does anyone know whats the deal with the presale for this concert date? best buy reward zone says the presale is on the 19 of june but it doesnt even show up in ticketmaster as having a presale. I dont know. anyone?

[clockpolitiks]

Anybody get tix today?

[beantech]

just gave up floor sec 9, 3rd row...which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy in the back

[wembley]

I got floor sec 4 row n. seems like pretty good seats.

I might have to get 3 tickets so will need to check out Saturdays general sale

cheers
wembley

[beantech]

sec 3 coming up if just 1 tix is selected...

...but seriously, over $100 for the very back of the floor? Don't think so

[beantech]

I got floor sec 4 row n. seems like pretty good seats.

I might have to get 3 tickets so will need to check out Saturdays general sale

cheers
wembley

Not bad...just a bit in front of the sec 9 that is coming up now.
But for a presale, they seem pretty crappy to me.
If I'm gonna be that far back, I'd rather be elevated a bit on the lower level.

In the seating charts I've read there is another group of scetions behind section 4 (sections 6,7 and 8) before section 9. Also that row N = 14th row from front.

Anyone familiar with the venue. Does this sound right?

wembley

[beantech]

1 2 3 are front 3 secs
4 5 6 are middle secs
7 8 9 are back

Row N in sec 4 is 14 rows from the front of that section.
Then you have another 21 rows in front of you from the front sections (1 2 3 ).
So Row N in Sec 4 is about 35 rows back.

[wembley]

Actually looks like thats a different fllor plan. seems like rown sec 4 is 24th row

http://www.bankatlanticcenter.com/assets/events/mapENDSTAGE.jpg

All Seats run from right to left if sitting in seat, looking at the stage.
- For End Stage Concert Setup -
Front Floor (1&2) Rows run A-K. After row F, there is a row FF for disabled seating. There is no row "I" in either section. Each row is 22 seats wide.

Floor (3-5) Rows run A-M. There is no row "I" in any section. Each row is 14 seats wide.

cheers
wembley

[beantech]

The chart you linked is just the generic endstage setup.
That's not correct for this show.
The one I linked is what shows up on the presale page when you select your tix.
It's unique because they have 2 little 'runways' on each side of the stage.

[wembley]

thanks

[karen13v]

im guessing section 2 didnt come up at all?

[TomCayman]

I need three seats for FLL so no BestBuy for me.

I'm taking my 14 and 11 year old boys with me (ssh ! don't tell them :) ), and as they are vertically challenged, floor seats don't sound like a good idea, even if they are still there tomorrow morning.

I figure anything in 101-103 or 118-115 is about the best (again, if they come up), anyone know the arena and can comment ?

BTW, last tour had lawn tkts at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa... wonderful cool evening, loved laying back on the lawn waiting for the main event... but it was too quiet !... apparently major noise abatement issues there... sheesh, if you can hear yourself sing along, it ain't loud enough !

[JustSpies84]

Just got a decent seat; I guess I can't complain. I think they're better seats than the last time I saw them, section 102, row 1

Does anyone know if they tend to re-sell quickly? I'm only asking because some crazy emergency might come up and I won't be able to make it.

And I know this is probably not the place to do it, but screw Ticketmaster and their outrageous "convenience" fees! This ticket would have cost me less than $100 if it wasn't for all that extra crap they add on to make money for themselves!

Roll on November!

[TomCayman]

Sounds like excellent seats.

I got s105, but I guess as I needed three seats, that would explain why I'm quite a few rows back from the front, but still lower level, so happy enough with that.

All the fees are nuts, but it's a monopoly, nothing we can do about it but suck it up.

$349 for three seats.... no concessions for kids either :)

[KelKell]

I got tickets sec 6 row L in the middle
Now off to look for Hotels :wideeyed:

[TwistedLogic88]

I got a pair in Section 111 Row 9. Im pretty content with the tickets... but almost $250! I cant wait! Sunrise is like an hour away from where I live.

[KelKell]

yep,most Ive payed for a concert but I love them live so it is worth it :)

[JustSpies84]

Tom, your kids are not going to want any concessions, 'cos the show is going to be that amazing. If I had kids, I'd be taking them too!

And KelKell, do you live in Central Florida? 'Cos it takes me about three hours to get to Sunrise. Right about now I am wishing I was still in college in Miami, just because of the convenience, lol.

My friend semi-pressured me to go to the BankAtlantic Center with him last week to see The Cure. That drive was a pain, but The Cure played one of the longest sets of any band I have ever seen live. I hope Coldplay gives them a run for their money and plays just as long! I can't believe I'm seeing them again. I'm trying to wrap my head around it.

I hope everyone going has fun. I know it's months away, but still..Have fun!

[karen13v]

section 5 row J - i'm super excited :D

i've never been to the bank atlantic center. i hope its good.

[chileandude1]

i got in section 117. 3 tickets.

how do you get in section 1-8

[KelKell]

I live in NE Florida,wouldve liked to go to Orlando but that wont happen so it looks like a lil trip for me! :)

[KelKell]

[beantech]

Where are your seats Kel?

I passed on floor tix in the back during the presale, but if you have some closer I would be interested.

[airieslady]

Section 118 row A... Now we can bring our banner! The one we were originally taking to Philly but that got all messed up with the date change. It just is so frickin expensive!!!! Staying at LaQuinta right down the road... anyone else staying there?

[gabrielexposito]

anyone in section 114?

[I Love Chris Martin]

has anyone heard of/seen/gotten any of the front floor sections?? Im just wondering where all these seats are, i dont see many in the first 10 rows on ticket agencies or ebay...

[airieslady]

Yeh, I notice that too! Both for Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale. Maybe the band and promoters have them reserved! If they don't fill them up, they might put them on day of or right before. That has happened alot lately. I checked day of for Tampa RH and got in front section. I offed my other ticket at gates. I have done this on several occasions, so wouldn't be surprised if tickets showed up at last minute.

[I Love Chris Martin]

yeah im really hoping that happens for the miami show!

[mysongislove1915]

I still haven't bought tickets, because of one of my friends, but we're definitely planning on going. =) We've been wanting to see them since forever. I'm trying to find some that aren't super expensive, but not in what I like to call the "Nosebleed Section". lol. The problem with some is that it's really hard to find three seats together. I'm mostly looking between Sections 114-121. Any thoughts?

[melanieau]

well...i was not considering this date before...but I hear the Miami area is nice:D

[Chavi]

well...i was not considering this date before...but I hear the Miami area is nice:D

you're turning into a show ho ! :P it's addictive, isnt it ?

[melanieau]

Alright...who's got some info about tickets for this show?? Any decent tix are going for an insane amount of money...

[Rhianna]

well...i was not considering this date before...but I hear the Miami area is nice:D

I'm having the same thought. I'll already be in Orlando and honestly it's not that far, right?

[karen13v]

I'm having the same thought. I'll already be in Orlando and honestly it's not that far, right?

Nah.. three hour drive with no stops.

[melanieau]

shouldn't be bad from Orlando...its too bad we won't know until closer to time if they are going to release some more tickets to this one...fingers crossed for Oxfam...

[bta5857]

I have one extra ticket for this show in Sect 118 Row 1. PM me if you're interested.

[melanieau]

I have one extra ticket for this show in Sect 118 Row 1. PM me if you're interested.

PM sent;)

[Rhianna]

Nah.. three hour drive with no stops.

Yeah I'm from Jacksonville so it wouldn't be that bad either since Ft. Lauderdale back to Jacksonville is pretty much a straight shot up 95.

However for me there's a slight possibility I might be going to the Atlanta show so I pretty much have to rely upon Ticketmaster releasing more tickets closer to the date otherwise I could end up with a ticket for Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale and then Atlanta and that drive...not fun at all.

but for Coldplay......totally worth it..;)


its too bad about this show...i'm pretty sure that scalpers have the majority of the tickets...

So very worth it. Somehow my mother decided she wanted to join me for the Orlando show though so I have doubts about her desire to do it. When I told her my plan of arena stalking before the show she was less than enthused and didn't want to leave me to do it myself. I'm 19, I can indeed handle myself if she doesn't want to join in the fun. I'll be there at least. ;)

It really does seem that the scalpers have the majority of these tickets. I've been keeping an eye on what Ticketmaster has available for quite awhile and I haven't seen anything good come up. Plus everything on other sources is just ridiculous. It's disappointing.

[oldplayer]

who is the opening/supporting act?

[mysongislove1915]

Ok, I'm looking for Coldplay tickets again. =P Anyone? The good ones are going fast and they're getting more expensive.

[melanieau]

Snap one up before they are gone!!

Oh and 79 days to go...

[mysongislove1915]

Snap one up before they are gone!!

Oh and 79 days to go...
Ha, yeah. =) There's still good seats, but I'm still trying to figure out who to go with before I buy the tickets. That's my problem.

[melanieau]

74 days.......

[airieslady]

Doin this one too! :)

[melanieau]

Got your seats yet???

[airieslady]

[melanieau]

[airieslady]

No, this is the only one I haven't been to. Staying right down the road at LaQuinta.

[melanieau]

[TwistedLogic88]

[Fan in Cayman Islands]

Have two tix in Sec 121, Row 22 - See link below

https://www.ticketmaster.com/seatingchart_secure/107150/23809/

Selling at my cost only - i.e. face value of US$97.50, plus about US$16 in Ticketmaster service fees - as I had two people cancel on our road trip recently and am otherwise "stuck" with two great tickets I cannot use .

The only complication is that the tickets are at the will call window (I ordered internationally) and so I will only have my hands on them the day of the concert. We'll need to make arrangements to meet and/or trade cell numbers if you want the tickets. I am a fan (am travelling from the Cayman Islands to go to the concert), so I assure you that I will not try to up the price on the tickets or otherwise pull any tricks. I am only looking to recoup my expenses for the seats.

Anyone interested? Email me at noahmonkey@hotmail.com

If you're like me, you've got a bone to pick with Ticketmaster. "Convenience" charges (which aren't waived if you physically go to the box office, fyi)? And for each ticket? Is it really so much harder to stuff two into an envelope instead of one? Point is, even before economical hard times, I stopped going to concerts unless a) Ticketmaster wasn't involved, b) I would kick myself really hard for the rest of my life if I didn't see X band/musician or c) I get to go for free.

If you'll kick yourself if you don't go to this Sunday's Coldplay concert at the BankAtlantic Center, but don't want to sell your plasma for tix, Miami.com and BankAtlantic (did you know they're open 7 days a week?) might have a solution. All you have to do is tune into The Link tomorrow (that would be Thursday), during which Toni and J.R. will ask a Coldplay trivia question. Email editor@miami.com with the answer, along with your name, age, email address and phone number -- if you're one of the first six to reply, you've got yourself two tix.

And these aren't vertigo-inducing, I-can-see-bats-in-the-rafters-from-here tix. These are tix for the Miami.com/BankAtlantic SUITE. Cushy seats, line-free booze ordering and no jack-arse in front of you thinking everyone would rather hear his version of "Yellow." Instead, you'll be surrounded by your fellow uber-cool Miami.com users.

I'm pretty sure even Apple would agree these are good seats. Though I guess Gwenyth's lap is pretty nice, too.

Chris Martin realizes Coldplay has some critics, but that's not stopping him from living la Vida.

Chris Martin was working out the knots. As his handlers hovered, the usually affable Coldplay singer stretched out on the carpet in a dim and airless room backstage at the Jimmy Kimmel show. It was hours before showtime and the singer's muscles were tight and his expression sour. Finally, he looked up with pleading eyes. "Can we escape? Let's go somewhere else. Maybe some place with trees? I have a car and a driver ..."

A few minutes later, the lanky Brit ducked through an alleyway behind the talk show's Hollywood Boulevard studios and climbed into an ebony SUV that whisked him and his visitor up the hill to Griffith Park. "This looks good," he said, tapping the window. "Yes, let's stop here." As soon as his sneakers hit the grass, the black-clad Martin was as perky as the Labrador that trotted past him on a path. Enough so that he started making confessions and jokes which, for him, are hard to separate.

"Like millions of people in the world, I can't listen to Coldplay," Martin said with a daft wink. "But my reason is professional. You see, I'm always thinking about the next thing. I'm also always looking for something that will inspire the next thing. Look, we're the one band we can't plagiarize. So really there's no point in me listening to it. If I think, 'Well, that's good,' then I'll want to use it, which won't work. And if I think, 'Hey that's terrible,' then I'll be depressed over breakfast. It's a classic lose-lose situation."

If you listen to Coldplay — and many people do, considering the 11.2 million albums they've sold in the United States alone — then you already know that Martin is an earnest voice in an ironic age. That has opened the band up to savage insults (Noel Gallagher once sneered that they were "four Didos with willies") but instead of retreating, Martin decided to join in the sport. No one gives Chris Martin more grief these days than Martin himself. He makes fun of his hair, clothes, diet and famous falsetto. He even mocks himself for thinking, deep-down, that he's cool for not being cool: "We've never been about being cool and we never will be. And I think in a way that's quite cool. But I can't think about it too much — because if you think about it then you automatically aren't cool. Wait, I've gone too far. I'm not cool. Again."

Coldplay has a new album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, which arrived with considerable heat. The lead single, Viva la Vida, hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and, at iTunes, the pre-orders for the album were the largest in the history of the digital merchant. The band became famous for polished, piano-based songs of soaring pop exultation and rainy-day reflection, but with this new studio album, their fourth, they have made a bid at reinvention. The songs are still from the heart but maybe more from the gut.

No matter what, Coldplay, booked Sunday at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, won't be able to win over a certain constituency that, frankly, has detested them too much and for too long to start listening now. Jon Pareles of The New York Times once called them the "most insufferable band of the decade," which might say less about the band and more about how fashionable it has become to slag them. Martin said it's because he wears his heart on his sleeve when he sings. "If you allow yourself to be vulnerable in your music, people will feel it a lot more," Martin said. "But a lot more people will also hate it or mock it. It's almost like a deal with the devil, but I'm happy to take that deal. It doesn't feel right to me to sing about stuff I don't believe in."

Campus catalyst

In September 1996, a shy freshman named Jonny Buckland, fresh from a Welsh town called Mold, arrived with his acoustic guitar at University College London. His plan was to look at the stars (he was studying astronomy) but his life took a different path when, during orientation week, he met Martin, a gangly kid from leafy Devon, who coaxed him into a music partnership.

They would be joined by bassist Guy Berryman, a handsome Scot who came to the university to study engineering. He had heard Martin's amateur attempts at songwriting and, after a few rounds at a pub, lurched across the room and demanded membership in the band. Will Champion, an anthropology student who knew more about tribes than he did drums, was brought in to keep the beat. They called themselves Starfish, but the name didn't stick. They pinched a better one from Child's Reflections, Cold Play, a 1997 collection by American poet Philip Horky.

Their 2000 debut album, Parachutes, yielded the yearning, breakthrough hit Yellow and the 2002 follow-up, A Rush of Blood to the Head, came with a flurry of hit singles: In My Place, Clocks and The Scientist. That's when things got complicated. Relentless tour dates, the tug of their personal lives and the turbulence of success put Coldplay in a shaky place.

The members say they felt pressured by their label, EMI/Capitol Records, to create a followup with similar scope and sound. The album was delayed and EMI's stock dropped (literally) as a result, turning up the tension. The result was X&Y, a 2005 album that sold well but, in the band's view, lacked clarity.

To steady themselves, Martin said, Coldplay looked for a place to "make it homemade again." They found it in a blind alley in London.

"We found this little bakery, and we bought it and turned it into a, well, it's like a youth club," Martin said. "Do you read the Harry Potter books? It's a bit like that train stop they use, the platform 9 3/4, which you can't find unless you know where it is. If you drive by quickly, it doesn't look like anything is there. If you go in, it's like a little band heaven. Everything is hand-painted. There was a dartboard, but it's gone now. We banned some of the leisure activities. The last thing you need when you're trying to reinvent yourself is a pool table. Drummers tend to love pool more than they love drumming. It's a bigger stick."

Uniform appeal

The group also rang up Stella McCartney for some guidance in creating uniforms. Their vision was to create a look for themselves that was a mix of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and a rag-tag Salvation Army quintet. A Norwegian tailor made jackets and trousers, which they individualized with ribbons and piping.

"It's a little nerdy, but we turned into seamstresses for a few days," Martin said. "It's a nice feeling to wear clothes you really had a hand in. It's the closest we'll get to Roc-A-Wear, I think. It's not an original idea, but it's a good one. The Clash did it and Green Day did it. Adam Ant. Lots of people. It makes you feel more like a performer."

There's also a brother-in-arms message: "I think with each band there comes a point where they have to find a place to be together, otherwise they end up living in different countries and just meet on stage. When you get famous, there are two reactions to your other band mates. You either think, 'I could do this without you.' Or you think, 'I really couldn't do this without you.' You're luckier if you are in the second category. We've always been very grateful for each other."

Okay so I entered for the Miami.com contest for two tickets to Coldplay on Sunday, November 9th. I magically appeared on the site exactly when the contest started and I was the first email chosen.

SO with that being said I cant find anybody to go with me due to sceduling, travel, whatever. Is there anybody in the miami area that would like to sit in box seats (IN A SUITE) for the show at the Miami BankAtlantic Center Show. I would assume a seat like this goes for $1000+. I am a broke college student that lives 14 hours away int he car, so airfare is my only option. If I cant afford it, I will end up giving it away.

But, I am set on going. Please pm me or post or call me 843-384-1598 if you are interested.

[Lore]

I'd be interested but I'm too far :bigcry:

[jo_saw_sparks]

i wish i lived in miami =[
i hope you get to go!!!

[karen13v]

awe I hope you're able to go! I'm going to that one!

[gmalool]

I will be mighty depressed if I can't.

[karen13v]

are you trying to sell them or what? I dont really understand.

[gmalool]

No Im keeping mine. But airfare is mad expensive. Maybe even if I got a little compensation. I was thinking that mostly all of the miami people already tickets so idk.

[strawberryfields]

I'm too far away too. :bigcry: Sorry, can't help! Try cragislist.com, though.

[roche714]

go onto the coldplay live section.There's a thread for people going to that concert.

[Mig-El]

wow you're really lucky!!!! I envy you

[gmalool]

I'll be extremely down if I cant get anyone to go with me...

[Night over London]

I would seriously go if I could...a chance to see Coldplay in concert on my birthday? :bigcry: Damn living on Hawaii.

Hope you're able to find someone to go with though. And that the both of you have a good time. ;) Congrats!

[LiquidSky]

when it's the concert again? Are you staying at Miami or are you leaving right away?

[gmalool]

when it's the concert again? Are you staying at Miami or are you leaving right away?

My tentative flight would leave on Monday, so yes I would be staying the night. :)

[gmalool]

Its on a Sunday.

[gmalool]

November 9th. 7:30

[LiquidSky]

oh it's this weekend???! Blah!! You should have told me a before. Yeah sorry, I can't go :( I thought it was next weekend.

[gmalool]

DAMNIT

[LiquidSky]

I'm sure you'll find someone :/

[gmalool]

I need to. Can't let the second tick go to waste. "What could be worse"

[edward_kingdom]

;___;!!!!

this is unfair!!!

I would have liked to go!!! but one week it's a really short time for getting a flight and everything prepared ;_; and I should also ask for permission in my job...

But I know there are many people that can go with you! So, good luck with your searching!!!

and congratulations ;)!!!

[gmalool]

Just listed it on eBay.

[helokity623]

Do you happen to know where the suite is located or section #?

[gmalool]

Do you happen to know where the suite is located or section #?

No. I would assume its the Miami.com suite if that helps. They didnt disclose the exact number though.

[TomCayman]

Ok, so showtime is 7:30pm, but when will Coldplay take the stage ?

Having a drama getting there.. live in Cayman and sitting here with HUrricane Paloma... have rebooked my flights several times now as the storm forecast changed... even got to the airport to board a flight before the airport closed.. but then that flight (the last one scheduled) was xld as the weather closed in.

So... called AA and rebooked for Sunday lunchtime.. hopefully airport back up and running normally.. but.. if not, need to know how much time I can allow in case of delays and still see the band... fair to say they won't go on stage before 9pm ?

[busybeeburns]

some shows have started at 8.30-8.45pm from what I've read. Better not leave it until 9 just in case

[karen13v]

Just listed it on eBay.

really hope someone buys it off you! I'm sure they will... no worries.

two more days!

While I'll conceal my own personal feelings towards the band (I think you can guess), I have to grit my teeth and admit that Coldplay are still one of the biggest bands in the world right now.

Enough so, that when they come to town, it's always newsworthy. So I couldn't in good conscience ignore it. For those who don't know, Coldplay play a non-offensive brand of arena-ready bombastic rock anthems that have been compared to Jeff Buckley and Echo and the Bunnymen, but in reality are more comparable to Rod Stewart and Peter Gabriel. Oh, and U2. It's impossible to forget U2, what with Chris Martin's Bono Complex.

So get out your lighters (or more likely, cell phones) and get ready to soft rock! Coldplay play Sunday at BankAtlantic Center.

^ no idea why they added the wrong date the the image :dozey:

[karen13v]

says parking is $20. Is this true? Have any of you been to a concert there?

[Christa1]

It was $15 in jersey so that seems a bit steep for Fla.

oh jeez, everyone have a great time tomorrow

Roadie #42 - Blog #50
November 9, 2008 10:03 am
In which #42 reaches his half-century

Chris bounds up to me on the journey into Orlando with a new setlst. It's been quite a while since we've played Setlist Twister. The start of this tour often felt like trying to ride a malfunctioning mechanical bull and then, all of a sudden, seemingly out of completely nowhere, things settled into a definitive form.

The current setlist is pretty much engraved into everyone on the crew's brains. The endings to songs trigger mental flags that it's time to carry out the necessary steps to be ready for the next one. As I've said before though, familiarity and repetition can become a little tiring. The show has got stronger and stronger night upon night in terms of the band's performance, but you can't beat a nice shake-up to keep everyone interested.

The new setlist relies on some elements that we don't have here yet, which means that we won't be descending into chaos tonight. In fact, potential for chaos is nicely deflated as the band call a production meeting on stage at the end of soundcheck. It only becomes apparent how much is involved in the gig now when the crowd of people affected by the changes begins to assemble on stage.

This is also only the 'immediate crew' and the department heads, but questions fly thick and fast: "If that song is going to follow this one, the balls are going to be in this position - what do you want on them in the change?", "Which mic are you going to sing at if you're finishing that song on guitar and then going straight to the piano?", "Do you want the longer intro version of that song to give you time to get from here to there, or are we going to go back to the old version?", "Is the piano going to stay out between this song and this one, or do you want it out of the way?" and so it goes on.

It's all minute tiny details, but they're exactly the kind of thing that could trip everyone up if they're not addressed in advance. The informal "round table" approach with the band and crew began in the studio - before rehearsals even began for this tour. Full and open communication between band and crew has been invaluable in getting a lot done quickly and that's what we're trying to do here. I won't spoil the surprise and tell you what the new setlist involves, but I think you'll like it and rest assured, when things finally fall into place, you'll be hearing about it here!

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/512/Meeting.jpg

Getting to sunny Florida in November is a treat for a bunch of British roadies accustomed to cold grey weather in the winter months. Today, Will's drumtech Bash tells me of a surfing trip on the day off yesterday. This is all down to Brook, who is the guy who fires all that wonderful butterfly confetti each night. When I first met Brook, I remarked to someone that he was the most Californian person I had ever met - ever. I was quickly informed though, that he hails from down here in Florida. Never was particularly good with geography...

Being as he's on home turf tonight, I figured now's a good time to talk about his butterflies. They are a huge high point on the show, obviously and it's quite possible that the band get the best view of them each night - being as they're looking down the room right into them. The most amazing thing about them is that they get into absolutely everything. Open any flightcase and there'll be at least one in there somewhere, they're in every drawer and every toolbox around the venue. If you leave anything open, they'll get in there before Lovers In Japan draws to a close.

Every night, the fans in the moving lights are blown through with a "leaf blower" to keep them clear for the next day. I'm reliably informed that at Front Of House (roadie glossary: the enclosure in the crowd where the sound, lighting and video desks are) there is usually a frenzy of "wafting" to keep the little critters out of the mixing desks. One of the sound crew apparently even used to blow across the desk to keep them away. Quite whether this was out of dogged determination or out of a desire to amuse himself, I'm not sure.

My personal favourite butterfly experience has to be coming home for some days off during the European tour and opening my paperback for some bedtime reading hundreds of miles away - only to have one of the luminous little buggers gently drop from between the pages. Given that I'm actually UNDERNEATH the stage while they're making their descent I still cannot work out how it got there. All good fun. And I have to say, I'm slightly envious of the fact that Brook gets to tell people he fires butterflies out of a canon for a living....

Here's the drumkit before the encore last night.

Here's hoping! :D

We're setting off on the three hour drive soon, poor British Mich will melt in the heat. We'll try and keep you guys updated re: The Setlist. :D

[busybeeburns]

3 hours drive is the length of the UK :o :laugh3:

[Julie]

:lol:
you guys are lucky, you might get to see a new setlist

[Jenjie]

Here's hoping! :D

We're setting off on the three hour drive soon, poor British Mich will melt in the heat. We'll try and keep you guys updated re: The Setlist. :D

no air con in the car? :stunned:

[chileandude1]

I'm ready to go. I live in miami so it's about 45 miles away depending on traffic. I wanna see them real bad. Anyone have an idea where they might stay at? I'll love to go to the hotel and see them.

[CookyMnstr]

So Roadie#42 (http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=195)'s new post says something about working out a change to the setlist. MMMaybe it'll be tonight!?!?:wideeyed:

[Lore]

Here's hoping! :D

have lots of fun Mimicita :kiss:

[CookyMnstr]

Mel texted me that they on the long drive now, and will text me when they arrive in Ft. Lauderdale. (I'll be gone for a bit, but will be back in time for showtime and will post anything Mel sends my way!:D See ya later...)

[jo_saw_sparks]

i hope they get the new setlist tonight!!

[JustSpies84]

I was in South Beach last night, and thought there would be a slight chance of running into the guys, but no chance. I wonder if they were hanging around there...

Still had fun though, and tonight should be another amazing one. I've officially travelled to see Coldplay, and I LOVE IT. I'm going alone tonight, which kind of stinks, but if I could go to every show, I would. Alone and all.

I hope everyone has fun tonight! If you see me, girl with yellow top, say hello if you want :)

(Also, the ticket says no cameras, but has anyone been hassled 'cos of that? I didn't take my camera with me to Orlando, so I don't know how strict that is.)

[busybeeburns]

look for the group with a Union Jack flag hanging around the arena early :P

(and take your camera, you'll regret it if you don't try;))

[deborahbr]

I hope they play new songs tonight.
Have fun, guys!

[Carlaatje]

no air con in the car? :stunned:

they have AWCO
all windows can open :P


shit looks like it's going to be a longgggg night for me! I wanna stay on and hear about the stalking!!!

[jo_saw_sparks]

im ready to go to this show vicariously through the girls :laugh2:
any news from them? are they there yet?

[Carlaatje]

Noeila where are you woith your live reports! get your butt in here!!!

[Carlaatje]

off to bed now... :( there'd better be stalking reports in the morning! :angry:

[Yangarin]

I don't think I can make it on time (7:30). Anyone knows at what time they actually start playing?

[busybeeburns]

probably need to be in your seat by no later that 8.15 to 8.30

[jo_saw_sparks]

[CookyMnstr]

OK, I'm here & reporting for duty!!!!!! Anyone around?!?!?:uhoh2:

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

......anything new???

[CookyMnstr]

mmkay well I was out all afternoon, but been in touch with Mel.

She texted me around 2pm that they were at the venue, a little bit later on she said more people with signs showed up (dunno how many, but it sounds like people having taking notes from The Stalkers LOL). Then last I heard, around 5, was that they were still stalking. Told her to let me know when anything interesting happens--and then I will in turn post here.

EDIT: Update! She just texted me that they're at their seats. "Staring at ramp o love. Gonna be porntastic!":laugh3:

[jo_saw_sparks]

mmkay well I was out all afternoon, but been in touch with Mel.

She texted me around 2pm that they were at the venue, and said i heart chrismartin was there as well, with a sign begging for tix.:thinking: Dunno if she was successful.

:laugh3:
ahhh i cant wait til the show starts! i really hope they get the new songs 42 talked about...

[CookyMnstr]

I know! <crosses fingers&toes>

I told Mel to call me during The Scientist, so maybe I can get a little bit of the show for myself. This is not like being there, but it's fun to know several thousands of Coldplay fans (including some of 'our own')are just about to experience a live show!

--hey Jo, are you listening to 101.9 now?

[jo_saw_sparks]

no why whats on

[jo_saw_sparks]

lol i just ran to the bathroom to find the station but its one of those dials and i couldnt get it... and the only radio in this house is in our bathroom. dont ask.

[CookyMnstr]

the 1hr take over w/ Chris from the other day...I'm writing songs down this time, 'cause I remember liking some of them and thinking of checking them out.

you can listen online (http://www.1019rxp.com/). that's how i listen (i could do it through radio, but it's in living room, and now i'm in bedroom w/ pc..PC wins LOL)

[jo_saw_sparks]

OOH im lsitening online now! YAY!

[jo_saw_sparks]

when did it start?

[jo_saw_sparks]

stupid dog had to choose NOW to need to go out -_-

[CookyMnstr]

at 7. but it's not really 1hr, i think it's goes to 2, or close.

from 6-7 they were playing Coldplay 10yrAnniversary Special, which I missed, but turns out it's the same one that was on Boston station the other day, so I just gonna look for it in MM and listen later....i think that one is lots of diff live songs tracking their career.

[jo_saw_sparks]

ahh yeah i just saw that on their website. am i being totally slow if i ask you what MM is? lol id like to look for it too

[CookyMnstr]

MM--MultiMedia, was i being a snob assuming youd know?:blush:

I don't usually go in there, but it's a fucking goldmine!

[jo_saw_sparks]

MM--MultiMedia, was i being a snob assuming youd know?:blush:

I don't usually go in there, but it's a fucking goldmine!
oh DUH lmaoo no youre not a snob, i just tend to blank out on pretty obvious things haha
actually im missing a few bsides onmy laptop cuz they just got lost (every river that they tried to cross....) somehow when i moved my stuff from my desktop. MM would prob be a good place for me to get em back. thanks for the idea :lol:

[CookyMnstr]

Mel just texted-"Sleepercar on"

[jo_saw_sparks]

ahhh yay! they started early! ive never heard their stuff, whatre they like?

[CookyMnstr]

Like I said I don't usually go in there, and I have no idea why...I just found Lore's "my uploads thread." And now I'm waiting for rapidshare to let me download Glantonbury2002:shout::computer:
:D

(So, umm I guess it's just you&me here, huh? LOL)
I've never checked Sleepercar out:shame:, so sorry can't tell ya hehe

[jo_saw_sparks]

haha yeah it looks like it... where is everyone!? its a sunday night, everybody should be home for crying out loud!

[SueDeNimes]

Hey, you're not alone!

But I'll go to bed now as I have to get up in 5 hours.

Just let me add this: Usually every time I go offline it starts to become really interesting about 10 minutes AFTER I went off.
My prediction is that it'll be similar now as well :lol:

Have fun everybody!! Be it at the concert or in front of your computers!
Good night!

[CookyMnstr]

yeah wth??? people have LIVES?!?!!?:o
better things to do than wait patiently for me to get/post live updates from a concert?!?:angry:

:P

(well, at least we've got each other hehehehe)

edit: good night Sue--stupid time difference! boo!:\

[BostonSportsTD]

Like I said I don't usually go in there, and I have no idea why...I just found Lore's "my uploads thread." And now I'm waiting for rapidshare to let me download Glantonbury2002:shout::computer:

cooky i happen to be hopped up on some soda too lol

soda + waiting around for coldplay show news + chris martin interview on the radio + 10 year anniversary downloading = good night =]

[CookyMnstr]

I know that's why I'm here waiting patiently tonight. Praying we get a new song, or even just a repeat of Glass of Water, I wouldn't mind. 'cause I know we'll get good vids;) But a debut of LITii would be awesome!

BostonSportsTD, you don't know how I wish I could somehow turn back time to Glastonbury 2002! and I guess I'd also have to rob a bank to be able to fly my butt over there, 'cause the me in 2002 was beyond broke LOL. So thank goodness for the lovely people around here who get their hands on these live bootlegs and are kind enough to upload for us to share:D

A RUSH OF VIDA (http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/member.php?u=34118)
I hope they play AMSTERDAM!
Ok, let's all concentrate and send the Amsterdam or new songs vibes toward FL. If we work together we can make it happen! LOL 1,2,3....<concentrates hard>

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

[jo_saw_sparks]

You have reached the download limit for free-users.
=[

[CookyMnstr]

[jo_saw_sparks]

oh yeah it says try again in about 6 minutes =]

[CookyMnstr]

apparently the lesson Coldplay teaches us is PATIENCE!
Patience to download....
Patience waiting for text updates...
Patience waiting for Prospekts March to come out...

[jo_saw_sparks]

patience waiting to meet Guy and marry him....

[Julie]

ok im excited for this show

[Julie]

lol, coldplay karma?

[jo_saw_sparks]

you dont know about coldplay karma?!

Coldplay Karma - the supernatural cause of all the good things that happen to the hardcore Coldplayers here. ie; getting upgraded to front row from the nosebleeds (by chris himself), meeting the band, etc.
youre familiar with star wars? i would say it's kind of like our Force =]

[CookyMnstr]

you have not heard of Coldplay Karma®?!?!:o

It's whatever it is that causes coldplayers to have great stuff happen to them!
You can see it all the time around here--from meeting the band, to winning contests to go see them, to seat upgrades, etc, just good luck surrounding Coldplay-related stuff. :D

Jo you said it perfectly! forget what I said...

[CookyMnstr]

Mel: Black nighty in place

(she means black see-thru curtain before LIT!):dance:

i think if we can mesh our 2 definitions we can have a legit entry for the Oxford Dictionary
or at least WikiColdplay?

[Julie]

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:
love it!
i wish could have some coldplaykarma:bigcry:

[CookyMnstr]

yes, Jo, we definitely should work on an "official" definition for ColdplayKarma:) 'cause it's a REAL thing, and there's those who are not aware!

Qtgurl777 now that you know....just wait, it'll come your way;) it might take a while, but you'll know when it hits ya!:D

[CookyMnstr]

MEL: JayZ on now!



I'm gonna say this now to get it outta the way. I love love love Mel for taking time out to text me, so we can all live vicariously:wacky:! Weeeeeeeee!:smash::dance:

(and now is when I put on my Coldplay Live@Munich!)

[jo_saw_sparks]

Coldplay Karma (n.)
1. the supernatural cause of all the good things that happen to the hardcore Coldplayers here. examples include, but are not limited to, winning Coldplay-related contests, getting your seats upgraded from the nosebleeds, getting your seats upgraded by Chris himself, and - the holy grail - meeting the band.
2. the Coldplayer's Force

[jo_saw_sparks]

GAH they started!!!

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

[CookyMnstr]

Oh and I told my roommate about the whole "synchronized concert listening" and I think she really thinks I lost it for good now! LOL

[Julie]

lol itll happen eventully
your right about coldplay teaching us to be patient
OMG is it regular LIT or LITii?

[CookyMnstr]

nah just regular LIT i'm pretty sure. i think there would be some four letter words in her text if it was new version:P

[jo_saw_sparks]

[jo_saw_sparks]

id probally start freaking out to!
id probally also die of happiness (is that possible?)

[jo_saw_sparks]

it SHOULD be!
so far my Coldplay Karma got me tickets to see them at their free show at MSG when i wasnt lucky enough to win them (takes a second to thank Tom for the million-and-one-th time)
and i dont want to sound greedy.. but im hoping it gets me to be a successful stalker next time they come around =)

[CookyMnstr]

MEL: SOS

[jo_saw_sparks]

[BostonSportsTD]

[jo_saw_sparks]

YAY cooky your siggy :D

[CookyMnstr]

No, it's probably the same list as usual (so far) now they're up to Speed of Sound

I'm sure if there's a new song in there, she'd let me know. SHE'D BETTER!!!! LOL

[Julie]

[jo_saw_sparks]

[Julie]

[CookyMnstr]

MEL: CoL

[CookyMnstr]
