:awesome:

 

I live in Missouri, but will try so damn hard to go to the New York show.

I was hoping Toronto, Canada would be included in this promo tour. There's enough time between New York and LA.. I would really like to catch one of these smaller shows.

Gah, on holiday when they're in London... :(

They go to Tokyo and do two in America, yet they can't come to Australia?

Going for the London show!!

No Aus :(

wat what WHAT

 

 

hold on a second they're coming to Cologne? And tickets go online in TWO DAYS?

 

 

Dafuq is even happening :dead:

i will try my very hardest to get tickets for the London show!

Why no Amsterdam? They did promo shows in Amsterdam before why not again? :cry:

Will it be possible to get tickets for London show if you are not from UK?

i will try my very hardest to get tickets for the London show!

 

Same here although understandably there will be a lot of people disappointed, my F5 button is ready! (well technically not F5 anymore lol)

I sooo badly want to go to the LA one. I hope theyre not that expensive.

It's 3:34 a.m. in my time; couldn't sleep cuz I heard my Twitter alert a while ago and finally got up to see what it was and YAY! Another chance to see Coldplay!!!

I fear that eventim ticket selling website will crash under all the folks trying to get tickets! Like last time, man that was annoying :freak:

no Italy :( i'm starting to think they hate coming to my country :(

^ awwWW :sad::hug:

Sad there is no Australian dates, but I expected that.

I'm just happy there are live shows!!!

I hope so.

OMG!!!!!

I...just...can't bellieve that I may be able to see them live in just a week :dance::dance::dance:

:happy2::happy2::happy2:

do you guys think that this is what chris meant by saying that only a few people are going to see them live?

I mean are these shows going to be similar to those where they filmed for the DVD? :D

Trying to get tickets for cologne ... Can't wait for saturday! hopefully eventim doesn't go down xX

Any idea how much the Cologne tickets will go for? I don't have a proper creditcard so I'll have to buy a prepaid one and I don't want to be short on cash, ya know! Would be a shame to miss out on such an intimate gig because of a technicality like that.

 

Edit: I also wonder what their setlist may look like. A full on back to back performance of Ghost Stories, or more something like the iTunes festival? I hope the first but I wouldn't be disappointed with the latter.

I believe Chris was referring to having people hear the album played in its entirety, not live overall. ;)

Will try for Paris and London!!!! It's a shame that I'll still be in the UK for the Paris one and I will be back to France for the London one! Travel mess! But haha i'd go anywhere for Coldplay...now I have an interesting Skype conversation coming up! :sneaky::lol:

 

(but seriously though my bday is on May 21 going to a 1500 capacity venue on May 28 for Coldplay would be the best damn present for my 20th birthday :awesome: :awesome: )
