Information:

 

1) Congratulations to all the members who were successful. Some names have been deliberately removed from the winning list because they have made it known that they are almost certainly likely to be picked by another winner as their guest (and vice-versa), saving them the trouble of having to hand back the passes or spend time finding a partner.

 

2) Commiserations to those who were unsuccessful this time - but all is not lost - you may still be able to "find a partner" above willing to select you as their guest. Remember, there are 100 places in total, not just 50!

 

3) SO FAR ALL NAMES ARE IN RED, PLEASE CONFIRM TO ME EITHER VIA PM OR ON THIS THREAD THAT YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE PASSES, THEN YOUR NAME WILL TURN TO GREEN.

 

4) Because of the short notice to this event, you will have until 5pm GMT on Sunday 21st November to confirm your attendance, after this time the tickets will be made available to others.

 

3) Winners will also be invited to the Social Group: Festive boat trip 2010 at (TBC)

 

4) Festive boat trip "find a partner" thread: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73783

 

5) COMPULSORY! Winners will make their own homemade fancy nameplate/tag/sticker with your screenname on it (and one for your guest if they are not from Coldplaying) so everyone can recognise you on the night. There will be lots of people who don't know each other so this is an attempt to break the ice for everyone as a group (plain stickers will be available to those who are unable to make their own (or can't be bothered :P). Real names and other messages are at your discretion :)

 

5) More details on the trip will be circulated via the Coldplay forum and our twitter (@ColdplayUK), so please ensure you are following us to keep up-to-date about the event.

Hello everybody!

 

Firstly, this is NOT a wind up! Please read the following announcementHere's our bit:

 

Deadline for entries is (5pm GMT) on Friday 19th November and winners will have to make own travel and/or accommodation arrangements. This gives you 6 days from knowing you've been selected until the event.

 

Coldplaying will be selecting the winners in a similar fashion to that of the Today Show VIP passes organised in 2008 - which means:

 

To be in with a chance of winning two passes (one pair), all you need to do is send a private message to me here with a short message answering the following questions:

 

1) Full name, age and email address;

2) why you, as a Coldplaying.com Coldplay fan, deserves to be on that boat.

3) How many times have you seen Coldplay live?

 

In order to ensure that all the passes go to genuine Coldplay fans we are only selecting members who have registered and posted on the forums yesterday (18th November) or earlier.

 

Don't forget to include your full name, age and email address otherwise your entry will not be accepted.

 

Winners will be contacted by email and Private Message after the deadline.

 

Good luck!

 

---------------------------------

 

FAQ:

 

It will be an opportunity to win 2 passes, and in some instances it may be preferable/necessary to take a family member /guardian along, therefore only the person who is entering needs to be on Coldplaying. But there's nothing to stop you from choosing a Coldplaying friend as your "guest" as long as they meet the conditions in the announcement above! :)

 

 

Where will we all meet once we get to London? Is there an address or a famous lanmark that us non-Brits can use to find everybody? I just want to make sure I don't get lost and miss the boat!!!

 

Oh, and how do we get our passes?! :D

Don't worry :) We'll figure it all out once we get some more info! :)

Congratulations to everybody! :) You're surely gonna have loads of fun :P Enjoy it well! :)

WOW! Congratulations to lucky lot of you going on the excursion with Miller, Matt & Phil! :laugh3:

 

Admittedly, I didn't read up on this particular contest until a few moments ago because of my OCD, laser-like focus towards the Liverpool/Newcastle auctions. :wideeyed:

 

I swear -- you'll be hard pressed to find a more philanthropic, generous, and fan friendly group of individuals than the guys of Coldplay, not yo mention their respective crew & management. :D

 

I'm not even going to bother saying "be sure to take plenty of pictures & post your stories!" because I'm fairly certain all 100 of you will.

 

I'm green with envy... :rolleyes:

Too much to quote. :uhoh: :bomb:

I'm so tired from work!! :disappointed:

 

I'm so looking forward to meet you all ("again" in many cases)! :dance:

 

 

Chelsea, who would've thought that we manage to meet up again in the end? :hug:

 

 

I haven't had time yet to look through the forum... but should we plan a meet-up on the other night? :awesome:

We're all free on both nights!

Let's invade the Dublin Castle again or something!

ANNA! :heart: It'll be sooo good to see you again :hug: Dublin Castle for sure! :awesome:

I wonder if the band will be in the boat and if we'll have a private gig. :D

Yes!! I'll try my best to not become sick until then. :uhoh:

I wonder which crazy people we'll be meeting this time!! :laugh4:

I Need to ring Bob now and see if it will be alright if I can stay with him :thinking:

 

Can you ask him if I can stay too? :laugh3:

 

Have fun everybody :D

 

If it's friday I will try not to grumble as I'm watching a-ha play their 2nd to last UK show :P

 

Cheers Dave and hope it's the same night as your gig, but it sounds like a great night out you have planned whatever night it is, so enjoy!! :)

 

I can't wait! I wish we could take all the Coldplayers with us! :)

 

And, I'm thankful for Coldplay HQ giving us this most generous opportunity!:D

 

Beautiful sentiments, and if I could just add more thanks to Ian and Jen I would declare that as the best post this forum's ever had!! :sunny:
