I am not sure if anybody else feels the same way, but I am really looking forward to seeing Coldplay in concert (again)! If I am not mistaken, they are due to play at the Letzigrund on Saturday 26 May. Would anybody happen to know when tickets go on sale and if there are any seats/sections to avoid in the Letzigrund for concerts?
Viva la Vida!

Thanks for the reminder- was just watching them on UK X Factor and had forgotten how amazing they are- def want to get tickets. Don't know what time they go on sale- could be midnight??? Let me know if you hear anything in the meantime

There is a separate stock set aside for Raiffeisen members. No special price, but the tickets will last longer.

120.- certainly is enough for a ticket though - even if its Coldplay!

I have parted with half a thousand Francs to get four tickets for the show at Letzigrund. Quite frankly, ticket prices are a scandal these days, but whilst muppets like myself are willing to spend the cash, then they'll stay at that level.

Apart from the one Locarno show, I've seen all the Coldplay shows in Switzerland and the guys put on a good concert, even in the rain in Bern back in 2009. Can't say I like a single song from their new CD, but anything from "Parachutes" or "A Rush of Blood" is worth experiencing live.

Agreed. Used to be a huge Coldplay fan when they first started out and been to two of their concerts. I simply dont get the Mylo Xyloto album. Its as if its not them at all.

Their performance on X Factor on Sunday confirmed that all the bouncing and all the impessive stage sets in all the world can't make them sound like anything other than bland and out of ideas.

I hope you all managed to get tickets....???
I'm hitting through the roof! I woke up early to grab tickets - I got the Golden Circle but really didn't know you have to really be "standing" in front of the stage! Grr...!
...and I paid good money from them CHF 387.50 for 2 - feel like a right punter!
If there is anyone out there who has managed to get seated tickets, let me know if you want to be up and close to the band in exchange for a seated place!

Another good reason for leaving Zurich !

Noooo...standing at a Rock/Pop Concert. I'm speechless. In the end they even move/dance there...horrible.

haaa! Actually professor, for vertically challenged people like me, its sometimes better to sit and dance from the comfort of a seat versus trying to jump up and see whats going on and smelling peoples' armpits

Got my ticket today to see them, standing ticket! Cannot wait! :-) Went to see them in 2009, blew me away, and looking forward to this album tour!

Let's just say that seeing Coldplay live makes me weak in the knees and I need my seat!!

I just know that I'm going to have the usual Swiss crowd around me at this show. The type that feel it is their God-given duty to hold a loud conversation about Migros Cumulus card points during "Politik". That really gets on my nips.

If you listen to probably one of the greatest live concerts of all time (The Who - Live at Leeds) you could hear a pin drop during the quiet bits, no idiots shouting out obscenities or other garbage. I guess that having Townshend standing menacingly above you ready to ax you with his guitar would also be a good incentive to shut the hell up.

Coldplay fans are rather para...para...paranoid.

In regards to ticket prices..
Having once worked in the industry I can attest to the huge amount of logistics and personnel involved for a single two hour show. A band like coldplay probably transports its entire stage, as well as lighting, sound, props anything up to 20 truckloads worth. There is also the travelling crew, from lowly roadies, to managers, pr spivs, merchandisers, wardrobe, the list goes on and on. Probably at least 50 bodies if not more. Everybody has to be transported, accommodated, fed it goes on and on. Not to mention hiring the venue, local crew and commissions paid out for the ticket sales. Now bands like the Stones charging 300 a ticket are killing the pig, but generally, bands make money from tours through the mechanise and extra album sales. So its not so bad really.. enjoy the show

So today, they are not selling anymore?

It looks like ticketcorner.ch is not selling tickets anymore. Just had a look on viagogo and the cheapest tickets are going for 185 Francs a piece. Ouch. Are there any other places worth looking at to snag a ticket?

Look at alltickets.ch, ricardo.ch or go for a ticket in another country

I ordered my tickets via ticketcorner.ch but I'm still waiting for them to arrive ... starting to get a bit worried

Mine arrived about 3 days ago. Did you get an email saying they'd been dispatched ? (I did).

are these still available anywhere?
