I got front row aisle in the section right next to the stage!! Best seats ever!! :awesome: I did see floor, but they were row 20 something. I personally like the elevated side view right next to the stage unless I somehow got the first few rows of the floor (never happens in my experience).

It's somewhat comparable, but not equally comparable. When VLVODAAHF was released in 2008 we weren't in the economic slump we are now, and that has had a huge impact on everything. People are a lot more cautious what they spend there money on now. However, i think it's fair to say this album isn't quite as popular as VLVODAAHF. If all things were equal, it would probably have less sales overall. How much less? Who knows. Either way, it's been staying in the charts fairly well here in the states, only slipping a few spots each week. US Billboard 200: MX is at #12 this week, down 2

Easy thing with the presale, if they don't offer the first few rows of sections 104-107 or 123-120 or decent floor seats, then wait for the general sale.

I'm pretty sure they'll release more dates, there are just too many gaps and cities missing. I'm sure St. Louis will be one of them.

Toyota Centre is great! For reference, My avi is me at the 2008 gig sitting in section 105, row 6 - best seats I've ever had to a Coldplay show if you don't count the PIT in Dallas, but those weren't seats! :awesome: Basically, if you get seats in the first 10 or so rows of sections 120-123 or 104-107, you will have great seats.

I haven't received the email yet and mind still says 'charged preorder'.

Yeah, I love Toyota Centre's ticketing. I always end up with great tickets when buying directly from their site as you can choose the specific sections! If I wasn't moving, I'd meet up with you at the Dallas and Houston shows again! :thumbsup:

I always aim for the first few rows of the sections right next to the stage on the first level. SOOO much better than the floor seats.

Interesting. Yeah, I wonder if it's a regional thing. Oh well, one more week isn't really going to matter to me. I just hope it arrives before the end of December as I'll be going out of town for New Years and don't want it just sitting around waiting for me.

I believe it's in a sleeve, not a jewel case based on the previews.

Woohoo! Moving to Seattle and get to be welcomed by Coldplay! I can't think of anything more :awesome:

Why not go to both! :thumbsup: EDIT: Just saw you live in Amarillo, lol, so I'd say Dallas would be better no? I'll be moving to Seattle, so getting tickets to Seattle and Portland this time around... It'll be so weird not seeing them in TX, but also :awesome:

This schedule reeks of leaving optins open. I mean, the date gap between Dallas and Houston alone probably means a couple more shows in the region will be added. I think the Pacific NW is all accounted for though!

Wahooo! I'm officially a fanatic as I am now re-arranging my move to Seattle around Coldplay's schedule. :rolleyes: Oh what have they done to me... :shame: I refuse to let anything get in the way of three years of patiently waiting to see them again! Plus this will be my bday pressie to myself. Seattle and Portland shows, here I come! :awesome:

Oh nooooo!!! I'm moving to Seattle next May and miss BOTH the Seattle and Houston dates due to this schedule! :bigcry: To make it worse, Seattle's date is less than a week before the move! How I wish the dates were reversed, then I could go to both the Seattle AND Houston shows :awesome: Crap, now I have to decide if i'm a big enough fan to re-arrange my entire move around Coldplay! :lol:

No way!!! Mmmm well maybe they are 3rd party sellers selling it on Amazon, etc? I've seen this happen before with store exclusive items. If that's the case, then they aren't lying. Notice the release date is one week later? I mean after the official release date, it will pop up for sale in places where people who bought extra copies try to sell them - like amazon, ebay, etc.

Haha! Wow, I don't even think I can do that... well, comfortably... :shame:

Haha! Mine too! :lol:

Roadie #42 - Blog #156 3 December 2011 3:57 pm I’ve written at length before about how Will gets a rum deal in reporting sometimes. He’s often painted as a stern “no man”. Someone slightly scary, who constantly exercises his veto on proceedings. In situations like this though, he shows his true role as the rock. When the band all disappear off into slightly different versions of the old song, it’s him they turn to (quite literally) because he will always be the one mouthing the words and counting the time into the chorus. He is the memory bank, the metronome and the collective safety harness. :wacky: Is it me, or does his hand look all twisted around backwards!?!? :shocked2:

ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!! ONE WEEK!!!! :bomb:

Nice pack! Mmm, I just hope the lyrics are not what is included with the notebook in the limited edition MX. It would kind of suck paying that much money to then have something in it released to everyone!

Why don't they play Speed of Sound any more? It always seems like a big omission to me. Maybe due to it's similarity to Clocks? I would have rather had that than What If, but it's nice to hear it again either way. Now we just need Trouble, Square One or Amsterdam...

Ooh, in less than a month too! :thumbsup:

I don't believe they will win anything and I do believe Maroon 5 will win the Duo/Group category. The Grammy's has turned into a popularity contest now... Adele will probably rule the show due to that.
