[melanieau]

Wow! Good luck New York fans :D

I want to go so bad:cry::cry::cry:

My 8th row Chicago tix are helping to ease the pain:D

[Bonus_mosher]

Ian, how did coldplaying get the VIP passes?

coutesey at somebody in the coldplay camp?
does that mean they're aware we exist and are the biggest coldplay community?

that's so awesome for you americans.

[gem2505]

ooh good luck everyone! :)

for those of us not in the states... can we see it somehow?

[gem2505]

Great idea though! I wonder who had the idea? Is NBC responsible for it or Coldplay?

[girl_in_the_band_tshirt]

! aw no way :-D
all of these amazing opportunities. this is so sweet!
*desperately checking airfare. just in case.*

:P M.

[Cris_Santos]

That's extremely cool! :dance: Lucky people who can go! I'm pretty sure we'll be well represented!! :dance: :dance:

The 50 lucky ones could wear a Coldplaying.com T shirt!! That would be awesome! And we would identify all of them on TV in a much easier way! And the band could even say hi to Coldplaying.com again :P

[Cris_Santos]

double post - please mods!!

I really wish I could go! but to get tickets to NYC on Thursday being Monday today is really difficult!!! congrats on all you winners!

[CRYSTAL]

as far as i know Today show is something which's free and is on a first come first served basis.

am i right?

[clockpolitiks]

Wow, this is seriously the best band messageboard ever. I've never heard of a fan-site recieving this kind of special treatment.

[Ms Magpie]

New Yorkers, enjoy! :D

[Cris_Santos]

What's funny is that most of the ones able to apply are away to see CP at MSG :D

[gmalool]

What's funny is that most of the ones able to apply are away to see CP in MSG :D

True :laugh3: More for the rest of us. Even though Im not going to try since im down in SC. What time does the concert start tonight?

[Jenjie]

The cheapest flights I can find from the UK:

£821.75 Return tickets Heathrow to JFK via Reykjavik (expedia)

£824 Return Tickets Gatwick to Newark International direct (netflights.com)

£894 Return Manchester to Newark direct (netflights.com)

Pfft we got Credit Cards. I'll meet you at the airport Thursday 9am sharp :P

[ccsg]

What's funny is that most of the ones able to apply are away to see CP at MSG :D

Not true. I live in the area but did not get tickets to see them tonight at MSG. I tried so hard but it didn't work out for me, so I am very happy and excited about the opportunity.

[Cris_Santos]

Not true. I live in the area but did not get tickets to see them tonight at MSG. I tried so hard but it didn't work out for me, so I am very happy and excited about the opportunity.

Hmm so sad you didn't get tickets to MSG :(. But you'll have another chance ;) And even if you don't get VIP passes don't miss the show!

[Jenjie]

Pfft we got Credit Cards. I'll meet you at the airport Thursday 9am sharp :P

cool :D we'll leave ian behind. can def only afford 1 ticket at those prices :laugh3:

[RunForTheHills]

Wow, this is SO cool! I never thought the band would do something like that for us :D

Good luck to everyone who's going to apply! This is a truly great opportunity :nice:

[Mimixxx]

:lol:

Okay, just leave him a nice note :P

[icedude2010]

Oh my goodness!

[Stefan-C8]

Wow, awesome!

Anybody want to pay my flight ticket? :P

[Christa42]

Well this gives me hope because I didn't win for MSG tonight

[Texasluvsjonny]

*checks prices*
Flight + Hotel = $958
I could do that, but the contest doesn't end until late Wed and not sure I could still get that price on that day. Damn you Ian, end the bloody thing earlier.

[girl_in_the_band_tshirt]

Well this gives me hope because I didn't win for MSG tonight

ditto (: how amazing is this !

M.

[championmullo]

Any word on how many songs they'll play?

[girl_in_the_band_tshirt]

I'm not sure, but, its Coldplay - v.i.p. passes. I'll say its worth it no matter what.

(plus a chance to be a on TV. its winners all round) *smiles*

[TracieMorgan]

I HAVE TO WORK ON THE 27th!! LIFE IS SO CRUEL!!!:bigcry:

[girl_in_the_band_tshirt]

I HAVE TO WORK ON THE 27th!! LIFE IS SO CRUEL!!!:bigcry:

aw ack :/
hurry - clone yourself! mutant replicas would be totally worth it in the long run :confused:

[Lore]

I HAVE TO WORK ON THE 27th!! LIFE IS SO CRUEL!!!:bigcry:


invent some kind of weird disease...


then make sure to wear a mask or something just in case .. you might appear on tv :P

[busybeeburns]

:lol:

[Texasluvsjonny]

I HAVE TO WORK ON THE 27th!! LIFE IS SO CRUEL!!!:bigcry:So do I but here's my master plan:
Working the night of Wed the 25th, get off at 7am Thursday morning, drive directly to airport catch flight to NYC at 10am. Stay Thursday night at Rockefeller Hotel, perhaps some stalking at the Daily Show :wink3:. Get up at some ungodly AM hour Friday morning, (thank god I'm at a hotel at 30 Rock) see the show, avoid arrest for attacking Jonny :sneaky:, back to airport, flight back to Houston. Drive straight into work to there at 6:30pm. Simple. :smug:

[Lore]

avoid arrest for attacking Jonny :sneaky:,

:laugh3::laugh3:

good luck with that!

[Texasluvsjonny]

:laugh3::laugh3:

good luck with that!I'm crafty Lore

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

OH. MY. GOD.

:dead:

ok, i'm going anyway, but this would make my LIFE. my brain is spinning with what i would do if i win. i have to make this PM a good one...too bad i suck at talking about myself like i deserve to win. well, i'm going to try my damndest, because...:bomb:

[CRYSTAL]

i think the Today show organisers have to be carefull anyway because they've to first interview the band and then let them perform one or two of their songs and then let them go securely out.

Because they'll not be having time to show the rest of the news on Today.

[melanieau]

If anyone deserves this I think it has to be Chelsea!! I can see the sign in the crowd now:

HOLY MUFFINS!!

[pjoalfa]

I won tix to one of these things for Sting a couple of years back. While the number of songs will be few (4, 5 or 6 or so- only 2 or 3 go on air) I can assure you it is TOTALLY worth it. You get put in a section right next to the stage where they go in and out between commercials and interviews and you will get to interact with them (assuming they are willing). In our case with Sting, we got to get autographs and pics of him and all the band members, all signed my CD, and if you look carefully can find yourself on TV later. :)

GL everyone. :D

[Lore]

yeahhh, Chelsea totally deserves it :)

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

....interact....with them?!?!?

i thought that might be a possibility, but coming from someone who did the same thing...:dead:

MUST. NOT. GET. HOPES UP. i'll be too devastated if i lose.

[Lore]

whoever who wins should wear a "I love coldplaying.com" shirt :P

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

awwww, thanks mel and lore!! :nice: :D

now...care to send ian a PM saying that?
(kidding, kidding!!!!) :P

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

actually, because the VLV tshirt i ordered is backordered, and unless i can see my friend who's buying me one at MSG right now (:bigcry:) before friday, i'll be making one, because i'm THAT cool :P. on the front it has the VLV thing on the cover of the album in red (though it looks like blood...) and on the back, i would TOTALLY make a coldplaying.com reference!!
free advertising! :P

oh man, to see a CP concert with coldplayers...:dead:

[RunForTheHills]

Of COURSE Chelsea deserves to win! :nice:

I'll make another Coldplaying banner for the site, if that's what it takes... :P

[Mimixxx]

I think that's what would be the best (okay second best, after seeing CP of course) knowing that they're all from here. I would love to go to a gig with people on here. Would be amazing.

[Hotplay007]

somebody want to supply airfare and a hotel then i'll be set.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

commence me pulling out my hair until wednesday. oh goodness, this is NOT going to be good. i'm a basket case already :P

of course i get to go either way, but...seeing a coldplay mini-concert, front row, with COLDPLAYERS? with *possible* BAND INTERACTION?! i can't imagine anything better. nothing at all.

haha, and that night, i have tickets to see pearl jam back in CT, and the very next day, i fly to london and then to amsterdam. what a week!

[Texasluvsjonny]

....interact....with them?!?!?

[TracieMorgan]

Do we need to petition Ian to give Chelsae a pair? She so deserves them! I think we're up to 4 votes for her now...keep 'em coming, guys!:D

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

haha, thanks tracie!! :nice:
now let's just hope ian rereads this thread :sneaky:
(i kid! i kid!!)

yay angie!! fingers quadrouple crossed for the both of us!! :dance:

[CRYSTAL]

first of all for all the people who are going to Today at NBC if any one previously attended before there please give all the details about how the show will be like organising,interviews,songs list to be performed like how many songs,
any interaction too with the band,and vice versa.

as far as i know i read that it will be from outside of rockefellar plaza that audience must watch and all the thing will be inside studio.

[Collee]

So do I but here's my master plan:
Working the night of Wed the 25th, get off at 7am Thursday morning, drive directly to airport catch flight to NYC at 10am. Stay Thursday night at Rockefeller Hotel, perhaps some stalking at the Daily Show :wink3:.

OMG Angie, you crack me up.

If you do get nabbed for molesting Johnny, I'll bail you out!

[Cris_Santos]

I vote for Chelsea and Angie! They def deserve it!! And I'm pretty sure together they'll get Coldplaying.com well known :P

Ok, I know this is not a voting... but I'll support them anyway :D

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

if this was only a democratic process...:P

if i win this by some chance, i'll make a coldplaying poster that we can all wave, though i'm sure everyone else has the same idea :D

now someone HAS to record this, no question. lots will be on the today show website, but i don't think all. no matter who wins, we're all going to want to see our fellow coldplayers up there representing us all! :dance:

[pjoalfa]

define "interact"

Handshakes, autographs, pics? Depends on them.

It's certainly touching distance.

They set up a stage outside in between the NBC studio and the Dean & Deluca. You can see/hear from the street (and Dean&Deluca) without tickets. They go inside for interviews. Come back play a little more. The VIP area is on the side of the stage closer than the main crowd. The band will walk directly by this area to get inside. How close? Inches.


**all this assumes it't the same layout as previous "summer concert series" things the Today Show has done.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i think angie was thinking of something a bit kinkier...:P

me, i'm good with a handshake and a photo :D.

haha, i just told my brother about how i entered this contest (because he'd be the one getting the other VIP pass if i win :D), and he got REALLY excited. after we freaked out for a few minutes about it, he put on the :angry: face and said "there BETTER be biddies there!" (for all of you who might not know, "biddies" is a slang and rather derogatroy term for "hot chicks"). i just about keeled over laughing.

soo, if any girls around the age of 15 win...:P

[Marisa]

Well I'll be darned. This would be totally mind blowing but I have no money to drive/fly to get there if I had won. $@@$^%#(##sgjsgkjshsgiruhg. Argh. Boo hoooooooooo. HAVE FUN WINNERS.

he wants to be careful which country he said that in, if you hadn't explained, I would have thought he had a thing about old ladies :laugh3:

[TracieMorgan]

^I think a lot of little old ladies would be THRILLED to know that 'biddy' means 'hot chick' now. That's news to me too,lol.

I'd seriously like to ask one favour of anyone who wins and is involved in the CCC: If you have 2 seconds, let them know what the CCC has done (Not only HWSTW, but that WOULD be awesome!!). I know they'd be blown away if they knew.:)

Even though I'm working that night, expect a PM soon, Ian!;)

even better than that, i reckon someone ought to take along a copy of HWSTW in case they can give it to them. slip a brief description of CCC in with it

[TracieMorgan]

even better than that, i reckon someone ought to take along a copy of HWSTW in case they can give it to them. slip a brief description of CCC in with it

That would be amazing, but since it's currently not avail. for download (I'll fix that again soon) someone would have to either give up their copy or burn one, which would be ok with me if it's ok with the musicians...something tells me they wouldn't mind,lol. It would take too long to order from Carepress The real problem I have with just taking a burned copy is that they wouldn't be able to see the artwork, and it's as important as the music, imo. I was just dreaming aloud anyway.

(But still..if there's a way, keep the CCC in mind, eh?;))

[Jenjie]

it'd work. not only did you get to meet the band. they now own your own personal copy of hwstw :D how can anyone resist?

[TracieMorgan]

Trouble is, I think we only sold a few copies, so it's hard to even guarantee the winners would own one. I know Angie has one, but I think we'd have to fight her for it, and I'm a pacifist,lol. As soon as a single drop of Jonny's sweat touched it, she'd be clinging to it for dear life!!:lol: (Am I wrong, Angie?;))

[ColdplayJoe]

I have been a member of the CCC, but unfortunately haven't gotten around to purchasing a copy of HWSTW. Are they still on sale through one of the CCC board links? I'd be willing to purchase two, one for my girlfriend to give to one of the boys and another to have signed by the band. (They'll probably be sick of signing VLV and having a signed copy of HWSTW would be a good sig for the boards!)

[ColdplayJoe]

Well since the CD isn't available anymore, I'll pick up two of the shirts from the store instead and try to have my girlfriend give Chris one and have the other one signed. Maybe we could come up with a short pamphlet describing CCC's efforts to slip into the shirt or something. Reading material for the boys on the plane would be nice...

[Collee]

I'd donate mine if I'm lucky enough to get picked... I have the songs on my Ipod now anyway.

[Cris_Santos]

That's awesome! :dance: Go CCC :D

I ripped mine to my computer, so I could bring mine. However please know that if it comes between me touching Jonny and handing off the CD...you'll have to accept the fact that I will choose Jonny every time.

[busybeeburns]

deadline for entries has been brought forward 5 hours to give a little more leeway for those needing to make travel arrangements.

New deadline is 2.59pm EST (7.59pm BST) on Wednesday 25th June

Still 28 hours to go to get your PMs in :)

You could squeeze his bum and then slip the CD in his back pocket... two for one!

Breaking news from NBC's Today Show:

Crazed Coldplay fan strikes security with CD and tackles Jonny Buckland during a performance of Viva La Vida.

*Camera pans to running view seen on the show Cops*

"AHHHH... JOHNNY! Visit coldplaying.com! AHHHH!"

NYPD officials have secured Rockefeller Plaza and are currently deploying several SWAT teams to diffuse the situation.

Wow... I hope I am able to see something like that from you if I win...

[Texasluvsjonny]

Collee has promised bail money but we may need to take up a board collection.

[ColdplayJoe]

Bail money OR money to purchase your own security uniform so that you blend in once they are deployed... oOOoOOo

On second thought, you should get Jonny's face spraypainted a la Sports Illustrated over your body... no one would ever suspect anything :P

Can you tell us how many pms you have already received?

[busybeeburns]

enough to fill a suburban district ;)

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

dammit :P

i'm just hoping lots of them are brand-new noobs with crap reasons :D

[Christa42]

thank god for the forward of time for PM. I think I have been stressed out with all this coldplay waiting since May. what army is helping Ian read all the PM's?

[Cris_Santos]

enough to fill a suburban district ;)

:shocked2:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

yeahh, i'm on the edge of my seat too. but does that mean that we'll be getting an answer around 3PM EST? i would think there needs to be a significant amount of time for ian to make his final decisions...hmm.

goodness, this is almost WORSE than waiting for MSG answers! the fact that i "know" the person awarding the passes makes me slightly more hopeful, but i just can't get my hopes up. it'll be too crushing later on.

[Cris_Santos]

I wouldn't like to have Ian's job now. It must be really hard to pick only 25 winners :(

so some major ass kissing, presents and candy are in order, LOL. a lot of pressure for one man, but he can handle it

[Cris_Santos]

There's a lot of people in the live section moaning about yesterday performance. Ian, please, do a favour to that people and keep them away of the unpleasant situation of being close to such a crappy band in their opinion... :rolleyes:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

good call cris :P

i really need to stop worrying about this, and i need to STOP posting in this thread. it's just getting me all worked up. whatever happens, happens. it's in ian's hands now.

I am so stressed, the nails are gone, now i am pacing in front of the computer.

please correct me if i have the lyrics wrong

[Iannittim@gtlaw.com]

Would love to see them rock Rockefeller Plaza on Friday morning. My luck has been really bad lately and by winning tickets (the first time ever) it would give me a great lift. :cry:

bastards! Well boo fucking hoo, Coldplay didn't play 10 hours for them for feckin free...poor babies!

[Christa42]

OMG Angie, I love your location. LOL. helped relieve some of the stress. I just realized if i win the Today show VIP I probably won't be drunk, unless it is from the night before

[Texasluvsjonny]

At least the fretting over this is taking my mind off of fretting about getting Houston tickets on Saturday.

[busybeeburns]

we don't need blu-tac for this thread :)

[Texasluvsjonny]

does that mean you have made your selections? :) *runs to check email

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

well if its not stickied, not as many people will see it...:sneaky:

good lord, i need to stop thinking about this.

[Texasluvsjonny]

I had a new email and got all excited but it was from my bank :bigcry:

[Christa42]

Just put us out of our agony allready, haven't we been through enough?

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

we'll know sometime tomorrow night, guys :D

i'm not saying that's easy, but it could be worse, eh?

in the mean time, i'll go back to pulling out my hair with worry...eeeeesh how i want this.

NO WAIT, I was one of those! I posted a teeny little complaint, but it was about it not being long enough....and not being able to see...but that's just 'cause I CANT' GET ENOUGH of CP hehe!! Not 'cause I'm being ungrateful!!!! :( Believe me I feel blessed to have been there, hell I even cried a little. (maybe I shouldn't admit to that, since it would hurt my chances of winning for this, if ppl think I'd embarrass coldplaying.com by being all teary-eyed so close to the boys!!!! LOL

But yea, us lucky enough to have gotten to be there last night shouldn't bitch about anything...(i'm sorry!)

[ColdplayJoe]

Oh no! I've just chewed through my finger since all of my fingernails are gone!

Maybe I could use the blood to write a "V" on my white shirt before the Today Show... oOo
That's going to hurt tomorrow...

[BostonSportsTD]

i still havent sent in my entry because i need to PERFECT it. ugggh it's stressing me out so bad i feel like im writing a paper that i need to get an A on!! :sweatdrop:

clarification: do 25 people win 2 passes each? will there be a chance to meet with the band before or after the show? (or am i getting greedy?)

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

from what i understand, 25 coldplayers will win two passes each, so they'll each get to bring a guest. if this close pen is coldplayers only, then it'll just be 50 people! you can't get much better than that.

also from what i understand, if the band are feeling generous and in good moods, between songs/commercial breaks/etc, they just might come out to give autographs and take pictures etc. let's just hope the early hour doesn't make them too cranky :P

ohhhh my goodness, so nervous!

[blackchickintheback]

I want to enter and I should, but reality is stopping me.
If I win how the hell do I get up to New York? :dork: I'm too poor for a plane ticket, and it's a twelve hour drive. :\
I should just enter and worry about all that stuff if I actually win.
I don't know.

[Jayzo]

Good luck to everyone who has entered! :dance:

Ok, we cannot cannibilize ourselves or else there won't be anything left of us to go to the concert with but you have made me laugh very hard and the end of a very stressful day. thanks you made me day.

Overachiever!! just write what is in your heart. i think it is only 1 ticket per coldplayer. if it was 2 i would give it to one of our fellow coldplayers

[ColdplayJoe]

Ok, we cannot cannibilize ourselves or else there won't be anything left of us to go to the concert with but you have made me laugh very hard and the end of a very stressful day. thanks you made me day.

Haha... well I am glad to put a smile on someone's face today!

I read somewhere online (while doing a random Coldplay search during work hours :P) that some of the NYC radio stations might also be holding contests for VIP passes to the Today Show as well. I glanced at it quickly so I could have been mistaken!

Ack! 16 hours to go!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

must. not pull out. all. hair.

eeeek.

well, if the pen is more than just us coldplayers, than that's ok too, but i was hoping it would just be a small group of 50 people. ah well, it still would be BEYOND AMAZING to win. *sigh*

[Texasluvsjonny]

If it's not just us, then we must be down there very early to ensure pen dominance. :laugh3:

[coldplayay]

so im relatively new to this since i very rarely post things on forums. I visit this page quite frequently(aka every 5 and a half minutes). I just registered for the VIP spots and am quite nervous. in the novel i sent i explained how i hadnt won tickets to msg and now im gonna have to spend the entire night in line and i still wont be able to see the whites of their eyes. how unfortunate. i hope i win. will they tell us if we won before the deadline if they felt our stories are quite touching? wishfull thinking, i suppose.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

If it's not just us, then we must be down there very early to ensure pen dominance. :laugh3:

yeah, i've told my mom and brother that we're GOING to be there by 4AM at the latest if i don't win these things, something my mom wasn't too happy about. she said 5 was ok, but 4 was pushing it. well, i'm putting my foot down. i'm GETTING a decent standing spot, whether it's VIP or not. but let's just hope that we all get VIP spots!

angie, are you coming to NYC anyway, even if you don't get VIP passes?

[StephBerryman]

Have you've been to a concert at Rockefellar center before? If sadly i don't win VIP Passes, I'm trying to figure out realistically how early I need to arrive for a fairly decent viewing. Even 4am seems too late.

Please, Ian...pick me! I'm so desperate!

[Texasluvsjonny]

angie, are you coming to NYC anyway, even if you don't get VIP passes?I hee haw'd back and forth about going because I never win anything, but said why the hell not. So I'm in, VIP or not. How insane is that shit. :laugh3: Maybe if I don't win some kind soul on here will take pity on me and take as their guest. Last time I did spur of the moment Coldplayness was ticket to Phoenix, which came back to bite me on the ass. :cry: But the spur of the moment has also worked out well for me. I drove 5 hours just to see the taping of Austin City Limits then 5 hours back home and that was awesome.

[airieslady]

I am ssoooo jealous ..... why did I ever move from NJ to this Godforsaken Disney World! OK, I am still feeling bad about losing out on the Philly gig when it changed... now this! If I only still lived in NJ, I would be everwhere! Hey Joe! Please don't bite your fingers off... you need them to hold the signs! Hope you all get to go to this, I will be watching to see you all! I wish I was rich, cause I would be up there in a heartbeat! :gorgeous:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

ooh, that's great, angie! :D

i'm in either way too, but i live....QUITE a bit closer to NYC than texas! :laugh4:

i've never been to a today show concert before, no, but i know that there's no WAY i can get my mom and brother to get there any earlier than 4 AM, so that's when i'm getting there if i don't win :sad:

(*insert shameless plug*
iiiiiaaaannn, i've been a good, active coldplayer for two + years now! i made the coldplaying calendarrrrrr....and helped out with some newsy bitttttssss....)

:sneaky: :\

:sneaky: :\With gas prices, it may cost you as much to drive as I'm spending to fly. :P It's those NYC hotel prices that kill! Not to mention the fact that I am working that night and will have to try and sleep on the plane back so I won't be totally brain dead that night. I looked at it like this. I wanted to go to Toronto shows for my birthday in October, but they moved the dates. I had money set aside for that trip, so that's what I'm using. Not a full concert but VIP tickets and a chance of meeting them trumps 2 shows in Toronto. pleeeeeease Ian http://www.thesaintsforum.co.uk/images/smilies/eusa_pray.gif

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

ahh, well i'll be training in, but yes, the train tickets for three themselves will cost about $80 when all said and done. i think that's a freaking BARGAIN for what i could potentially get for that...OMG.

i MUST STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS. i'm driving myself insane. and i'm setting myself up for disappointment.

[yamfox]

Please give me the VIP tickets Ian. 11-year olds should NOT have to wake up at 3 am to sit in line to a concert! Sent you a PM.

[yamfox]

Great that you'll be there Angie. I hope I'll see you there.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

yeah, VIP passes or not, i really hope to meet you guys!! that'll be one of the best parts of the day, most definitely :D

[yamfox]

Yep, on my sign it will say "All The Way From Iowa For Coldplay!!!" and underneath it will say "Coldplayers, You Know Me As Yamfox."

[coldplayay]

I WANNNNNNNTTTSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!:(

[yamfox]

I WANNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! MORRRRREEEEEE!!!!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

if i get VIP passes, my sign will say

"the sky could be blue...
could be grey...
without IAN we'd be miles away!

thanks, coldplaying.com!!"

and then maybe something more promoting CPing on the other side :D

[yamfox]

:laugh3:

seriously while i was skimming down the thread THOSE LYRICS WERE PLAYING AND I WAS SINGING THEM!
so weird.. or maybe coincidence since i have that song on repeat?:)

[yamfox]

Please God, for all I hope and pray, please let me win a pair of those tickets. It would, quite frankly, MAKE THAT DAY THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. My first Coldplay concert... :smug:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

ditto for me and everyone else that entered :D

[BostonSportsTD]

ok so how many people do you think entered? at first i thought we all had a decent shot at this since i figured only people in the NY area would apply... but it looks as though people are applying from all over. so any idea how many total? basically im trying to figure out if i'm getting my hopes up or not :\

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i'm thinking LOTS applied. like 300, maybe more. i bet lots of those people just signed up to the board in the past two days and sent in a PM. while lots of those people might have very good reasons...i'm thinking that coldplaying seniority might play a role in here. might be small, might be large, but really...ian "knows" who we are, so i think that miiiiiight help things a tiny bit. i'm not letting that get my hopes up too high (or i'm trying not to), but if i were ian, i'd be wading through the hundreds of applicants, but my interest would really perk when a good reason was paired with a username and person i recognized.

i also think that something like an MSG might be pulled...like only people in the tri-state area or other nearby states will be selected (besides angie, who's the longest coldplayer i've seen enter out of all of us ;)). i think ian has more sense than whatever computer selected the MSG winners though: i bet the computer that selected the MSG winners was only allowed to select certain zip codes for winners, whereas ian is picking based on things we actually WRITE as well as a more general sense of location (and perhaps how well he knows us?).

all i know for sure is that i'm wetting myself, here.

[yamfox]

ditto. I can't sleep.

[Texasluvsjonny]

ditto. I can't sleep.Are you already in NYC?

[BostonSportsTD]

hahaha well i hope your right. i wouldn't say that seniority gives me much of an advantage since im slightly still a noob... but hopefully since he knows i'm a legit everyday poster my entry will at least be read instead of thrown in the trash immediately :P just kidding... i KNOW ian will read all of them no matter what.

[Texasluvsjonny]

I hope people that can actually attend applied and not just gosh I want to go be there is no way in hell I actually can make it there. I know Ian has to submit the names to NBC and I would hate to see tickets go to waste.

[yamfox]

I'm sitting here in Iowa right now, but I'll be on a plane tomorrow at 3 o'clock PM

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

exactly. i hope ian's decisions are slightly swayed by the people he knows (or could find out) that would be going anyway, like me and you and yammy etc etc, so the tickets wouldn't go to waste.

question: if ian has to submit the names to NBC, what happens if some generous coldplayer decides to give out their tickets that they won, but can't use?

[BostonSportsTD]

^^ SAME!!!! i was thinking the same thing. if i win i know that i will be able to go 100%. and thats how it was for MSG too. and then i remember reading on here about people who were like oh no i dont know how im gunna get there. ok whyd you apply then. gahhh i just want to win :bomb:

[Texasluvsjonny]

i'm thinking LOTS applied. like 300, maybe more. i bet lots of those people just signed up to the board in the past two days and sent in a PM. while lots of those people might have very good reasons...i'm thinking that coldplaying seniority might play a role in here. might be small, might be large, but really...ian "knows" who we are, so i think that miiiiiight help things a tiny bit. i'm not letting that get my hopes up too high (or i'm trying not to), but if i were ian, i'd be wading through the hundreds of applicants, but my interest would really perk when a good reason was paired with a username and person i recognized.

all i know for sure is that i'm wetting myself, here. On the official board I would always enter contests and Debs would PM and tell me I wasn't able to enter because who's going to spend money to travel to England just for some show? :veryangry: She don't know me. She has no earthly idea what I will do. I suspect Ian is far more aware of my insanity and knows I will travel there in a heart beat. :laugh3:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

@ tim: i know, that frustrates me too, but if coldplay were doing this in say, philly, which is really out of my way, i'd apply and figure out the details of getting there if i won. i can't really blame the people that do that, but it just gets frustrating for people that LIVE IN THE AREA and have no problem getting there.

i'll be there either way, VIP passes or not, but...GAHH.

@ angie: that is annoying. you shouldn't be barred from entry, no matter what! but at the same time...not many people are as devoted as you to fly to these places if they win! but us here, we all know you and know that you'd do ANYTHING to get ANYWHERE to see these boys, ian most of all :D

[Texasluvsjonny]

I'm sitting here in Iowa right now, but I'll be on a plane tomorrow at 3 o'clock PMYou are in all that flooding mess are you?

We would always chat on line on the old old official board and one day she was like I wish we could see a show together. We checked the tour schedule and planned on Cleveland because it was a GA show and we didn't have to worry about getting seats next to each other. We ended up getting people from all over the US to join us and we had the best time ever. OK mostly because I grabbed Jonny's ass. :sneaky:

Fact on Twisted Logic tour I, on the spur of the moment, traveled to Milwaukee to see Coldplay. Cleveland, Milwaukee....see Ian NYC is no big deal. Pick meeeeeeeeee!

Oh people I'm so nervous because of you!! :confused: I know this is hell insane but I am. If you don't win I'll be soooo disappointed :( Can you imagine how awesome would it be to have at least a large amount of the VIPs singing along even the non-singles songs??
