Gya Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Last week I bought my first Fair Trade chocolate... :builder2: This should count too, haha. Besides lot of other things, Coldplay costs lots of time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeahhright Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have spent a grand total of, drum roll please:drummer:, one dollar! Yes I have been a very bad Coldplay fan and only spent one dollar toward them which actually makes me very sad. I spent this one dollar on Parachutes when my local music store had a clearance sale and I brought home a bunch of different CDs on sale for one dollar of which only Parachutes turned out to be any good and transformed me into a massive Coldplay fan. The rest of their music has come to me courtesy of my local library and therefore has come at no cost to me, but I do plan on buying tickets to their next concert near me and a bunch of the aforementioned overpriced swag so I don't feel too bad.

Texasluvsjonny Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 :uhoh: I better not answer this one :lipsrsealed2: :D:rolleyes: Oh dear, gulp. 4 CDs, live 2003 DVD, 4 extra VLVs for friends/family, VLV vinyl, Prospekt's March, VH vinyl+mag, probably like 7-10 mags (some old ones from ebay), 6 concerts plus airfare to get there, a 7th free concert but with last minute plane ticket, 2 shirts, 2 posters, some singles, 7 guitar tab/ piano sheet music books, 3 tour programs, 3 crappy unauthorized DVD documentaries bought online, Chris Martin bracelets :D, new camera to make better videos :lol:, banners, Ho shoes, new acoustic guitar to play their songs, gosh I don't think I can add all this up. But it's in the thousands of dollars. :dizzy2: All my fault, sorry Lori. :laugh3: LOL Mel! I bet Angie has us all beat ( if you count all her air fare) But hey (shrugs) it's just money and we are talking Coldplay! :grin::D Yeah, I was just thinking that Angie would have us all topped. Get in here Angie and wow us with your numbers:lol: Hmmmmmmm How much have I spent on Coldplay? :thinking: I shudder to think. Most likely more than most of you will earn in your lifetime. :laugh3: I'll have to put together a list. God help me. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbella76 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Wow, Angie. $30k. That's amazing!! Do you save in between tours to have money to do this? I hope you aren't in debt or tapped out the retirement fund. But it is worth it. :laugh3: I can't even imagine. If I could afford to do it, I think I would, too, though. And 7 trips to look for Jonny! How do you know where to look? And to answer the thread question: I have spent about $2500.00 between tickets (only bought one at face value. The rest I paid alot through a third party to get good seats--and I bought tickets for my Dad and Uncle in 2006). Hotel in NYC, CD's, 1 tour program...I don't have too much memorabilia. I wanted to see them in London at Wembley but I don't think I'll be making it. The economy has affected me slightly and I think I need to save now. I still want to go to London regardless of seeing a gig or not so maybe in two years or so. :) OK after a little think, I have a semi guesstament. I'm sure I left tons of stuff out.
