I noticed in your signature: Tampa

08/09/09 IN THE PIT!!! Postponed!! "I'll always be waiting for you!"

 

Aw, that's sweet Kaleigh!

 

thanks! :)

Yeah...now almost closing.....

 

 

 

I've heard the same about the Charlotte show. This happened before, a few years ago in New York. Chris went on stage with a cold and his voice went out...they had to stop the show. :/

 

Hey there Thinline..

 

I was actually at that show in NYC (Madison Square Garden!) a few years ago. I don't remember them stopping the show...I just remember Chris having a hard time reaching some notes and his voice was giving out here and there. They were going to hit Florida (Tampa in fact) that next week when they had to postpone due to his health. Hopefully everything works out and they reschedule to appease most of the Coldplay fans!

It seems as though "Dianne and them" as you put it are actually enjoying themselves!

Bummer

 

Hey everyone! I've been following this forum since got the tickets when they went on presale and I found out about the show being postponed by LiveNation e-mail..

 

Just want to say that I hope whoever is feeling under the weather gets better and that I'm looking foward to whatever comes next.

 

It's great to meet you all!

We tried to enjoy ourselves. We went to the venue and sweet talked the parking/security guard into letting us go in the venue to take pics and we wanted to see the inside layout . The pit was set up with folding chairs. It was good size but not huge like at Home Depot Center in Los Angeles. Then we went to Chilis for margaritas and boo hoo'd at 9:00. And it was a beautiful night here, too. No rain today or tonight, but it aS freaking hot today.

Crown Royal and Patron used to dull the pain of a Jonnyless Sunday night. If they announce Thursday as the makeup before I leave on Monday evening, I will call in sick to work and stay til then.

I'm amazed that they let you in. You ladies must have really turned on the charm!

 

Did you happen to notice what the "orchestra" section seats look like at the back of the floor? Are they elevated from front to back? I would probably go for those seats if they are still available when they announce the new date, assuming it will not be this coming week.

The concert she's talking about happened much earlier than 2005 - 2001 is more like it, I think.

 

Feel sorry for people who bought tickets - but how likely is it that someone supposedly catches the flu in SUMMER? Good god.

They haven't cancelled it, it has been postponed.

Ah...thanks Cobalt for the update! I thought they were referring to the show back in 2005! I work at a doctors office here in Florida and we do have a few cases in the summer of patients with the flu! So it does happen!

I sent Babrlgum an email yesterday and Tom sent me one this morning saying he still hasn't heard anything:( I will post soon as I hear anything, he is supposed to call me, but if he hasn't heard anything I guess I won't get a call.

It is very unlikely that this is happening this week, I have a feeling they are going to cancel all together, or IF they have a Latin tour, we will probably still not really be confirmed, cause they haven't issued any tour dates for those Latin ones yets.:(

Pfft. But it's *warm* in summer. :inquisitive:

thanks for the update, tracey. i'm really hoping they still consider a reschedule, but at this point i'm feeling that it might be canceled too :(

haha :lol: trust me, i live in FL and I think i've gotten the flu more during the summer and hottest times in the state :P

My worst flu ever was in summer. Since then I hate "air conditioning" machines.

viruses

Viruses (viri?) LOVE warm! The reason people generally get more colds and flu in the colder months is because people gather in more confined spaces then, and viruses are more easily spread. The H1N1 virus, for example, is doing quite well for itelf this summer, but expected to be very wide-spread staring in September, when school resumes for most.

Thanks guys for confirming that you can catch the flu in the summer! So if you think about it...when the guys are doing all these shows...your immune system has to be weaker the longer you go at this pace! So maybe Chris was in that situation and had contact with someone....

Tom Petty..... The waiting is the hardest part......

Just wish they would say something, anything...............

Hmm... so no news yet this morning? :(

What are the chances that if they go back home for that leg of the tour that they'll come back to do just one show?

 

I'm not really familiar with large concerts.. lol
