Frequently asked questions for the Coldplay show have been posted by the promoters, to help concert go-ers out:

I got my hands on Golden Circle!

Anyone want to meet-up?

hmm and at what time are you getting there? gates open at 5 but Parlotones start at 7..

Yes, I was also wondering what time everyone is going to queue, I have park n Ride tickets, but the buses only start leaving in the afternoon, so I feel like I might get dropped off at the stadium in the morning.

I'm getting there at 4:15

If anyone needs a general standing I have a friend whose I'm selling for 700 R

87 dollars

I'll be by gate BB or DD with a friend

Happy Sukkot, Yahweh bless you.

Coldplay's Johannesburg concert date angers Jewish fans

 

The Johannesburg leg of Coldplay’s South African tour will fall on Yom Kippur and many Jewish fans have already voiced their dissatisfaction, according to the IOL website today.

 

Yom Kippur, which is also known as Day of Atonement, is one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar. Jews traditionally observe a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, with most of the day spent in synagogue services. Irate fans voiced the unhappiness on social networking sites like Twitter. One of the more prominent tweeters, Mandy Wiener, wrote: “The Joburg #Coldplay concert is on the most religious Jewish holiday of the year, Yom Kippur. So no jews can go. Outrageous. @BigConcerts”

 

According to the tour publicist, Penny Stein, the dates were set in accordance with the bands international tour schedule and although it is regrettable that it fell on a religious holiday, there is no question of changing the dates. “Unfortunately it's a case of the band coming from one place and moving to another, and the scheduling was unavoidable. With an artist the size of Coldplay, the dates are set in stone months and months in advance from their touring schedule, and there was nothing that could be done to move them.” she is reported to have said.

All these tweets about Coldplay playing Cemeteries of London, LIT, etc are ridiculous. Where have these people been all summer long. LOL

Hopefully they made sure that all the speakers are in working order today.

Wow, that's a huge venue :o

It seems they're having problems with the sound tonight as well :uhoh:

 

PaulusNel: #Coldplay WTF is wrong with the sound?

 

Nikkkiwe: Is it just me or is the sound at this concert absolutely awful? #coldplay #fnbStadium #dissappointed

 

ross_o: Umm... I'm sitting in the stands and can't hear anything? #Coldplay

 

Caro_Erasmus: Ok...either this entire audience is classified as 'the hearing impaired', or the sound at #Coldplay is inexcusably shit :S

 

Guy_O82: Shit sound at #coldplay concert, thanks #bigconcerts

 

LouisLaurie: At #Coldplay concert. Sound's terrible in the stand area. Speakers up here seems disconnected
