May 21, 200917 yr 1400?! wow :stunned:. like i say, i'm terribly challenged when it comes to estimating large numbers of things or sizes of spaces, but 1400? it doesn't seem like you could fit that many people in that space! i was thinking 500 at the absolute most, but what do i know? :P maybe if they ever call me back on the phone, or if i get to talk to a real person when i call, i'll ask them how many can fit in the pit :shifty: EDIT: is that how many dots there are in the GA display thingy? i tried counting a row so i could multiply, but there are too many dots :dizzy2:
May 21, 200917 yr Well in the Pit (according to livenation Pick Seat thingy) there seems to be 14 "rows" and each one has 100 "seats" available for purchase. I think I remember reading on Ticketmaster that the covered pavillion section seats up to 7,000 and the lawn seats 18,000. I guess we'll find out exactly what's going on on Saturday.
May 21, 200917 yr Hi everyone! I just bought 2 pit tickets off ebay and I'm very excited. My first coldplay shower ever!!! These might be stupid questions but what time are people with pit tickets getting to the show? Just like everybody else, I want to be as close as possible. Is there a certain time that gates open? Is there just going to be a line of people waiting to get into the pit? I'm imagining a big race of people trying to get as close as possible. Thank you! Should be amazing.
May 22, 200917 yr not sure if this was posted already and i didnt get a chance to look around but does anyone know who is opening for them??
May 22, 200917 yr peter yorn i think, snow patrol would have been heaven but i did get to see richard ashcroft which was the bomb. love you screen name, berry cute
May 22, 200917 yr Good job, Christa! LOL I LOVE IT. Maybe add the forum sweetcheeks smilie, so he will recognize his own image from here/ if he really does come on the board:laugh3:
May 22, 200917 yr It's Pete Yorn and Howling Bells. This lady told me that Pete Yorn is nice to look at and sounds like a male Lucinda Williams. I guess I'll be finding out if that is an apt description.
May 22, 200917 yr It's Pete Yorn and Howling Bells. This lady told me that Pete Yorn is nice to look at and sounds like a male Lucinda Williams. I guess I'll be finding out if that is an apt description. Pete Yorn was very good. I love the guitarist with the black hair. He just stares around and bobs his head while he plays. He looks like he could care less that he's there or he's just really chilled out. Anyway, I'm a guy and certainly am into girls, but Pete Yorn is a good looking guy, yes. Enjoy the show!
May 22, 200917 yr If I twitter for the show Sat. night I'll do it here: http://www.twitter.com/ohbrilliant Technically since it's past midnight 1 more day :dance:

May 22, 200917 yr OMFG TOMORROW :freak: :dance: ok, i'm going to attempt to get someone from the venue on the freaking phone today. as of right now, i'm thinking we won't be allowed to line up till about 4 based on what's happened at other venues, but it would be nice if i could confirm that fact :shifty:. as far as i know, you guys are planning to arrive in hartford around 2:30--i think i'll probably aim to get there around then too, even if we can't line up then. we can find somewhere to hang out like a starbucks or something, maybe. however, it would be awesome if noelia and/or sarah would text me your progress on the road (when you leave LI, if you hit traffic, etc) so i can know when to leave. are you guys taking I-84? if you are, i would totally appreciate a call/text when you get near exit 9 in CT, because that's exactly where i live and it would be the perfect time to leave and follow you there. if i get a person on the phone, i'm going to ask about timing, bathrooms in line, what time they recommend we get there (whatever they say, we'll be there earlier :P) etc etc. i don't think we're going to have time to peruse the merch stands or get food or use the potty once we're allowed in, unfortunately...i'm not drinking any liquids tomorrow, i swear :lol:. anyway, i'd love to hear the christa-mobile plan deliniated once just to make sure i have it straight, but texts from the road would be hugely appreciated! and wave if you go I-84 and pass exit 9 :P
May 22, 200917 yr I TALKED TO SOMEONE ON THE PHONE!! :dance: ok, he said we could start lining up as early as we wanted and it wouldn't be considered tresspassing! 2:30 is perfect then :D. however, he did say that the parking lots don't open until 30 mins before the gates open, so we'll have to find somewhere else to park :\. that might be a bit of a challenge. he didn't have any idea what would be a *good* time to start lining up to get front row, but i think we'll be fine...we're going to be the biggest crazies there :D. and there ARE portapotties/bathroom facilities outside, he said! he seemed hesitant, but he did say "yes, there are." ok, i don't know WHAT the hell to do about parking, but i guess we'll figure it out? :thinking: we might be able to find something...this is what it says about parking on the internetFree parking lots are located immediately on the right in the Tilcon Parking lot. Additional free parking can be found at the Connecticut Expo Center and New Road just behind the Connecticut Expo Center. Premier, VIP and Handicap Parking is located adjacent to the venue - please follow the signs for these lots. maybe something will be open? i also asked him if i could bring my SLR camera into the venue (some other fans at other shows have been getting pictures so good they could ONLY be taken with an SLR), but he was adamant that NO photography was allowed in the venue :rolleyes:. hide your cameras well, girls...i usually put mine in that inner zippy pocket found in most purses, hidden by pads and tampons :P
May 22, 200917 yr Yay thanks for the info Chelsea! :nice: And to add to the excitement, I just got a phone call from Mexico. :P
May 22, 200917 yr great info chelsea, did you get my pm? i got one back from you but it only had what i had said, let me know if you got my number. we will coordinate with you and let you know where we are. i can drop off the girls and go find parking somwhere. i think i will print out what you said cause i cannot remember a thing.
May 22, 200917 yr omg!!!!! hi sarah, i have a million things to do but i am here. dropped the dog of at the Shangra La boarding estate, complete with pool for my spoiled pooch
May 22, 200917 yr christa, my PMs have been going INSANE lately, just ask sarah. i think it's a glitch. i got your number...i'm going to facebook you mine, since that will probably be more reliable than CPing PMs :rolleyes:. i'm really hoping we can find parking...there's my new worry :lol:. are you guys taking 84, or 91 to hartford?
May 22, 200917 yr ok, christa, check your facebook inbox for my number and what i said in the PM that got spoiled. basically, i just want to know if noelia can text me your progress on occasion and which highway you're taking to hartford :D. it takes me approx. an hour to get to hartford, so i'll try to coordinate my leaving when you guys are an hour away (in my approximate neighborhood--you'll pass right by it :D). blergh for parking worries :\ :P
May 22, 200917 yr ok, i know i'm posting too much, but i'm big on planning :P i tried to give you guys (christa) a visual on the parking situation. it's a bit messy :P the places marked "USUAL PARKING" and "MORE PARKING (I THINK)" are the "official" "free" lots for the venue (not really free--we paid out the ass in ticket fees for them to be free). according to what the guy said on the phone, they won't be open when we arrive. however, i'm not 100% convinced they'll be gated off and closed, since a) people tailgate like crazy here, and they tailgate for longer than 30 mins before the doors open (not that they'll start at 2:30, but anyway :P) and b) they're just big dirt lots, and since we don't have to pay, i doubt there will be big gates. however, at my other times at this venue, my mom and i have parked at the business at the corners of weston st. and rev. moody opas (i believe...it's a bit hard to tell what things are from a birds-eye view). usually, these private businesses open their lots to concert goers for a fee, but i highly doubt they'll be ready for people to park there at 2:30 in the afternoon. we'll see. anyway, i don't know if this is helpful, but i just don't want to spend a lot of time driving around and potentially getting lost trying to find somewhere to stow the cars. i want to get to the line ASAP and put the cars somewhere walkable and somewhere we won't get ticketed!
May 22, 200917 yr Chelsea. STOP worrying!:whip: It'll be fine, we'll figure it out. :smiley: (Pm coming to you shortly)
May 22, 200917 yr :lol: you telling me not to worry about parking, and then reading your PM...:wacky:. i'm pretty sure we'll be fine and well with timing :wink:. new thought on parking, from my mom: don't park in the business parking lots too early...they won't be taking money when we arrive, and they won't put a ticket on your car saying you've paid. without a ticket, your car will probably be towed. as much as i love coldplay, i'm not allowing this to happen to me :P
