stickyfiddle Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Does anyone know if cameras will be allowed? I can't imagine I'll ever get this close to them again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 At the BBC Radio 1 gig in Norwich they allowed handheld ameteur cameras, but were very strict about anything bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARD Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Still hoping! The entry page is still up, so maybe they haven't got around to drawing winners yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kspillers2 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm bummed, I entered this (with a false address of course!:wink:) and not that there's much of a chance to win, but I really want to come to London for this gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhtrownu Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 The competition winners now know who they are. I know somebody who won. Also, someone is already trying to sell a plus one on ebay for £300. Lame (forgive me if that's for charity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura84 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Unfortunately yesterday night I have found this tweet... samc83 Sam Cooper I'm numb and in shock.

Mimixxx Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Anyone who buys them won't get in, it's strictly the person named on the tickets only. You have to show ID. I might contact eBay, I don't want anyone getting ripped off :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samc83 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I was lucky enough to win tickets via the CP comp last night (that was my tweet above). Like I said I was in shock and still am. I was at the LNS gig with my friend and we were talking about entering and how we won't win. The email came through at 11.03PM at night and I thought it was going to be a you have not won tickets but to my surprise I did. I was literally shaking with excitement. Even my friend couldn't believe I won. So all in all I was very lucky and I expect it to be real intimate if BBC had 100 pairs and CP had 15 pairs. That is 230 people then you have industry people and I guess the cameras would take up some space. As for that person selling a ticket on ebay that is disgraceful I mean they are free tickets. The way he can get round it is that the person who buys it off him will be the +1 and the seller also goes in and shows his photo ID. And the description with tickets being over issued I don't think that is the case surely the BBC don't over issue and the CP comp you had to confirm your attendance and if you didn't by Monday the tickets would go to someone else. Plus I really hope they allow non flash photography because you will never ever see them play in an intimate venue like that again. I have been a fan of CP since Parachutes came out and the LNS was the first time I had seen them play so seeing the full band at Dingwalls would be quite something. Wonder what the set would be like?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARD Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Congratulations! It's cool that you appreciate what you've won and how special it is. It's awful that someone is trying to sell their plus one for £500. Shame more Coldplayers didn't win! Have a good time. PS - if you can't find anyone to go with you I will gladly stand in ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaElisabeth Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ah, walked by Dingwalls the other night, such a tiny place! Hope everyone going has an amazing time :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samc83 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I am all excited for Tuesday. I want to be right up front but it will be difficult to judge when to queue given that it is a small venue. This will be my first (proper) Coldplay gig. Chris and Jonny blew me away at Little Noise and I guess this will be immense. I will report back straight away when I get home that evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samc83 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm an extremely lucky duck who is still in shock. I am so thankful I have a ticket (my friend whom I am taking thought I was pulling his leg) but people who sell tickets for profit irritate me so much. Wonder if someone got that ticket off of ebay??

samc83 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I know it will be really surreal seeing them play there. I still can't believe I one because I wouldn't call myself lucky at winning competitions. And this one would have thousands of people apply just for a pair of tickets. Putting everything into perspective I can see how lucky I am :D I have been a fan of CP since the very start but this would be the first time I have seen the full band and what a live experience I will have. I'm really excited, with it being broadcast on Radio and being shown on Red button I assume it will be one special set (different to whats being played on the Mylo Xyloto tour) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since playing Dingwall's is going back to their beginnings, I hope they play some rarely-heard songs. I'm so glad it's being broadcast so we can share it with you!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going on Friday to the O2 also, and that will be fantastic too I know, but I think yours will be so amazing!
