Competition: http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/music/artists/coldplay/article/3455.html

 

Coldplay are one of the biggest bands in the world right now, so we thought that we should give you one of the biggest Coldplay prizes in the world!

 

This is a money-can't-buy Coldplay experience.

 

On the 26 September, we'll be flying a listener and a friend from a secret location in the UK to Munich... with Coldplay. Yes, with the band themselves!

 

When you get to Munich you'll be given an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour to see what goes on backstage, have a bit of dinner while you're there, then you'll have the chance to sit in on their sound-check before the show.

 

Naturally, you'll get to see the Coldplay gig, who have become legendary for their energetic and passionate live acts over the past few years. Straight after the show, you'll then be flying home with the band, rounding off your ultimate Coldplay experience.

 

How to enter

 

We want to make sure the tickets go to the biggest Coldplay fan in the world, so we've devised a cunning scheme to find out who that is.

 

First of all, register here to get your name into the running. You must chose a Coldplay song and a topic.

 

If you are chosen to go on air, you must sing about your topic along to a karaoke version of the Coldplay song. Don't have a clue what we're on about? Check out Christian and Brian having a go!

All the daily winners will come into the studio on Thursday 25 September for the final Coldplay quiz. Contestants must bring a friend with them to be their 'Phone A Friend' lifeline.

 

The small important bit: Winner must have valid passport and be able to fly to Munich on Friday, returning Saturday very early morning. Daily winners must be able to travel to London for Thursday's Breakfast Show for the final.

Singing down the radio? I won't be entering that then :(

Why not??:confused:

No way on earth I could do it. Even for the chance to fly with Coldplay.

Well I'm sure there are far worse voices on X Factor!!

I'm sure there are, but they have no shame :lol: Whereas I'm mortified if I have to speak to more than two people at once :P

I suggest you steer clear of public speaking work then!!:rolleyes:

This is fantastic! I wish so much that I lived in the UK so I could try!

cooooool new name and a fab new comp. we love ya Virgin/Absolute.

 

and I'm the same as Mich. the world does not deserve to have to listen to my pathetic attempts at singing. it was bad enough when i speed talked at Ben

It says they want a true fan to win...seems unfair that you have to have balls of steel to be deemed a true fan :lol:

the two hosts attempts are pretty cool.

 

I'd be interested to know who's judging the winner

so, now i'll move to the UK to participate :smug:

okay, sooooooooo rummaging around, I've added 2 + 2 and come up with a theory.

 

you have to be free to go to the studio on the morning of 25th. you'll be flying with the band on the 26th. there is no concert on the 25th. i'd hazard a guess that the judge could in fact be 4......

And it appears that the radio station will play the show at some point

 

Christian has devised a cunning prize plan: a behind the scenes tour backstage; sit in on their soundcheck; watch the gig; and fly back to the UK with the band. To my innocent eyes, it seems the only downside is that you will be accompanied by Christian. Not surprisingly, this great prize is being offered on his show next week.

 

And for everyone else, Absolute Radio will be playing out Coldplay's Munich gig in it's entirety. Stay tuned for dates and times, as well as more exciting Absolute Live music.

I don't know if I would put my dignity on the line for this! :D

I gotta move and learn how to sing:rolleyes:

No one from the UK here who is trying to win this?? Come one, guys!!

I do hope that one of our happy band of coldplayers wins!!! I was going to enter myself until I found out the details, so it ain't happening now. Plus I have no mates who like them, so I'd have nobody on my side!!

:stunned:This is crazy!

At first I bought tickets for the Munich concert, then it turned out that I´m in England at the 26th September and I sold my tickets, and now I can win tickets to fly from England to Munich to the concert WITH COLDPLAY and sing karaoke?

wtf?

Gogogo! :dance:

ooh That'd be so much fun to do it ! i'm saying that now, but I'm not sure I'd be entering if they did it in France.. :uhoh: :lol:
