY OR CENT OVER THE FACE VALUE OF A TICKET.

If anybody has a spare for Liverpool or Manchester I would be eternally grateful If so Please PM me Thank you

I'm absolutely gutted,the ticket I bought from ebay has been cancelled due to the sellers paypal account being stopped,i think it's somewhat dubious as i got the ticket for less than face value. So if anyone has a spare for Liverpool 10th or Manchester on the 12th please could they PM me I can only pay face value though Thank you

Just got my ticket,if I had them smiley things this message would covered in them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was having a quick look at the Liverpool arena site and came across the"seat map" as they call it it looks quite interesting as the band will have two walkways either side of the stage which go right out into the crowd,and there seems to be quite a large gap in the middle of the floor so we could possibly get an acoustic bit somewhere in the show. It all looks pretty good anyway

I saw Keane at the Manchester Apollo and at the m.e.n arena and both gigs where brilliant,the atmosphere at both shows was up there with any gig I've seen.

I have just checked the ticketmaster ticket checker thingy and it says my order is being prepared for dispatch,so maybe we will get our tickets quite quickly!

Yes it's cheap but I'm not being too smug as I haven't received the ticket yet.

I couldn't agree more I think the atmosphere will suffer at an all seating show. Another point is I think the band is playing into the hands of the ticket touts and agencies by making the shows all seating there is less tickets so the thieving bastards will charge more,depriving proper fans maybe seeing coldplay for the first time

I've just got a ticket in block A row R off e-bay for the rather nice price of £38,so I'm very pleased.

I've just looked on ticketmaster's site at the purchase summary and it came up like this Event Coldplay M.E.N. Arena Manchester, Manchester, 11/12/08 - 19:30 Section Row Type Ticket Price Service Charge Description BL H K A:STAN £42.50 £6.50 I wonder what the A:Stan thingy means under the type heading

What about a b-side,I would love to hear Bigger stronger ,1.36 or High speed.

I'm just hoping for a really good varied set-list,and hopefully a show lasting 2 hours.

I will just have to put up with having a seat because at least I will get to see Coldplay,what bothers me is that there is obviously going to be less tickets and from what i have seen as I've looked for tickets for the Liverpool show ticket agencies have bought loads of them and are now charging extortionate prices for them.

I'm still trying to get one for this show but it's looks to no avail

I'm right at the back in block H,how i wish i was standing but never mind I'm sure the show will be brilliant.

Okay everything but the O2!!!!!!

I was ready to book tickets for the Liverpool and second Manchester shows,now I'm having to think about maybe going to just one,I hate sitting at concerts and find it hard to believe that coldplay are going ahead with this. Here's a link to ticketline which has a seating chart for all the UK shows http://www.ticketline.co.uk/news/details/coldplay

I can't see it I'm going to see the bunnymen there in November and it's standing,so i would very surprised if it' s seating when all the other arena shows they've played in the Uk over the years have had standing.

I'm hoping for a Beatles cover or a few snippets of their songs.

I'm hoping to get tickets for this show and the 2nd Manchester one,I've never been to a show at the new arena yet but I'm going there to see Echo and the bunnymen in November.I think it holds about 9000 so it's not quite as big the m.e.n
