No shit Sherlock, this is how it happens with the ticket agencies. They are allowed to buy them at face, buy several sections then sell them at an elevated price. Its called TICKET SCALPING folks, and in most states (Louisiana for sure) it's ILLEGAL. So, when are you gonna report them? Do you really think TM got those good seat tickets by standing in line, even a presale line, like you did? FUCK NO they didnt. its all about money, for them. You are a loyal fan. Coldplay management does not give a shit about you . They care about your money, only.Period. With the COLDPLAY tour grossing nearly US $90 million last year, you have to ask just how much $$ is enough?

Yellow 745- big help, I will try that. Thanks for the info. MikeJPSS

Album of the Year Coldplay not getting Album Of The Year sucked. Proof positive that those voting have not a great ear for music. Coldplay lead the others by warp years in my opinion. Who am I? Just a 56 year old that has seen the birth of most current music on today's market- blues, rock,jazz,country,alternative rock, new age, etc.,etc., Am I an expert? No! But to me, I am ! Coldplay has many, many great years ahead as long as they hold themselves together. If the music doesn't convince you, just one concert will. Coldplay needs not a Grammy award to solidify itself. Period. They rock baby. :)

I am trying NOT to use a ticket agency,which brings me back to my original posting- where can I buy tickets from the Coldplay site? You know as well as I that the big ticket agencies buy out a concert within 5 minutes of the tickets going up for sale. They turn around the tickets to you and me for 50-100% profit minimum. In most states this is illegal. I would just like to knwo where I can get logged onto that would allow me to buy 12 tickets when they go on sale, and eliminate the middle man. The earlir posting by "Anchorman" id say that "TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE".I took that as tickets could be bought directly from Coldplay, or an authorized agency without the 50-100% increase, and (family,small,friend. groups coupld get a chance to buy.:rolleyes: Short story here- its NOT the money so much as I am in making plans to fly to Dallas the night b4 the 22nd with one daughter to catch that concert, then fly to Houston the next day to catch the 22 july concert. :D I just want to ensure we no1.-have tickets for all 12 of us 2. we are not held up by a crook that wants the 4-6 times face value you mentioned. Thats all anyone following Coldplay as we do deserves, and judging from your posting, like you too. The average Coldplay concert goer desrevs a right to find tickets at a reasonable price, just b/c one can not buy 100 tickets and sell the 97 they dont need doesnt mean they should pay 4-6 times the face value. What are the avenues to "TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE" as posted by Anchorman, other than what you replied earlier? Hope I have not pissed you off, I am only trying to find a few facts and indeed help everyone score on tickets without the scaplping. Thanks for helping, Mike J.:P

Texasluvsjonny-thanks for the info. Excuse my simplicity, am a newbie on this site. Your help is much appreciated and I will try your ideas. Cost per ticket is a factor, however, sitting close or together is most important to us. Thanks again for your help. Anyone else? I dont want to cycle or recycle revenge........... :)

Anchorman- How are" tickets available from here" as you stated in the opener? The purpose of this thread (ok, one of em) is to help secure tickets-well, I need help to get 12 tickets. Can you show me a link, or direct me in any way? Thanks in advance. Mike J.:)

I sat on the floor at Toyoto Center on 11-18-08 , being 6 ft 1 inch I had trouble seeing also. Never will do floor seats again. :\ ANYBODY_ PLEASE tell me how to get 12 tickets -together-as a group. ANY help would be appreciated. :D

Tickets for the show Can someone tell me how to get tickets to this show- besides going thru TicketMaster, or the other routine scalps ? In all of my concerts to see Coldplay, I have yet been able to buy them directly from the group , and at face value. Always have to buy thru a 2nd or 3rd layer , and the usual $80 ticket will cost me upwards of $130. I am in need of 12 tickets to take the girls in my family (daughters, grand daughters, daughter-in-laws) :D ( Did I mention that Paw-Paw will be paying for all the tickets? :laugh3:) Seems there should be a way to get tickets so that we can all sit together, or reasonably close to each other. We all love Coldplay, have been several times and wish to keep going to these concerts. We drive from Baton Rouge to Houston to see them so we would like to stay together at the concert. Someone please advise me the best way to get tickets before the concert is sold out in 3 minutes to the ticket companies that resell them for a scalp. :\ Any help would be appreciated. Mike J in Gonzales, La.

Susan, I feel the same way. I took all my daughters in November to see them at the Toyoto Center, now I found tonight that they will be back in July. We WILL be there, whatever it takes.:) The rest of the family knows I am ate up with Coldplay, its just a matter of fact round this house. :D

I actually like the idea of them leaving in a hot air balloon. Rushing the stage could and probably will end in someone getting hurt albeit not intentional. The ballon trick removes the injury risk, and aligns with the yellow balloons dropped on the 2006 tour (well, they dropped in Houston in Feb 06) during the concert .....:) Perhaps a yellow hot air balloon? :cool: Mikejpss- out!

Got Tickets? Newbie here-first post on this site. Anyone have tickets they want to sell? I need 7 so I can bring my girls from the States. We have seen Coldplay several times including last November 18 in Houston,Texas. Its time for me to make the fly across the big pond anyways, so if we can get the tickets we'll make the trip. Is the concert sold out yet?:D In case you r wondering, in my 56 years here on Earth there has not been a better sounding group that I have heard. :) If you can point me in the right direction to get tickets to this concert I would very much appreciate it. Have a good one ! Mike J.
