I never have really done this kindof thing but the next coldplay concert is in early August and I cant find tickets anywhere! I found two for general admission for the lawn (as illustarted in teh picture) for 100 dollars but Im not thinking tehse are great seats. I dont want to beg my parents to go to florida and have tghe chance my bf wont go for not great tickets. Help anyone!? How early should I start buying my concert tickets? And how do I knwo when they start going on sale?

I would either purchase from ticketmaster.com unless they are sold. They could sell out pretty fast for Colplay since they are so popular so purchase as early as possible. If you can't find any tickets there I would go to They offer a good selection of sold out tickets for reasonable prices.
Front Row King is an online ticket company specializing in sold out concerts and sports tickets. Find tickets to your favorite band, singer or team.

Lady Gaga Live in Manila - This concert was held last August of 2009 at the Araneta Coliseum, here in the Philippines.
If you really love the artist so much, then its worth it.. buy the tickets ahead of time before you regret not buying the tickets early. For sure you will enjoy the concert just like how I enjoyed the concert of Lady Gaga here in the Philippines. By the way, here is a picture of Lady Gaga performing during that concert. :)

I have been to a lot of concerts and it really depends. Sometimes tickets go really quick and sell out on the day of release but most you can buy pretty much up to a couple of weeks before the event. I would check out ticketmaster.com as they will have the date of release listed and you can search for tickets on there which will give you an idea of where you would be sitting.

It depends on the artist and the location of the concert, sometimes I buy concert tickets a week before or just days before. There was also a time when I bought tickets on the day of the concert itself and on the venue itself already but when Lady Gaga had a concert here, I bought tickets a month before! because some of the sections of the venue were already sold out even if the concert is still more than a month to go! so.. I guess it really depends on the artist and the venue as well.
