nats_kiwigirl Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 My friend and I accidentally both bought tickets to this show, so I'm selling two if anyone's interested? These are the better seats that we got as we ended up having to get 3 in a row, not two. To be honest i'm kind of gutted to have to give them up :) Not looking to make a profit, just to sell them. They're silver admission tickets, so I paid $260 for them, seats 719 and 720, row DD, so front row of the upper bowl directly opposite the stage. ie. as good as you're going to get for this price. Let me know if you want them, or you know someone else who might. Ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busybeeburns Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Coldplay Touch Down in New Zealand Ahead of Auckland Shows Coldplay, have touched down in Auckland ahead of their two New Zealand shows. They flew in on Tuesday night from Sydney, after playing 11 concerts in Australia, as well as performing a set at one of two Australian Sound Relief concerts, to aid Victorian bushfire and Queensland flood victims. The last time Coldplay were in New Zealand was at the Big Day Out in 2001. They are in the middle of a world tour for their latest album Viva La Vida. They play at Auckland's Vector Arena on Wednesday and Thursday night. http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/536641/2560201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaden Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Just got back now, awesome concert!!! Roger Dawltrey from the Who in attendance, Chris stuffed up during Postcards from Far Away - apparently put off by Roger being there so started again! A couple of lines from Behind Blue Eyes was included in one of the songs (The Scientist perhaps?). No major surprises to the setlist - Glass of Water, I'm a Believer included and also a few bars of "Four Seasons in One Day". Also whilst up the back after doing Green Eyes and Will's song, they got the crowd to perfom the first mobile phone mexican wave ever (supposedly) and exclaimed it was for YouTube Great concert!

busybeeburns Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Coldplay Review: Vector Arena, Auckland 19 March To be honest, I'm not a huge Coldplay fan, but they undoubtedly have one of the best stage productions I've ever experienced. Coldplay have truly perfected the art of a sound and light show. The visuals were stunning and these guys really know how to look after their fans, with big crystal clear screens halfway down the Arena, walkways on both sides of the main stage and a set played right up in amongst the cheap seats. And you'd have to be a narc not to love the yellow balloons. The entire show was wonderfully choreographed, and the production values for the background videos were amazing. I may not be a died in the wool Coldplay fan, but for my money it was a great show, and Lost is going straight into high rotation on the iPod. Will Champion one of those unique percussionists with perfect timing. Maybe it's just me, but the sound seems to have improved dramatically since the first concerts at Vector Arena. Anyone else think so? http://www.eventfinder.co.nz/news/2009/03/coldplay-review-vector-arena-auckland-19-march?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss&utm_campaign=rss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
