notlost92 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Does anyone know what this time switch means for lining up for the pit/soundcheck? should I get there earlier to line up, and will soundcheck be earlier? because I can't get there earlier than 2... :\ :thinking: apparently the gates still open at the same time, which I find odd :shrug: edit: wait, can you not even line up before 4? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzybear Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 yeah i guess there wont be any place to park b4 4pm from what im understanding....?? :confused: i guess ill get there right at 4 and hopefully thats good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notlost92 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 well I'm not parking, so that doesn't matter, but is there a place to line up before 4? like a gate outside the gate? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensgt Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I would assume that you cant line up until the gates open at 4. My question is this...since I have never had pit tickets...what the heck do you do if you have to pee? You basically have to go from 4pm until like 11pm without going to the bathroom or you lose your spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notlost92 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 All of the Coldplayers should look out for each other in the pit :) Cause there's no way I'm going 7 hours without going to the bathroom (or buying some more Coldplay merch :P), but I don't want to lose my spot because of it! So we should stand up for each other :dance: I think we'll recognize each other cause we'll be the ones sprinting to the pit when the gates open, while everyone else is walking :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shine7d Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Good point about the pee issue. I hope I can withstand. Personally I'm wondering how hot it will be in the pit. Is it so many people cramming together that your sweating. If so then I think I may wear shorts instead of jeans. Just Liz alone is going to put off so much heat staring at Guy that it could raise the temp 10 degrees. HaHa. Also, tennis shoes or flip flops? Anybody else have clothing issues?

jensgt Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I am wearing shorts for sure. I would definately not wear flip flops or you might fall running to the pit lol. I am SO glad its not raining today or tomorrow because once I get in that line at 4pm, my butt is sitting on the ground!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frangipanis Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I hope I'm over my cold by tomorrow, but I'll definitely be there super early. The Coldplaying pit is going to be an awesome crowd. :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanglass Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hey peeps! Last night I saw Keane in DC and they kicked butt! It was a good warm up for Coldplay for sure :-) Got some amazing pictures and really hope security is cool about cameras so I can get some pictures tomorrow night :dance: Can't wait to meet the coldplayers! Hoping to get there around 4:15 or 4:30 and my friends and I are bringing a couple of decks of cards so we can pass the time in the pit until all the casual fans show up closer to 7:00 :laugh3: Nothing more to say, just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh, and sorry if you wind up standing next to me because I plan to sing my heart out through the whole show LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillAlexandros Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Going to Nissan! Hey all, I'm new here, and this will be my first time going to Nissan tomorrow. I'm hearing a lot about the 4pm parking, does anyone know about the premier parking and how that works? I know it's $20+ or something like that, but I wonder how I can get it. Also, are there bathrooms before doors anywhere?????? I hear that there are porta potties somewhere, and before you get to Nissan that there is a Target/Burger King 5 minutes away from the venue. What happens if you get there at 2pm, is there anywhere to park temporarily? Thanks all! Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notlost92 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 ^^ Yeah, I'm going to be twittering via twitpic!

busybeeburns Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The warmth of 'Coldplay' extras Concert attendees receive band's latest album Coldplay When: 8 p.m. Thursday Where: Nissan Pavilion, 7800 Cellar Door Drive, Bristow, Va. Details: $24.75 to $97.50; 703-754-6400; http://www.livenation.com Put Coldplay's three 2009 Grammy Awards and front man Chris Martin's marriage to actress Gwyneth Paltrow aside for a minute. Coldplay has just proven -- once again -- that they're not caught up in all the traditional rock-and-roll egoism. Late last week, the band members announced those who attend the "Viva La Vida" summer tour will receive an exclusive live CD, "LeftRightLeftRightLeft," free of charge. "Playing live is what we love," the British alt rock quartet released in a prepared statement. "This album is a thank you to our fans -- the people who give us a reason to do it and people who make it happen." Coldplay has been riding high musically since last summer's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends," which won the coveted Grammy for Best Rock Album of the year and other honors. Publicists for the band have long said that the group doesn't fit into the popular music mold due to its "soulful, haunting, intelligent songsÉ" But others said the band, which had its first major label release in 2000, actually doesn't fit in because it achieved popular success fairly quickly. Jefferson Evans of Alexandria said he thinks the band's decision to release its current album free of charge may compel many to listen to the band without automatically dismissing them as a pop phenomenon. "I think it is a good ideal. They have gotten big enough to suffer a bit of the inevitable backlash when a band becomes 'too popular,'" said Evans. "I had e-mailed a number of friends after listening to the [latest] album, saying I was pleasantly surprised, and one had responded 'I promise not to tell anyone you listen to Coldplay.' [This will] create goodwill to solidify their base and counter any real or perceived backlash out there." Although Glen Boyd, assistant music editor at BlogCritics.com, doesn't think the tour will boost the band's popularity, he does see it as an interesting marketing move. "Coldplay emulates Radiohead in a lot of ways, so it only makes sense that they would follow the free download model established by Radiohead with 'In Rainbows,'" he said. "I don't think it will make a bit of difference as far as boosting their popularity or ticket sales though. They are already one of the biggest bands in the world." Don't think the free album giveaway is the only way Coldplay is reaching out to fans, presumably to retain the "biggest band in the world" title. LiveNation and Coldplay Web sites are filled with rave reviews of the concerts with fans talking about how the band members ran into the audiences, played from mini-stages situated to everyone could see them, and otherwise reached out. "The concert is completely worth it," said one fan. "The [band members] talk to you and make you feel worth it when you are there." http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxy6013 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Good morning everyone! What a wonderful day to go see Coldplay! I live in Frederick right now, and I'm leaving here around 3, and going to camp out of my car till the doors open. I'm a disabled vet, so I'll be in a handicapped spot. Hopefully that'll put me fairly close to the doors. I'm in section 304 in row A. I can't stand for long periods of time, which is why I didn't get a pit ticket. Anyways, I'm excited! This is my first concert going solo though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueDeNimes Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Cellar Door Drive... weird name for a concert place. I wonder if that is the reason that there are still so many tickets available?? :thinking: 50+ in all areas. Even GA pit. This should be sold out!!!! Have fun everybody going!! :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
