    The amount of 13/14 year olds, already queuing up is insane.

    Coldplay for 13 year olds?! Am I that out of touch?


    No....It's the children who are wrong

    Agree. Was very interested in purchasing until I saw today's prices.

    I would like to see them live, like a lot of their stuff but those prices are too much - very disappointing.

    Has happened with a few other bands recently as well like Muse where the prices are too much.

    Will take all of 20 min at most to sell out, I suspect ?

    If Garth Brooks can sell it out for 3 nights then Coldplay can sure as hell sell it out for one!

    Coldplay didn't sell out phoenix park in 2009. I know that was 7 years ago but they have gotten worse not better.

    Just happened to drive by my local Ticketmaster agent about an hour ago and there was already quite a queue outside! Makes me more nervous about my chances of getting them online in the morning. I'd say it will sell out very quickly.

    How does it work - actual shop versus us going online? Does each shop get a certain quota to sell or do they need to go online for their customers through a special link? I'd be fairly peed off if I queued up overnight and didn't get them only to hear someone else went online at 8.59 am and did!

    You'll get them....

    Even if it "sells out" tomorrow, they'll always release extra tickets closer to the date, without announcement, online...Happens every single gig

    I've never really tried to buy gig tickets the second they go on sale before. Is there anything I need to do to give myself the best chance?

    I'm still undecided between seating tickets and standing tickets but on this occasion, it might be worth getting the standing tickets just by looking at the seating plan for the gig,given the runway that Chris Martin likes to run up and down on :P
    I see Ticketmaster have an Early Entry package to get the best place to stand but they charge nearly twice the price :eek:

    If the gig sells out tomorrow people can always buy these "bargains" that Ticketmaster are offering for the gig

    Early Entry Package includes:
    €189.50
    - Standing ticket to see Coldplay live
    - Early Entry Pass: access to the venue floor before standard ticketholders
    - Exclusive Coldplay tour gift
    - Souvenir Coldplay tour Laminate and Lanyard
    - Designated check-in with our on-site Event Staff

    Hot Tickets includes:
    245.15
    Seated ticket in top price category to see Coldplay live
    - Exclusive Coldplay tour gift
    - Souvenir Coldplay tour Laminate and Lanyard

    I definitely think its worth the extra 100 euro for the lanyard and designated check in :)

    They (ticketmaster) expect it to completely sell out in under 20 min and there is no second gig.

    TicketMaster App is usually better than Website for buying tickets in a rush

    I say that could be sold out in minutes.The main incentive there would be the early entry to get the best standing position possible

    If it does sell out that fast, I'm sure a 2nd night will be added, there is room before and after the Dublin gig to add another date.

    They had updated the pitch standing zones on the map

    Odd that they are doing that ,Standing 2 is much inferior to the other 2.

    Every other venue in Europe has only 1 or 2 standing areas .
    Could they not just have 2 standing areas either side of the runway ?

    I really hate the way concerts get announced at such short notice and they seem to make it up as they go along.
    What is funny though is that Seatwave had the correct stage layout up hours before Ticketmaster ,tis such a farce.

    Trust me....

    Ed Sheeran, U2, Springsteen, Beyoncé, etc etc all had tickets released either the day of the show or the week of the show

    That's just people listing tickets they don't have yet. Common enough I've read


    Or residents who bought them selling them!

    Any idea how much the pitch standing tickets will be? Usually they give you a breakdown of what area costs what but it's just a price range yet on the site.

    I just don't trust that site. People are selling for specific blocks. They're not waiting to buy their tickets at 9.

    Thanks for this, so the brown seats are premium so the more expensive ones. Blue and red are normal price then? How can I try to get a seat more towards the front of the stage and not all the way back? Or is it just luck of the draw of what comes up when I log in? Should I have a few browsers open to try to get the best option? Do I click best available or what? Sorry for stupid questions but any advice appreciated.
