Jenjie Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Police warn Coldplay fans to beware of pickpockets at Ricoh concert POLICE are warning Coldplay fans to be on their guard against pickpockets when the band kick off their tour at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry next week. A sell-out crowd of more than 40,000 are expected to fill the football stadium for the hotly-anticipated concert on Tuesday night. Police say the event could be a magnet for thieves and pickpockets and are urging fans to keep their wallets, mobile phones and car keys safe. Chief Insp Kerry Blakeman, of Coventry Police, said: “For six months ticket holders have been eagerly anticipating the gig and we are working to minimise the potential for crime to ruin anyone’s memories of the evening. “We’d encourage anyone attending the concert to make sure that any purses, wallets or phones are out of sight and not protruding from pockets or bags. “Ideally don’t take a wallet, just loose cash and cards needed on the night.” He added: “We’d also encourage those driving to the event to take a similar security stance with their vehicles, removing all valuable out of sight and ensuring all doors and windows are locked.” For further information visit http://www.registermythings.co.uk Read More http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/2012/05/26/police-warn-coldplay-fans-to-beware-of-pickpockets-at-ricoh-concert-92746-31047624/#ixzz1w4bPtqXA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjie Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Coldplay gig at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light to be broadcast to millions COLDPLAY’S concert at the Stadium of Light is set to be broadcast to millions of people over the internet. The four-piece, one of the world’s biggest bands, will perform at the Sunderland venue next month. Fronted by Chris Martin, husband of Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow, the group is playing a series of UK stadium dates to coincide with new album Mylo Xyloto. Demand for tickets has been huge, with the band performing at only three other venues. Last year, fans braved plunging overnight temperatures to get their hands on them, with ardent followers pitching tents at the home of the Black Cats in a bid to be first in the queue. Only a few tickets are now available for the June 7 show. Now Bauer Radio has now teamed with the group to bring interviews and live performances from the Wearside date of the tour. Coldplay: In Demand will see the media company provide a dedicated two-hour block of Coldplay programming across its 20 stations, which include Metro Radio and TFM, on the night of the gig. An official website will also offer streaming of live content from June 15. Ric Blaxill, music and content director at Bauer Radio, said: “Coldplay are one of the world’s biggest bands, with over 50 million worldwide sales, so we’re excited that our unique and exciting evening of programming will connect Coldplay fans across the whole of the UK, harnessing the power of our portfolios to engage audiences with real ‘appointment to listen’ radio. “We are really proud of our ability to deliver quality live music experiences to listeners, whether through arena events, intimate gigs or broadcasts like this one which follows in the footsteps of similar deals with U2, Rihanna, Lily Allen, Kings of Leon and The Script.” Kevin McCabe, the senior vice president of promotion and publicity at Coldplay’s label EMI Music, said he was excited by the agreement. “Bauer have always been strong supporters of Coldplay throughout the years, so we are delighted to be able to build on that relationship to create something special for all their listeners with a band that are at the top of their game right now,” he said. More than 150,000 people are expected to flood into Sunderland in June to see performances by British rock giants Coldplay, one of music’s all time legends Bruce Springsteen on June 21 and US rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers on June 24. Hotels across the city are booked to capacity and the city’s bars, restaurants, shops and taxi companies could be set to share a £10million windfall from the extra visitors. Each concert is worth approximately £3.5million to Sunderland. In the past, Take That, Oasis, Pink and Kings of Leon have all played spectacular concerts at the Stadium of Light. A MAJOR catering operation is underway to feed tens of thousands of hungry concertgoers at the Stadium of Light for this summer’s concerts. Organisers say catering for such large numbers requires months of strategic planning and research for any venue. They expect to sell up to 30,000 burgers, eight miles of hotdogs and about 200,000 drinks including lager, cider, wine and soft drinks. Gary Hutchinson, commercial director at Sunderland AFC, said: “The summer concerts provide a tremendous challenge for our catering and events teams. “The stadium is traditionally hosts football matches and our catering facilities are geared towards short, sharp bursts of activity before and after a match. “For concerts, however, we are required to change our approach and provide food and drink over a significantly longer period of time – this can be anything up to eight hours. “People are encouraged to move around and take food and drink to their seats and onto the pitch – something that legislation doesn’t allow at football matches. During the early years of summer concerts, the club worked closely with its suppliers and other venues to tap into their knowledge and expertise of hosting concerts elsewhere. “When preparing for our first concerts four years ago, we worked with the team that hosted the Oasis and Take That concerts at Manchester City’s football ground,” said Gary. “We listened to them and understood what worked and what didn’t. Combining this with our local knowledge played a huge part in our success, ensuring the best possible outcome for the Sunderland concerts.” http://www.sunderlandecho.com/lifestyle/coldplay-gig-at-sunderland-s-stadium-of-light-to-be-broadcast-to-millions-1-4588034 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tash Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Metro Strikes To Hit Coldplay and Springsteen Concerts In Sunderland Workers on the Tyne and Wear Metro are to strike on dates when thousands of concert goers will be heading to Sunderland's Stadium of Light to see Coldplay and BVruce Springsteen. The Rail Maritime and Transport union (RMT) announced 24 hour walkouts on June 7 and 21, while cleaners on the transport system will strike for 48 hours from 10.30pm on June 10. The Coldplay concert on June 7 and the Springsteen gig on June 21 will both be hit. The union said the action followed talks with operating company DB Regio which failed to resolve a pay row, while cleaners were facing a wage freeze and are in dispute over allegations of victimisation of a colleague. RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: "RMT cleaners have shown that they will not put up with victimisation and bullying and poverty pay and the DB Regio members have given a resounding no to attacks on pay and conditions. "They have delivered the strongest possible mandate for action in three separate ballots and we know that the action will prove to be rock solid. "In the face of the insulting pay offer of 1.3 percent offer for DB Regio, the attempt to impose poverty pay on the cleaners and the outrageous attack on one of our members we have no option but to take action in defence of standards of living in a climate free from victimisation. "It wasn't transport workers who created this economic crisis and we will not sit back and wait for our members to take the hit in their pockets." link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
