July 27, 200917 yr This is my first Coldplay gig. :D Does anyone know when the gates open? I'd like to get a good lawn seat for the show. I'm assuming maybe 6:30?
July 27, 200917 yr ^ I think the box office opens at 12:00 noon, so if you call now you can reserve a ticket. Wow, I sounded like a salesperson there :laugh3:
July 27, 200917 yr I have lawn seats already :) Just wondering when we can get in to get our spot on the lawn.
July 27, 200917 yr Okay I shalt be heading out for my three hour drive to Coldplay now... I promise a review and pictures bright and early tomorrow morning after I go to bed... wish me luck! :D
July 27, 200917 yr tix in hand beer in the cooler we're leaving the house in a few mins to get there right when the parking lot opens and show toga how its done!!! :D will be sure to post pics & vids after. have fun everyone else who is also going! :D:D:D:D:D
July 27, 200917 yr i work at spac, and i saw that those who are working tonight have to report by 5. so i assume the gates will open at about 530 or 6, for those who were asking
July 27, 200917 yr Kicking myself for not thinking I could make another roadtrip to this concert. I have friends in Albany I could stay with too! Boo! :bigcry: So glad Coldplay's back in NY for tonight though. I have always wanted to see a show at SPAC, it seems like a great venue!
July 28, 200917 yr Well its pouring at Jones Beach right now so everyone have a great time! enjoy the show
July 28, 200917 yr GAHH I really should be there right now!! It sucks knowing that they're here in NY, and in Upstate to boot...and I'm not there. :bigcry: But it's like a five hour drive from my house and I really didn't have the money anyways... Still, I hope it was awesome and I can't wait to hear about it! :D
July 28, 200917 yr Onlyindreams387: They're not playing the hardest part at b stage Onlyindreams387: I'm so sad. Hardest part is at main stage and the guards wouldn't let us go to b stage

July 28, 200917 yr Onlyindreams387 Coming back from coldplay. AMAZING! chris was on fire!!! It stunk about b stage though.... Why no B-stage? Rain? :thinking:
July 28, 200917 yr Onlyindreams387: "Not to sound ridiculous....."quoting chris from tonight when he had a popped yellow balloon on his head <3 :lol: And: Amy and i will post our reviews on coldplaying when we get back home tomorrow :) amazing night! <3
July 28, 200917 yr OK! I just got back from the concert!!!!!!!!!! My first EVER COLDPLAY CONCERT! ONE I HAD TO WAIT MORE MONTHS THAN I WANTED TO FOR! Needless to say, I wasn't let down! I really worried the crowd would be bad though. Just from looking at this thread you can see how few "true" coldplay fans are attending this concert. It took a long time for the inside part of the ampitheater to fill up. Elbow played to about 50 people and the lawn crowd. Well by the time Magnificent and Jay-Z and I'm not sure what classical piece it is but it's one I love and am annoyed i don't know the name to, the band came in. I didn't expect the light swingers (what I shall call them), but they had them and they were quite spectacular. Really all one can say about this concert is it's design and aesthetic. The music was great with the minor hiccups to be expected. Chris swore and kept it light and funny admist all the earnestness of the music. I was just taken aback by how perfect this concert was planned. Lovers in Japan was by far the stand out. One many have grown to love in concert. I thought they hit everything out that they could. Chris was in a great mood and kept apologizing for missing the original date. But we wouldn't expect anything less. All in all this was a wonderful experience. I'm sure someone else can give you some more insight, but I'll prefer to look back on this as a collective. It really was quite an amazingly blissful experience. Even though I was one of the only people there who could sing the words to every song, the crowd came through. And behind it was Chris, Jonny, Will and Guy. The did a great job. Viva la Coldplay!

Yay! I'm glad you had an awesome time! :dance: The first Coldplay concert is a very special experience that you'll never forget. And thanks for the great review! I can go to bed now haha. By the way...the classical piece is The Blue Danube by Strauss. And it's ok, I didn't know the name of it before either. :laugh3:
