We will send your ticket very shortly.

Oh, the email is from two days ago. I guess that's rules out any other Coldplaying members : (

Not winning tickets means I don't have to buy a €900 plane ticket, which is awesome : )

Not so awesome is that I have to get up at 4 AM to watch the livestream, haha!

Well, as far as I know you have to have an iTunes account so yes.

Well sorry then, I hate Apple.

There is a way to make an account without entering credit card details. I can't remember how but I managed to do it months ago - I don't have a credit card either

still waiting for the actual tickets (or email link) -- not sure why they are waiting -- but I'm assuming the email I received is real, so I just booked air and am using hotel points (just staying at the airport on 3/11-3/12). $$$ for airfare but no way I'd miss this, so priceless!

Omg congratulations!!!!

Thanks! I still cannot believe this is real ...

 

Like you said... Once in a lifetime opportunity so well worth any cost. Hopefully I will see you there!

:bigcry: Oh well....we will have to watch on iTunes. Congrats to the winners. :)

You can create an account without a credit card :wink:

You can go here if you have some questions about it.

The contest is rigged:) I've never won a Coldplay contest but I sure wanted to win fix for ITUNES fest. Was ready to book a flight and have a place to stay. At my age (I must be the head of the Senior Citizens Coldplay Fan Club), I can only pray that they take their new album on tour FAST :)

This is simply awesome.

BTW…I"m a native Texan but live in DC so I urged my family to submit entries for the ITUNES tix since those were being given only to TX residents. No one in my family has won as far as I know. Good luck to those lucky enough to attend this one (I assume many on this site have seen Coldplay live and know what an awesome experience it is!)

that option NONE only appears if you're registering a UK account, as far as I know.
