March 17, 201412 yr Usually for JKL they don't let in cameras, but phones are fine. And am I the only one feverishly refreshing their email?
March 17, 201412 yr Is there any info as to whether there will be a live feed of any sort for the 3 gigs this weekend? Alls i've read so far is that they will tape some of it for a TV/DVD program and LFDianne is gonna post some stuff for us? Beyond that, is there hopefully a video link or another twitter account to follow at least?
March 17, 201412 yr Dianne, if you could at least tweet out the setlist for the unlucky among us, we would be eternally grateful :)
March 17, 201412 yr Do you know the venues yet for Fri or Sat? Great that you will be with friends/husband. Us Coldplayers have to have understanding husbands! Unfortunately, mine couldn't make the trip this weekend. Pleast let us now when you get the venue info for Sat! I'll let you know. When I saw Coldplay on American Idol, there were no cameras allowed. But on shows like Live from the Artist's Den or even the mini concerts at Jimmy Kimmel Live, the audience has cameras. I didn't see anything on Ticketmaster, or a disclosure on my ticketing email that no cameras were allowed, at least for Sunday's show. I'm still waiting for the radio station to call me with the details of Saturday's show. I'm beyond excited!!!
March 17, 201412 yr I think I'm going to pretty much wipe out my phone to free up memory if I can't bring my point and shoot. Lol. And I have an external battery. My 5s camera is good but not as good as my Sony cyber shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I for one am not one of those types that can go to a concert only to view it though my camera lens or phone screen.

I use the DSC-HX20v thanks to someone who posted some amazing pics on here during the MX tour. That thing is a beast at concert photography!!!
March 17, 201412 yr Thanks, but don't let it get in the way of your concert experience! I for one am not one of those types that can go to a concert only to view it though my camera lens or phone screen. I do tend to take some photos and a few videos, but I also go to multiple shows. I've got my system down pretty well by now. And I'm not one of those who holds the camera over my head and block everyone else's view, being tall has it's advantages.

I have the earlier version of that, the HX9v. Jason is the one who recommends the cyber shots. He takes amazing photos but usually gets a photo pass so can bring in real equipment.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The 20-30x optical zoom and higher end low light sensor make the difference on the cybershots. I wish I had an RX100, I hear that is the best point and shoot for low light...

I just meant how it seems some ppl can hold a camera/phone for a 90 minute gig and not peak up from their viewfinder the whole time.
March 17, 201412 yr grr....who else is doing the same thing? i'm refreshing my e-mail like a mad woman! :P so far no news of a winner?! anxiety is killing me. hope they announce the 1iota and other contest winners soon!
March 17, 201412 yr During the Viva tour, I used the Cyber Shot and got great photos. Then during MX, something seemed to go wrong at every show I attend so I gave up on it and used my cell phone at last show. I was so disappointed because some shots were blurry (though some were kind of cool in their blurriness.) I may try Cyber Shot again on Sunday!

Although it has trouble with red lighting. Which annoys me. I wish bands would use more blue lights. LOL Here are a few from the last Coldplay show I was at, in Brooklyn, Dec 30, 2012.
March 17, 201412 yr Nice! I was at that show too! Although it has trouble with red lighting. Which annoys me. I wish bands would use more blue lights. LOL Here are a few from the last Coldplay show I was at, in Brooklyn, Dec 30, 2012.
March 17, 201412 yr BTW…That's the last time I saw them live so I'm really excited about seeing them this weekend. And then back to work for me (until they go to NYC, hopefully)
March 17, 201412 yr Sorry if this already has been mentioned before but will this be recorded and uploaded somewhere? Will I be able to watch or listen to it sometime? (And not just by someone in the crowd recording it on their phone) Thanks!

LOL Here are a few from the last Coldplay show I was at, in Brooklyn, Dec 30, 2012. We met at that show... I'm Billy, I was with John, Jared, Zohra and her sister up front! Such a good show!

March 17, 201412 yr Standing up front reminds me of the Lalapalooza and ACL festivals in 2011 when Coldplay was road testing MX. We waited for hours and then, before CP came on, I tripped over someone sitting on the ground and broke my ankle. I didn't go to the medic tent and, I swear, I didn't feel any pain until after the show. Then, just before ACL, I broke another bone on my other foot, so I was at ACL with TWO surgical boots. That night, I was really feeling the pain waiting for them to come out. Near the end of the show, Chris Martin jumped off stage and I leaned forward (we were by the railing) to take a photo and my husband grabbed me by the back of the shirt and pulled me back! He didn't want me to break another bone. I have a photo from that night with the stage behind me and I looked SO HAPPY. That's why I think I like Coldplay. For an old chick who went crazy for the Beatles, Coldplay is more "accessible" and makes me feel happy.
March 17, 201412 yr Ok. Here's the scoop. I just got my tickets from KIIS fm, managed through 1iota. Saturday's show is at Sony Studios, too. So I'm pretty positive Friday's show is, too. They are definitely filming a 2 hour show. There's a dress code "NICE Casual." LOL These shows are 18+, but ticketmaster didn't say anything about an age for Sunday's show. Says parking garage opens at 5:30, check in at 6:00. Wonder if it's worth getting there super early…Hmmm. And that's about all the info I have. Oh and no cameras or cell phones allowed. Also posted on 22 March thread.
March 17, 201412 yr hmm it's been a half day gone already. has anyone been notified by 1iota if he/she is the winner yet? or do they let u know by the end of the night tonight? i'm dying here. :(
March 17, 201412 yr I thought they might all be at Sony so that they don't have to reset the the amps and gear. Thanks for the info! Ok. Here's the scoop.
