Like I said before: this is kind of the biggest thing to happen in East Anglia since the Black Plague :lol:. Big acts like this just DON'T come there!

But far more preferable than the Black Plague.

For a very good reason, they can't find it on the GPS :P

If anyone has an extra guest spot, please message me! I'm obviously willing to pay more than face value. Please. I'm so desperate to go. :lol:

 

I know no one probably has, but worth a shot. :P

I'm sorry Jo :bigcry:. It's like no matter what happens in the Coldplay world these days, half of the people I know are thrilled and the other half are completely skunked. Is this what happens when a band gets mega-big? I feel like it wasn't so cutthroat a few years ago.

For those going, this is what the LCR (venue) looks like:

I've actually never gone to a gig there just because good acts usually sell out so fast and everyone there's usually more interested in getting wasted, but...this was a big reason why I decided that if it was possible, I had to go.

 

Don't completely understand how 1500 fit in there though.

That is a very small venue! Fair play to them though. They clearly love playing any venue.

It really is tiny, it's not even just the photos that make it look that way. I've been in there millions of times when there aren't gigs or parties happening, and it's just not a very big space. Pretty much anywhere is good, especially if you're in the front of the "raised floor" section at the top of those stairs. I'm going to be aiming to get right at the barrier, of course, but it's really great to be anywhere in there as long as you're not behind a pole.

Mich and Anna might go very early if there's word that there's a lot of people, but we're all getting to Norwich early Wednesday evening. I'm going to crash immediately to sleep off jetlag and then get up and go to UEA (probably meeting Mich and Anna there, who might go early in case it's a madhouse) at like 10:30 AM to make sure we're all there in time for wristbands at noon. I just really want to have slept, you know :P

 

I don't know whether people are going to queue straight after getting wristbands, but at least some probably will, so I figure right after that we'll just queue for the doors. I'm not even sure where they'll let us do that: the main LCR doors are right where all the tour buses are going to be and where they're going to be loading in gear, so I assume they're not going to want us all sitting there...I wish I'd done at least one other gig there so I knew how this worked better :lol:

 

I have absolutely everything crossed for you winning. I still feel terrible about all of this, about you and everyone else that wanted so badly to go.

Have fun guys, wish I was going :(. I'll be listening intently tho on Radio 1!

The question is: how many times is Chris going to crash into something in one of his attempts to dance/run/basically freak out during the concert? :lol:

I mean, once they put all the gear in this stage, theres going to be even less space for them than at Kroq.

Like this?

Norwich is wet...but Chelsea is here! Yay!

Good luck surviving the storm, isn't 1000mm of rain meant to hit Norwich tonight?

Oh wow, so some of the people who worked so hard for tickets managed to get them in the end? Amazing!!

 

Have a great gig everyone, I'm sure it'll be mind-blowing :sunny:

So cold, so cooold...

 

We're in the queue now, it's 05:38. We've already been offered food by a janitor/something or other and gotten a few strange looks by security "You do know it's tonight? You already have tickets?" :P

 

We have a bit of a surprise for tonight, we'll see if you get to see it somehow :sneaky:

 

Anyway, I'm so happy to be here with four of my best friends (although it's just Josie, Mich and I atm, waiting for a jetlagged Chelsea and a working Laura) :dazzled:

 

Can't believe we got tickets :wacky:

 

We'll try to keep you updated on what's going on (not even sure if we're in the right place to queue, haha) through Mich's twitter since my Blackberry has decided to die.

 

:heart:

is anyone recording the live broadcast? i won't be able to listen to it since i won't be home. :(

 

hope everyone have fun at the show!

Have fun guys! I'll be listening :)
