But you also bought a single ticket, so I think that's one of the reason you got that awesome seat. Still envious :) I hope you do come down for one of the LA shows, too.

No Thursday presale, but there is a KROQ and Live Nation presale on Friday. You have to join KROQ's Street Team to get the code for their presale. The other presale is from Live Nation and they will email you the code if you are on their list.

The Amex presale starts tomorrow. The password is the 800 customer service number on the back of your Amex card.

Well, this sucks. I just emailed ticketmaster asking if I could combine my ticketmaster gift card with my American Express card for payment for the AmEx presale and I can't. AmEx presale and AmEx VIP packages go on sale tomorrow and I was really hoping I could use both forms of payment. So now, I guess I will do the presale for the non-VIP tickets for May 1, using my AmEx, and then buy the regular VIP tickets for May 2 when they go on sale on Monday. Dang...

Just saw this on ticketmaster - Not sure what it means...

It will ask for the "code" which is just the 800 customer service number on the back of your card. Thought there is a Live Nation presale on Friday, but I never get emails from them even though I've signed up many times...

Me :) I'm thinking Amex presale for May 1, and VIP for May 2. $$$$ ouch.

No glow bands. The show was filmed back in September. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice review, but you forgot a few important performances. On October 17, Coldplay appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show for the first time in Los Angeles. Here is an excerpt of the interview as well as their two televised performances and a rehearsal video of ETIAW. [ame= ] [/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htKAYiMG-RM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htKAYiMG-RM[/ame] Chris and Jonny were interviewed by Ellen. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKELIx9LETQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKELIx9LETQ[/ame] They performed five songs, and those videos are available on youtube.

There were only 75 people in the audience, which was webcast on the Los Angeles radio station, KROQ. Roadie #42 was there. http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=825&page=60 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-fkWAnftBw&list=PL6C781E0F2ADF820D&index=2&feature=plpp_video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-fkWAnftBw&list=PL6C781E0F2ADF820D&index=2&feature=plpp_video[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EhidkpoR-w&list=PL6C781E0F2ADF820D&index=4&feature=plpp_video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EhidkpoR-w&list=PL6C781E0F2ADF820D&index=4&feature=plpp_video[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwmvA-YVj4&list=PL6C781E0F2ADF820D&index=3&feature=plpp_video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwmvA-YVj4&list=PL6C781E0F2ADF820D&index=3&feature=plpp_video[/ame] The entire show is also a podcast at the Kevin and Bean channel on iTunes. http://kroq.radio.com/2011/10/18/coldplay-is-not-too-yellow-to-answer-kevin-beans-questions-give-amazing-performance-at-the-redbull-sound-space/ The following day, October 19, Coldplay performed at Steve Jobs memorial service at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, CA. They played Yellow, Viva la Vida and Fix You. And finally, on October 21, Coldplay performed for The Today Show in Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The videos were shared on coldplay.com. http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=829&page=60 Roadie #42 summed up their insanely busy week quite nicely. http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=836&page=0

I don't see how they can do the X stage at this venue, but I'm wondering if they will somehow do the equivalent of the C Stage, like they did the acoustic set for VLV. As much as it hurts, I'm going to go for VIP for this. I've been saving up, and I got lucky and won a $250 Ticketmaster gift card when I went to the Ellen show last week. I'm thinking of trying for one night regular tickets and one night VIP. And, then, who knows...without jinxing myself, maybe I'll get lucky again and win tickets from KROQ. I won during VLV and I won again for the latest Breakfast with Coldplay they did in October. And don't forget, the AMEX presale is Jan 4. Not that that means a whole lot, but it's worth a try...

I think having Paperless Tickets would go a long way towards putting the scalpers out of business. I've been to a few shows with Paperless Tickets and it's worked out just fine.

It's his "winter beard." :nod:

Be careful when looking for seats on ticketmaster. I bought tickets to 2 shows in 2 cities (not even my own) on Monday, but kept checking to see if anything better came up. Ticketmaster BLOCKED my IP address for 24 hours because I had looked for tickets too many times without buying! I could access from my iPhone using 3g, but every computer (and my iPad) in my house was "Forbidden: You do not have permission to access this site from your server." WTF is that all about? This whole ticket buying thing is giving me a headache :( Muse did GA last time I saw them in an arena, why not other bands?

I checked a couple of ticket resellers to see what was out there...You know what I'm thinking? They might be season ticket holders to the Hollywood Bowl, who don't want their tickets, and have offered them to the resellers... Because, as we know, tickets don't go on sale until January, so how can they sell seats that haven't been on the market yet. But if you're a season ticket holder, you know what seats you have...does that make sense?

Seems the $280 is for lower row seats in the sections closest to the stage, and the $450 are for first 10 or so rows on the floor (plus the free drinks and some other perks that I don't really care about :\

I really wish they would do GA in North America like they have done for the UK/European shows. Other bands do GA so I just don't get it. Nobody sits in their seats on the floor anyway, so what's the difference? Having those folding chairs just get in the way. I'm really annoyed by this, even though I did buy floor seats for 2 shows, and not so great ones at that.

We kind of got a shout-out...:laugh3: 21.24: Our inbox at [email protected] seems to be flooded with questions asking how old Dan Green is (we suspect Coldplaying involvement...). Vicki *thinks* he's 33. But that's not gospel. (Clearly he still looks about 14.)

That's a rather awesome, if not a bit creepy, picture of Chris and Guy! He's got one watching you... :laugh3:
