I arrived during the second opening and I was too busy stuffing my mouth with food but what I did hear provided a nice soundtrack for eating... edit: love this one martiansf, like a mini music video of my fav part that night [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIMLuMRVNfs]YouTube - Coldplay Live - Shoreline 07/13/2009 - Death And All His Friends[/ame]

danke for all the vid clips, especially the billie jean one, that one had my fav line of the night and the audio recording would be totally appreciated...cementaries of london would be nice to hear live again still uploading the few video clips I taped...

Man if there was anyway to describe tonight, it wouldn't be too far from an outdoor house party. Seriously most of all the little kids, couples, and friends I saw were in good spirits just enjoying the music, whether under the influence or not. And maybe since it's summer, it was like going to a baseball game. The fooood did help though, lemonade, Ben & Jerry's, kettle corn, garlic fries, cotton candy, I could go on but I'll stop here. All the same, very nice vibe from the crowd tonight. My seat was in the 101 section so the ramp was smack dab in front of me. This time, I was able to feel the butterfly rain, get hit by the yellow balloons, and get a glow stick that Chris threw. I definitely had to watch my head tonight, lol. Very worth it all though. I second the Billie Jean request, sounded awesome live. I believe they did a version of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay on the C-stage as well... I'm glad I went to see Coldplay in concert again, cause this time around the album was saturated more and the live instruments brought out sounds and melodies you just don't fully get from the cd. While I did notice that sometimes the crowd wasn't fully into the concert by means of dancing or other "physical output", it was only a few times. The interest was still there, it was just a laid back energy. Favorite banter: "I don't mean to sound like a schoolteacher...but, that's just the way it's going to be." - Chris *along the lines of* I have a lack of pictures and videos, though I did manage to get screen footage of God Put A Smile Upon Your Face and snippets of a roadie breakdancing to Jay-Z before the concert began. just a nice nice nice way to spend a summer monday night :)

i have a friend who will be in the 202 section, a bit away from you being in the front of sec 200 should be a nice view for you :) couple more hours to go...all i'm thinking of is...Garlic Fries!....and coldplay

It's about 2.1 miles away from Shoreline, I wouldn't say it's walkable. Though the Mountain View CalTrain does have a free Shoreline Shuttle that will get you to the venue. http://www.caltrain.com/shuttles_sc.html *shuttle map and time here* It only runs so late so you will most likely have to get a cab to take you back. There should be cabs around after the concert if not here's a number you can call: Mountain View Yellow Cab (650) 254-1234 happy travels :)

I understand the disappointment and that's exactly what it is, not extreme anger. :) Especially when it was stated in an interview. For whatever reasons we won't know for sure, that did not come to pass. So I wouldn't necessarily be quick to say that the boys were 'lazy' on their part. After all we don't know what business dealings, contracts, technical aspects, personal preferences they have. Again that does not belittle anyone's feelings or thoughts of being disappointed with a fixed setlist and desiring to hear more of their other songs. I would love to see some variation in their setlist too. Still I know that I will enjoy my concert regardless. Just like others who have expressed in this thread, disappointed yes but still going to enjoy their shows. ;)

I would definitely check Craigslist San Francisco before Ebay as there have been some good prices for pairs in the lower sections and upper sections. They keep popping up each week. And there's always the day of the concert, people who can't make it but have some awesome seats to spare. Good Luck! ;) http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/tix?query=coldplay&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max

Shoreline is pretty strict about moving closer and with cameras too as I experienced everytime I went. I think they just want to have control over the crowd so nothing gets out of hand. If you're walking down the aisle, you will be seen. I went for closer seats as my vision is lacking so at least I will see more than blurs on the stage. As for reselling tickets, it's pretty easy, you can either meet the person at an starbucks, etc or do it through paypal and ship. It just depends if being closer to the stage is a priority for you or not. It looks like the good seats are still available and I last checked at 7:05 pm

Hi, This is for the Shoreline Show in Mountain View, Ca on 7/13. Selling 2 hard tickets for face value. They are separate from each other. Going for $124 total each with free shipping. Payment would be through Paypal. If you're interested, just pm me. tix 1: SEC 202, Row D, Seat 29 tix 2: SEC 101, Row S, Seat 16 Thanks : )

hurry over to livenation, and you can grab some very nice singles : ) can grab a pair or 4 tixs in row d in 101 or a single in row b...still available...as of 5:51 pm

I absolutely love both bands equally...and love that they are friends. I agree about the question regarding the shower....that's the only thing that threw me off! Then hearing the w-word it didn't spark anything with me since I know both bands are friends. Bono himself has said he has a big mouth...gets him in trouble at times. lol The only issue with the host was using that word on radio, she was trying to prevent any complaints with the station. Radio wants to make sure they don't get slapped with lawsuits. To me the word Bono used is not a swear word as much as other 4 letter words. The host said "h*ll" so it definitely seems like a contradiction. Honestly the whole thing makes me laugh. Friends kid each other around, and when it gets on national broadcast, it's up for interpretation and judgement. But I guess they're used to that. But really though the shower question...:confused:

my ticket just came in the mail today, that was fast, they changed the format of the ticket a little, it's way bigger...maybe so we don't lose it so easily...lol

With a few exceptions I saw seats in the last fews rows of the 100 section, they were priced around 500 each. But it still looks like broker sites did not even get good seats. One thing that slipped my mind, if Oxfam tours with Coldplay again it would be great for those who weren't able to get tickets. You'd be volunteering for a great cause and would get a free ticket to the concert. Of course seating varies, but it has got to be better than lawn seats, and even if it's lawn seats, it would still be free. I plan to volunteer this time around, have been wanting to for years. I've done similar outreach programs at other concerts, and it's always been a blast.

it is strange. as of now, there are still seats in the 7th row & beyond for single ticket dwellers, the closest rows are in sec 202 & 204. The system must have delayed in its setup, releasing the 200's and the other seating map later. The great thing about Shoreline, is that there's a great view in the 100s and 200s and the lawn too. I wouldn't recommend the lawn for people who have to take a break for whatever needs you have (food,restroom,etc.) since it's first-come-first serve, you better hope that someone's watching your spot. Me, I like my reserved space, even what little it is. Hope people get some decent seats. :)

I would do that if you can, on this site, bestinthehousetickets.com, they have decent prices for their 200 section, at least you will be guaranteed seats. In no way am I advertising scaplers (well in a lil way) but if it helps people like you guys, it's a good site to head to. I have bought tixs from them before. One time I purchased a pair for the Bridge Benefit Show @ Shoreline, but I put the tickets under my friend's name, ended up going with someone else, so the ticketbooth people wouldn't let me in, so I called their number they left me, they answered right away and solved it in a jiffy. So there's customer service on top of that. On another related note, I looked on Craigslist to see the prices for tixs, and came across this 2001 Filmore poster, anyone who's been and likes the poster might find it of interest. I would get it but the picture slightly scares me, Chucky, anyone? oddtoes.com-coldplay-2001-filmore-poster

It looks like you're right, i's only lawn seats left from when I go in....wow those went fast, maybe since the presale password could pretty much be found anywhere, so yesterday was like the 'general sale'...bums for people who didn't get any yesterday :\

It still looks like tickets for this show will be thru LiveNation only as I see don't see anything on TicketMaster, and the TicketRush website still redirects to the LiveNation site. You can still always leave a window open for TM just in case. I went to the lnk above^^ and noticed only the lawn seats but it also doesn't give you the option to buy anything so I think it's leftovers from the presale, they didn't release everything. If you go to the actual Shoreline Coldplay page, you should see the big yellow button saying "Buy Tickets" when it hits 10am as I tested out on other shows that went on general sale earlier today. I also noticed that besides the normal 'Search by Best Available' feature, they have a 'Click and Pick™ Seating Map' which allows you to see a virtual seating map of all the available seats in the venue and the abiliity to hand pick each one. It does run a bit slow, so the other option might pop up faster with the best available seat. You should try it out on the Mansfield show if you have time real quick to see what I'm talking about. They might have this feature for our show.

here's a chart with the numbers:

I had a couple of chances at seats in the 100 section but they were row Q, P, S...they didn't appeal to me since i might as well be in the front rows of the 200 section, easier to see the show. Its reverse psychology in a way for me. :D The highest price goes for the 100 and 200 sections, my single ticket came out to $125 with fees and all. Here's my fav seating chart cause the colors are just nicer and you can see where the numbered seats start:

Everyone has their own preference, so that is understandable. I've seen John Mayer, Prince, Kanye West, Beck, etc. before...And from experience I've noticed that for more elaborate sets, a tighter setlist and show cues are needed to make it work without glitches. So when any one of these artists including Coldplay have simple staging, I seem to notice more freedom and variety of songs choices. So with that said, I also noticed that many venues they didn't choose on the last tour they chose this time around would not accommodate such elaborate stage settings, so maybe you're in for a change this time. :) For me, if they're playing the same songs over and over, it's still doesn't faze me as the passion & energy are still there, that's what matters most to me.

It's funny huh, I've been spoiled with seats in the front 100's. I ended up buying a single tix in row 202, Row D, since it came up 5 times, lol. I'm still going to try for closer seats 2morrow, since I can always sell this tix @ face value. If not I'm still satisfied as the middle section is easy on the neck & eyes in the 200's. I'm also wondering if they plan on having the same stage setup since in all my times at Shoreline, I haven't seen any artists have a second stage or extend the main stage, it would be hard with the venue, everything's stationary in a good way. Altough I'm hope I wrong on that front. If anyone wants to see the 3D view of their seat(s), here's the link to the venue website: 3D Seating Chart

still giving me 200's but at least it's still the first 12 rows of that section, i did get 1 tix in sec 101 Row Q, closest I got, but figured I could do about the same in the sale 2morrow sec 202, row c came to me 3 times, man i'm such a snob : )

yeah it ended kicking me off since i'm sure it's pretty busy, so it's taking a while to get back on...no worries though

still waiting in line for tickets....being half asleep helps being zen :)
