From Absolute Radio:

Chris Martin, frontman of Coldplay, will be visiting One Golden Square and playing an intimate Zoo Session for the station. We can't wait!

Now, we're not gloating, we're telling you because we want you to be there. Of course, this isn't a competition for someone who only likes Coldplay a little bit, so we've made the question quite hard to find a true fan.

We have just 2 pairs of tickets to give away online, so it'll be a majorly exclusive prize.

Before you enter, make sure you'll be free on the afternoon of Friday 30 January from around 1pm. Then just answer the question below! Good luck.

------------------------------------------

Answer the question(s) here (http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/music/artists/coldplay/article/3584.html)

What is Chris Martin's full name?

Christopher Duncan John Martin
Christopher David John Martin
Christopher Anthony John Martin

Usual competition rules (http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/about/legal/competition_rules.html) apply - this competition closes on Wednesday 28 January 2009 23:59.

Good luck to everyone who enters :)

Just imagine all that icecream will go right into their bellies and onto their hips ... ;) :laugh3:

[moondance]

Where would you have to travel to if you won? London??

[Mimixxx]

Yep London.

So I hope they're not announcing winners on the day.

[LittleMissMessy]

Yep London.

So I hope they're not announcing winners on the day.

That's why I didn't enter.
Even when it says its for UK residents only I would have entered 'cause going from here to London wouldn't be a big problem.
The only problem would be that it is too short notice.
Closing date is the 28th and the actual session is only 2 days later :(

[Mimixxx]

If they announced it the day before I could do it. If it's on the actual day, there's no way.

Hmm they do make it sound like you need to be available on the 30th though :worried: Oh well, there's no way I'd win anyway.

Just read this on Coldplay.com!


Good morning. As you know, Chris is playing a very intimate acoustic session for Absolute Radio this coming Friday (30th January). Well, the kind folks at Absolute have been in touch to offer Coldplay.com one pair of tickets to give away. Our winner will need to be available to go along to the session in London on Friday, at around 1pm. The prize is just the tickets, not travel or anything else.

How can you win the tickets? Simply write a limerick (strict AABBA rhyming pattern) beginning with one of the following lines:

- There once was a singer named Chris
- There once was a bassist named Guy
- There once was a drummer named Will
- There once was an axeman named Jonny

Email your entry to competitions@coldplay.com (not anchorman@coldplay.com, which is playing up) with the subject "limerick" before 9am tomorrow morning (Wednesday). The best one (in our humble opinion) wins the tickets...

Anchorman



Post your entries here! I'm so curious, knowing how creative you all are!

[Jenjie]

It says on the page: "Our techie bods will be testing cameras and plugging in wires all morning, and you might catch glimpses of what is going on in the Absolute Radio Zoo (some lucky folk might see a bit of Florence and the Machine, who are coming in to perform this morning). Don't worry, all this tweaking is to ensure that all goes well for the main event."

:) Hope everyone's looking forward to 1pm, we're all v excited here at Absolute Radio.

STOP PANICKING! NOTHING HAS STARTED YET!

Yes, there was a big crowd outside, I just went out to get my lunch a few mins ago. :)

Video is NOT playing through the player; you must be on the http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/coldplay page.

We never had a record button, sorry. :)
