yes! thanks a bunch!

Yesterday it finally happened that concert of the year 2012 in Hanover by Coldplay, and I was with my wife there.

Also this time I can just anticipate that I was completely thrilled by the concert of the four British guys and I'm at the next concert in Hannover, what they give back with it. I think I will also take my two daughters to whom you will like for sure too.

Against 14:45 clock we have delivered to our kids friends have been paying attention to it, a big THANK at this point, without them we would not be able to visit the Coldplay concert.

Ca.16.00Uhr we have inserted a snack break at MC Donald south of Hannover, and the anticipation for the concert went, and in my anxiety to get a parking space close to the AWD-Arena.

Laatzen out we made our route to the stadium in Hanover, which had a market and every time the lights were on red and as if that still was not enough to compete against another Wiesbaden tram and at exactly the crossroads where we had to turn absolutely. It's not like when I am familiar in Hanover. ;-(

So be it, so went back to the junction and continue and to misfortune to einzubiegen crossing the street to take us to Coldplay.

As expected, the large parking lots around the AWD-Arena were already full, but we were lucky to get us very close to a grass verge parking place where you could not, well, we were not the one and only. ;-) "I hope they do not drag us down", these were my thoughts to the stadium.

At 17:25 clock we were in the AWD Arena and our first visit was to the toilets. :-)) Ah, that's a great feeling when the bladder is empty.

Slowly we went there already on our burst and looked us in and half an hour to as the stadium filled before the first support band started playing, "CharliXCX" (here's a small link to listen http://charlixcxmusic.com/ ) can say is not bad the girl I liked, but sometimes the bass were so strong that it sounded like some places overridden. Generally, one must say that the Sound 2009 but better was so clear. What the hell's not like as if you had not understood anything. ;-)

CharliXCX played as a half-hour, and in the meantime it was dark outside, they began to rebuild the stage, and there are still tons of people streamed into the arena.

Some time later, the second opening act was her appearance, it was " Marina & the Diamonds 'wow, if only because it was well worth the money. She put ne really great show and brought the crowd to a boil.

Against 21:10 clock Coldplay entered the stage and opened the concert with a great fireworks display and the song "Nurts Like Heaven" what. For Auftagt Followed songs like "Paradise," "Up In Flames", "Violet Hill," Lovers In Japan "and much more. Course there was but" not Viva La Lida "missing, sounds good to sing when 45,000 spectators Oh Ho Ho, ho. :-))

After about two hours the show was already over, so quickly, how time flies when you experience great things. Unfortunately, the lads have played no encore, which I. Too bad but other hand, was singing Chris Martin, the frontman of Clodplay mostly in T-shirts and sweat is the only way of spending and at a temperature of only 7 degrees Another reason is that she was probably the only allowed to play up to 23 clock, I can only shake his head.

Well, it is always so when it is something great in life, great moments are soon over.

When 45,000 spectators take the trip home and some many still travel by car, as we do, you stand ever half past eleven in the night in Hanover jam, great, I've always wanted. ;-))

Conclusion, even at this concert I will remember for a long time back and this is without doubt one of the highlights of this year in my life. :-)

 

[thanks Stefan]

OMG!

Once again it was a great show that Coldplay has delivered last night at the AWD Arena in Hanover.

For me it was just a great experience, this time, right in the 2nd row (Front of Stage), Coldplay live to experience.

My sister and I had made shortly after 1:30 on the way to Hanover. Since the shooting park by the very bodies for the Oktoberfest, the parking was limited, was briefly parked at the Maritim Hotel and the short walk to the stadium walking is involved.

We had a good half hour before the doors there and had plenty of time to go to the south-west entrance and there to have a fast and relaxed intake. Immediately afterwards there was the brilliant LED bracelet, which was part of the show!

I must say, I would have thought that would have been let go, but my sister and I could easily get hold of a great place in the 2 series. So I did not expect.

 

Coldplay has spared no expense and have once again conjured up a great stage. The web was the same as 2 years ago. We were left off the dock, right in front of guitarists. After waiting for a good three hours, we started with the opening acts. Who were there: Charli XCX and Marina and the Diamonds.

 

Shortly after 21 clock we went with a great intro and fireworks going on with the first song. And you're right in the middle was the Coldplay concert experience. And finally came the LED bracelets used. It is a sight when 45,000 lights blink in the stadium.

My wish was fulfilled by 2 years ago and there was again in front of confetti butterflies, birds, hearts, X and M.

It was just great, like the scraps of paper in the air over a flew and trickled down.

 

Very nice again was that they again had a small stage in the back room and there concert played 3 songs.

After 2 hours, the concert was over.

Happily went with a handful of confetti home. After a good half-hour in Hanover in a traffic jam.

 

My conclusion after two Coldplay concerts: I would look at me again and again a concert by Coldplay because I get delivered a great show, but not for the low ticket price. But you get also a lot to offer for the money.

The music is great, the awesome stage show, as well as a magnificent laser and light show, which seeks its equal. And gives a chic final fireworks it also =)

 

[thanks Jules]

Anchorman

Tash, your post appears before Coldplay tweets!

You're the best!

:D

So finally all my pictures are uploaded and it’s time for my review (including the Lebkuchen – and the flag-story!). As it again turned out longer than I had expected I put it into a spoiler. It will probably be the same story as Thalia’s but I think hers will be better than mine and anyway we have different pics ;)

 

 

Originally I had not planned to go to Hannover but after the Cologne concert I simply had to see it all again! The train journey up there and the ride to the stadium was quite uneventful and I arrived at about 1pm at the Arena. So no early-morning qeueing for me this time but Thalia and Volker had faithfully kept a place for me. There were less people there than I had thought for a Saturday and the others had already met up with some other Coldplaying members – Raphaele, Imke and some others whose names I did not catch. We also met the very nice Fiona who brought iron man along. And of course Chris the elephant man was there again.

Here is our flag that Thalia had made:

 

The weather was a bit dramatic – one minute sunny and nice, the next pouring rain and icy cold. We took a walk round the area – which was really huge, we did not make it once round the stadion:

 

The Maschsee, as you can see rather dramatic weather:

 

Well, and then things started to get interesting. Shortly before 3pm some security guys came and told us as we had been there for so long already we would be let in to the next barrier in a few minutes. It was all very disorganized though - some of the guys checked our bags, others didn’t and they did not know whether only the small or also the large gates were to be opened so we spread evenly. Then one of the coldest hours of my life began as we stood under some kind of roof far removed from any sun, there was no chance to sit any more, my friends were at the other gate and I slowly froze miserably.

 

After we were let in to the second barrier – view behind me to the first barrier with others not being allowed to get further (which did not really make sense).

 

Shortly before 4pm the entrance on the far right started to let people in so the others followed till some angry security guy shouted that it was too early and everyone already in had to go back! Which again proved that Coldplay fans are just the nicest in the world as really everybody came back without complaining and all laughed about it. Finally we were let in and though the security insisted on a second bag-search and were really unfriendly nobody stopped us from running. And it was a VERY long run uphill, into the stadium and once round the barriers but we made it to the front row. This time we had decided to stand directly in front of the X-stage, which was the best idea we ever had. And what a wonderful surprise when suddenly our friend YellowGirl turned up who had bought a ticket only that day and did not have time to tell any of us!

Here are some stadium pics:

 

Some fans had a rather more relaxed approach to getting a good place ;)

 

The two sweet 16-year-old boys standing behind us spending their waiting time at their first Coldplay Concert.

 

Nice Oxfam-Helpers

 

Iron-Man was there, too!

 

And here is the good-looking roadie whose name we still don’t know so we christened him “Mr. Handsome”:

He is starting to get really popular and got a lot of shouts and applause and we kept doing waves for him so that in the end he dropped his cool mask and started laughing (though I did not catch that on camera – I was busy with the wave).

 

Well, I had brought some Lebkuchen and as we all know that Will likes them we decided to draw a sign and try to make him notice…

 

The weather stayed dry but it was really chilly so you could hear – not very original - jokes about this being a COLDplay concert all around.

 

Then it was show-Time and Chalie XCX came on. This time the sound was much better (though maybe it was just that we stood in another place) and I found that I actually liked her songs.

 

Marina was great and elegant as always.

 

Miller came around for the Panorama and made some pics for the blog but though he took a picture of us waving the flag as madly as we could it did not make it into the blog.

 

Some Roadie-Activity before Coldplay:

Hoppy

 

And then – 99 problems and Coldplay! It was absolutely fantastic again. I will as always leave comments on the technical performance to others – I simply again loved every song, the Xylobands, the fireworks, the confetti and the balloons. MX/Hurts Like Heaven is an amazing Opener I would not want to miss, Major Minus just rocks, and once again I was stunned about the energy that comes across during this incredible beginning of GPASUYF. The running man animation in Charlie Brown is definitely a favourite of mine. Us Against the World is simply beautiful and the same goes for Warning sign. From our place in front of the X-stage I could not quite hear as much from the crowd as like last time from the side but I think the audience was really good. Chris seemed to be in an extraordinary good mood, laughing and joking a lot. After Yellow he messed up – I think instead of starting with Violet Hill he went into the beginning of GPASUYF, so they had to stop and start all over again. Later on the C-stage he messed up again though I don’t know what exactly went wrong. Maybe he was distracted by joeyhannover’s sunglasses ;)

 

The place in front of the X-stage was simply great. We had a direct view all along the runway so for the first time I could see the light show and the fireworks completely. Not to mention Chris and Jonny on the runway and the whole band up close during the X-stage Set. We also managed to get a balloon! And of course this place earned us some very special moments:

 

During the whole concert we of course behaved like true Coldplayers and gave our best. Every time Chris came close we waved our flag like mad and he noticed it during their X-stage Set. In one song (cannot remember which one) he even pointed at it.

After Up in Flames we got out the Lebkuchen and the sign and shouted out to Will. And he noticed! He screwed up his eyes trying to read it, finally got it and laughed so hard that he messed up the start of Warning sign which made Jonny laugh and mess up, too! Chris noticed that something was going on but did not see what so he just laughed. Unfortunately I could not give the Lebkuchen to Will as I dared not throw them and damage either the instruments or Will’s head with them and it was too far to pass it over (the security guy did not help either). But it was unbelievable!

Here will and Jonny laugh after messing up:

 

For ETIAW Chris brought his own German flag but when he came along the runway the second time he left it behind and Thalia threw ours on stage. He picked it up and wrapped it around him and finished the song with it. Then when going to each corner of the stage to bow to the audience he passed it to Guy who later passed it to Will who put it on the piano. Chris grabbed his own flag again and that’s the one you see in the pictures of their final pose – unfortunately not ours though we were absolutely thrilled about him picking it up in the first place anyway.

 

Here Chris takes our flag, though you cannot really see it. When he picked it up I could not make a picture as I had helped with waving and fdid not have my camera ready fast enough.

 

Then it was all over and after the ritual "Gathering Of The Confetti" we were ushered out of the Arena – again very disorganized as the security hearded us through some bushes and hedges in the dark that could simply NOT have been the intended official path. On the long walk around the stadium to the car park we were approached by lots of people who wanted to touch our balloon (hmm, that sounds a bit dirty) and asked us if we wanted to part with it. I think we could have sold it for quite some money but of course we did not.

We said our good-byes to Raphaele and YellowGirl, put the balloon in the car and fought our way through the absolute traffic-chaos around the Arena and were finally on the way south, reliving the concert and listening to Coldplay the whole drive.

 

In the dark on the way out

 

The balloon got its own seat in the car.

 

In the car we were still glowing in the dark.

 

After a short stop at Thalia’s place Volker dropped me off at Duisburg train station at 3am but as my train had just left I had to wait 2 hours for the next one. As Duisburg station is not exactly the safest place to be in the middle of the night I decided to jump on the last train to Dusseldorf main station instead for the wait. There I narrowly avoided a TV-crew making a documentary about police officers on night shift, told a nice young African gentleman that no matter how often he assured me that he thought me beautiful I was not interested and spent the reminder of the 2 hours among tired Japanese businessmen, occasionally taking a walk outside to watch the rats happily at play and to not fall asleep. I was finally home by 6.30 in the morning and after taking a shower I realized that I had been awake for exactly 24 hours in a row, so I just fell into bed and a deep sleep.

 

Summary: A day among friends and - to quote Chris - “the best f** concert of my life”. I cannot imagine 24 hours invested in a better way. The only damper is that we do not know when and where the next time will be.

 

Some more concert pics – the place inf ornt of the X-stage was great but my camera could not quite cope with the frontal lights apart from the X-stage set:

 

The balloon says “Schöner Coldplay Hannover” and on the right side is Thalia’s arm ;)

 

 

 

 

This is so cool!

AWESOME review!!!!!! thank you!! I LOVE your pics!!

 

After Up in Flames we got out the Lebkuchen and the sign and shouted out to Will. And he noticed!

Unbelievable? indeed!

Then when going to each corner of the stage to bow to the audience he passed it to Guy who later passed it to Will who put it on the piano.

 

Amazing!!!!

 

That should be the best night of your life (or one of the best night!)

 

:D

Even my mom's friend told me I was rarely so happy and I just blasted the whole evening. :)) Yesterday was by far, but really by a wide margin the best night of the year! I was all the time so nervous and excited, I've felt a hundred times the phrases "Oh my God, I'm so excited!" And "Oh God, I'm so excited!" Said.

 

As a true fan of course I also had my nails match. :) For those who can not do anything on the thumb is the design of the CD and see the rest of the cover.

 

 

Be we thought that we leave a little bit earlier, we did not know, how much going on the highway is and how quickly we would find a spot. At half past four we were in Hanover, the time before the concert started (19h), but went by in a flash. I got myself in the time still a Coldplay t-shirt purchased (although I € 35 a bit expensive place - but I can not go to the concert of one of my favorite bands, without a souvenir who can not.), We have the Stadium a little looked at (and were glad that we had fixed seats ... those crowds, madness).

 

Coldplay had found two opening acts, first came Charli XCX, I had never met, but I really good. :) Is unfortunately rare that the initial groups are also good. The only time that this was the case for me was, when Rea - Jacob Brass.

 

The second opening act was Marina & The Diamonds. I had only known a song of those. When Marina started to sing, I was like "Oh my God." I thought that they make very good music, but the first two songs were really horrible. Fortunately, she has but then increased and finally I found them no longer even that bad. But not as good as Charli XCX. I think that comes across Marina but totally arrogant. Totally unsympathetic ..

 

Then it still took forever to Coldplay came on stage. A half to three quarters of an hour we had to wait, there were probably technical problems. But the wait was more than worth it! The concert was the last of the Mylo Xyloto - tour (at least in Europe) and thus there was a particularly good show.

 

At the entrance we got all the bracelets that were blinking on some songs to the rhythm (amazing picture!). The opening was a big hit anyway, the show has just started with fireworks. But I do not have much red, you convinced yourself of it.

 

Of course, we have not brought much to the seats, as everyone stood up anyway. I was so excited, my legs were really soft and I thought I hinged together equal.

While "In My Place", one of my favorite songs was played, Chris Martin ran along this ridge, once in the air and jumped at the precise moment was very much confetti sprayed with a bang. That was so great!

One can not imagine that this is actually in the stadium were 45,000 people! My biggest concert was 5000 people. This is sometimes loosely nine times.

Still at a relatively early Chris has played with a guitar, and then thrown into the air really high and I thought "The he starts but never in my life again?" Apparently he also had not before, but it has simply let fall to the ground. The beautiful guitar. : O But for the moment, that was really awesome. On the screen, which was then to see it again in slow motion, even from above, like the smashed guitar were lying there. I was wondering if they make it at every concert, so many guitars ...: D

And what would a concert without the absolute classic Coldplay: VIVA LA VIDA!

As the concert came to a close and Coldplay from the stage, the entire audience started to sing again Viva la vida. What we did not know was that Coldplay has used this time only to a small stage in the middle to go in public. They stood between then all the viewers and have "sung Us against the world" - Chris Martin's mom. :) First, only he was on stage, and little by little he came to the other members of the band.

After the song, she then walked to the side of the passenger compartment at the right stage, pursued by headlights. I said that it would be so great that they were now at the end, "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" sing for Mylo Xyloto heard - somehow this tour ... and what was the conclusion? :)

All in all I can say, even if it is incomparable to my previous concerts, it was the best so far! :) I'm a happy person back and left again. Would have loved to have watched the whole night. ♥

 

[thanks Sarina]

Thanks for this wonderful pics and your review, Jelena!:)

We missed you!

Thanks for the reviews so far and the ones to come!

 

 

I am not good at this, so I keep myself short:

 

 

Awesome (i.m.o. as usual)!

 

One of the writings on one of the balloons was "FREUDE SCHOENER GOETTERFUNKEN"

 

Maybe that describes it even better!

 

Met many nice people again!

 

You don´t have to believe me, but it´s true: about a minute before the panorama went online my Xyloband started to glow again. A sign! ;-)

thanks Jelena:) It was nice meeting you:)

 

some of my pics

 

You don´t have to believe me, but it´s true: about a minute before the panorama went online my Xyloband started to glow again. A sign! ;-)

:) And I can see you on the Panorama pic! Did you have your beer?

:) And I can see you on the Panorama pic! Did you have your beer?

 

Yes, I´ve had some burgers with Chris and his 3 friends....

 

NO, not what You´re thinking of!

 

Chris (MY MYLOXYLOTOUR) and his swiss friends that was!

 

And afterwards a beer to finish a perfect day!

I didn't check for spelling mistakes, I was too lazy :shame:

 

PART ONE:

 

 

Okay so FINALLY I'm posting my review, sorry for the long delay, working on the pictures/uploading them took a little bit too much time :uhoh:

 

 

 

ANYWAYSSSS time to let you guys know what the heck was going on yesterday! :dance:

Here it goes:

 

The day before the concert Volker, Jelena and I decided to take a German flag to the concert, because Chris apparently likes to wave flags around at the end of ETIAW. So why not try to get him our flag? :awesome:

 

So this was the result:

 

 

And we all thought it looked rather neat :blush:

 

I ordered my ticket for Hannover over the internet and the seller told me to I can meet him in front of the stadium to get it. Well, I ways rather nervous about this situation because there could always go something wrong with this guy so yeah, I was kinda nervous.

 

Anyway, Volker told me he would get me with his car and drive me to Hannover :cheesy: Well that was just way too awesome. So after thanking him for about 439583095 times, it was already saturday morning 7am and he was in front of my house. I got in, we got excited, and drove towards Hannover!

 

 

 

Yay autobahn! :awesome:

 

 

The sky was getting brighter and so was our mood

Apart from the occasional rain I was pretty happy about the weather.:dance:

 

Volker also had to get his ticket from another guy, but it worked out all great.

On the way to the AWD Arena we spotted a lot of these graffitis:

 

 

and had our first Coldplay fangirl moment :wacky:

 

At 9:45 we arrived in Hannover at the AWD Arena:

 

 

EXCITEMENT LVL OVER 9000!!!

 

Getting our stuff out of the car, we headed towards the entrance where already six guys have been sitting around. They were giving me some strange looks because of the big flag waving around my shoulders lol:

 

 

Oh and yeah, no smilies over MY face this time, because actually I don't really care anymore. Now you all know how I look like :charming: Still, all the other guys got their little yellow round faces on them dahaha :awesome:

 

Okay, back to the review: This was the area where we dropped our bags and settled down:

 

 

After an hour we were told that we had to move to the very front of those barriers (the barriers in the foreground) because the other metal gates were used for the ticket checkes later and stuff.

Okay then, heading back to the other gates then..

 

 

Apparently a few of these people with blankets on have come veeeery early to the gates :uhoh: Seemed like they slept there. Oh, and just you know it, it was 12°C outside, so it was bloody FREEZING. Can't imagine sleeping on the stoney ground was very pleasant.

 

And then my ticket seller came, gave me my ticket, wished us a great time and rode off with his bicycle :cheesy: YEAH finally! Now my nervousness went out of the window and I was running around because I was excited and cold and my flag was moving awesomely in the wind.

 

Yeah :awesome:

 

After another 20 minutes some girl arrived at the gates and looked around shyly. I went over, and we greeted each other which ensued like this:

 

Her: „Oh hi, I suppose you're also here because of the concert?“

Me: „Well yeah, kinda obvious isn't it?“

Her: „Yeah. Anyway, my name's Imke!“ :cheesy:

Me: *thinking for a moment* „My name is Thalia!“ *Imke? Like, Imke IMKE from the forum?!*

Imke: *also thinking for a moment* „Thalia?!“

Me: „Yeah?!“

Imke: „THALIA FROM THE FORUM?!“

Me: „THE FORUM. ARE YOU THE MOD“

Imke: „YES OMG“

*insert awkward exciting Coldplaying fangirl moment here*

Imke: „Awesome to finally meet you“ :blush:

Me: „Same here omg“ :blush:

 

Well that was cool wasn't it? I introduced her to Volker as well and now we finally had a tiny cute Coldplaying group of 3 people, yay!

 

 

Gotta love these blankets lol

 

And then Jelena came YEAHH and we went bonkers and then we had to pee :wacky:

 

So we got up and started searching toilets cuz the organisation team of the stadium apparently thought it wasn't necessary offering toilets for the 47ooo fans :dozey:

 

After walking around the whole stadium, taking pictures of this:

 

 

and those

 

 

and passing a lake

 

 

 

 

 

and taking pictures of ducks (because they were cute and fluffy)

 

 

we finally found toilets in a fancy-schmancy hotel, woot!

 

Then we headed back to our barriers I saw Chris from Switzerland approaching! :dance: After greeting and fangirling over him (again) I forced him to take my flag and put his elephant head on :lol:

 

 

You rawk dude :nod::thumbsup: Oh and not to mention his growing fanclub, there were already girls around him and taking pictures with him, too :lol:

 

I went back to our little group of Coldplayers and suddenly a girl from another group of fans scooted over to us and was like „Well uhhh. Hi. Umm. So I uh, heard you were talking about Coldplay the whole time and seemed so joyous and my group was only talking about relationships and parties and shit like that. So uhh, is it alright if I can join you guys?“

 

No need for smiley here haha

 

and I found that totally cute and went like D'AWWW and we totally introduced her to our group. And then we talked with her (her name is Fiona) and she told us that she's usually going on Slipknot and metal concerts so I was rather surprised LOL. And we thought that it would be totally fucking hilarious if there was a mosh pit or a Wall Of Death during a Coldplay concert, mainly during the song „The Scientist“ :laugh3::laugh3:

 

She was also showing us her lucky charm Ironman:

 

 

Man, nothing could go wrong now, having this dude tagging along with us yo :nod:

 

Our feet! :cheesy:

 

 

Okay now rushing forwards a bit, this was me in the rain doing FAILish rockstar postures:

 

 

 

and some pictures of fans:

 

 

 

and suddenly these guys came out of the arena:

 

 

apparently the volunteers activating the xylobands.

 

And then Frank (Freates) arrived! :wacky:

 

 

Alrighty, the Coldplaying group was rapidly growing!

 

Suddenly there was movement all around me and I got up from my sitting position only to get told by a security member that they will let us in shortly.

 

Well holy shite it was only 3pm :freak:

 

Okay, everyone was like totally nervous and pushing, so we got through the first gate and through the second one where we all were standing/sitting at the very first time, and finally we stopped at these huge ass metal doors:

 

 

I'm kinda proud of myself that I took pictures of these moments because every possible moment the doors could have been opened and then my camera would have been totally in my way. Anyways, my duty was to write an epic review so there! :P

 

 

PART TWO:

 

 

 

Alrighty, standing there we asked the security members if we were standing in the right positions and they gave us a puzzled look which gave us the perfect answer :dozey: HOORAY FOR MESSY ENTRANCE PLANNING! :awesome:

So nobody knew where the fuck to stand so our Coldplaying group just scattered to increase the chance that at least one of us can save a spot inside the arena for us (we decided to stand at the end of the X-stage this time because we didn't want these annoying camera guys in our view the whole time).

So, nervousness level grew again, I was spazzing like I always do when I'm nervous and Fiona told me to shut up lol. Chris was next to me and we kinda squished towards the final gates and security men.

 

 

And then I thought fate kicked our pretty butts:

 

People from the left side started running through the barriers and were let in first, and we were like „WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!!“ because our security people didn't move. Like not a single fuck. They were just chilling and watching the other fans run. Shortly before we were about to kill our securitymen some group of other security men shouted „GET BACK TO THE ENTRANCE! You're not allowed to go in yet!!“

So those fans got pushed back into their original positions.

 

Well thanks a lot for the heart attack guys...

 

Now we were absolutely morbidly nervous and just wanted to get through the whole ordeal.

 

Security guys were forming groups:

 

 

and wristbands were brought to us:

 

 

And suddenly Chris, still standing next to me, yelled „THE GATES ARE OPEN“ towards the security man in front of us. For a moment I thought he badassingly trolling, but turning to my left I realised that he was freaking right. People were running AGAIN. Alright now, GET OUTTA HERE!

 

Major pushing ensued, but no, our security man was Mr. Chillax himself and he took his time to watch our tickets from all sides and we were freaking out over him and why the fuck did he take so long and OMG I wanted to freaking set him on fire with my looks of pure RAGE :angry:

 

It was my turn now to stand in front of this git, and he calmly took my ticket and I totally screamed into his face: „THIS IS FOS. THERE, LOOK AT IT. NOW LEMME THRU“ and he was like „Okay OKAY jeez“ and I ran past him, grabbed a wristband and fucking RAN. No, you can't call that running. Let me explain: The guys to our left side who were let in a little bit ealier then me were still running in front me, and I just flew past them :lol: (it was freaking exhausting because you had to run uphill) and was like „OUTTA MY WAY BITCHES, I'M ON A COLDPLAYING MISSION“ and ran inside the stadium, spotted Frank running in front of me, screamed his name, to no avail though because he was kinda having this tunnel vision and only focussing on the front barriers :lol:

 

Alright, second check point, I shoved my ticket into the securityguy's faces and breathed „FRONT *gasp* OF*gasp* STAGE*gasp* OKAY?!“ and they made a cross with a marker on my ticket and I ran further to the MX stage FUCK YEAH!! Only Volker was standing there and already saving our spot! :dance:

 

Oh god we made it :drunk:

 

I collapsed and sank down the metal barriers and just waited for all the other Coldplayers to come. Fortunately they all found their way towards us and we were in heaven :wacky:

 

To my pleasant surprise another Coldplayer (Claudia is her name) from the Colognegig decided to buy a last minute ticket and she also found her way to us! SO AWESOME!! :wacky:

 

I was so happy I even took a picture of the security man in front of us :laugh3:

 

 

I was like „Can I take a picture of you? ..I'm gonna take a picture of you anyway LOL“ and his face was equally to this: :uhoh:

 

 

So here are pictures of me walking aroun the empty arena because these others were saving my spot in my absence

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drinking water with Fiona:

 

 

meeting bananas:

 

 

and lovely other oxfam members:

 

 

Then I got back to my space and decided it was a good time to take a picture of our flag

 

 

And I harrassed the security guy again to take a pic of us :awesome:

 

 

And I took a picture of our arms weee

 

 

and a little Panorama of our sitting positions lol

 

 

Now, the weather started to get really great, the sky was blue, there was no cloud up there, BUT it was really, really cold, still around 13°C :(

 

So we started to sit tightly together to warm us with body warmth, and I couldn't believe my ears when Claudia said: “Jeez, I'm really hot, I better get an ice or something“

 

 

Like WHAT THE FUCK, you made out of ice or what?!

 

 

Talking about COLDplayers :freak:

 

So, I'll skip over all the little details now, because I fear this review is going out of control then :uhoh:

 

Jelena had the brilliant idea of taking „Lebkuchen“ with her and present it to a certain Mr. Champion during the songs that were going to take place rigth in front us. So I made a little paper saying LEBKUCHEN just in case:

 

 

Then this guy started walking around again:

 

 

 

 

 

 

and since we didn't know his name we called him Mr. Handsome or Mr. Important :awesome: Oh and cheered everytime he got close ololol.

 

Now we were waiting for Miller to show up!

He finally did and we hoped that we were visible on the Panorama. Finally Charlie XCX came on, she was okay, then Marina and the Diamonds came on, she was GREAT. And Fiona is a fan of her so we all went crazy together with her because it was fun :D

 

THEN FINALLY she was done as well and we got really hyper and waited some more for Coldplay. Then Jay-Z started playing and I went bonkers and sang along and everything and then it got dark and BTTF played holy FUCK

 

:dead:

 

Now, you all know how a Coldplay concert is like so I'll leave out the normal things. Time for the HIGHLIGHTS AAAAHH OH MY GOD:

 

Okay first of all, we waved our German flag like crazy everytime Chris got near us.

- he saw it quite a few times and we stretched the flag over the whole barrier so that he could read it

- BUCKIN right in front of us lsdkgjslkrgjlsdkhgdklgj :drunk: I hope they will never take IMP off the setlist :wacko:

<- this is not my pic btw, I'm just reposting it for you to get an idea how close we were! :freak:

- Miller was walking towards us was filming us with a big camera. Still there's no video of it on the Coldplay website! :angry: WTF!

 

- when they released the ballons, you all may have noticed that some of them have little LEDs inside. We got lucky and catched two of said ballons (they were already popped) and took out the lights:

 

 

 

They even have switches on them! They were totally bright and we waved them around like crazy! :dance:

 

So now to ONE of the epic moments of the concert:

 

The boys came up towards the end of the X stage right in front us to play POC, Up in flames and warning sign.

Since Will was merely 3 meters away from us we got out the Lebkuchen, the paper and put the bright LED lights behind it for him to see. Directly after UIF there was a tiny little break so we yelled „WILLLLLL!!“ and he totally looked at us :wacko: Now if that wasn't epic enough already, he stared at my paper and really concentrated, and after 2 or 3 seconds he finally understood the German word and burst out laughing for a sec and remained grinning all over his face! :laugh3::lol: And he couldn't stop, that was the best part! :laugh3: Chris was trying to start the song but Will just kept giggling and had problems playing the guitar LOL And he even leaned over to Jonny, whispered something into his ear and Jonny started laughing, too! :laugh3: Fucking HILARIOUS!!

 

Oh and Claudia got it alllll on her camera :charming: still waiting for her vids.

 

And now to the SECOND epic moment of the concert: da flag

 

As I said before, we tried out best to make Chris notice our flag. During UIF he did, he stared at it for a few seconds before playing. Okay, now we had his attention and he wouldn't forget it.

 

ETIAW started playing, and we all tried to remind Chris that „YES, the flag is still here, and DON'T YOU DARE TO FORGET US!!1!“ :lol: And so we waved it around, screamed, waved the LEDs around, jumped, jumped with the flag, I even put it over my face one time! Chris went to us again, pointed STRAIGHT INTO MY FACE (or the flag ;)) and ran off again.:lol:

Then after the first verse Chris went over to Will and got out his own German flag.

 

Well damn, that was a downer lol.

 

Suddenly Jelena and Volker turned around to me (they were at my left/right side) and yelled „THALIA, YOU MUST THROW THE FLAG ON THE STAGE, NOW!“

 

And I can't throw for saving my life. And how the fuck am I supposed to throw a flag when there's wind in the arena and everything! The flag would probably fly backwards or something.

 

OH GOD BUT I HAD TO.

 

So with all my power and hope I crumpled the flagg together, moved my arm behind my head, aimed for the edge of the X stage, and threw that thing with all the force I had left. The flag went through the air like slow motion, I was praying to God, Allah, The Flying Spaghetti Monster for it to just NOT land on the ground but pleaseplaseprettyplease on the stage :bomb::bomb:!!

 

 

and it did.

 

OH MY GOD IT DID. I MADE IT HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTT

 

and then Chris saw it, put his other flag away, run straight towards us, kneeled down, took the flag, looked me for a second, got up, put his hand with the flag in it into the air and waved it around. And after the song was done he even put the flag around Guy's shoulders, who walked around with it a bit, and then gave it to Will, who put it on the piano later on.

 

 

 

The flag they had over their shoulders during their bow was their own unfortunately, but you know, I don't really care LOLOMG
