August 9, 200916 yr This is really terrible guys. They WILL be back...... Good things come to those who wait.:) I would like my fix right away too, I bought tickets 6 months ago, and then won a contest, that put me into a Coldplay tailspin, and then BOOM, BOOM, POW, the energy just left my body yesterday, Coldplay is a class act, and I want each of them to rest, and feel better for everyone overseas who have been waiting just as long or longer, it's unfortunate for everyone, but nobody can change what has happened, so if I have to watch my 2003 DVD and YouTube past performances until they come back, so be it. Cheer up Jason, we are all in the same boat, VIVA LA VIDA!!:kiss
August 9, 200916 yr I wonder for the next tour (for another album) if they'll ever add a Tampa date again... I wouldn't. But Coldplay is the type of band that would play Tampa again just to prove they can do it healthy and give a great show.
August 9, 200916 yr Don't think there will be a show this week simply because they start the european tour next sunday and to be honest they can't really risk it that chris won't be fit for that part. if you look at depeche mode's postphoned dates from may this year (because Dave Gahan was sick), they are now in January 2010. So my guess would be that they will tag before or after south america whenever this may be. P. Plus they need some time to bring back all the equipment from the US to Europe to set it up as well ... A date later in the week (if it happens) would also endanger their future schedule and would make it even more stressful for everyone ...

I am hoping for a 2010 reschedule date, so I can ty and make it then. :) The reschedule will happen, and whenever it may be, it will be worth the wait! :D The boys never disapoint!

Cheer up Jason, we are all in the same boat, VIVA LA VIDA!!:kiss It's just the whole thing. This is my last year of school coming up and I hate school. This show was going to be my motivation to get happy and ready for everything, I just turned 18 and my brother and I were going to take out first road trip by ourselves. But I will wait...I guess :\ I hope Chris gets better so when I eventually see them live he can put on the incredible show they always do.

Once they announce when it's rescheduled, use that as motivation. :) Coldplay is good motivation!!
August 9, 200916 yr The Tampa curse :evilgrin: :vampire: :evil: :anxious: It's the witches........ We go underneath the arches Where the witches are in the BAY There are ghost towns in the ocean OFF TAMPA BAY Singing lalalalalalalalaiy And the night over Tampa still lays.....................
August 9, 200916 yr Babelgum, who ran a competition for tickets to the gig, called the winner, Tracey, up and told her it was Chris. Hopefully the ambulance was just a coincidence, I think if any of the band members had ended up in hospital the press would have found out by now. That's true. And really, it was just there. I saw no big commotion, no moving out of the way, nothing at all like that. Most likely nothing serious, but after seeing the notice on the web site, I got worried :( I noticed the Saratoga Springs show ended up being rescheduled about 2 months after the original date. I don't know if that's possible for the Tampa gig, because they were getting ready to go overseas. Does anyone have an idea of what the chances of getting a rescheduled date in the next month are? It would've been cool to see some Coldplayers today, finally. In Charlotte, I saw 2 from far away wearing the Coldplaying shirts :)

P.

August 9, 200916 yr Thursday is the only possible date left this week, as the venue has nothing going on, but that cuts it so close having to go overseas for the 16th. Thanks Tracey :) By the way, if something happens and Thursday ends up being the date, could all Coldplayers who made travel plans still be able to make it? I think I'm supposed to cover a meeting for work Thursday night. But if Coldplay's back on, I'll not only skip the meeting, but I will most likely leave work early. If anyone asks, I'll say it's because of an important emergency: Coldplay! And if it gets rescheduled with notice, I'll try to call up the radio station in Tampa, and ask them to shout out the glow sticks, so the whole venue is covered. Just a big ass thanks to the band for coming back, and still showing Florida some love.
August 9, 200916 yr I don't think they will risk playing again this week, its too close to call, and they obviously need their rest. I reckon it'll be tagged on to a South America tour.
August 9, 200916 yr Hello again fellow fans.. Any news/rumors on the possible rescheduling of the Tampa show? Thanks in advance.. Sam Gatorsamiam: Your concert history lists three previous concerts that were postponed. What is your guess on the outcome of this show, if you have one?
August 9, 200916 yr hey Starfish42...fortunately the 1st two concerts that were postponed were early in the tour and their was some flexibility in their scheduling. with this being the last official tour date in the USA and with them starting their European leg next week I think it's unfortunately unlikely they will play here any time soon! ;-( it's weird how Tampa now has been part of a couple of postponements (both due to illness) but once you look at how hard these guys tour...you just have to pray they are close to 100% by the time they visit your city. i had a weird feeling something might happen to the Tampa gig since it was the last stop...i was hoping they would play some classics mixed in with the updated setlist (since I saw them in Ohio last year) they have been playing..and i feel once they will reschedule...they will do something special for the Tampa fans. (A few years ago they posted a thank you note to the fans at the venue and even came out an hour or so between opening acts to apologize for canceling the first time!) hope that helps..i cross my fingers a miracle happens this week..but i just don't see it happening!

So my guess would be that they will tag before or after south america whenever this may be. P. That's my guess, too. Coldplay will most likely be out touring Central and South America in the next year. They could just swing up to Tampa from Mexico. What a treat it would be to have Coldplay return. It will likely be more than a month. On the other hand, they might pull it together for Thursday if Chris can manage it, then, they'd get it out of the way and satisfy everyone. I doubt that they would cancel the show entirely, since they are too fan-sensitive to do that. I know that they have at least two equipment sets, as they did back to back shows in the bay area and could not have possibly moved the whole set in one day. One of the sets has a huge digital computer screen that the other one doesn't. It's like the screen that Coldpaly used for the background digital clock in "Square One," the opening song for the X&Y tour, but it has vivid color.
August 9, 200916 yr it would be great for Thursday of course..but how many people can attend a rescheduled show that's pretty much still a last minute reschedule? from reading this thread i see there were quite a few people (from Cali to out of the country) that made special plans to see them in Tampa. i feel for those folks cause i went through the same thing last year when their Cleveland show (originally for July 2008) was pushed back (due to technical/stage issues). i had to switch my airline ticket (which is pricey already!) but the hardcore Coldplay fans will pretty much do anything to see them! i did!
August 9, 200916 yr That made me laugh, cause TMZ ran a piece on Tiger Woods standing in the fairway contemplating his next shot, and the audio wasn't on, but Tiger leaned into his bag and kinda lifted his leg and TMZ dubbed a huge fart in it.:laugh3::laugh3:what's more ironic is that I'm watching Tiger play at Akron on telly right now :P
August 9, 200916 yr what's more ironic is that I'm watching Tiger play at Akron on telly right now :P Are you actually the site owner? :cool:
August 9, 200916 yr When I heard from my parents that the concert was postponed due to Chris being ill, I was pissed. I was going to see Coldplay live for the first time for my B-Day and this happens. :( I hope Chris Martin gets better soon. I hate to have my favorite band member sick. My B-Day is 8/25!
August 9, 200916 yr what's more ironic is that I'm watching Tiger play at Akron on telly right now :P Me too!!!! Just got in from the pool and have my popcorn:D
August 9, 200916 yr OK updates from some Tampa Coldplayers.....Dianne and kelly had some lunch on the St.Pete pier, looking for the Hardest part stage. Then they went on a dolphin cruise.... They are also with Denise (iiriden) from Italy and her Coldplay obsessed friend Helena. They are soaking in the Tampa, Florida rays!!!!
August 9, 200916 yr yes, and don't be sad, be happy.. Tampa will not be left out! :D :sunny: :cool: Thanks :cool: ;) OK updates from some Tampa Coldplayers.....Dianne and kelly had some lunch on the St.Pete pier, looking for the Hardest part stage.

That is nice!!! :sunny: Weather in Tampa now 97F (Iphone weather) At this time we were supposed to be cooking on line to get in first. :(
August 9, 200916 yr I gotta say the Coldplay team are poor when it comes to providing information, it was like this last time too... I know they probably haven't finalised any details but an update would be have been nice. Just to say "oh hey there's a medical problem, we're postponing' and then to not say anything else is poor. At least a quick update to say 'don't worry, we're woking on a new date but it won't be anytime this week/month' they must know that people will have travelled, is just the polite thing to do. Plus they know people are going to worry when they use terms like "medical reasons" :rolleyes: Anyway, just my two cents. Stop being so secretive Coldplay :P
