To join them in the global movement to end hunger, poverty, and injustice, apply to volunteer at one of their concerts. If your application is accepted, we'll contact you as early as 3 weeks before the concert and as late as one week before to confirm your availability. Volunteers typically arrive 90 minutes before the show and stay about 30 minutes afterwards. Since spaces in concert teams are limited, we can't guarantee you a spot. However, new dates are constantly being added, so check back often for new tour dates.
March 27, 200917 yr sounded to me like you were too busy listening to Welsh Pizza! not when the email arrived, I was busy at an appointment :P
March 29, 200917 yr I already applied for the West Palm Beach concert :lol: I hope they don't turn me down because I live 4 hours away :cry: I mean, I can fly in, which would take me an hour-ish.
March 29, 200917 yr is pete still around? We don't know, but from what he said in January its possible not
March 29, 200917 yr Oookay, I know this sounds extreme, but can people living as far Asia could apply? I don't supposed so, right? I mean, it would be a real hassle for them. I don't know...
March 29, 200917 yr What do volunteers do? Do they get to enjoy the show with complimentary tickets and then get back to the volunteering or not?
March 29, 200917 yr What do volunteers do? Do they get to enjoy the show with complimentary tickets and then get back to the volunteering or not? So you get to the show at least an hour before gates ope, like 5:00ish, and you practice asking people to sign up, meet other volunteers, talk, etc. Then, once gates open you walk around and ask people to sign up for oxfam all the way up until about 9:00, giving you 15 minutes to get settled (or so) before coldplay comes on. You watch the show, then after teh show you guys meet back up at the oxfam booths and get some last minute signups and debrief, then you go home a happy camper!

March 30, 200917 yr Hmmm... I signed me and my amiga up for Dallas & Houston... is there a specific age you have to be.... cuz i don't want the fact that I'm not 18+ stop me from that, it sounds really cool that Coldplay would do that!

I did it when I was 16, so I think as long as your 16+ you are ok.
March 31, 200917 yr I thin you have to be at least 18 to do it w/o a parent?? not sure though since it didn't apply to me.
