Unfortunately we need a pair, sorry. I think my wife would be a bit upset with me if we weren't together at the show. 😉

I have two "platinum" (which means only that I paid a higher price, I think) pista (field or pitch) tickets for the Barcelona show on May 27, 2023. I would like to trade them for a pair in the stands at the same show or one of the other Barcelona shows. Please let me know if interested. Thanks, Chris

All of the field tickets are for assigned seats. Not that anyone will be sitting in them during the show, but yes, seat location obviously does determine where you'll be standing.

STILL AVAILABLE AS OF JUNE 28th. UPDATE - JULY 27th --- SOLD.

My tickets are still available. I have them listed on Ticketmaster, too, but that service adds about $82 per ticket in resale fees. Not pretty. If anyone would care to buy them from me directly, you can save yourself some money!

I do still have them. Just sent you a reply via PM with my email address so that we can work out details. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your interest.

I have an extra pair of tickets for this show - Club section 239, row 8. I've listed them in the "ticket exchange" thread if anyone's interested. Selling at cost ($419.75 for the pair), of course. Summer can't get here fast enough! :-) Edited on 7/5/16 to add price information.

I have two extra tickets for Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Show is on Saturday, September 3rd. Happens to be on Labor Day weekend. Seats are Club Section 239, row 8. $419.75 for the pair, which was my actual cost through Ticketmaster during one of the presales. If interested, please send me a PM and we can work out details. I am fairly certain that I can transfer these directly through Ticketmaster to a buyer. STILL AVAILABLE AS OF MAY 10, 2016. Thought I had a buyer, but the sale fell through.

Nice video! Thanks for sharing.

Ticketmaster has absolutely nothing to do with the ticket prices OR anything to do with the act not having any GA section. All they control are the service charges (which are often a total ripoff in and of themselves, but that's not what you were complaining about). GA is much more difficult to do in the states because of the liability issues. Lawyers (and the tendancy to give them business by suing anyone in sight when one feels that someone has even been looked at "in the wrong way") are far too prevalent here in the U.S., but the lawsuits are far less common in other countries and that's why you DO see general admission ticketing for shows elsewhere. The risks are much higher with GA because of the greater possibility of someone being injured. Now, with the tour probably back for a much more extensive U.S. leg on the second go 'round, with "sheds" (amphitheatres) or even stadiums as the venues, they will probably incorporate some sort of GA section, or sections, for those outdoor shows (think "pit" in front of the stage for a few hundred and "lawn" tickets, as they've done in the past, if they play amphitheatres again). But, as others have commented, they've not done GA tickets for their U.S. arena shows in the past. So it's not surprising that they are not doing so this time around, either. And Ticketmaster has NOTHING to do with that.

#1 - The "boys" are not making the decisions about ticket prices. #2 - They're basically bringing a "stadium tour" inside to arenas in the states. The economics of producing the same type of show each night for about one-third the number of people certainly forces ticket prices to go up, as many of the production costs inside will be about the same as for the stadium shows elsewhere. #3 - These "VIP" higher priced tickets are having prices set by the promoter, who is trying to cover the cost of the show and production in each particular venue without raising prices significantly throughout the building. #4 - Many seats in the front sections of the floor would wind up going for $275 - $400 each anyway, on the resale market, if they were priced like the rest of the building and made available through general sale (and therefore snapped up by all the scalpers and "brokers" who usually get their hands on the prime seats near the stage). So why shouldn't the promoter price these seats for what the market is going to pay, anyway? At least this way most of them are being kept out of the hands of the resellers (because of the fact that these tickets are available only through will-call pickup on the show date), who really don't care about the band or its fans and are only looking to turn the tickets for the best seats at a profit. #5 - You still have a right to think that the whole system sucks and not participate by NOT buying these high priced seats. As a final comment, U2 went really elaborate with their staging for their last tour --- in stadiums --- and all the best reserved seats were still $250 each. Coldplay is going to sell these shows out so fast it'll make your head spin (I am expecting several more shows to be added to the U.S. tour such that they will probably be doing at least two, if not three, gigs in each city they've announced on this first U.S. leg) and they could easily be getting more $ such that the ticket prices would be higher throughout the whole building at each show. They're not. Let's count our blessings and be happy. They're probably the hottest band in the world right now. And if they're not right now, they will be in 2012. God bless 'em. It's good to see some nice guys having themselves a huge success.:D

Well, I guess it was coming. But here's a prediction for us all..... Charlotte was the last North American show of the tour ---- not just the tour LEG, but the tour. I think Wembley is going to wrap it up, folks. I hope I'm wrong. But from all the vibes I've been getting from what I'm reading and hearing, the band and crew are ready to wrap this one up. I think the boys are ready to get back into the studio next year (after a nice fall and holiday season break) and lay down the next record. Which means that the existing tour schedule will be a wrap for the Viva La Vida tour. It makes sense, really... to go out with these huge stadium dates, on a real high note, before the "home" crowd. But it all seems a bit surreal, since Charlotte was the last NA show and we all didn't even know it at the time. And for me, as a Charlotte resident, to have missed that very show (I was down in Florida that night for another concert and then traveled over to Tampa for this "show that never was").... I dunno, it seems a bit ironic, personally. Now if I can only figure out how to get a refund on four other tickets I had purchased on Ebay and then resold, as I guess I owe a couple of folks some money.... ~sigh~ So disappointing. But that's life. The sun will still come up tomorrow.:)

Okay, thanks. I'm actually thinking that the longer we are delayed in hearing an answer, the better our chances are of having this show rescheduled. Not that it wouldn't be nice to hear some sort of official word, though.... just a "we ARE working on rescheduling" message would be much appreciated!

Okay... is this quoted from somewhere else, or is this just you writing this? If it is "official" I would take this to mean that the tour is ending on September 19th in London. As in "not just this leg of the tour, but the entire tour." Which of course would mean that Tampa will NOT be rescheduled and there will not be a Latin America leg of the tour in 2010. True? If so, please site a source. Thanks!

Have you REQUESTED a refund and they've refused to grant you one? I would think by now they'd be obligated to give you one if you asked for it. Your ticket(s) is basically a contract, giving you admission to a specific event on a specific date. Since they couldn't provide the event at the time and place specified on your ticket, I believe they have to give you a refund if you ask for it. Try sending their customer service depart an email. Personally I am not asking yet, as I'm still willing to wait for a decision on rescheduling. If they do reschedule and I can't make the new date, then I'll ask for a refund.
