March 2, 201313 yr I have listened to and enjoyed Coldplay for a long while. Their music has helped me through some tough spots, and has made me truly feel like everything is not lost. I have always wanted to see them live, and I was able to see them 2 summers in a row (2011 and 2012). Needless to say, those night are some of the highlights of my life. With that said, how could I or anyone for that matter go about meeting them the next time they play a concert? Does luck just have to be on your side that night? Do you have to wait outside the venue for hours? Get there early? I believe the 2012 concert I attended offered VIP tickets, but no meet and greet. Do they do meet and greets at all? For those that successfully had the chance to meet a member or members of the band was it just pure luck? Well the night after the 2012 concert one of my friends spotted Chris Martin downtown Chicago. They were lucky enough to get a picture with him. According to the friend he was with his daughter and son Apple and Moses and a big security guard. I mean a bump in would be a very unlikely way to meet, but very amazing. I always thought it would be awesome to get Coldplay to play a private concert and according to an extremely long yet informative interview Chris Martin said it would take about 1 million dollars to get them to play a private concert. There is absolutely no way I could possibly afford 1 million dollars, but if we gather a few hundred Coldplay fanatics I am totally in. So if we get an X number of people & each pay a Y amount of money. 10 people = $100,000, 50 people = $20,000, 100 people = $10,000, 200 people = $5,000, 250 people = $4,000, and so on. A 250 person crowd plus a meet and greet would be so worth it as opposed to a 23,000 person concert. I apologize if I am sounding a bit crazy right now haha. If you are seriously considering this idea pm me and we will make it happen somehow eventually. haha Sorry if this sounds completely idiotic.
March 2, 201313 yr $4,000 is still quite a lot, plus I don't think they would really ask 1 million dollars.

They don't do private concerts: April 19, 2011 - submitted by Ruan, Brazil Q. Hey oracle, how are you? I have a simple question, don't know if you are allowed to answer it though. How much it would cost me to have a private Coldplay concert (like Homer did, though I had that idea before)? Thanks The Oracle replies: It's not that I'm not allowed to answer though my answer isn't an amount it costs to have a private concert as they don't do private concerts. There's no hire out fee.

March 3, 201313 yr How about if 1 million people pay £1 each? I'd be up for that! :P That'd be bigger than all the concerts anyway XP, plus you could end up being really far away from the band seeing little dots move across the stage, music would still be amazing though :D
March 5, 201313 yr This is the most bizarre thing I've read on here lately, how you thought it all through, despite it being clearly crazy. Well done sir.

March 5, 201313 yr The most bizarre thing? Well then you haven't seen "Will's sausage thread" yet :uhoh::lol: That one is indeed very very bizarre :shocked2: especially the gif on page 53...
March 6, 201313 yr If they played private concerts to all of us that wanted them, those poor guys would never sleep!
March 6, 201313 yr How do we meet the boys? We can't. Maybe if you're best friends with them... although I still doubt they would play for their best friends, it's kinda weird.
March 7, 201313 yr We can't. Maybe if you're best friends with them... although I still doubt they would play for their best friends, it's kinda weird. I think that if you show up early at a concert or stay late you have a chance :)
March 7, 201313 yr I think that if you show up early at a concert or stay late you have a chance :) :nod: Although it also depends on the venue, if they have another date the next day in the same city (they might stay a little while instead of rushing to the airport or their hotel room for instance)... But in any case, even if you have a chance, it's a very very very slim chance.
