Im thinking of coming over from Western Australia for this show.

Uber_Cute · 22-05-2008, 08:54 AM

HEY

If anyone going to this show wants a buddy to attend with them, LET ME KNOW!

I'm from Louisiana (no concerts here, unfortunately) and Houston will be the nearest venu for me.

Texasluvsjonny · 22-05-2008, 09:57 AM

I'll be going to Houston and Dallas.

tanya41803 · 14-06-2008, 02:10 PM

okay, so tickets for this show were supposed to go on sale today but they're not. wahts going on? theere is not a sale date on coldplay.com anymore............

Timmy21girl · 15-06-2008, 07:04 PM

I called in and they said the ticket on sale date was postponed. They couldn't give me any info and said the new date would be put up on the website as soon as they found out. I think it might have to do with the two week delay and Chris' injury.

psychosaiqa · 16-06-2008, 02:03 AM

wow, it's been awhile.

i'm planning on going to this show even though i'm gonna be living in austin by then. as far as i now, ticket dates are yet to be announced.

Timmy21girl · 27-06-2008, 07:37 AM

^^^Yup, the name gave it away huh? lol. I wanted to make it to the last show in Houston but couldn't. I really would've preferred to have seen em at the woodlands, but oh well. I'm just afraid I won't get good seats 2morrow.

Oh well, any seat should be good as long as I'm there. crossing fingers on floor seats though.

sa_spurs_tx · 27-06-2008, 07:44 AM

same here, I was so bummed when I found out i couldnt make it to the houston show in 2005... I just kept saying to myself "it will be 10 times better in 2008", nows my chance!! haha but yeah, im trying to score 4 floor seats.

Timmy21girl · 27-06-2008, 07:47 AM

Well good luck with that, I used to work @ ticketmaster and I'm dead scared at my chances, but then again ticketmaster isn't selling these tickets so that's better for us. yay!

sa_spurs_tx · 27-06-2008, 07:51 AM

yup..that would be so awesome though if they came to SA or Austin.

Very dark, but there were stars-- Points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."
