Coldplay Live

Hello everyone! I'm new to this board and first of all want to say hi to everyone! So anyway, I'm thinking of flying to New York to see the show in East Rutherford, NJ and maybe also the one in DC. When I was looking for tickets I noticed that there are no standing tickets?! All the shows in the US, at least the ones on the east coast don't seem to have standing...Am I right about that? I mean, what the heck, sitting at a Coldplay doesn't really sound like a lot of fun. And I don't understand it, the shows in Europe have standing...So, what's the deal with that? Thank you for your answers! Jonathan

I didn't know where to post this, so I'll just start a thread... So, I went to see Coldplay on July 19th in Las Vegas. I flew from San Diego just to see them, and I took my favorite book, The Catcher in the Rye, with me on the plane. I have this weird emotional attachment to this book, and never leave my home without it in my purse...so it's old and falling apart. Anyways, concert was amazing, best night of my life, and of course I got a butterfly! I put the butterfly inside the cover of my book, along with my Coldplay ticket, a picture of Guy, ;) and a couple other pics I cut out from a magazine in my Vegas hotel. On my way back to San Diego, I took the bo…

just out of interest (and because i need to plan where to go if i can't make it to the front ;D) - which side of the stage are they normally on for the accoustic set? :)

my tickets have come for the birmingham show. i thought i had bought floor standing tickets but turns out they are seated? can anyone confirm this? why are there seats? thanks:confused:

OK, I have managed to secure front row seats to see the mighty coldplay at Birmingham in December. I have never got front row seats before and have a question. If another fan gets in front of me - am I within my rights to tell to move out my way. The way I see it is if you have front row seats no-one shoud be in front of you. I know fans from other rows like to push in and get close to the railing to get the best view. If someone does this to me I will politely ask them to move. If this does not work I will inform security - if this does not work - I will beat a fellow coldplay fan up. Totally against violence but I had to que overnight to get these tickets and…

I give in. Only 4 days til the next leg of the tour kicks off, and I'm getting kinda excited again. :D

Couldn't find another thread about this - apologies if I've missed it and this has already been covered Just wondered if anyone had recieved a phonecall yet to say they've won a pair of tickets? There are only 90 pairs on offer, so I guess the odds are pretty slim. I've not heard anything yet Hears hoping :)

is there many special effects in the vivi ones? i remember them saying it was going to be full on like a show with magic balls and everything, i haven't seen many videos so i dont know if it's true....:\

Hi my name is Angie and I have a Jonny addiction. :P I scheduled some vacation time to go to Toronto but the shows were moved, so now I have time off and Jonny is coming to your towns. :D I would like to go to 2 of these shows. But which 2? DC looks to be a go as it is in between the other 2. So should I try for Boston/DC or DC/ Philly combo? I need some tips on hotels, best way to get around in that city (cabs, subway etc) and just why I should choose your town. DC/ Philly has the added advantage of different on sale dates. Help me and I'll buy you a beer or something at the show. :kiss:

Hey There I am planing to go on a trip to europe and go to a some music concerts,preferably of coldplay. so i have few questions: 1.everywhere i looked the tickets are 100 euro + ,its very expensive ,how come? i thougth that concerts in europe will be cheaper then in Israel. 2.what are good and reallible sites to buy tickets? thank YOU :)

I need your opinion on this... Comparing the volume of their recent shows (Viva La Vida tour) to the last tour (Twisted Logic tour), was it just me or were the Twisted Logic shows impressively louder? It could depend on the venue of course. But generally speaking, there was a massive difference. As soon as Life In Technicolor kicks in, it's obviously lower in volume than expected (personally) and lower than their previous tours. Did you notice this as well? Any reason why? Was it differend in your city? Maybe I was just expecting my heart to be pounded out of my chest by the bass like the first time I saw Coldplay. Maybe not...

Four US shows announced We're pleased to be able to that Coldplay have confirmed four more US shows. They are as follows: Wed Oct 29 - Boston, MA - TD Banknorth Gardens (on sale Fri August 15 at 10am here) Fri Oct 31 - Washington DC - Verizon Center (on sale Fri August 15 at 10am here) Sat Nov 1 - Philadelphia, PA - Wachovia Center (on sale Mon August 18 at 10am here) Wed Nov 5 - Altanta, GA - Phillips Arena (on sale Sat August 16 at noon here) lucky gits!

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51400-shearwater-to-open-for-coldplay-too Sounds like people are in for a treat those dates, I haven't heard of them before, but what I'm listening to now is gorgeous!

Just heard that they will in fact be playing @ Gilette Stadium in Foxboro, MA on October 29th.... Not sure if this has been announced anywhere else on the forum. Season ticket holders were just made aware of this today... Kelly

The tour shirt has Anaheim, CA listed in between Salt Lake City and Phoenix... however, there has been no released date out yet. WHat are your thoughts on this? Is it possible that a show is in the works and they are working out a date, and are waiting to announce it? I would love to see them here again in southern california. Since the LA Forum show I've thought of nothing but how incredibly awesome it was and how I need to see them again. Hopefully up closer.

With a lot of AWESOME music festivals between europe and u.s. the band has played only to a mediocre festival like the one in Pemberton. Do you think it's a coldplay's choice ?

Why not Death, Yes, and Cemeteries? I am hoping that they are not playing these songs as perhaps these songs are more difficult to nail live without the full production including extra musicians. Nevertheless, the absence of these songs is quite conspicuous among the early performances. I hope these don't turn into songs like Spies, Sparks, See You Soon, etc. which are great live, but the band completely neglects (how can you neglect your own greatness?). Side question. I have never heard of the band playing I Ran Away or Murder live. Anyone know of them playing these two songs live? Each time I hear these songs, I think, "whoah, this would sound terrific live!…

Hey Everyone! Coldplay recently performed at the TD Banknorth Garden, but did the show live up to standards? And what celebs were found enjoying the show? Read all about the concert here in Boston Music Spotlight's review: http://bostonmusicspotlight.com/article.php?id=1334

For those who : - didn't follow in details this first leg - didn't unterstand my blog ( http://coldplay-vivalavida-tour-stats.blogspot.com/) - want more information I suggest this summary to you : On average, there was 20 songs a concert. These songs can be easily distinguished : Lost ! 42 Chinese sleep chant Clocks Death and all his friends Death will never conquer Fix you God put a smile In my place Life in technicolor Lovers in Japan The scientist Violet hill Viva la vida Yellow Strawberry swing Yes Politik Speed of sound Sometimes, some songs appeared : The hardest part The dubliners Square one Green eyes …

How do the acoustic songs sound live at the concerts .??? I would think they would sound really good but when I listen to them on youtube they sound horrible. It's probably just the audio at the venues

Not sure how many people in toronto know this, but there was a contest earlier today (Wednesday) for anyone who wants to check out Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland being interviewed by Bookie (not sure if there is going to be an acoustic set). I was wondering how many people have entered and won? Luckily I entered so I get a chance to finally see Chris and Jonny up close, maybe i'll be lucky enough to get a picture, too. Is there anyone else going?

just heard an interesting little blurb on XM radio from Chris where he says they weren't ready to go ahead with the tour and instead went back to England where he worked out to get into better shape (lost 12lbs) and did some vocal training as well. Dunno if this is old news or not but I found it rather amusing...

anyone? roughly?

August 3, 2008 11:03 am Coldplay.com caught up with Jonny before the second Toronto show Hi Jonny, how are you? I'm good, thanks. How's the tour going? Really well actually. From it starting at Madison Square Garden - well I suppose that wasn't really a start so so much as a false start - it's gone really well. The shows have been getting better and better, I think. I hope so, anyway. Does that tend to happen? Yeah. But we didn't start from quite as bad a place as we have done in the past. Normally it takes us about 25 shows to get anywhere near good. But I feel like this time we've started a bit better than we usually do. It sounds like the show has c…
