Coldplay Presale Purchase Question

Quick Question - I just had the "privilege" of purchasing 4 tickets to the nissian coldplay show for a paltry $315.40.

I Got GA-PIT tickets. Please tell me this is actually the area in front of the stage and not the lawn. I got GA tickets for the wilco presale and i ended up getting lawn tickets by mistake.

Anyone care to quell my anxiety that i just dropped 300 bucks to sit on grass and listen to coldplay like they are coming out of a cd player as 5000 kids talk over my ability to hear anything? Anyone? Please?

I did the same thing and my impression is that you are correct. I did a triple-take to make sure.

Check out the orchestra. Should be great seats.

I did the same thing for the VA Beach show. I was surprised to see GA Pit, it not being on the normal seating configuration, but I bought 2 of them anyway for $163. They're clearly labeled Pit on the receipt, and my understanding is that they remove orch seats at the larger venues to create the small gated "pit" area. Additionally, on the email purchase confirmation i received, its says "ORCH-GA PIT." They're doing this at a lot of venues for this tour at which they normally don't.

Thanks, I suppose that makes me feel a little bit better.

Still though, 70 bucks. Sigh.

Some folk have more money than sense.

Care to clarify?

I like coldplay. I enjoy their music. They are a great live band. Im poor, but im willing to treat myself to a concert i'll certainly enjoy. What the fuck is it to you? Insulting me for spending 70 bucks on a concert. Get a life.

i'm sure there are bands that many of us would be willing to pay $70 for (just ask bags), but paying $70 to see coldplay?

Yeah - Paying 70 dollars to see coldplay. I cant understand paying 70 bucks to see the pixies (so help me god if this sparkes a pixies/coldplay debate because that is not the point and i realize the amount of pixie lovers here), but im not ripping everyone else to shreds about it having happened this past year. To each his/her own.

Save it for the guy that just dropped 500 for 2 pit tickets and leave me and my money decisions alone.

I'd guess he's saying this is too much to see coldplay…..

coldplay is charging ridiculous prices this tour.
and people are so hyped up on coldplay for this upcoming album release/tour that they don't care and will pay it.


… or he's saying coldplay sucks.

seeing coldplay tickets @ $70 just solidifies my belief that next time james brown comes through it is worth dropping $50 to see him.

Here, here.

I like a lot of bands that I realize may not be other people's cup of tea. I understand that.

I also understand that this softer, "bed-wetting" music doesnt appeal to everyone.

What I dont understand is how you cannot acknowledge that while Coldplay does not play typical rock music (or whatever genre you are into), they are an extremely talented band and are great at what they do.

not to be nit picky. but its "hear hear" not "here here"

unless you're calling for your dog and posted here by mistake :)

yeah but i can go see The High Dials who are very good at what they do for a lot less money…. Why aren't they as big as Coldplay.
