July 27, 201115 yr I'm not getting a shirt (too late). But I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find other Coldplayers around.

July 27, 201115 yr How about those of us who can, meet up at the Bean in Millenium Park on the 4th? Then we could go from there to find a spot to eat or something. Sounds good. Do you have an address so I can map it? And what time?
July 27, 201115 yr Never mind, I found it! 201 E. Randolph St., Chicago, IL 60602 is the address for Millenium Park. And it's a good thing I looked it up, I thought it was a restaurant when it's actually a sculpture! :facepalm:
July 27, 201115 yr So I was going to go to this and was excited to see fellow coldplayers there at another epic coldplay in the midwest concert... But I just realized that I have surgery that morning and I won't be able to make it :( #fail

But I just realized that I have surgery that morning and I won't be able to make it :( #fail Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery! Still hunting for a ticket, I think I may be hopelessly optimistic though.
July 27, 201115 yr Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery! Still hunting for a ticket, I think I may be hopelessly optimistic though. Yeah I haven't seen any around for less than 165 dollars or so.. Keep your chin up, something will turn up!
July 27, 201115 yr I'm in StL as well! If you want we could try and find tickets and get up there, I'd have no problem at all but so far my luck with tickets has been terrible! I've literally had 2 slip out of my hands! have you checked craigslist in chicago? I was looking, and I can't afford anything much (and now, I probably wouldn't be able to get off work either :( ) but if you're serious about getting up there, you might some luck with that, if you hadn't thought of it yet. i'll just have to see them a few extra times (ie StL, Chitown, KC, etc lol) when they come state side for the tour :laugh3:

It's all people who intended to go but now can't so most of them are going near face value. It's not until next Friday so I think I may just be able to find one on there with a little luck.
July 28, 201115 yr WOOO!!! After several failed leads, I finally have a ticket for Friday! Can't wait to see the best damn band in the land and hopefully meet some Coldplayers! I'm sure I will since they'll probably be the only ones awesome enough to sit at the same stage all day in the hot sun to wait for one band to play ha ha

July 28, 201115 yr Will it be on youtube? Yes! Which is going to be way better than that Cluster f**k that the iTunes streaming turned out to be. I watched the U2 concert streaming on youtube a couple years back and they did a great job.
July 28, 201115 yr We actually don't know if Coldplay will be streamed. Festival streams happen all the time, yet you'd be surprised by how few headliners actually get shown on streams for U.S. festivals. I'd expect an announcement of all webcasted acts within a few days, of course. Can't wait to be in Chicago 6 days from now. :)
July 28, 201115 yr How about those of us who can, meet up at the Bean in Millenium Park on the 4th? Then we could go from there to find a spot to eat or something. The Bean! :D This was last year the day after Lollapalooza... with Nicole and Stefan :dance: (They're Coldplayers as many of you know and they're coming with me again this year) I have some restaurant suggestions if any of you wish :thumbsup: ... I'll see if I can go to the meet-up, I don't know if I can though. Oh btw, Millenium Park is just down the street from Grant Park, the only thing in between the two parks is The Art Institute. You'll have no trouble finding it. In fact, I'm at Millenium Park in my picture on here :laugh3:
July 28, 201115 yr If anyone is going to be here for the three days or if you get here early Friday, definitely consider doing breakfast at the Bongo Room. Corner of Wabash and Roosevelt; you'll probably wait in line, but you most definitely won't regret it.

I'll be there Wednesday through Monday, so thanks for the suggestion, as that's just a few blocks from my hotel. I'm starting to do restaurant research. 3 different sushi bars within 2 blocks of my hotel is very good news. :D
July 28, 201115 yr hello Coldplayers, I buy 2 tix to Lollapalooza friday but I couldn't go :( so I'm selling, face value.... please, send me an e-mail: [email protected]
July 29, 201115 yr I don't know how long it will take me to check in at hotel... hope I can do early check in. Anyway, shall I look for a bunch of blue shirts up front. I hope I can get through crowd to you guys. Is anyone making any banners? OK, here's the weather report http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USIL0225 Looks like you will need a sheet of plastic or tablecloth waterproof kind and a plastic poncho. I think I read that handheld umbrellas are OK.
July 29, 201115 yr Definitely no early check-in (they all learned after the first year). You can dump your bags with concierge, though. I get in line around 3, and there's usually a decent line going already (but not terrible). Some just wait and check-in late, after the last show, so you'd be fine with that too.

Im already hella short :( Oh and im hoping to go to xocos for breakfast, its mexican food and it was delicious when I went in march this year :)
July 29, 201115 yr I decided I'm gonna go. I was debating selling my tickets, but I'll just brave the 8-hour drive. PUMPED! :awesome:

I think I read that handheld umbrellas are OK. Good call on the shirts. As this is my first concert as a legit "Coldplayer" I was wondering the same thing. What is the calling card of the Coldplayer? As far as the weather, it's the midwest so it will change hourly. Case in point, now the ten day forecast says partly cloudy with a high of 83! I would be perfectly ok with that forecast :)
