April 3, 200917 yr That's the shirt Oxfam gives you to wear when volunteering for them. So signing up is your best bet:D I really want to volunteer, but the only problem is i'm going to their show in California and i live in Colorado. Would they still let me volunteer?
April 3, 200917 yr I did it when I was 16, so I think as long as your 16+ you are ok. 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. hmmm... well I'm 16, so I'm hoping i can do it!!!!
April 4, 200917 yr ^^Maybe, I volunteered in Chicago and I live in Indianapolis How far is Chicago from Indianapolis? I ask because I had to write in the application that I live 4 hours away (by car) from West Palm Beach. I'm afraid they'll reject if I live too far away, :( even though I would not mind driving for hours or flying (I am planning to go to New Orleans in the summer, and it would be cool if I did around June 6, when Coldplay will be playing)
April 9, 200917 yr i signed up for the washington dc concert. Oxfam is just such a great organization in their efforts to get FEMA more involved with the Gulf
April 9, 200917 yr Woo I signed up for New Jersey! I signed up my boyfriend too =) Hopefully we'll get to go. Perfect timing too; I just finished up a public service announcement for Fair Trade for my communication design class =)
April 9, 200917 yr Cool I really would like to volunteer! You still have to buy a concert ticket though right?
April 19, 200917 yr Oxfam called me friday afternoon asking me to be the birmingham coordinator!!! YESSSSSSSSSS :) :) :)
April 20, 200917 yr Does anybody know if Oxfam is at the Roskilde festival too? I guess not but it would be nice !
April 20, 200917 yr if anyone wants to volunteer at the Birmingham, Alabama show, only 8 people have signed up so far...and they need 20!!! sign up if you can!
April 20, 200917 yr how long does it take them to respond? i've applied to every show that i'm within 4 hours of, but i still haven't heard anything back. and i'd love to help out if possible.
April 20, 200917 yr they send out an email a month before the concert you applied for, so this week they should be sending emails to people who applied for the first few concerts of this next leg of the tour. When I talked to the lady about oxfam today, she said she'd send one out tomorrow for birmingham...so I take it that she's sending emails for west palm, atlanta, va beach and dc sometime this week.
April 20, 200917 yr ^GreenEyes: I got an email today to volunteer at West Palm! :dance: @carapebe: you should get an email SOON
April 20, 200917 yr yayy!! that's awesome!! I got an email for west palm saying I'm on the back up list. !! I probably can't make that show though..don't know!
April 20, 200917 yr I got an e-mail about Atlanta this morning but I very much doubt I'll be able to do it anymore since my rehearsal schedule got changed and now I have rehearsal that day. That day was originally in the middle of three days off for me and since I'm 6 hours from Atlanta I needed that, alas. I signed up for Tampa too and since I'm already going to that one I'm hoping to be picked again.
April 22, 200917 yr 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! So should we have tickets to the show or not? Or can we hang out in the back? At the VA Beach Amphitheatre there's a "lawn section" When Im done volunteering can I enjoy the show from the back? *Edit* I'm volunteering. :D That's why I'm asking all these questions.

You will have a free ticket to the show - you just don't know where it might be...so if you're trying to be up close then your best bet is to buy a ticket anyway:)
April 23, 200917 yr It's a free ticket I can complain or worry about where it will be. Besides, you'll get to hear the soundcheck, and hanging around afterwards
April 28, 200917 yr im on the back up list to dc who got tickets for it Check out the "Nissan Pavillion, DC" thread. There are some regular posters there, who are regular current Coldplayers.
April 28, 200917 yr Im just wondering, I mean, it's definitely cool to get the chance to do this, but, the seats for the volunteers, how good are they??
April 28, 200917 yr It varies. Just do it. enjoy it. get a lot of people to sign up. And you never know... ;)
