TalkShowHost

mr taper-friend posted here AND on the official board looking for tix to tape the show. Next time, the next taper should be :sneaky: & *not* advertise on cp.com. ;) That said, looks like we'll get to hear the show & see it when it's shown on Much! :D

I doubt it. If they're so anal about their new album being leaked on the web...why would they allow MM to show a concert before the CD is even released? I'll believe it when I see it and if it is another dvd to be "sold"...then like I said, Coldplay have really "gauged" their fans and have sold out...at least they've become like U2 in that sense!!!! Woo-hoo! A MuchOriginal HD/5.1 Surround Exclusive - "MuchPresents: Coldplay LIVE" :D

Just starting the thread! I tried to get tickets unsuccessfully, yet I looked forward to this gig. =) Please share your reviews, tales, photos here I got the setlist from 'Matthew' on the official board. :cool: Wednesday, 11th of May, 2005 Toronto, ON Kool Haus capacity: SMALL! Square One Politik God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Speed Of Sound Warning Sign Yellow Low The Scientist 'Til Kingdom Come Clocks What If A Message In My Place Fix You

It wouldn't be the first time they're wrong. As per coldplaying.com's Speed of Sound discography AND the email Coldplay sent to fans a while back... Monday, May 23rd is the release date in the UK (Europe, too?) Tuesday, May 24th for North America.

Fan reviews are here: http://forum.coldplaying.com/viewtopic.php?t=16577 .:Coldplay: Live forum:. :cool:

Some rought draft of the setlist have shown up on the coldplay messageboard here: http://forums.coldplay.com/viewtopic.php?t=22828&sid=ec39a0791277239dddc1108e908cf00e From Microminimonz over on coldplay.com: And there are some fan reviews on there as well. Hopefully we'll hear back from some coldplayers here, too... Might take a day or 2, tho. :)

Why, the Coldplay tickets he tried to scalp earlier, of course! (I think you need to be logged in to view completed listings: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16122&item=6527643621&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW )

(I posted this on cp.com, too...) Keep on reporting the listings which violate eBay policy!! They are being removed. And many are being quite creative... Who wants a $300 inket 4X6 print of a cute puppy? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6174697747 :rolleyes: Cheers!

Hi! This is making me all 'emo' remembering last year...one of the best times of my life!! Here are some tips. Be sure to read the FAQ/Rules before going: http://coachella.com/rules/ Lucky you! Seems it'll be a bearable hot day...unlike last year! It was stupid hot!!! If you're going down from LA; try to leave before rush hour...it'll take forever to leave LA. Digital cameras ARE allowed; but not professional ones. Chances are good that you can get a recorder in. If you wanna try to "smuggle" water in, hide some water bottles at the bottom in a shirt or somethin' and a "decoy" on top. There will prob. only be the one or two water taps to refill your water, tho. IF you are planning on meeting up with people, pick a spot ahead of time. I couldn't seem to find a map on their website, but there will prob be the Virgin Records tent there or there's the water refill taps. There are thousands of people everywhere!!! It will be hard to get a cell phone signal while you're there. It WILL take you forever to get to the carpark, so do leave early on your way to the venue. Do your best to mark out the spot where your car is. Tie a ribbon to the antenna, for example. And to get 'home'... try to leave before the last act (except for Saturday, of course...in that case, just chill on the grass for a while). Otherwise you'll be spending 2 hours (no joke) waiting to EXIT the parking lot. If you can, bring a cooler full of ice and leave it in the car so you can have some cool-ish drinks when you get back to your car. If you're going with a group of friends; PICK A MEET-UP time AND place in case you get lost....cuz it's huge! And if anyone's planning on waiting at the front for Coldplay; PLEASE take sunscreen, your hat, one of those "solar blankets" (to block the sun) and foodbars and as much water as you can. I had a friend who was at the front waiting for Radiohead ALL day long and passed out, into their set, from heatstroke. HAVE FUN!!! :)

I've reported 50+ listings. If we all did this, you AND I would have a much better chance of paying closer to the Free (promo tix) to $30CDN+fees face value, rather than a 1000% markup to greedy scalpers.

PLEASE continue reporting eBay scalpers!!! Some listings have been removed, so we are having an effect!! ::WHERE & HOW TO REPORT:: eBay.ca: http://pages.ebay.ca/help/contact_inline/index.html eBay.com: http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_us/_base/index.html (this page wasn't working properly, for me) CHOOSE... 1. "Report a listing policy violation or prohibited (banned) item" 2 "Prohibited (banned) items." 3. "Tickets." ::WHY:: eBay policy: Now the ONLY loophole I've found is this: So that is why $299 is the magic number; the seller is not obligated to show a photo or scan of the ticket with the supposed $299 face value. Gimme a break! :rolleyes: ::THE LINKS/SOURCES:: http://pages.ebay.ca/help/policies/event-tickets.html http://pages.ebay.com/buyselltickets/ http://pages.ebay.com/buyselltickets/rules.html?type=seller&state=1094&inState=false http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/event-tickets.html

CONGRATS, MIKE & Mike's wife!!!! =) I don't think it's confirmed, yet. Still isn't showing sold out on the ticketmaster site. Looks like you had a good TM agent. I'm more upset about the "scalpers" on eBay. I know it's a publicity gig, but it should also be for the fans. Not Industry people who know how to kiss butt. *sigh*

You know, I really don't think TicketMaster can be blamed for tickets selling out in mere SECONDS. They CAN be blamed for their high fees. Just be careful with generalizations. Jusitne...I'm still trying. :blush: Oh, and to REPORT THESE poor people with too many tickets on their hands and who are trying to sell tix for an event in ONTARIO far beyond FACE VALUE go here: http://pages.ebay.ca/help/contact_inline/index.html choose: 1. "Report a listing policy violation or prohibited (banned) item" 2 "Prohibited (banned) items." 3. "Tickets." I'm still not sure how to let Coldplay's managment know; surely they must be aware?

eBay listing quote: "NOTE: Face value of these tickets is $83.00 (41.50 each). Any bids over $83.00 will be towards a Best Buy gift card, with a Mystery amount of credit on it, to accompany the tickets. Good luck!" BOLLOCKS!!! It's not like these people are "I have an extra ticket I need to get rid of". Pisses me off! And all that "Ontario residents" dislaimer? WRONG! "eBay.ca ticket policies are based on the LOCATION OF THE EVENT, and apply regardless of where the buyers and sellers reside." Grr! So thus far I've reported: 27!!! :sneaky: (What a way for me to return to coldplaying. :p

**EIGHTEEN! ** :angry: 6527335914, 6527429854, 6527432240, 6526694400, 6527432053, 6527424918, 6527433013, 6526542206, 6527187736, 6527046120 EDITED: + 6527437649, 6527376237, 6527394674, 6526134221, 6527379839, 6527431919, 6527434856, 6526972350 :sneaky:

Nope! Cuz I'm still trying, too! The agent on the phone said she could not tell how many tickets were sold, but it seemed like a technical prob was NOT likely.

I reported 8! (Some auctions have ALREADY ended with Buy it Now.) (Would it help if more report them? Should I post the auction #'s?) Ok, now how do we go about emailing Coldplay?

TO REPORT AN EBAY LISTING: EDIT: (proper link) http://pages.ebay.ca/help/contact_inline/index.html

I see FIVE I'm going to report RIGHT NOW! Before bidding ends! Ok, so, um how do I report it? *searches again*

:o I may have found a reason to report these jerks!!! http://pages.ebay.ca/help/policies/event-tickets.html "If you are selling tickets on eBay.ca to an entertainment event in one of the locations listed below, you may not ask for or accept bids above the amounts described below. ... Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario No more than face value" So, if I understand correct, we should REPORT these people!!!! Who's with me?

I'm looking here: eBay Canada: http://pages.ebay.ca/help/policies/event-tickets.html eBay.com : http://pages.ebay.com/buyselltickets/selling_policies.html Also, do you think we could report these eBay tix to Coldplay, too?

I was on the phone with a rep, too. Apparently ticketmaster can sell quite a few (25,000? ) tickets at once, so it's like millionth of a second or luck of the draw. *wails*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And those sellers on eBay make me SICK!!! Philadelpia, my a**!!!!!! Well, my friend said to see if I can report them. She said with Radiohead, lots of fans reported those eBay touts to w.a.s.t.e. and seems something may have happened. I'm going to read eBay's policy. I mean, those "Philly" seller tickets were listed BEFORE the tix went up for sale???!! grrrrrr.......... And I was willing to take a 2 hour flight to go. :(

And let's not forget the letters "i", "a" and "n". Thx again, guys!!! Very clean recording! I really liked EIIRP and Idiotèque (<-- always reminds me of my 1st RH concert).

What's the (approx.) date of this recording, radi0ed? "I go Where I please I walk through walls I float down the Liffey"
