[Liam]

I might still get wet if it rains, im considering maybe swapping my seated tickers for some standing ones!

Id rather be in the crowd than at the back despite the good view!

[PolarMonkey]

If it rains, guess who'll be wearing a transparent yellow rain coat/poncho? :P
hehe...now, there's an idea! mind if i borrow your idea too? ;)
no idea where mine's gone tho...will need to start looking for it & making sure it's packed in for the trip.

Not at all. It's practical, small, cheap and you will still be yellow and show the t-shirt. :)

[CookyMnstr]

I was given a yellow rain poncho for Christmas specifically for Wembley:lol:
(and already tried it out at the CP show in Hershey)

Heeeheheeehe I forgot about the yellow passport cover!:dunce::blush:

[Macintosh]

yesterday sleep dreamed me- Wembley, 19/09/09, and guys after Fix You and encore begin to play the cover on The Show Must Go On! It was unbelievable! Oh, If it would be true!)
And why did I wake up?

[johkujii]

I have a yellow rain poncho with mickey mouse in the back..might take that with me ;)

damn why can't I live in london and go camping in front of wembley like a week before 190909 :(

On event days the roof is part shut, so that the seats are covered but the pitch is open to the elements

Doors open at 4pm (going from the booking email)
So going on past gigs I would guess:
White Lies on at 5pm for 30 minutes
Girls Aloud @ 6pm for 30 minutes
Jay-Z on at around 7:00 for 45 minutes
Coldplay on the stage around 8:30 for a 2 hour set, ending at around 10:30.

[mc_squared]

I would guess the sizes are based on an average US body

[a-chan]

It's very big right? :lol: Mine is a small but is still swallowing me whole.

It's an M size. I'm between S and M...I was afraid S was too tight if I wanted to put sthg with sleeve under (in case it's cold the 19th...). But I didn"t expect it to be that large... :lol: I guess M for america is XL in here XD!
Anyway, I just tied a not and it's ok ;)

[MeriCri]

hi guys! I'm new in this topic ... I read a few pages but not the whole topic so i'm writing to ask: are you planning a meeting pre concert even for those who don't need to see the gig in front row?!

I'd be glad to meet some coldplayers! :D

We might be queueing up together outside the venue, you could probably pop by and introduce yourself. You'll most likely be able to spot us easily by the yellow shirts we're wearing :D

Otherwise, we are thinking of having a picnic on the 20th. You can check out this (http://coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59159) thread for more details :nice:

Thank you so much!!! :) I'll try to get ( and give ) more details (time, gate number, tube/bus number and so one ... ) some days before ... For the moment a big "ciao"!

;)

[Macintosh]

Receiving of LeftRight will be possible only after a concert? :thinking:

[but a dream]

Yes, they don't give it out before.

[lindam]

Ooooh I'm so out of everything here! :( It's summer here in Finland and I'm not able to use computer so often. I haven't even ordered the t-shirt yet! :stunned:

OMG This is gonna be sooooooo soon!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 74 days to go! :dance::dance::shocked2:

[johkujii]

I haven't ordered the shirt yet either, coz my pay check hasn't arrived yet! :( But I'll probably order it tomorrow or thursday ;)

[.: Fix You :.]

anyone knows if inside wembley stadium there is a free wifi connection?

[johkujii]

Hey I was thinking about a couple of things last night and i need a few answers from some more experienced coldplay concert people! :)
so:
do they still sell stuff like shirts, posters etc after the concert? i mean if i want to keep my place as front as possible and can't go to buy stuff then can i buy it after the concert? :stunned:

and the other one was that d'you think there will be this area in front of the stage where they let the people who have been at wembley first and have a wristband to prove that? (i'm not sure if it's called a wrist band, but you probably get the point..) i've seen that in many concerts..

thank you already if someone has the answers ;)

[PolarMonkey]

can't really answer your question about the wristbands & queueing cos i'm not an experienced concert goer.

but based on personal experience from the few concerts i've been to, in general, if you're talking about a popular band like Coldplay & a massive venue/turnout like Wembley's going to be, then you'd want to get your merchandise before the gig starts.

by the end of the gig, unless you wear the odd sizes or aren't fussed about what you're getting or are just plain lucky, you aren't likely to get what you want. :(

[tashton123]

Hi guys, this may sound like a stupid question but does anyone know roughly the best time to get to the venue if you are standing and want to get relatively near the front???

[rush]

4pm of the day before? :thinking:

[Clocks In My Place]

How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin? :dance:

damn i hope someone can hold my place in the line or smthing then, coz it'll be hard to buy all the stuff i want :thinking: or then i'll just be on the phone with my dad and make him buy the stuff when he comes to the concert :D then i don't have to worry about carrying the stuff during the concert.. :thinking:

[rush]

good idea :D

im still worried about the "going to pee" thing :\

Advantage of reserved seats, you can go out for the toilet/buy stuff without running the risk of attempting to get back to your spot

[blue_girl]

:stunned: Look! i found out this pic from an Oasis fan website, today and for 2 mores days they are playing at Wembley, this pic was taken today !! :o :o

[johkujii]

oh yeah peeing too :s and me and my friend once ordered a pizza while we were on a line to get to a concert :rolleyes: but i guess it's harder to do that there since the location wembley is a bit harder to track down (coz it's so big..) than the olympic stadion of helsinki.. ;)

i didn't quite understand your message( my poor english skills thank you ;) ), but i just know that oasis play today, 11&12.7.. :)

[rush]

Me too :lol: But I guess that's just us girls that are worrying about that! XD

maybe we should ask guys about their plans :thinking:

[a-chan]

maybe we should ask guys about their plans :thinking:
I think until 2 or 3 hours before they open the gates, you can get out of the queue to go do your business in a local bar nearby....People can keep your spot in the queue...
Once inside, it's more tricky. I guess since the show starts at 4 PM that there will be people on the move to get drinks and food until the evening. So maybe again, we can go the bathroom in the stadium and run back to our spot, but we'll have to face the crowd!!

[rush]

face the crowd sounds scary :lol:

[a-chan]

face the crowd sounds scary :lol:
I'll guess a huge smile and a 'soRRy' (<- sense the french accent :lol: ) could do the trick... Doesn't foreigners find it cute?! :D

[rush]

:lol: funny is that soRRy with french accent means smile! in portuguese :D

[Clocks In My Place]

Somebody were talking about there being public toilets near the stadium. I think (hope) they knew what they were talking about. Otherwise, there was a Coldplayer who said she was staying at the Wembley stadium hotel and offered to lend the toilet there to us queing. :lol: Sadly, I don't remember who though. :uneasy:

[worldtrav]

There goes my idea of coldplay doing a foo fighters and playing in the round

On the seating plan thats exacly how it is though, The oasis seating plan is exacly like the picture, nobody sitting behind the stage

Can somebody tell me what Take that was like? Was there people sat behind the stage?

Im still debating whether to sell my seated tickers n get standing ones?!

What you lot think?

No at Take That nobody was sitting behind the stage...and why should people sit there anyways, you don't see anything!
TT had there main stage, a walkway and a Bstage in the middle of the stadium connect with the walk way.
Coldplay's stage will be more or less the same as they have now - they only might extend the walkways on either side.
They won't come up with a new stage just for wembley!!!

P.

[Liam]

they havent started the big shows yet so we could well see a new set up

[busybeeburns]

Im still debating whether to sell my seated tickers n get standing ones?!What you lot think?you could swap them for level 1 unreserved seating/standing, so you can decide whether to stand or sit on the day

[Pguild142]

I hope they change things up for the stadium tour!!!

The current tour is great, and I love seeing the show every time... But I would love some more songs!

Anyone think the setlist may change for the stadium shows? Do you think they may just add songs when they play?

There's a rumour circulating that they might add "Ode To Deodorant" to the set................... :rolleyes:

[mc_squared]

My sources are extremely reliable.............................. :rolleyes:

[Liam]

It will probably be near enough the same set lists, with a few new ones added because the staium shows are longer!

Does anybody know what time the sun goes down in september?

When I read your question I had to think of this song:

YouTube - When the lights go down - Armand Van helden

"When the lights go down in your town,
and the band begins to play,
you can feel the energy coming
from the people as they say"

:)




I had a look at the US Naval Observatory (http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/rs-one-day-world/) and this is the result:

Hi,

I'm new to the forums but have been a Coldplay fan since I started getting into music (when I was about 8!). I'm finally going to see them live after having a great year seeing Keane, The Script etc this year... I have 2 questions. I am going on the 18th and I can't go much earlier than 2pm (because of school) but I'm in the standing area and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how roughly many people wil already be queuing. I guess quite alot of people won't even come before 5/6pm but I guess alot will come before so if I come at that time do you thinkI'll be at the back?

My second question is that as the concert is from about 4pm and Coldplay, considering there are 3 great support acts, will not be on till at least 8pm...ish what do I do if I nned the loo? I'm going with 2 other people and I don't know how I would find them again if I went to the llo then came back as Wembley has such a massive standing area! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Depends on the weather, but you might be able to sneak into gaps to get close to the stage.

It's unlikely for the tickets to start being sent before the 20th August.

I was wondering if someone could help me. I've just brought tickets for this date and on the confirmation e-mail it says:

Standing/A80-81

What does this mean?

Thanks Kite, it's good news. That time is enought to arrive on time!:smug:

i believe that's just a way to keep track of how many Standing tix they've sold so as not to oversell beyond the maximum capacity (for safety reasons)

[johkujii]

It isn't Finland, you know!!:P


haha :laugh3: well if I'd be speaking of Finland, I wouldn't say quite would I..Coz in september the sun balery comes out here :D

At a guess I would say that the tickets are for the pitch standing/unreserved seating area, and the A80-81 must be something to do with the order number.

I do hope this Swine Flu panic calms down, if there's some sort of public gathering ban because people are panicking over a glorified cold I won't be impressed :angry: :rolleyes:

It depends which ticket seller you got the tickets from, and what you selected when ordering.

The 20th august is from the gigsandtours (see tickets) tracker

Hopefully the panic has died down, besides at the current rate the entire country would have had the flu by september :P

Fine, I'm fine with having a bit of a cold before Sept, plus I work in a hospital so would be made to have an extortionate amount of time off :P

ahhh less than 2 months its great!!!!!

[but a dream]

Can we all get swine flu before September?

[CookyMnstr]

^What?!? How 'bout NONE of us gets sick, and are in fine form to stand for hrs and hrs the days of the shows!:smug:

I'm sure whatever craziness is going on regarding swine flu panic will definitely have died down in 2months time.(or won't get to the point where people won't be let out of the house). When it all first started in May, we were worried for Pris coming to NYC from Mexico...but she had no problems. And now people are like "what swine flu,huh?"

And if we must, I'm sure we can find a design for some yellow face masks:P--'cause nothing is stopping the show, damn it!!!:whip:

[but a dream]

I mean, at least if we (without prior medical conditions that is!) all got infected with H1N1 and recover by September, we will have the antibodies against it and won't fall ill even if exposed to the virus during the concert :P

H1N1 is close becoming the default flu strain this season in my country :uhoh:

[professa95]

the swine flu pandemic isnt too serious over in america

[but a dream]

Which is a good thing.

More than half the cases of flu here this season test positive for H1N1.


Let's all just hope Wembley will go smoothly :D

[aniskywalker]

So hands up who has the tee-shirt?

Original shirts for me and my daughter :)

"amen" to the bolded text! & i hope that by 19 Sep i would've recovered from jet lag & adjusted fully to London time. :P
(i'd hate to give the guys the wrong message by falling asleep during their songs!)

but i do have someone in the family who is all paranoid about me just going to uni cos i'll "definitely come in contact with ppl who have the H1N1 virus"...brilliant. :dozey:
said person is convinced it'll all flare up again & maybe worse in Sep, esp. once winter comes round in UK. :thinking:



A Wembley Flu Prayer

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The patience to endure the queues and weather at Wembley,
The strength to survive a swine flu infection,
And the wisdom to not live in fear at home all day
for mortal fear of a glorified flu
And also,
Help me to be careful of the overly paranoid
As they will probably want to quarantine me
For going to a Coldplay concert I've been waiting for for months.

:P:P:P

I just feel the need to say how lucky you guys are to be going to this! I, obviously, live back in the US and can't afford to come (although am entering every contest possible), but it sounds like it's going to be incredible with all of the Coldplayers there. Please promise to take lots of pictures! :]

[zecki]

does anybody know when the doors will open?

when do i have to appear at wembley to get into the front section? I never visited a concert in a stadium, so i don't know when to appear to get into the front section...

[busybeeburns]

4pm for the doors, as for front row the time for that is anyone's guess!

oh and I'm not on the list either, so if you can add me too while you're at it ;)

[StephBerryman]

How far is Wembley Stadium from London? I would rather find a cheap hotel/motel outside of Wembley instead of London since London hotels are way off my price range. Besides i won't be staying indoors much, even if it rains, so no point in spending too much on a hotel.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

[johkujii]

StephBerryman: all I have is that you should check Hotels.com and ebookers.com :)

IIRC for the standing area of Wembley, you will be given an entrance gate on the tickets, which I believe there are 4 off, so if your lucky you will get one close to the stage, if your unlucky you will get the gates at the back of the stadium.

[Jenjie]

hopefully those who bought the day it went on sale get front, and those who bought just before it sold out will get back. otherwise it would be so very unfair

[worldtrav]

I think both gates for the standing bit a quite a bit away from the stage which is most of the times at stadium gigs the case that you have run through the entrance, down some horrible stairs and then across the pit.

In the same way hopefully I will get good seats seeing as I booked at 9:31 on the day of sale, but knowing my luck i will end up right at the back up high :(

I've seen some on ticketmasters but its quite costly and i dont really know how the tickets system works in UK.

It's like a dream come true to see them at Wembly! please advise!!!

Yeah hopefully so, but would it be difficult to organize? Is it possible, that the tickets buying place would define the gates?

Oh, and what if I have to change my ticket delivery to box office pickup, and they can't give the tickets until like 12am on the actual day. And I'd want to go to queue in the morning. So how do I know where should I queue? :thinking:

Hi everyone-

I bought this flyer a few months ago because I thought I was going to be able to go to this show. Things did not work out so I was wondering if any of you would like to purchase it from me. I paid almost $25 USD for it with shipping from the UK to the US. I would only charge that and whatever it would cost me to ship it to you. If you are interested please PM me. I hope you all have a good time. Wish I was going to be there :cry:

Honestly??
They were handing them out after the concerts in the O2 in December and I grabbed some (so not really rare like it says in the description, sorry)!!
Still have them in my bag with the butterfly confetti :)
I wouldn't even think about putting a flyer on ebay but obviously there was a market...
Sorry to hear you can't make it.
^it says it has been sold^
Yes, I think what she means is that she bought it on June 4th and wants to resell it now!!

love how Coldplay's Wembley gig coincides with the start of uni/school term in UK... :)

i'd suggest to just keep checking on Ticketmaster or the other legal/official sites for tickets as & when they become available. that's how i got my ticket, btw...once i'd gotten my uni offers & accepted one. & i'd say my Wembley ticket cost less than the most expensive ticket for the recent Singapore gig...so i suppose the only ticket available to you are the Club Wembley package ones? cos last i checked it's sold out & looking at any other outlets (e.g. eBay) would mean paying a higher price & the risk that the ticket's not legit.

Hey Perrine! :kiss: :hug:

Don't worry about the tickets, I know people who are coming to both Wembley nights from Latin America; they have the tickets at will call, but they haven't even booked the flight, hotel, nor a car rental or any form of transportation! :stunned:

They still say to me that is a 80% chance that they get there, but from my standpoint that sounds like a 5% to me :bigcry: :lol:

[SueDeNimes]

I received that email from ticketmaster yesterday that said
Dispatch Update
Your tickets will be dispatched closer to the date of the event.
[...]
There must be a lot of people asking questions about it now.
They also said they will arrive at least 5 days prior to the event which is fine for me (and Perrine :D)!

I ordered my second yellow shirt yesterday - I don't want to stink on the 19th! :laugh3:

@dfit00 Did you tell these people that the longer they wait for booking hotels the more expensive it becomes???

And for transportation: there are cheap buses from the airports to the city centre and for everything else TfL is perfect!
I recommend Oyster cards to everybody btw.
You can put money on it and if there's money left on it you can get it paid back before you leave.

Have a nice day everybody!

Your tickets will be dispatched closer to the date of the event.
[...]


There must be a lot of people asking questions about it now.
They also said they will arrive at least 5 days prior to the event which is fine for me (and Perrine :D)!

i got that email too (this is the 2nd time i'm getting it already). but the thing is i long ago arranged for my ticket to be Box Office Collection. i suppose they are mass mailing it out to everyone who bought a ticket? :\

i did call TicketMaster to look at the possibility of mailing it out to me instead, but that didn't seem feasible ultimately cos of my travel plans. the last thing i'd need now is for my ticket to be mailed to me in Malaysia when i'm already in UK!
but i don't think that's possible, since i'd have had to top up the difference had i authorised the change in arrangement...& i haven't seen any additional charges by TicketMaster in my credit card bill so far. :thinking:

I haven't arranged my tickets to be collected at the box office yet, just hoping they will ship them in time for my departure which will be one week before the Wembley gigs. Optimistic?

The worst case scenario is to come up to Wembely without the ticket which will be hold at a post office and not to be able to enter the stadium.

Should I call up Ticketmaster?

Anyone heard anything about 'Ticketline.co.uk'? :confused:
I was about to change the delivery option and have it mailed to someone in the UK but if they start mailing them out right now, chances are, that continent tickets will arrive here before I leave for Dublin :)

Yes, I think it probably best to call them beans. Better safe than sorry!

I can't even remember who I booked through, better double-check that myself!!

ticketline says "Coldplay @ Lancashire Cricket Club despatched by special delivery 6th & 7th August" This gig is one week prior to the first Wembley one. So there migth be a chance they will despatch ours by the end of next week.

Just an FYI - I am coming from the US for the Sept. 19 show. I leave on a red eye Sept. 17. I called ticketmaster.uk earlier this week after receiving the second email. He said I should get them seven days before the show and if I dont have them five days before I leave to call back and they will leave them at will call. I asked if they can do that if the tickets have already been sent and en route and he said they can print duplicates at the box office. I re-confirmed this with him as everything else I have read was contrary to this and he said yes, they can reprint duplicates.

That would be a relief. At least you know that you can still get your ticket @ the stadium.

Although picking up @ the box office is also a bit of a hassle as we'll have to leave the queue, and then try to find our way back. And if the arena staff starts scanning barcodes and giving out wristbands for the standing area before we get our tickets, I'm afraid we might get relegated to the end of the queue :\

That is a worry :\. The reason I changed my second ticket from delivery to box office pick up was because I will already have a ticket, so in theory me leaving to pick it up will just be like me going to the toilet or something.

I'm guessing cafc4eva got her tickets from Seetickets (or Gin&tonic).

correct. well appart from the "her" part haha

I wouldn't worry too much. From the sounds of things, you're planning to be in the queue before the birds get up, so are likely to be there way before the box office opens. :P

I'd ring them to find out what time they're planning to open for collections, then you can get over there as soon as they do so, and before they even think of sorting out wristbands etc. :)

Thank you sooooo much Jen :) :D
That officially gives green light to my new camera :D :D :D
It's a bridge camera but obviously with no interchangable lense, so I can take it ... :)

I guess I better print these guidelines out and show it to the security in case they search me and complain about the camera ;)

And about the CCTV cameras .... do I get on TV now :laugh3:

[*Perrine*]

Thanks so much Jen for your great advices !

Gosh I'm gonna need a whole week to plan everything :D

They said they'd be open from 3pm :P haha. Me already having a ticket was the only reason I was willing to do it.

[but a dream]

Thanks for the info Jen :D

[Jenjie]

Hi guys!!

I have one spare ticket for WEMBLEY, Sept 19th. Anyone interested, please contact me via my mail: lovinthe757@gmail.com.

Cheers!

EDIT: I've already sold the ticket!!

Banning people from being in their own sealed water bottles is a grey area, cos all it will take is for someone who needs water if they are on any medicines who doesn't want to pay £2+ for a bottle of water collapsing and all hell shall break loose with whose fault it was. Hence why at Blur in Hyde Park when it was really hot they had to give out free water to stop people collapsing in the heat.

But I shall see if I can sneak in some bottles of water on Friday for U2, and get some research on the other various prices of food/drink ;)

oops double postie
