Hey everyone,

 

I'll start from the beginning.

 

I got to abbey road at 11.30 and there was no one there apart from some tourists taking pictures and walking across the zebra crossing. Waited for about an hour and still no one had turned up so I went into the reception and was told to leave because I wasn’t authorised to be there. Things were not looking hopeful. A few people turned up a bit later including some obvious ebayers (those who get pictures signed to sell on ebay, not for their own pleasure!) and at about 4.30 a succession of mercedes came into abbey road at 5 minute intervals. First was will and he came over to the gates and signed for everyone and shook hands etc! Then Guy arrived and he did the same and both were lovely. Then Jonny arrived (my hero!) and I know you’re not gona believe this but I met him randomly in camden about a month ago (at which point I declared my love for him) so when he came up to us at abbey road he said hi to me and how are u?!?!?! I couldn’t believe it and so I asked him if he recognised me and he said “yeh, from Camden” and then asked my full name. I know it sounds ridiculous but I have proof from the people who were there! Chris arrived 5 minutes later but went straight in . Rumour has it that he was ambushed by paparazzi outside his house so wasn’t in the mood .

 

Ok so by this point more and more people started turning up and these women began checking people’s confirmation emails and checking their IDs and giving them tickets. I felt so gutted cos they said to me there was no point hanging around because there were absolutely no tickets spare and that the event had be oversubscribed so there wouldn’t be any room. But I stayed anyway because it was worth it on the off chance. At 6.45, the doors opened and the friends id made at the front of the queue all went in and I was left outside . By 7.30 everyone was in except for the VIPs and some late comers. My overall conclusion of the people that had gone in was very poor! They didn’t know anything bout coldplay which made me really mad because the real fans like us on this message board weren’t getting a chance to go and we’d appreciate it so much more. I think my point was proved when Tara Palmer Thompkinson turned up. (for all of you who aren’t English – she’s the Paris Hilton of the UK).

 

At this point I was getting desperate and I begged the women with the tickets to let me in. Matt McGinn (Jonny’s roadie) came out to let his girlfriend in so I asked him if he could get me in. He said he’d try his best but couldn’t promise anything. He came back and said he couldn’t get anyone else in! Gutted! Finally one of the women in charge came up to me and said that she’d try and get me in subtly cos didn’t want to piss off the organisers and by this point about 5 other non ticket holders had turned up too (theyd been there about 2 hours). 15 minutes came and went and I was so worried because it didn’t look like it was going to happen but then suddenly the guy on the door said ok “two at a time and make it quick” to us so we went up the steps of abbey road the down stairs into what I think was studio 2 but not sure. Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The gig was about to start and adrenaline just made me push my way to the front and nobody seemed to mind. Id say only about 250 people were there. I honestly could’ve touched jonnys pedals I was that close! They came on bout 2 mins after I got there so we’d really left it late getting in! Ok I’l try to remember the best and funniest bits of the gig.

 

The boys seemed to appreciate there were a lot of crap celebrities there and in Poltik Chris sang “Look at earth from outer space, so may big brother celebrities in this place”.

Chris was in such a funny mood and kept dedicating songs to a woman called Lynn who id queued with at the beginning. She was there with her son and chris kept calling her a yummy mummy!

 

Chris swore loads so was worried the songs wouldn’t be allowed on radio and he kept making references about kanye west (who had just arrived) and how cool he is.

They were told that theyd have to re record yellow or politik for radio cos the versions they did earlier in the set weren’t ok but they refused and did In my Place instead. What a bonus!.

Chris’ piano stopped working in Fix You so they had to start again and he sang a different melody in the verse which was cool.

It was over so quickly which was sad but the best moment of my life without doubt! I just can’t get over how close they were!

 

Anyway sorry that was so long but thought id tell u every detail. Anything else you want to know then just ask.

 

The celebrities that were there : Tara Palmer Thomkinson, Michael and Emily Eavis, Jamie Cullum, Kanye West, Chris Evans, Chief exec EMI, Paul Gambaccini.

 

Oh and btw, cameras and recording equipment were not allowed in although there was an official photographer and I got some on my phone too which I’ll post up with the set list soon!
