They are one of the most well known and popular alternative rock groups in the world and they have only been around for ten years. The magic for Coldplay began in 1996 when founding members Chris Martin (vocals, piano and guitar) and Jonny Buckland (lead guitar) met at University College London during orientation. They spent a year putting together the band and playing a few small venues – first as Pectoralz, then as Starfish – before settling on the name that we have all come to know and love.

Coldplay front man Chris Martin – husband of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and father to a child they named Apple – is an honors grad who has always been very cause oriented. The band has given their support to all sorts of political and social causes including Band Aid 20, Live 8, Amnesty International and a host of others.

Claiming as huge range of influences from U2 and Radiohead to Echo and the Bunnymen, Kat Bush and even Johnny Cash, Coldplay’s inspiration may be all over the place but their music is definitely focused and well thought out. With a Grammy winning single under their belt (“Clocks”) and more than 40 million albums sold, Coldplay may seem to be known primarily for their recordings but it is definitely their live shows where the true magic happens as anyone who has been in attendance can tell you.

Their popularity is evident to anyone who has ever tried to get good tickets to see a Coldplay concert. Wait in line for eight hours or more only to end up settling for seats in the nose bleed section and you will understand just how frustrating the ticket line can be. The good news is that you don’t have to do any of that anymore (and who has time anyway?).

Impulse Tickets makes it possible for you to get the best Coldplay tickets available and you can get them at Impulse first. By the time you would have made it into visual range of the ticket window you will already have picked your seats, added them to your shopping cart and completed the purchase. While I don’t recommend it, you could even do this at work in a couple of minutes instead of having to take the day off to wait in line.

Groups like Coldplay don’t come around every day. Their music is intelligent, thought provoking and mature. If you haven’t seen them play their most popular tunes live then you haven’t heard a fraction of what the boys can do with tunes like “Yellow”, “Clocks” and “The Scientist”. Their live performances breathe new life into their music and make them feel new to even the most devoted of fans.

Impulse Tickets offers a lot more than just Coldplay tickets and all of the hottest musical acts (from Metallica to Celine Dion), they also make it just as simple for you to grab tickets to your favorite sporting events (NFL, anyone?) and even Broadway shows like Wicked.
