Good luck everyone! I am keeping my fingers crossed that we all get tickets today.

Less then an hour to go. :D

[bern]

does anyone have any idea if the setlist will be any different on tuesday than on monday? I don't know why but it seems that uncommon songs get to be played on second nights... :stunned:

[Benjamin Linus]

Good question. I only saw Coldplay ONCE on TL tour. Can a long time fan confirm, if Coldplay switches up the setlist drastically night from night?

[Benjamin Linus]

Did anyone get good tickets?

I wasn't able to pull up anything good for 2 tickets.

[i heart chrismartin]

nope. nothing good... looks like they're all up for bidding in the auction. not fair.

looks like i'm not going to see coldplay this year. :confused:

[b-ri rdm]

nothing, what the hell is wrong with this date.


i was on ticketmaster 10 on the dot, got the form, 2 pit seating, and "not available check our parter site thatll sell you the tickets at 4 times inflation!"

what the FUCK! Whats a brother got to do for some damn pit seats, ive been online every damn morning, i lost out on the NY give away, i just wanna go and be close enough to where i can tell its actually them damn it!

[talkingonsquareone89]

$700+ for floor seats over at TicketsNow.


:furious3:

[Benjamin Linus]

Hrmm, I have never had this much bad luck before. 2 pre-sales, general sale..and not even a single GOOD ticket. Sure i have gotten "okay" tickets, but nothing great.

It just seems fishy to me. I'm wondering if the radiostations or someone has all the floor seats. Like they set them aside for promotional use.

I don't plan on going to either of the LA shows now. But I'm sure they will come back to the US.

[brooksthepro]

same here, i was only able to get colonade 10 row 17 :-(.....i bought them anyways. i rather be in the nose bleeds then not go at all!

[LVI56]

I tried for 2 tickets but got only crap seats. I managed to find a single ticket in loge 9 row v, saw them at about the same position in anaheim in 06 hopefully this is just as close. After shipping and convinience charge it came to $121...kind of up there out of my comfort zone but its coldplay and if this show is anything like their last tour then it will definatly be worth it.

[talkingonsquareone89]

argh...hopefully they WILL trickle out the rest of the good seats on Ticketmaster as the date nears. :\

[msf1]

Got a pair of FLR D Row 7 @10:08 and a pair of LOG 31 Row D @ 10:03... Good enough for me.

[Benjamin Linus]

Not bad at all! Your the first person I have heard of, getting floor seats in a pair.

Congrats!!!

[gerz85]

Got a pair of FLR D Row 7 @10:08 and a pair of LOG 31 Row D @ 10:03... Good enough for me.

arrrgggghhh so lucky.


i got a pair in COL 35 - ROW 5...sigh. still coldplay though, i suppose

[msf1]

It's pretty crazy how random it is... Good payoff after being a human OCR for the past 48 hours. We're so excited! Now get to go both nights too!

[brooksthepro]

tickets for the 15th are now available for general sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Makis]

I got Colonade 13 row 13 I am wondering if my view is going to be clear... I hate ticketmaster! why where they holding the tickets for the 15, sold out and know of of the suden there are tickets available? I mean not good tickets, but better then mine, and what's up with Ticketnow???
I went to the store to get the tickets and it was worst!, Now that I am home there are better tickets on line, but oh well! Last time they played L.A. I got 5th row tickets at the venue the day of the show, so who knows!!!! Congratulations to everyone who got good tickets you are really lucky!

[vivat la vie]

i was able to get tickets on presale yesterday, but i was hoping to find floor seats today but no luck... i really dont want to buy from ebay!!!

[lillylove]

Random question:

I don't remember how security was last time I went to The Forum, but I want to bring a digital camera with me to the show. How tight is security there? Is there a way to sneak in a digital camera into The Forum?

[Benjamin Linus]

Right now, I just got a Log 31 Row F for the Tuesday show!!

I was hopeing for better, but at least this is towards the front of Log.

Does anyone have pictures they can post, of the view of the forum? Like a better look at what the venue looks like inside?

Just trying to judge how good or bad my view is going to be.

[talkingonsquareone89]

just checked TM....where the hell did PIT SEATING come from?! :stunned: :D

[Benjamin Linus]

just checked TM....where the hell did PIT SEATING come from?! :stunned: :D

I wonder when those are going on sale? Or is that just a mistake? I didn't know the forum had a PIT section.

[lillylove]

I don't know if this picture will help, but it is a view of The Forum from the stage of a concert:

Thanks! looks like i'll be back a bit. Oh well, at least i'm seeing Coldplay! :o :D

[mmuro]

[gerz85]

we are luuuuuucccckkkyyyy!!!! (in reference to the rescheduled dates....)

[FloJoMoJo676]

Bump!

I'll be in the nosebleeds, but right next to the stage and Guy *sigh*. By the way, are we tailgating before the concert? :lol:

[LVI56]

How is security at the forum? In Anaheim I was able to get in with a digital camera no problem.
Also, any way to get around the $20 parking?
I love the new dates, we get their first "huge" concert of the new tour

[jcmojica23]

New to the board! Ill be at the July 15th show...Sec 7 Row C. I cant wait!!!

[Coldplayfan_4life]

Hello everyone,

I was very excited to attend both concerts (7/14 and 7/15), unfortunately, I wont be able to attend the concert on June 15 (Tuesday). I would like to sell the tickets for the 15th and all I'm asking is the amount I paid for them.

Anybody that needs, or knows somebody that wants to buy a pair fo tickets for Tuesday 7/15, let me know!

[jwk1414]

does anyone have any idea about the seats in Loge 22 and 15? ticketmaster is selling tickets in those sections...which appear to be behind the stage. any thought?

[joshfan21]

Hi! I'm a new member here. I found this after looking for tickets for the LA show. Coldplayfan_4life, are the tickets you have still available? How many tickets and which seats are they? Please PM me. Thanks.

joshfan21

[Coldplayfan_4life]

joshfan21,

the tickets I have are a pair for COL 27 and COL 28. If you have any questions email me at dante_37_08@hotmail.com

[i heart chrismartin]

just saw coldplay on the today show. i so wish i could see them at the forum but i'm ticketless for now. and broke. lol.

[busybeeburns]

Viva La Vida collaborator to support US tour shows in Los Angeles

From Jon Hopkin's blog:

I’ve been asked to support Coldplay for the first two shows of the Viva La Vida tour, on the 14th and 15th of July at the Forum, Los Angeles. I will also be joining them for the rest of their US tour as DJ, with more live support slots to be added along the way. Sadly this means I have had to cancel my scheduled DJ appearance at Camp Bestival, sorry about this.

[Chavi]

In one week the tour starts !!! is there anyone who's slightly excited ? :thinking: :dance:

[alyssa]

HOLY CRAP I'M SEEING THEM FOR FREE!

THANK YOU OXFAM!!!!!

[monicka]

I'll be there as well on the 14th! Volunteering for Oxfam!!! :D

[alyssa]

... :(

Hi Alyssa,

I terribly apologize for this mistake. In cutting and pasting the emails I have accidentally added you in. Due to regulations, we're unable to have volunteers under 18 years of age. I noticed that next year you will be so please submit in your application again and we will make sure to have help with the concert.

Again, I am so sorry for the confusion. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Duyen

[Ebs757]

Since Coldplay are in LA now, do any of you locals know where they will be staying? I will be in town this weekend!

[Ouiparis]

WOO HOO!!! Six days to go, baby! We're stuck in colonnade 26 in the teens. Does anyone know whether we'll be able to completely see the band from these seats? The map on ticketmaster wasn't very elucidating.

I'm with all of you who tried getting tickets for the 15th and noticed some funky ticketmastering stuff going on. But we get to be the first people to see them on their official tour!!!

I've been foregoing my daily French lessons on the way to work to alternate between Parachutes, Rush of Blood to the Head, and X&Y (giving Viva la Vida a rest for now). See you all there!

[i heart chrismartin]

aww! i didn't even get an email of any kind from oxfam lol. i was really looking forward to volunteering and seeing coldplay. :cry:

... :(

[Chavi]

... :(

i'm really sorry for you ! it sucks :confused:
hope you'll still be able to see them !

[StephBerryman]

i will be flying out to LA from New York just to see Coldplay

(and to see my nephew so I'm not completely insane!)

Is anyone here going to try to get standby tickets for the Jay Leno show on the 17th?

[LVI56]

Getting very excited.

Just read on the Forum website: "NO CAMERAS OF ANY KIND ALLOWED FOR THIS EVENT"
Oh well...

Anyone know whats with the $22 parking? eek...

[jcmojica23]

u have got to be kidding no cameras??? whats the best way to sneak one in for a guy?

[talkingonsquareone89]

hide it in your pants (....unless there's metal detectors....)


there's already a thread about ideas to sneak cameras into the concert. LoL, try browsing through there for some options. :lol:

[thesleepingsun]

man i dont know what im going to do without a few pics from a good quality camera instead of my phone.... I guess I'll have to develop a photographic memory in the span of about 72 hours :)

[LiquidSky]

You've got to get a camera inside! How else am I supposed to see any Jonny pixs from the show? :(

[LVI56]

I'll only have my blackberry for pictures and maybe some video. Mainly going to enjoy the show rather than distract myself trying to get a good shot.

Never been to the Inglewood area...but I hear its not so friendly. So get in and get out, and keep your doors locked at all times.

[LoveToday]

Wow... Tomorrow already? Sheesh..

I'm so EXCITED! :laugh2::surprised::freak::sunny::dance::rolleyes3 ::lol::wink3:
*no amount of smileys can express her excitement*

[LVI56]

Very exciting...I'll be leaving in 24 hours.
I was going through my directions and noticed the Forum is on Manchester Ave...also called CA-42...how cool and ironic is that?

Also been listening to Shearwater, should be good opening. Most looking forward to Jon Hopkins though, I really enjoy his work.

[Makis]

[thesleepingsun]

i wonder which songs they'll put from viva la vida on the setlist for this show and which they'll play from their previous albums. hopefully we'll all see Will sing "the goldrush". that would be awesome.

[LoveToday]

:rolleyes: 22 more hours!!!! :laugh3: :D

:shocked2::laugh3::lol::D:lol:

Whoop!

i wonder which songs they'll put from viva la vida on the setlist for this show and which they'll play from their previous albums. hopefully we'll all see Will sing "the goldrush". that would be awesome.

Yeah, I'm curious too.
I wonder what one's they'll play from X&Y....

[jcmojica23]

[talkingonsquareone89]

[alyssa]

[jcmojica23]

[Denise]

[Ouiparis]

What time do you think the band will actually come on stage? If we get to the Forum at 8:30pm, will we be in good shape?

[crazyduckette]

Hope everyone has a great show! You know that you guys are gonna be the first to see the new big setlist (hopefully). I cannot WAIT to hear what songs they played!!!!! eeeeeeeeee!

[darkchoc92]

Have a great time everybody!!! Looking forward to all your pics/reviews etc.... although I shouldn't really look...:sneaky:

[LiquidSky]

I'm excited for you guys and I'm not even going! Take lots of pictures and let us know how it all went down :D

[Makis]

[LVI56]

Wow...today already! I'm so excited!!!! I leave in 6 hours, about a 2 hour drive. Should get there about an hour before doors open. YAY!!!!!

[Chavi]

[krissy b.]

i definitely didn't sleep at all last night....way too excited. hope everyone has a great time-see y'all there. wooooooo :)

[Death Hill]

Can't wait to read the set list.

They better perform A Rush of Blood to the Head.:angry:

[LVI56]

They better perform A Rush of Blood to the Head.:angry:

YES they better!!! I love that song live. Can't wait till all the lights go dark and LIT starts up...goosebumps...ooh and the magic balls!!!

[Lore]

have fun guys :dance:

[Death Hill]

I just realized that LA is 3 hours behind my time zone here in Michigan so I'll proably have to stay up until 2 to see someone reporting the set list. :rolleyes:

Unless of course someone brings their personal blackberry to the show and reports the set list live as it happens.:wink3:

[thesleepingsun]

I can't wait for the show. What's better than Coldplay and magic balls at the same time and place?!?

[dotty biscotti]

Come back with stories!

[Spatel1305]

I still have a while to wait till i go see them (Nov. 19th) haha...but i hope everyone who goes tonight has an AMAZING TIME!!!!!

bring pictures back!!!!

[Ouiparis]

Does anyone have an idea what time Coldplay will actually be on stage? Tickets say 7:30, and the rule is usually one hour after that right?!

We're trying to sort out rides and stuff, so if anyone has the answer to this question, it would be a great help! Thanks!

[LVI56]

Usually its about an hour after what the ticket says. We have two supports though, Shearwater and Jon Hopkins, so it might be a little after 8:30.

[Ouiparis]

Awesome! Thanks, tentoizzymon! I figure that there might be some kinks, given that this is the first show.

[u2phan]

i hope they play Amsterdam

i'm working for Oxfam yippeee.

[Cris_Santos]

Hope you all have a great time :D

[polkahard]

Have an awesome time, everyone! It's sure to be an amazing show.

Roadie #42 says there'll be a techno-y version of GPASUYF. So, if anyone is so kind, please make sure you grab a video of that. I'd absolutely love to see it if it's as good as he says it is!!

[IgnitedBones]

Oh man, I'm so jealous of all of you! I have to wait 'til October 27th (105 days and counting. :tongue:)

Can't wait to see pictures!

[LVI56]

I just read Roadie #42 blog from the Forum...techno GPASUYF with lasers...WOW now I'm even more excited!!!

It struck me today that so far we've spent time in Wembley Arena, Madison Square Garden and the LA Forum - and yet the tour hasn't yet officially begun. Either it's all downhill from here, or this is going to be one hell of a ride...

Somewhat predictably, the week of production rehearsals has passed in the blink of an eye. For the first couple of days, the band were still in the UK. The lighting department replaced them with white towels hung over each mic stand. For some reason, Guy's mic stand was adorned with a bed sheet, which gave stage left the look of a particularly cheesy Halloween party.

But I digress. Once the band did arrive, it was right down to business. The first couple of run-throughs were somewhat tense, it has to be said. The B-Stage section of the show had been particularly problematic. Nobody has been 100% happy with the way it's been going. Will has been playing a drumkit about fifty feet in front of the sound system. This means the audience were hearing his drums once when he hit them, again when the audio from the PA system reached them (sound actually travels pretty slowly) and then a third time when the reflections from the back of the arena echoed around again. Everyone was dissatisfied and with the time available to change things getting short, people were concerned.

As is so often the case, a very small change brought a flood of others. Saturday began with the band merrily swinging sledgehammers at the B-Stage. The second drumkit? Gone. The Vox Continental keyboard? Gone. The songs they were going to play down there? History. The entire crew? Very, very confused!

Will had arrived with a tiny electronic drum-pad setup that plays some glorious 808 drum-machine sounds. They kicked into 'God Put A Smile' and it was utterly transformed, becoming a tight, almost claustrophobic techno rendition. Jonny twisted a demented new guitar part out of his pink Jazzmaster, the lasers rolled around overhead and all around the arena jaws dropped. It had gone from being the least effective part of the show to a new highlight in mere moments. It's the Coldplay way. Hours of uncomfortable stress give way to a burst of frenzied creativity and suddenly everyone is excited again.

The guys made their way back to the main stage and hammered through 'The Scientist', 'Speed of Sound' and 'What If' - all stripped down and without the aid of the orchestral studio parts. They sounded all the better for the simpler approach. The songs breathe and come alive without the mass of technology weighing them down. After weeks of adding, adding and more adding, they're finally stripping away the unnecessary baggage and letting the songs speak for themselves. And this they do, loud and clear.

At 7pm on Saturday night there was a final full show run-through. From where I sit, watching the show on a TV monitor under the stage, it looked like we've finally got a Coldplay show. The band were clearly excited and pleased. So much so, in fact, that Sunday was designated a day off! Production Manager Fin announced that the bar down the road from the hotel was open and he was buying.

Somewhat tellingly, pretty much the entire crew still wandered in on Sunday to do some small tweaks and last minute tidying up. We learnt long ago not to let our guard down just because we have a good day. Tonight is the first full show and everyone wants it to fully blow people away. I have to say, I really think it will.

[busybeeburns]

sounds great! :D

[Jenjie]

darn Roadie!! why does he always post his new blog an hour after I just checked for one? :angry: :laugh3:

[Carlaatje]

wait! what time is it in LA!
here I am thinking the concert is about done... when really it's hours away.....:cry:
i't's 22:30 in holland

[Chavi]

it's only 1:39pm in Los Angeles ! 6 hours to go :nice:

[Carlaatje]

good god! i'll get up early tomorrow, and it might not even be over at that time!

[Aleluvscp]

luckyyyyyyyyy :cry:

[Ebs757]

you guys have a great time! I was supposed to fly in from Chicago but the flights on my moms airline are full! Have a great time post lots of movies and pictures

[BoredTerry]

Hopefully someone is going to record the show... ;)

[LVI56]

Leaving in 30 mins. Bringing my blackberry in for pics and video, won't even try sneaking a better camera. Can't promise I'll record anything in good quality.

[CookyMnstr]

OMG I'm so excited, and I'm across the country and not even going!!! LOL But I'm so excited that the official tour is starting...which means I can come on here and live vicariously through the lucky people who get to go to the shows and will come back here and post pics & summaries & maybe vids, too??? HINT HINT HINT :wink3:

[LVI56]

Excited...I'm on my way out. See you all there, I'll be back here with review and hopefully some nice shots!
YAY!!!!

[melanieau]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sorry couldn't help myself!!!

Have fun everyone!!! And report back...can't wait to hear how it went:)

[Collee]

The excitement is contagious!! Can't wait to hear about it, how the staging was, a set list, EVERYTHING!!

[icedude2010]

I expect a set list asap.
LOL jk but I do expectantly await

[Montreal]

The setlist is very important cause it might be the same songs show after the show (like the last tour)

[LoveToday]

Whoop!

i just hope the tour is amazing ....so that all the coldplay haters will shut up

[I Love Chris Martin]

also- anyone picked for the oxfam thing at these shows? Just wondering how that went/if u were able to see any of the show/what types of things u did if u participated?

[JBassFox]

How sad...for some odd reason I thought our concert was the first of the two. :(

[LVI56]

ugh...just home home...and depressed. didn't even make it halfway to the forum and my car overheated. *crys*...this is terrible. its on right now and im not there...tried everything and couldnt make it...

[JBassFox]

That's horrible! Are you going to the show tomorrow? I don't know what I'd do in that position.

[strawberryfields]

ugh...just home home...and depressed. didn't even make it halfway to the forum and my car overheated. *crys*...this is terrible. its on right now and im not there...tried everything and couldnt make it...

Oh my god, that's awful! :cry: I'm so sorry... will you be able to go to tomorrow's concert???

[LVI56]

i so wish i was able to go tomorrow...i dont have a way and the ticket wouldnt get me in, and even if i got oxfam i still dont have a way there. radiator fan broke...managed to nurse it home without further damage to the engine.

[elena20]

that sucks so much ....i think im gonna start crying.......thats terrible:cry:

[talkingonsquareone89]

oh my gosh, i'm really sorry for what happened...:cry:

any way you could refund the ticket or something (did you buy that ticket insurance during the sale)?

[LVI56]

I dont remember if i got the insurance, the fine print says no refunds or exchanges...i assume there is nothing to do but hope some of you have an idea.

[CRYSTAL]

i really feel sad for what ever happened with you.:(

[Ebs757]

I'm really sorry that sucks so bad!

Anyone have an idea of when the LA coldplayers will be signing on to tell us how awesome it was tonight? I can't wait to see the goods

[talkingonsquareone89]

hmmm if you still really want to go....
-right now there's still tickets available on Ticketmaster (and have at it)
-public transportation to The Forum
-or head to The Forum really early, and see what tickets are available sans scalping. :\


sorry, i think that's all the ideas i could come up within reason.

[elena20]

hopefully a long time from now cause that means the concert lasted a long time and thats good..............

[talkingonsquareone89]

my guess....as early as 11PM-ish

for those who are volunteering w/ Oxfam....probably near till midnight.

[NeSs1776]

i could of gone but i didnt want to the forum is too ghetto lol plus i want to see them at the hollywood bowl whenever thats gonna be!!!

[Ebs757]

hopefully a long time from now cause that means the concert lasted a long time and thats good..............
Yeah good point. I'm so glad they are playing the scientist and speed of sound. I'm not sure if I want to wake up and go through 20 pages of reviews off the bat tho :confused:

[strawberryfields]

^You must not be that big of a fan, then! :rolleyes: If you had the choice and didn't go... ahhh! :stunned:

I can't wait to see what the people who get back tonight say about the show, though. :D

[strawberryfields]

Yeah good point. I'm so glad they are playing the scientist and speed of sound. I'm not sure if I want to wake up and go through 20 pages of reviews off the bat tho :confused:

Haha, that's why I'm definitely going to stay up until the first person gets home and writes a review. :P

[elena20]

Haha, that's why I'm definitely going to stay up until the first person gets home and writes a review. :P

haha me too............i cant wait i just hope its a great concert

[strawberryfields]

^It will be! I can feel it. :wacko:

[Ebs757]

Good plan haha I can't wait. The blog that was just written really makes it sound like this is going to be the real deal tonight and the free shows were just a taste... Striped down version of Speed of Sound and the Scientist!? this is going to be an intense wait

[strawberryfields]

Ahhh, I want them to come home NOW! I mean, I'm so excited that I WANT it to be over. :P

[ZapShazam]

I've got to wake up in five and a half hours, but I'll be damned if I'm not staying up waiting for the first review.

[elena20]

Ahhh, I want them to come home NOW! I mean, I'm so excited that I WANT it to be over. :P

i want that too:cry:......but the longer the concert the better:)

[TwistedLogic88]

I want to see the setlist....

[strawberryfields]

i want that too:cry:......but the longer the concert the better:)

Very true. ;)

Seriously, though, I need SOMEONE to get home! :stunned:

[Ebs757]

Seriously, though, I need SOMEONE to get home! :stunned:

We all do

[talkingonsquareone89]

((but it's going to ruin the surprise for tomorrow :embarassed:))

[elena20]

[Ultravioletlight25]

LOL! I am anxious as well to find out what happened tonight. I can't wait to see the setlist :D

[talkingonsquareone89]

(comeoncomeoncomeon hurry up!)

[jcmojica23]

i dont know if i want to know the setlist i want it to be a surprise for me tomorrow night

[elena20]

[talkingonsquareone89]

well hopefully at every concert they change the setlist
ahhh i hope so too! that would make the tour + gigs even better

[Spatel1305]

its not over yet?!?!

[elena20]

^^ not that we know of

[talkingonsquareone89]

should be over by now. LA also has a concert curfew. :thinking:

[Spatel1305]

yeaaa its 1AM here where i am!!
maybe they got tired after such an AMAZING concert and went to bed??

[cs09viking]

...and give us a realtime setlist....

(hitting refresh every 30 secs)

[elena20]

when did the concert start not the opening act but them anybody know

[talkingonsquareone89]

i say another 5-10 minutes or so.

[talkingonsquareone89]

when did the concer start not the opening act but them anybody know
7:30-ish, like the ticket says....?

[IgnitedBones]

What time is the concert curfew there?

[elena20]

sooooooooo the concert lasted about maybe 2 1/2 hours or more

[cs09viking]

are u serious....is there really a concert curfew in LA?

[Spatel1305]

probably 12pm thats how it usually is

[talkingonsquareone89]

let's see....

from what i remember concerts in LA should end around 10:30 - 11pm-ish

LA traffic is always a disaster, so maybe some of them are stuck?

that or some of them are hungry and getting a late-night bite at somewhere else. :laugh3:

[Carlaatje]

dudes, i went to bed last night and now i'm up for work and it's still not over?!
i got 15 minutes before I have to leave.. some one get here quick!

[i heart chrismartin]

[Spatel1305]

[talkingonsquareone89]

woohoo "Lost!" is on!

[elena20]

^^ all i hear is in my place

**edit**: nevermind

[IneedYou23]

for some reason the player isnt working for me

[SanD123]

These live tracks are all from KROQ's Almost Acoustic Xmas a few years ago, and the venue was small, hence the crowd sounding small.

[Spatel1305]

^^^^
good point
because on their new tracks their is no crowd

[talkingonsquareone89]

for those outside SoCal and are listening to the webstream:

THERE'S A 1 MINUTE DELAY!

(right now, "Lost!" is playing)

[IgnitedBones]

Yeah, I didn't think of that. That makes sense.

*EDIT* I was going to mention that. In My Place was still playing here when you guys were listening to Lost!

[talkingonsquareone89]

"Fix Youuuu"

[TwistedLogic88]

Fix You is now on

[Spatel1305]

[talkingonsquareone89]

[Ebs757]

We all do

What good are iPhones and Blackberrys if people aren't using them to update all the suckers at home?

I know right! Surely at least half of them have the most expensive phone out!

[hinser]

Any word what so ever of a setlist? Here in Philly - when ever there is a concert a few of the stations automatically go through the setlist verbally dishing the songs out to the peeps who couldn't get in to see the group. They do it for any sold out show: Pearl Jam, U2, etc. No word yet? C'mon LA...get it done!!

[talkingonsquareone89]

LMAO it's LA...i assume there'll be plenty of Blackberrys/iPhones usage

[knectthedots]

Nothing can stop me from going! lol. I won 8th row seats from ticketmaster! I'm going to try to camp out at the venue in the small chance of actually meeting them.

[Carlaatje]

shit i have to go
I'm already late!

[elena20]

i bet there alot of celebrities there.......

[strawberryfields]

ARGHHH. I logged back on and saw about 10 new pages on this thread, so I thought someone had arrived home!

But just you guys waiting. *sigh* :P

[talkingonsquareone89]

knectthedots: OH, well in that case!...:D

[elena20]

ARGHHH. I logged back on and saw about 10 new pages on this thread, so I thought someone had arrived home!

But just you guys waiting. *sigh* :P

haha yup.........were all waiting

[talkingonsquareone89]

"Lovers in Japan"

OH MAN THEY BETTER HAD DONE THE CONFETTI DURING THIS SONG! :)

[hinser]

I got ripped off. I have tickets to the Philly show and thought I'd see them for the first show on the tour. Now I have to wait for two weeks until they get back to the East Coast. Now where is tonight's setlist???

[strawberryfields]

SOMEONE HAS TO BE HOME! AHHH! I'M GOING INSANE! It's midnight, people. They better not be in bed. :o

[talkingonsquareone89]

they must be laughing at us right now....grr

[elena20]

is this on the radio or just the website

[IgnitedBones]

I swear, If they all went to bed... :lol:

[strawberryfields]

I swear, If they all went to bed... :lol:

I'll kill someone, really. :shocked3::veryangry2:

[talkingonsquareone89]

"Yelloooooow"

(damnit, HURRY UP NOOOW. I'm already going crazy for the concert LATER TONIGHT!! :laugh3:)

[elena20]

people need to hurry because strawberryfields will kill someone:stunned:

[talkingonsquareone89]

that's it...

FIRST REPORT ON THE CONCERT WINS A BASKET FULL OF FRESH-BAKED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!

[strawberryfields]

people need to hurry because strawberryfields will kill someone:stunned:

:laugh3:

[ZapShazam]

Oh man... I'm fading fast. I'm in Minnesota so it's now two in the morning, but argh! Come on, Californians! Don't leave us waiting until... well, later in the day I guess.

And aw, Yellow! In my sleep-deprived state I'm pretty sure this song is going to bring the waterworks just for the fact that I'm barely coherent.

[IgnitedBones]

Excuse me, it's 3:04 A.M. here. If anyone should be complaining... :lol:

[hinser]

It's 3am in Philly - I'm almost on the way to bed. I have to be at work in 7 hours!! C'mon LA - setlist please!!

[Jenjie]

this is no good. I'm sat in work with half an hour til i start and I really need some reviews to post on Wiki :cry:

time differences suck :laugh3:

[elena20]

:laugh3:

:stunned:ur laughing cause u know its TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

[strawberryfields]

Haha, well, it's only midnight here... but I have to wake up at 5 AM! :dozey:

[talkingonsquareone89]

ohmygoodness

and i thought i was losing it...:dozey:


;)

[guster]

maybe this is a good sign
maybe the full setlist is just soo longggg

[hinser]

I'm searching all over the web too for the setlist - nothing. Maybe they took everyone out for ice cream? Possible..right?

[strawberryfields]

:stunned:ur laughing cause u know its TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

No.... only if I'm REALLY desperate. :sneaky:

[elena20]

maybe this is a good sign
maybe the full setlist is just soo longggg

good point :)
