So if you buy Argos tickets you get first dibs on Coldplay tickets? That is plain, simple bullshit. Does Coldplay know about this? It's extremely important for me to take my wife to this show and this nonsense is really making me not want to go see our favourite band...

OK, I'll say it. Just what in the hell is going on with this show. I've never seen anything like this ever before regarding different pre-sale dates. Does it mean if you're a G&M subscriber you get first dibs? That's, dare I say, completely retarded. The Globe and Mail doesn't exactly appeal to Coldplay's demographic, does it?

And 100% sued.

I've been a member here a long time, but never really posted - I didn't have anything to offer other than my love of Coldplay's music and those posts can get old fast. I do feel compelled to post now regarding pre-sales and people freaking out over companies having tickets. NO TICKETS could possibly have been issued yet as the venue isn't even confirmed. So how can a company charge $1,000 for something they don't even have for a venue that might not even be where the concert takes place? These companies are speculative and operate on the principle that they believe they will have those tickets in hand when the pre-sale starts. Nothing could be further from the truth - the playing field, at this point, is even. No one including TicketMaster or any of their evil offspring have tickets. It's like me saying I have two Coldplay tickets and putting them up on eBay, selling them, then trying to get tickets on day of release. It's a stupid move and one that will bite the lot of them in the arse as far as I am concerned.
