Coldplay - Dublin 2024 - Update Post 1 on Toutless

It's my favourite Coldplay song. I had a sign asking for Ink, but I'm equally as happy Everglow was played. The fact it was dedicated to those we've lost made it more special.

2017 setlist was miles better i thought

Yes its a great song, and only 3 minutes long too, it will fit in well with their new stuff.

On Sunday night there were 2 ladies in front of us at the turnstile who only had one ticket between them.

I changed turnstile so I don’t know if they were let in or not.

I found security very helpful and friendly all evening

Feel so cheated as ours weren't hearts, they were crosses so as a glasses wearer was more like when it's raining at night on a windscreen or if you have astigmatism 🤣

Thankfully the crowd around me were great. I've had my fair share of concerts spoiled by obnoxious people in the crowd though, most recently at Kings of Leon when 3 people barged their way to the front at 10pm as if they were always there, and those of us who were there for 5 hours had to tell them to f off and it turned into a bit of a spat of them telling us to f off.

I made the mistake of going to the toilet after Maggie on the Thursday, people were fairly obliging as I made my way out away from the barrier.

Spent about 15 minutes in 2 different queues on the way back trying to get some drinks, a load of missed calls from herself and I'd to abort thinking she'd lost our spots. My God, absolute gridlock. The looks of disgust I was getting as I was pleading my case to get by people. Tried my best to take the same route back thinking I'd be somewhat remembered and be let through by some.

Only a hundred meters but it was the hardest walk and squeeze I've ever had. Had two separate instances where people made it their business not to let me through and I had to re-route. That was the poxy thing about that B section, there seemed to be no limit to the amount of people they let in. Sat there for hours, then ye get c#nts only after arriving due to their lack of a wristband blocking your way back. Manners seems to go out the window in such situations with some people.

Absolutely, I'd be skeptical about it myself though I think it's easy enough to spot chancers barging through at the last minute and someone explaining why they're trying to get through the crowd.

I wasn't referring to all I encountered but rather a couple of individuals that IMO, behaved like c#nts, and one who used her arse to try prevent me from getting by. She succeeded. It was absolute grid lock so there was no barging past people, I'd not do it anyway.

Anyone I encountered were politely asked to allow me to pass and I'd a pain in my hoop explaining myself but I did. Got back in the end thanks to those who allowed me to squeeze past, the ones that didn't and were only short of telling me to f off, weren't there hours like many of us, hence the label c#nts. It's a perfect word to describe c#nty behavior, nothing harsh about it.

Was going to say the same thing. It was actually hard to hear them at times due to the amount of talking noise around the stadium while they were being played.

Anything other than the big singles was probably unknown to most of the crowd.

Yes, bots.

Two of their best songs, along with Politik.

Bots didn't hoover up tickets. Go back only a few pages and there's plenty of posters here saying they got tickets through resale in the weeks leading up to the gig (in addition to two of my friends from work). If the bots were indeed "hoovering up tickets", that simply wouldn't have happened. Unless I dunno, the big bad (phantom) bots take lunch breaks… 😂😂

Ticketmaster are overly aggressive on bots which you'll have seen with rakes of real people being kicked off Ticketmaster trying to buy Oasis tickets because TM thought they were bots. Sometimes people are unfortunately unable to comprehend how in-demand gigs are.

You're one of the most misinformed nonsense-talkers on this forum.

"The bot carts the tickets but the operator has to actually check out manually, so if nobody is there to do that the tickets will be released.".

By that logic, the unpurchased tickets would immediately be put in the basket by the next bot and they'd still never be able to be bought by a 'real user'. Or is there just one sad bot in operation that gives up after being rejected.

Your whole shtick on bots is as follows:

• When people can't get tickets: "It's the bots! You haven't a chance of getting tickets".
• When MULTIPLE people can get tickets: "Ehhh, that doesn't count".

Keep believing what you want. The clever people in the room know that you're talking rubbish. You're just looking foolish when people do pick up tickets in resale.

Well Ticketmaster in the UK is being investigated now
