March 8, 200917 yr Perhaps that could be expanded to name badges...is that silly? Nothing expensive, just maybe a plain, white sticker that could be removed once we were all acquainted. When we were in London it wasn't long before we were all hanging out like a group of old friends, but the initial introductions were a little awkward. Especially when I was introducing one person I'd never actually met to another person I'd never actually met. :lol: I think that's good idea. The names behind usernames idea was good too, but I don't think that anyone would learn over hundred people usernames and names. :D Because we don't know yet who will be lining up with who (meaning the gates..)
March 8, 200917 yr so what are the news about the t-shirt project? we'll be a yellow wave or not? :) ah and i do have some badges to print and put my name on it. :p
March 8, 200917 yr Author 102 :dance: awesome we passed the 100 barrier :dance: edit question... could the list of peeps maybe be updated with peoples own names behind their username (for the ones who don't mind obviously) so that when you get to wembley you won't be calling them proffesa or texas :P Perhaps that could be expanded to name badges...is that silly?

The names behind usernames idea was good too, but I don't think that anyone would learn over hundred people usernames and names. :D Because we don't know yet who will be lining up with who (meaning the gates..) definitely think having stickers at the venue will be best bet. when we were queuing before, someone would mention a name at which point a discussion would ensue as to which username they were, and we kept getting confused!! so what are the news about the t-shirt project? we'll be a yellow wave or not? :) ah and i do have some badges to print and put my name on it. :p t-shirts will definitely be go. the poll as to which shop we'll be using finishes this weeked. so keep an eye out for developments in the next few weeks :D
March 8, 200917 yr Just got my tickets for this date :) It said standing & level 1 unreserved seats. So does that mean you can either stand / sit, and the earlier you get there the nearer the front you will be... And also the time said 16.00, is this what time it starts, or what time the doors open? What time should I get there, to get the best possible veiw? And Girls Aloud and Jay Z are supporting, right? Thanks!!

Thanks!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay 103 :dance: For your tickets, yes that's true, you have an option of seating or stadning. 16.00... I'd THINK that's when gates open, but I may be wrong :thinking: The earlier the better :D And yes to the support acts, though there will probably be more announced in the near future. squeeeeeeeeeeeee :dance:

Level 1 standing/unreserved seats is the pitch standing area plus the lower tier of seats which are unreserved. Doors open at 16:00, with performances around 17:00 ish. Get there as early as possible
March 11, 200917 yr I haven't gotten my tickets as yet for this date but I ordered them and it said 2 STANDING & LEVEL 1 UNRESERVED what does that mean Also I dont know where Wembley is as I've never even been to London so this is all new... scary and exciting to me

With this type of ticket you can choose whether you want to stand on the pitch or sit in Level one when you are inside. You don't have a reserved seat. Have a look on the seating plan! Public transport site is here, have a look on the tube map, Wembley is in B3! 191 days!! :dance:
March 11, 200917 yr yeah I didnt realise it.... Thanks for all your help... I don't think I'd really wanna sit at a coldplay concert.... So it will be standing for me... as for getting there..... I'm gonna stay with my cousin who lives in London and we're gonna go to the show together

This is a big help. Flying into Gatwick and taking direct train into London... just wondering if there is train all the way to Wembley or better to take the tube from London. I looked at the Oyster card and might buy this. Have you used this card? It looks like it is good for train, tube and bus. I need the train and tube on Thursday and Monday to get from and to Gatwick airport, then rest of day Thursday and all day Sunday for siteseeing. Won't be going anywhere on Fri and Sat except for the concerts next door to hotel. It looks like you can use it any day any time while there.
March 11, 200917 yr Author I find the Transport for London site useful for planning tube/train.bus journeys. Just put in the 2 places eg Gatwick & london, and it'll tell you ways to do that journey
March 11, 200917 yr I looked at the Oyster card and might buy this. Have you used this card? It looks like it is good for train, tube and bus. Yes, Oyster Card is perfect!! When you arrive you have to pay a 3 GBP deposit for the card (you can get that back when you leave and don't want to keep it). I use it all the time! It's still lying on my table as I'll need it in less than 4 weeks again! Here is the link to a leaflet about prices but I can summarize it for you with this: There are 3-Day- and Week-Travelcards, but you should weigh up the pros and cons of travelcards. With a travelcard you don't have to calculate or think - you paid your ticket and just use it. If there will be days on which you won't need public transport however it might be cheaper to use Oyster pay as you go. There is a "daily price cap" with Oyster. You can see the amounts on page 7 of the leaflet. For example: If you only travel off-peak you will never pay more than 5,10 GBP a day, no matter how many tube or bus rides you take on that day. If you only travel twice within zones 1 and 2 on one day they reduce your balance by 3.20 GBP only... To summarize this: If you only need public transport on Thurs, Sun and Mon I'd recommend Oyster Pay as you go.
March 11, 200917 yr hi all. Is there some kind soul who'd be willing to get me up to speed on this? Just decided to splurge and plan a trip from US to Wembley for one of these shows- me and the wifey. How should I proceed? I assume the show is sold out? Am I correct that there are no good reserved seats? That either we go for the GA/Unreserved seats or buy reserved seats that are higher up? currently researching airfare and hotels.
March 11, 200917 yr I think there maybe one or two kind souls! ;) First stop tickets: http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/search?tm_link=tm_homeA_header_search&q=coldplay Not sure how delivery to the US works though, but at least tickets are still available. Jenjie et al. can help you with UK hotels, or do a search in this thread for hotel/accommodation, I know it has been discussed at length by the 100 or so Coldplayers who are going :)

March 12, 200917 yr Thanks for the help. So is general advice to get GA seats... I am willing to splurge and buy whatever, but it seems like reserved seats are all worse ?!? Is that right? and if so, why are the reserved seats sold out but GA available? Other worry is - at late 30s - no longer the youth I used to be... camping out, rushing for GA seats days are long gone

Other worry is - at late 30s - no longer the youth I used to be... camping out, rushing for GA seats days are long gone depending on how rich you're feeling, you could always splurge on Club Wembley seats. They're allocated, and the ones I saw last time I checked didn't seem too bad position wise
