The Escapist (Outro)

[Clocks In My Place]

Yaaaaaay! Finally! I've been hoping and waiting for this for months! :dance:

 

I have to save up much money, because I already have tickets for Wembley Sep 19th and I can't leave that out! I'm definitely trying to get tickets to this. :D

 

These news totally made my day. :dance:

[Mattolinko]

Oh...my!

They're going to DK! I can't believe it!

I wonder if my parents will let me go...

[Gya]

I want to go there to!

 

 

Would someone from you translate this for me please?

 

Billetpriser:

 

Inderscene Ståplads: 595,00 DKK + gebyr

Alm. Ståplads: 450,00 DKK + gebyr

 

As far as I understand both are standing tickets?? The first category seems to be closer to the stage and the second further away. Or what does Ståplads mean?

Google translator doesn't work for it.

 

And holy shit, tickets are even more expensive than in Germany :(

And I had no idea that you guys don't have €! :sombrero:

[Clocks In My Place]

Billetpriser:

 

Inderscene Ståplads: 595,00 DKK + gebyr

Alm. Ståplads: 450,00 DKK + gebyr

Ticket prices:

 

Inner scene Standing: 595,00 DKK + charge

Ordinary Standing: 450,00 DKK + charge

 

Yeah, they're pretty expensive, I think so too... :\

 

I'm so excited though! :dance:

[Gya]

Thank you!! :kiss:

 

Can't wait to see Coldplay and your country Denmark :dance:

[Clocks In My Place]

No problem. ;)

 

:dance:

[RoosAnne]

yeeeeah, i'm coming too!:dance:

[Stefan8]

Inderscene Ståplads: 595,00 DKK + gebyr

Alm. Ståplads: 450,00 DKK + gebyr

 

So what's the difference? They have like two standing areas? And no seating?

 

I might go to this one, although it's expensive. € 80,- + shipping costs and fees...

Yep, they have only standing areas. The first one is closer to the stage.

[Gya]

I think you can print the ticket at home. That's not so expensive then. Still expensive, though.

[Gya]

So that everyone knows how awesome mc_squared is... thanks to him I will be able to visit this concert! :earmuffs: Thanks again.

 

I only got a ticket that is further away.. but who knows maybe this will be better in the end. More time for Denmark, stalking..., then I don't have to queue the whole day, and since it's Open Air, I will be able to enjoy the athmosphere and don't have to run like a nutcase.

[Clocks In My Place]

mc_squared got you a ticket? :surprised: Cool. They still have tickets for sale on the website though.

 

My mothers boyfriend ordered for my big brother and me two inner standing tickets (yay!) and ordinary standing tickets for himself and my mother. :dance:

Unfortunately, we've got two tickets too much right now, because you weren't able to order the inner standing tickets from the start, which were the ones that my brother and I wanted. So four ordinary tickets was ordered, but then the function came to the site after 1½ hour (!). :\

[Gya]

Yes, but I don't have a credit card :embarassed:

 

Well, can't wait for the gig and hopefully to meet some Danish fans.

[RoosAnne]

we aren't that many danish fans here on coldplaying.

but at least you can meet Julie and I :D:D

[Clocks In My Place]

Yup that's right. ;) :D It'd be cool if we met each other by chance.

 

I got the tickets by mail yesterday btw, so that went fast. :nice:

 

I'm excited about seeing what size the innerscene area is.

[RoosAnne]

I tried to google MCH arena and found this picture ..

Guess the innerscene is the part of the arena closest to the stage, right?

The innerscene doesn't seem that big though, which actually is a good thing - then the chance of FRONT ROW is bigger:D:D.

[Gya]

You already got your tickets? Great! :wideeyed:

I'm always so scared they could get lost in the mail, haha.

 

How many people fit in the MCH arena at all? Maybe I should get one of these seats... as I am rather small. Gah, last time I was front row, can't believe I will be so far away this time... but at least I will see other people in front of me now, makes you feel more to be a part of the crowd, I guess.

Hope you guys get front row :sultan:

[Clocks In My Place]

Thanks for the photo RoosAnne - just what I needed. That was what I was thinking/hoping; the smaller the innerscene area is, the bigger is the chance for front row. :P

Do you have any idea how many people there are in this picture? :thinking:

 

Thanks G o A. I hope we get front row too. :D

[Gya]

I was just thinking... there's a line... space... between both areas, I should get there, maybe Chris is running past :p

 

 

MCH Messecenter Herning, MCH Herning Kongrescenter, and SAS Arena

 

SAS Arena comprises:

 

* 7,300 seats

* 4,500 standing places

 

I'm confused. The name of the arena seems actually to be "SAS Arena", the rest around it is called "MCH".

 

 

 

No idea, if they will play in that stadium, or like in the first picture, Roos Anne has posted.

 

But only around 12.000 people? I thought it'd be more. (But I like it smaller anyway :square: )

[RoosAnne]

thanks G o A - hope you get the place you're looking for too.:)

I don't know how many people fit in the arena, can't find it on the internet too, but it seems to be quite a lot..

It shouldn't be that hard to get front row though. We just have to be there early.

I'm soooooo exited. And since this will be the first concert of their european stadium tour, it may get really nice - (Probably a new setlist and other surprises)!!:D:D

[Gya]

I hope so. I love surprises :happy2:

[RoosAnne]

Now I'm confused too:) but on my ticket it says "MHC outdoor arena".

SAS arena is the football stadium of the local football club ..

[Gya]

Then I guess it will be like in the photo you have posted...!

[Gya]

As it seemed there is going to be a Camp Coldplay :wacky: I wrote an e-mail to MCH.

 

That's what I got back:

 

 

Dear Marina

 

Thanks very much for your mail and your interest in the Coldplay concert.

 

We are working on making an english version of the website, so more people will have the possibility to follow our preparations for the concert.

 

The plans for Camp Coldplay are not final yet, but we are thinking about making a camp very close to the concert arena, where fans can stay before and after the concert. It will be affordable and it will probably be possible to buy a complete package including a tent for those who do not want to bring their own.

 

We will make sure the site will get an English version and then you just have check for updates and news. It will also be possible to sign up for news on the e-mail or on your cell phone.

 

Venlig hilsen

 

Johnny Frandsen

Projektkoordinator

 

 

That sounds awesome!

The local camp-site doesn't write back to me, and the hostel is already booked out...!! (The hotel just next to the arena is a way too eeeexpensive)

I guess I will feel pretty lost in the middle of so many Danish fans.. but well, I haven't camped for a while, so this will be getting exciting! :lol:
