cheers, i couldn't agree more. I've never entered any ticket competitions that have been late in announcing winners. Not that i remember anyway. I'm prety sure they wouldn't leave it this late on purpose because i am sure they'll realise the problems people will face on getting there with this late notice.

 

 

Thankfully it wouldn't be a problem for me however

don't despair folks. i've just recieved this very minute email confirmation that i'm a winner to see Coldplay perform at Brixton Academy on 16th June..Who hoo!!!

 

this is the first time i've been onto coldplaying to check the message boards to see if other winners had been notified, because i hadn't heard anything for both the Brixton and BBC gigs. Whilst i was reading the messages an email popped up.

 

Just stick with it guys. i have 48 hrs from now to register my tickets etc. I think they'll be notifying people until tomorrow.

 

all the best and i hope to see some of you there! OMG, how lucky would i be to see Coldplay at the BBC TV studios as well as Brixton??!! AND i've already been allocated 3 front tickets seats for the first UK gig at the NIA (after queuing for 3hrs!)

I'm also one of the new "lurkers" here. I registered a few days ago, just because I was curious about this contest. In spite of the terror of waiting for a sign, I really enjoyed the time I've spent here. You are all very kind and patient people!

 

At the time when I entered the competition, tickets from Holland (Eindhoven) to London (Stansted) and back were 20 Euro's each. A week ago they were 160 Euro's. I just checked ryanair.com: tickets are now 280 Euro's!!!! This means that, whatever the results of this contest are, I won't be able to get to London; this is far too expensive

 

I will be seeing Coldplay in Rotterdam in october anyway.

 

I wish you all good luck and hope that everyone in this thread will win tickets!!!

Wonderful news sandi102 and welcome! And thanks for lettng us all know.

 

Good luck one and all :)

Congrats Sandi!

 

I just checked my email and nothing....I never win in competitions :bigcry:

 

By the way.... are you from London?

so someone has won. i wonder if they send them out all at once?

 

congrats by the way :)

Nothing for me so far. I do quite often win competitions, but this has been a bad one for me from the very start lol.

 

Do we have a second winner yet?

Congratulations Sandi!

 

I haven't heard anything yet either, but I still have some hope left. I do win competitions from time to time, but never the ones I really, really want to win, typically enough.

anyone on the offical forums won anything?

I'm from near Birmingham, but I travel a lot to London with my job. On Mon i'm in Bury St Edmunds for the day and instead of returning home, I', now searching for a hotel near the Oval where i can crash for the night.

 

Have faith, these things happen when you least expect it.

 

now i'm going to tell you something that may freak you out...3 years ago, i entered a competition to see Coldplay at the very intimate Round Chapel in Hackney. I entered via the old forum on Coldplay.com.

 

I won! You may recall seeing this gig as MTV live, it was recorded and you can see me as I was standing right in front of the band. It was one of those most surreal, yet life changing experiences of my life. I never thought i'd win this competition, but the night before (and this is for real) i had a dream about the band, but i never got to hear what they wanted to tell me, but i could sense it was important, because my kids woke me up and i was kinda miserable for the rest of the day over this dream. I know, maybe its time i went for therapy.!!:D

Just got back from doing a few interviews.

 

My inbox is empty. Oh well, december it is then.

Congrats Sandi! Thanks for letting us know.

 

Good luck everyone else :D

Just one winner so far? Jeez this gig's going to be intimate!

i thought more than there would have been more than one winner on here. maybe they are sending them out in drips and drabs?

I WOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!!!!!!!! :D

while there is still only one winner i have hope. simply because anyone could just come on and say they've won. Not because i dont believe the person just that it would be so easy for me to say that i've won too :rolleyes:

That Sandi sure is a lucky girl! The only thing i've ever won was the signed 7" singles box set from coldplay.com last year, i'd happily trade it for a brixton ticket though!!

 

Ha ha, it's not really in the same league is it?!

I WOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!!!!!!!! :D

 

Great stuff!

 

Is there any chance the winners could check the emails and confirm what time they were sent? Then we might start to get an idea if they were sent all together or little by little.

If any one needs anybody for their 2nd ticket, I am readily available to go!

 

heh.

:uhoh:

I WOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!!!!!!!! :D

 

and you live in italy?

 

surely it would make more sense for people who live near london to win tickets?

I'm back, and nice to see they're following it through this time :dozey:

 

Did okay with the interview and stuff, Violet Hill, Yellow and Viva La Vida were played ALL IN A ROW :dance:

 

Although the convo went like this:

Guy: "Is it okay to play 3 Coldplay songs in a row??"

Girl: "Well yeah, why?"

Guy: "Well don't get me wrong, they're brilliant, but they're just a bit.. sad, y'know? I have nothing against them, but yeah"

:dozey: whatever

 

I just checked my inbox, nothing yet, and it's 10:15PM here so I'm headed off to sleep. I'll check in the morning and hopefully I'll get one. If not... well :bigcry: the last time I won something was when I was something like 7 and I got some Simpsons PC game but yeah, I never win these things... but fingers crossed.

 

One winner from CPing for Brixxy so far, I think we had around four or five for MSG, and that's 3000 people so I'm guessing we'll get three for this.

Hey Laura, well done and i look forward to seeing you there.

 

I'm assuming at least 500 tickets will be given away, that's 250 winners. I've never been to Brixton Academy, so what do you think the crowd capacity is in there?

TWO PEOPLE oh yay laura, lucky one of us waiting gang got it, congrats :]
