Now I am a little concerned about getting barrier. I NEED to be at the front, but I've never been to Etihad Stadium for a show. On my ticket it says Gate 9. Does everybody get in through that gate, or are there several? My concern is that if there are several different gates, and we line up all day but another gate gets let in first, we won't get to the barrier. Has anyone been there before or does anyone have different gates on their tickets? I need to get this sorted now so I don't have to panic for the next 5 and a half months

My ticket is also Gate 9... I think there will most likely be a max of 2 gates for each GA section (so 2 for Arena A & 2 for Arena B etc). Chill out & tell yourself you will get to the barrier... I think you'll be fine! ;-)

I'm Mel, nice to meet you April. :-)

Ok, thanks for that!

I'm pretty determined to get there and I'm more than happy to push people out of the way to get it. I'm excited to meet all you guys, I've never met another Coldplayer before

Hopefully no Coldplayer will be harmed in the making of the first row against the barrier at Etihad Stadium.

And as far as Coldplayers go, we're always an interesting bunch! ;-)

I'll attempt not to injure any Coldplayers. The general public are not safe though. If you get in front of me, WATCH OUT

tauiwi · 25-05-2012, 12:18 PM

I'll work half a day and then line up from 2pm... I lined up for u2 at 3pm and still got 2nd row last year. It's all about the sprint to the barrier haha

givelovesolong · 25-05-2012, 01:14 PM

I love that there are actually other people out there who have absolutely no qualms about giving up their whole day to line up. I am so there. I feel like the Melbourne show is going to go off, and I can't wait.

Excellent. Don't you worry, I'll be sprinting to that barrier as fast as my little legs can carry me

Hell yes! If I have to miss uni or work I DON'T CARE

I reckon it's gonna be amazing. First show of the Aussie tour, it's gonna rock

splintercell37 · 26-05-2012, 08:35 AM

Got reserved seats, bought them they moment they went on presale (monday or tuesday, cant remember which) while out on the jobs doing some plumbing stuff - hard work can wait

splintercell37 · 26-05-2012, 08:36 AM

We should organise some sort of meet up before hand

Viva_La_Coldplay · 26-05-2012, 11:15 AM

^ A few of us are lining up outside gate 9 from 7am if you want to join us there for part of the day. We'll be eating lollies, and listening to awesome music, and generally having a good ol' time

A Melbournian Coldplayer party, it's gonna be awesome!

Sugar rush & adrenaline rush = Awesome! Lets just hope that Melbourne decides to keep the rain away. *crosses fingers*
