MartinFan Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yeah Lola is right, they might stay closer to the airport, if they leave the states for back home right after the concert, OR maybe their families will be here and they go visit the MouseHouse? LOL they might relax alittle at area attractions, maybe Bush Gardens, probably not tho.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localola86 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 ew stalkers We're just joking Lalo! :laugh3: Fans sometimes wait outside the hotel where their favorite artists are staying when they are in town for a concert. If fans are lucky, and artists are nice, the fans can get to see them and even get an autograph and/or picture. That's not stalking, is it? :uhoh: haha, yeah! you might be able to get an upgrade :) i still dunno what time i'll be getting there yet. stupid work. hopefully early, or it might end up being like Orlando, right when the opening act was playing, lol. ooh, I'd like to see the band at their hotel or def. before the show...yeah, my stalker side might come out in august lol :wiseguy::laugh3: my friend and i would love to meet with everybody while waiting too! __________________ An upgrade would be my dream come true :D, but I'm glad with the tickets I got :smug: (not that I would not accept an upgrade :P) My motive for getting early is to listen to the soundcheck, or get a glimpse of the band when they get to the venue. oh, yes, and give thanks to the roadies :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL they might relax alittle at area attractions, maybe Bush Gardens, probably not tho.:confused: Actually, there are very fancy hotels near the airport (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Renaissance) Also, there is this mall called International Plaza, which is the fanciest one in Tampa, where all the luxury stores are located. Oh, and it has this nice outdoorsy area with fine restaurants. When celebrities come to Tampa, they are usually spotted here. Haha, I know so much, the band should hire me as their tour guide or something :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinFan Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 LOL, you would make a good tour guide for them, but I doubt if you would be able to concentrate, showing them around, you would be like " Yes and if you follow me down the road a way's I can show you the best Condo's here in tampa, and I shall fix you some tea" Nope you wouldn't be able to do it:smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, now that gives me an even bigger reason to get there early! :lol::D Just wondering, can we just randomly go to a soundcheck? I thought you had to win a competition or be invited to attend? Haha, I know so much, the band should hire me as their tour guide or something They totally should, lol! you would make a great tour guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe those who buy VIP packages get to be inside or win a competition (usually from a TV or radio station) :( I know 97X FM is the radio station sponsoring the concert. They gave a presale code, and were giving away tickets (I entered the online raffle cuz if you never try, you never know :rolleyes:) But if we're there early, we could put on our puppy faces (:embarassed:) and beg them (the roadies, becuase the venue people are more likely to be mean) to let us inside.

"Please, please, please" The cool thing about this venue is that since it's outdoors, you can hear the sound checks really, really well. so although you can't see the band sound checking (unless luck strikes you and you do get this opportunity!) you can hear all the stuff they say, play, etc.. I'll be getting there early to at least hear it, lol. It's the only treat besides the actual set, since I've given up hope on the seat upgrade miracle. It's meant for someone else, but not for me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie! Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I went to a concert at the Amphitheatre last year in August, and they didn't even open the doors to the concert until an hour before. :cry:I don't know if that's what always happens but last time, there was just a line wrapping around the parking lot. However, once the doors opened, the line moves pretty fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSpies84 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I don't know for sure at what time the gates will open. They usually open an hour before the opening act, no? And by that time, there's already a giant line! And at this venue, there's gates, but after they open, it's like a courtyard/food court thing where you can buy merch, all kinds of food, beer, cocktails, lol. And theeeen you walk up to the actual venue. But it's all open, so you can hear everything even if you're not in the courtyard. Outside the gates it's like a mini complex, with benches, little water fountains, a gazebo. I remember walking through there and sitting while waiting for the gates to open. And I could hear the Eric Clapton soundcheck, it was very cool. I think it's safe to say I'll be there way before the gates open, haha! Does anyone know when the sound check usually happens?

This just doesn't happen to me! Which sucks for my friend, 'cos she's going with this super jinx. When it happens randomly and last-minute like it happened to you, it's gotta be the best thing ever! Would be it rude to ask...or beg? LOL, just kidding. I wonder if in this venue layout they'll do the acoustic set the same as at the Orlando venue...

Sure enough, he walked over to my friend and I and the rest is history! So you don't necessarily have to beg or ask, haha, just catch their eye! :D anyway, i'm not sure if they'll do the acoustic set again. i hope so because i thought it was a nice gesture to the fans with crappy seats. but i have a feeling that they might add a new thing or two to this leg of the tour.

MartinFan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Last gig in America before they head back home, I can imagine they will do the different stages as usual, they will rip it up being it's their last stop here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfit00 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hey guys! I love the idea of the yellow glowsticks! I am also in Section 8 - Row B, and add me in! I will be bringing a bag of yellow glowsticks to cover at least 50-70 people. Make sure to spread this at least in sections 8-10, and also in the West Palm Beach show (For those of you who are going to both of them). We must make a memory of welcoming Coldplay, and a memory of saying goodbye to Coldplay as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lalo5 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yeah, they should play in Orlando too! :D They already did this tour already, I was there amazing show. It would be really cool being the last show in the USA and all to introduce us to a new song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfit00 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 It is my dream to hear "Moses" live by Coldplay. If you haven't heard it, it is in the Live 2003 DVD & CD. I will try to make a big sign saying: "PLEASE PLAY MOSES". I am in section 8, so it would be practically impossible for the band to see the sign from such a long distance (Even if it has lights on it). :cry: Hopefully, I'll ask a roadie for a ticket upgrade and I'll show it to the boys if I get to sections 1, 2 or 3. :) Another possibility would be to give the sign to someone who has a seat in sections 1, 2, or 3, and ask them to show the sign to the boys. :D Let's pray, wouldn't you like to hear 'Moses' live? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
