Meanwhile, Coldplay's Auckland show at Mt Smart Stadium on November 10 is nearly sold out, but extra tickets are expected to be released by the end of next week.

 

Chugg Entertainment said Coldplay's international production manager had promised "that there will be more tickets to release for sale, (although) the exact numbers are still to be determined".

 

It urged fans across New Zealand and Australia not to buy tickets from scalpers.

 

"There will be a number of legitimate tickets released in the coming weeks. This ticket release will be announced to the public ahead of time," it said.

 

Selected tickets for their Auckland show are still available through Ticketmaster.

Ahhh, I seriously can't wait for this one, only 4.5 weeks to go.... Found some videos from Sunderland and Manchester that I thought I had lost and if this one is anything like those it will be totally mental!! :D Maybe even worth flying for 30 hours to get to....

 

I even upgraded the size of my iPhone memory so I can record more video and take more photos :)

Now less than two weeks to go until the show, I am packed and ready to fly out, I'm on the road all this week at work and leave next Saturday - just enough time to get over the jet lag!!

 

Ordered new batteries for my xylobands, hopefully they are the right ones and they arrive before I go away....
