gerben Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hello all! I've started a crowdfunding campaign to get Chris Martin to perform in a small venue in The Netherlands for 500 people (preferably in Amsterdam). It's been too long since Coldplay played here, so for now I'm willing to settle with one quarter :P The idea is that if you want this to happen and you want to attend, you buy a golden ticket, which costs €30, to finance the event. If we sell 100 golden tickets, Chris will be contacted! If he agrees, the other 400 tickets will go on general sale for 35-40 euros. If it we don't meet the target, or Chris rather lays at the beach, it is guaranteed that you get your money back. So please, fellow (Dutch) Coldplayers, make this happen! *removed link - the email from Dave Holmes is a fake, Coldplay HQ have contacted him directly* UPDATE: Tickets are now €55 Article on 3fm.nl: http://m.3fm.nl/mobiel/nieuws/detail-id/362250/Komt-Chris-Martin-solo-naar-Nederland The project being mentioned on the radio: http://picosong.com/jSx4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 If you got a chance to contact the band first and made an agreement, that would be more believable for us to buy the ticket but that's just my opinion. Contacting the band is very difficult especially the times like this when they are currently working on LP7. But I wish you the best of luck on reaching them!

gerben Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Contacting the band is the agent's job. And the agreement is to reach 100 before negotiations start. But as you can see on the site, there is no risk involved for buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerben Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 But why only Chris! And not the whole band? More realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corali Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hmm, maybe. But i don't like the idea of a campaign that only asks for a quarter of the band. As if we don't care about the rest. Plus if you bargain for something it is always good to start big. Maybe you end up with only a quarter, but maybe with more :) But of course Coldplay or Chris Martin in a small venue in the Netherlands would be really cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 More realistic. Right, 'cause this whole plan is realistic to begin with.... Sorry to bust your balls, but at most, i'd say this is unlikely to pan out the way you'd like it to. But I guess i've been wrong before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisna Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ok, this sounds completely crazy and unbelievable, but I couldn't resist, just in case, I just bought 2 tickets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 so this looks promising. the thing is you have to be more aggressive with getting the word out if you want to actually get this done. so i would suggest contacting the coldplay fansites/twitter accounts and try to convince them to back you up for starters. coldplay fans are pretty scattered at the moment with nothing going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerben Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well, I've got not experience in promoting or anything, so I could use every bit of help! If the coldplaying twitter/facebook would post this that would certainly help. But do share and tell friends as much as possible :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penelopeja Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 God this makes me smile. Chris Martin is a cartoon heart. [emoji173]️ So generous of spirit. PS- Book me in please! [emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42JTR Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Wow this sounds really exciting! I will buy one as soon as my stufi (you Dutchies know what it means :p) is transferred! :D Edit: I will spread the word among Dutch Coldplayers via FB page and twitter account from ColdplayFans NL ;) Hope this is gonna work! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Crieff Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Wooow shit's getting slightly real! :awesome: The preferred location is Amsterdam, I guess you can understand why. Haha yes I understand. Well I would love to buy a ticket but I can't because whether I can get to Amsterdam or not depends on the date ...+ I wouldn't be able to get back home after the gig because I can't drive and I'm a poor student so I can't afford it to book a hotel :\ This would be so special though, if I manage to find a way to get back to Belgium I'm definitely in!
