Hope that this is not an inappropriate thread at the fun police dont arrest me.

 

There was loads of talk about having a sea of yellow glo-sticks at Wembley. Im just wondering, was this a success?

How do you measure 'success'? :confused:

 

Surely it was for the people doing it!

And I reckon' people didn't do it to get a mention in one of the blogs or a shout out from the band themselves ... :\

I merely asked if it was a success ie did loads of people have glo-sticks?????

Isn't there a little video of it?

Yes it was a great success. Obviously impossible to distribute one to every person in a 70 000-odd crowd (and lots of people wanted more than one for themselves). Plus, there were so many production lights in the stadium most of the gig it wasn't always possible to see them clearly, but there were loads of them all over the place :)

^That's cool! Thanks for sharing! I wondered how you all got on! :)

every so often, the camera panned the front row and you could see loads of glow bracelets waving in the rows behind :D

i dunno if they done this at others but chirs chucked loads of glow sticks out to the crowed! so the band obviously found out about it!

^^ Really? :stunned:

They did it at other shows as well :)

On Friday, when Joe, Noelia, Ian and me had seats a woman with a Coldplay badge came to us, handed us a package of 50 glow sticks and asked us to pass them around!

 

So they either saw our plans online and bought some as well or some fan brought loads and she helped passing them around :shrug:

 

 

But even Jay-Z mentioned the glow sticks at the end of his set on Saturday so it must've been visible from the stage!

^^ Really? :stunned:

 

Yep during lost :)

 

They did it at other shows as well :)

 

:laugh3: i thought they might have!

I don't even remember haha, but I think the first rows were quite yellow yes !

I hope the band saw it, but if Jay-Z did, I'm sure of it :nice:

I remember when they first came on and they showed the audience all you could see were yellow glow bands :nice: :D

 

When we handed ours out in the queue people were clambering for them. I think because we were in yellow Coldplay shirts and I had on a blazer they thought we worked for Coldplay or something :lol: They kept coming up after we were done and saying "Oh excuse me, I'd like to take part in the glowstick thing too"

 

Wish we'd had more in hindsight. It still worked well though :D

Hope we can see that in the DVD !!

^YES!

I hope so too!!!!!!!

During the second gig, there were several glowsticks' light. I was in the back and i could see them clearly!

Next time I think we need to devise a plan that stops people cracking them at 2pm in the afternoon, by the time it gets dark they've run out of glow!

^LOL....wallies....

I wish something like this would happen at the Coldplay concerts I attend!:D

Haha nice idea Ian :lol:

But they're supposed to shine for 24 hours though!

Most only shine for about 8 hours though!

Cant say i could see any glowsticks in the crowd from where i was sitting, But people around me had them!
