what a great night! definitely the best coldplay concert i've been to crowd-wise (my third show) unfortunately due to my friend being really hungry, we had to go and get food which meant I was unable to secure my place during jason mraz. we were about 15 rows from the stage and it was quite hard for me to see since i'm short =( but the crowd was awesome! lots of singing along during many of the songs (oh-ohs a la viva la vida), great turn out, loved the billie jean singing and their little song about the fireworks and Quebec and all that other jazz haha. Sad that they didn't play glass of water but the show was so much fun it didn't bother me too much. i just wish it didn't have to end...

another question! have you guys all gotten your tickets already? osheaga tickets dont...sell out do they? i was thinking of just buying them when i get there since i'm from out of town, but if they might get sold out, i'll get them soon. any suggestions?

haha, yeah, I think I'll do that cept I always feel bad soooo i might just stay at the stage since i like jason mraz and he's on before them on the same stage.

osheaga is great--i think the fact that there are so many different stages and bands to check out is awesome! i say enjoy the day, check out as many musical acts as you can (see who's playing and maybe find out before hand if they're your type of music) and have fun until coldplay comes on. i wonder if coldplay fans will be staking out the stage they're on the whole day? i intend on seeing lots of acts and then making my way to their stage before they come on...how early is everyone going to be waiting at their stage?

yes please! I'd like to be put onto the "I can haz spare?" list =) thanks! (Canada)

thanks for the suggestions about the vip tickets guys! i actually realized that my brother's wedding is the sunday (haha, Aug 2). For a second there I had a mini heart attack...thought I'd have to miss coldplay! Osheaga tickets dont sell out do they? I remember buying them super late two summers ago and was fine. I don't have to buy soon do I? (financial situation is a bit better next week) thanks

also, im tempted to get the vip passes....wat do y'all think? (i love the lineups for both days)

noooooooooooooooooooooo but of course i am going to this. AH THIS IS AN AMAZING LINE UP

ahhh I hope so! I passed on Toronto because I'm hoping there will be a Montreal date. Ah, I'd die of happiness. Is there/are there any amphitheaters that would be good? I don't know about osheaga though--they're music doesn't really fit their vibe. And I would really not enjoy the concert if it was there. How the main stage is set up and with the hill, I think i'd find it really annoying.

sweet deal! however, I'm not sure what type of precautions you could take but, one of my friends had gotten tickets from a person from an online site like craigslists and when they went to the concert, they didn't work. I know that through ticketmaster, if you lose your tickets you can call the place and tell them and they issue you new ones (older ones become void). But of course, I've had friends (more often then not) get real tickets. just sayin since this deal sounds almost...too sweet? anyway, good luck!

I think what people are taking issue to as far as it being unfair, is that it's not fair to their (Coldplay) fans. There's a difference between that and being an Argos fan and getting perks or, being a loyal customer to the Rogers/ACC and getting perks. I've never gotten tickets through a general sale before--anyone have luck getting really good tickets for that?

arrggg ah this is ridiculous! Coldplay should be rewarding their fans, not the stadium that hosts argo games rewarding argo fans. No way am I purchasing vouchers that would only increase the already high ticket price. Why are the tickets so expensive anyway? Floor seats were $90 in October when I saw them (before fees) and now they're $99? I'd understand a signup for an argos newsletter or something but ugh, this sucks. Maybe I'll just wait and see if they do another Canadian date if I can't get good tickets on monday

ahh I really hope so! there are 3 or 4 days in between toronto and a us date correct? I hope they add other locations in Canada (instead of adding more toronto shows) that are a little closer to me hahaha. Montreal would be great.

well I'm glad it's been announced! wooooooo

well I think its pretty much certain at this point that it'll be an outdoor venue. just wondering, (because I have never been) but what's so bad about the acc? it's just a generic arena right?

oh god it was horrible. when I heard him say he was singing it, my initial thought was "nnnnnnooooo" I dunno, I don't think i've ever seen another artist's version of a coldplay song and thought it was good. However, I did like adele and mark ronson when they did GPASOYF

they're playing viva now!

haha I know that! I think its more...intimidating (as in I wish I were fit!) But I do like him 'bigger' I suppose.

he needs some more meat on his bones! someone send him an endless supply of stella or guinness!

^^what did they do? for the twisted logic tour I ended up getting my ticks off ebay because by the time I was able to get tickets, all the good ones were gone.

ah I'd totally go for a meet up...if I can find a way to tell my best friend (who's going with me) without her looking at me like I'm crazy haha. Everyone in my life already thinks I'm way too into Coldplay. but is that even possible?!?!

i'm pretty sure theres no way around the fee. its like their service fee which is comparable to the system access fee they used to apply to cellphones.

!!! that is crazy!! thats pretty much stealing, really. I feel like fans are being pushed into a corner and given no options. gah

30$ in fees for both tickets? as in 15$/ticket? or is it 30$ each cuz that would be absurd. 15$ is still absurd for a piece of paper that has to be printed but that I'm used to (i suppose).

When I bought tickets for the presale earlier this year, the max was 2 tickets per person (which kind of sucks). I had a bit more time to fiddle with the presale--when I wasn't satisfied with the tickets I got, I rejected them and did this a few times until I got ones I was happy for but then again, it's a risk because you don't know if they're going to sell out. I'm thinking since this is Toronto, tickets will go quickly. For the general sale the max will prolly be around 8 tickets per person (at least in Ottawa it is). Again, you can take risks for that but I think that the good tickets will be gone pretty fast if you don't snatch them. As for Krobby, I think you should stick with the company that is in charge of it just in case (ticketmaster or liveation). I'd rather just wait until the day tickets go on sale with a reputable site then take any chances. If things don't fall into place, I've found that you can get pretty decent deals on ebay (paying maybe 20% or more if you're lucky). Of course, only get them if they have good feedback! I searched molson amphitheatre and went to the main site-- you can check out the 3d seating plan which is pretty helpful. and rooney, thanks for the info!
