Tash Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Coldplay to perform at Secret Policeman's Ball in NYC 25 January 2012 4:00 pm Band among comedians and musicians appearing at Amnesty International event on 4 March Ā Good afternoon. We're very pleased to report that Coldplay will be performing at Amnesty International's Secret Policeman's Ball at New York's Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, 4 March. Other acts appearing at the gala include Mumford & Sons, Jon Stewart, Russell Brand, Stephen Colbert and Reggie Watts.Ā Since John Cleese and friends brought together a star-studded mix of comedians and rock stars for The Secret Policemanās Ball in 1976, the legendary Amnesty International show has championed the right to free speech for people across the world. The New York event - the first Secret Policeman's Ball to be held outside the UK - will help spread Amnesty Internationalās message to an even bigger audience.Ā āThe Secret Policemanās Ball is a reinforcement of the fundamental rights weāre all entitled to as citizens of the world,ā said Andy Hackman, of Amnesty International. āItās an honour that so many luminaries have agreed to join us and celebrate the right to life, liberty, security and freedom of opinion and expression.āĀ "We are so happy to be involved with the 2012 Secret Policeman's Ball," said Chris Martin. "We have followed and supported Amnesty International - and the amazing work they do around the world in the field of human rights - for years, and it is a pleasure to be asked to contribute to such an inspiring event."Ā Tickets for the event will be sold via Ticketmaster, with an American Express customer pre-sale running from today until 29 January, and the general sale beginning on 30 January.Ā To find out more about The Secret Policemanās Ball visit facebook.com/secretpoliceman and follow the Secret Policeman on Twitter at twitter.com/secretpoliceman.Ā Anchorman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopArtist Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Didn't know this was happening until I got the email from AMEX, I jumped right on it and got 1 cheapish ticket, waaaayyy up there in the 3rd Mezzanine but at least Row A in the 3rd Mezz! This was shortly after 11, so maybe people should keep trying? Should be a great night! :)Ā PS: I am sure it won't be a full Coldplay set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halokiti Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Still have not gotten tickets yet. I have hope, prices are dropping somewhat on stubhub.Ā A friend passed along this offer for $1500 VIP tickets with pre-party, a bargain compared to the $10K or $15K tickets though still way out of my range. Ā -VIP seats are located in the center orchestra, rows 5 to 15, sections 3 to 5. -The pre-party at Radio City begins at 5pm and ends at 6:30pm. Cocktails and hors dāoeuvres will be served. -The concert (Secret Policemanās Ball) begins at 7pm and ends at 10pm. -Dress code is smart casual.
