Band to play outdoor NYC show for TODAY

15 September 2011 12:00 pm

You can turn up and watch the early morning show

 

Good afternoon. On Friday 21 October, Coldplay will be performing a special live concert for NBC's TODAY show in New York's Rockefeller Plaza. The performance starts at 7am EST.

 

If you'd like to go along and watch, viewing is on a first-come, first-served basis outside TODAY's window-on-the-world studio, located at 49th Street and Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. We're told that, for the best viewing spots, you should arrive by 6am.

yeeeehawwwww

I'm leaving NYC on the 8th. :blank:

I am so there.

I hope NBC gives Ian some vip tickets again.

Thank god. Totally going. I haven't done this before--any tips from people who went during the Viva era? How early are you getting there? Thanks. :]]

Oh, and also, I see that there were VIP tickets last time. Any idea if that'll be the case again this time? And if so, how on Earth would I get some?!

:(:(:(

Ooh, may try and make this one as I'm off that day! Especially as I had to miss the ACL stuff! :thumbsup:

Oh man, so going again, VIP passes from Ian/elsewhere or not.

 

You have to get there EARLY, FYI. Last time Coldplay played, I'm pretty sure that was the record audience for the Today Show.

Yeah, I figured. Any idea how early?

I wish I could go!!!!!!

I got there around 1am last time and I think we were about 40 or 50 people back in line.

 

This time, I'm planning on getting there late Thursday evening.. like 9:30, 10.

 

If you plan on getting there that early, bring stuff to do (like a deck of cards or something)... and maybe an inflatable pool raft. Some lady ahead of us in line had one for herself and one for her son so they could nap while they waited, which was an awesome idea... and I'm gonna do the same thing.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG VIP passes again? I hope so!!!!

I am going and debating on whether or not to get a room........Also praying for VIP again. That was one of the best Coldplay experiences ever!!

Chase Levy no longer works for NBC, if we're getting VIP tickets then fingers crossed someone has taken over his address book and workload!

*CROSSING FINGERS*

It's my birthday that day. So we may have to have cake while we wait.

MAJOR CROSSING FINGERS!

 

I hope they don't do VIP passes via stupid radio show contests again...

Jesus. I had VIP passes last time, so I got there at 6AM and all was well. My mom and I are planning to get a hotel, but if there aren't VIP passes via Coldplaying this time...oof :uhoh:

I am SO going to this! I don't have class on Fridays, so this is perfect! I didn't get to go last time, VIP or otherwise, so I'm so excited :D :D :D :dance:

 

also- Chelsea... are we gonna have a real life meeting, then?!? :o

Heh, it sounds bad, but it was a lot of fun. The whole night/morning was the best Coldplay experience I ever had. The only thing I'm worried about this time is how cold it will get in the middle of the night. :\

I am surprised more people aren't excited for this! Who is going? I have bought my tickets to NY and booked a room. I am bringing my 7yr old daughter Violet. We are so excited!!!

For those of you who went last time what made it your best Coldplay experience ever?

 

I am just trying to decide if it would be worth it to fly out to NY from Los Angeles for this.

I loved it. The boys came out in plain clothes and played like 4 or 5 songs. Then they kept playing them a few times over and over to get the sound right. They changed and did a little acoustic set for just us and then the show. It was so great to see them play in the morning in the city with buildings and tour buses and morning bustle all around us. You got to see the anchors interview the band. I liked the feel of seeing the behind the scenes stuff....It was definitely a unique experience. Plus I met a lot of Colpldayers.
