I ran away

Oh no ! I just checked Fnac, who formerly had a release date of June 30, and now they say July 30 ! No !

Yeah and the important thing is also that he doesn't promote it to the public. Whatever he takes/smokes/does, it's private and he doesn't glorify it the way a lot of other musicians do. So relax everyone :)

When it started we had high hopes

Hey everyone, I just sent my complaint email to Live Nation Germany. Yes, I know I personally got lucky in the end with my spot, but very nearly (and this happened to quite a lot of people, judging from the scenes I saw at least at the entrance I was at...) I could also have been sent back, been potentially forced to throw away my bag and hours of queuing in the rain would have gone to waste; or if I had a seated ticket, which I had been contemplating, I might not even have made it into the stadium in time for Coldplay's performance; and I am still somewhat traumatized from the moment at the gate when after all the queuing I was initially denied entrance. Since I also go to other shows in Germany I really want Live Nation to know that it was messed up and I hope they will "learn from the mistakes". I can only encourage everyone who was affected to also complain - Coldplayers going to future concerts will be grateful for it. If anyone doesn't know what to write I can offer you a glance at my letter (in German), just send me a PM. I am still working on uploading the full show. Unfortunately my internet at home is down at the moment, but I hope that it will be up and up and up on Youtube in a few days :)

Live 2003 - Coldplay at their peak in every way (along with the Twisted Logic tour imho, but of course there is no Live DVD for that) :)

Some things you just have to believe

He took a car downtown where the lost boys meet, he took a car downtown and took what they offered him :joy:

I wouldn't risk it. This doesn't always go by logic. I know your bag is small but it's not a belly/waist purse, it looks like a handbag to me. You never know, if they strictly adhere to the word they will not let it through. They did not generally let this kind of bag through. I would go for something like this that literally is around your waist: https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=g%C3%BCrteltasche

Does anyone have a full video of GPASUYF in Lyon ? I can so far only find the snippet posted by R42. Or was that all they played ?

Yes please someone get this thread up and running again ! :)

I attended Munich. At the last minute they changed it from "tiny bags allowed" to "no bags allowed" - hence the chaos began to unfold. Austria has the same rules as Germany, so I would at most try it with a tiny belly purse (those are officially still allowed i think). But be prepared to throw it away in the worst case if you don't wanna lose time at the gates. Good luck !

One day the sun'll come out

I'm just waiting till the shine wears off

and Miley Cyrus :joy:

They are 30 EUR apiece though. I saw one for Munich as well but that price is really shameless, I didn't buy it.

At least Shakira can sing. Wait until we get the Justin Bieber collaboration for LP8.

Hmm yeah I know what you mean - but these Ticketmaster tickets also say no cameras for example and when I asked the local promoter in Munich they said small compact cameras are allowed. Also, the new Live Nation guidelines from a few days before the show explicitly said small cosmetic bags allowed :-/

It was very annoying, but didn't want to spend so much money for these items. Feels like I have "worked" for them now :)

Yeah, I thought the same. Coldplay is really the only act I look forward to (ok, I think Ellie Goulding also has one or two good songs) Speaking of Helene Fischer, I recently almost fell off my chair when I saw she really had the nerve to call one of the songs on her new album "Viva La Vida" :joy:

About the AHFOD bag, I also have one :) They were indeed part of the VIP packages at the European tour last year. I got mine on ebay. Unfortunately most people only sold the entire VIP package for high prices...I only wanted the lanyard and the bag. Once I won an auction of a VIP package, I took out the lanyard and the bag for myself and immediately re-sold the rest on ebay, so that in the end I paid only a few Euros for each item. But 1.25 GBP is an incredible deal, @oldiefan ! Congrats !

Never give in, never give in

Welcome to the forum @Yarelii. OMG, you have almost the same profile pic as me :joy: Life is for living, we all know

Oh, what a loss for the festival :rolleyes:

Please no, unless it's just the live debut. Not that I'm against them premiering a potential collaboration there, but that would mean that Kaleidoscope EP doesn't come out until that. And without Kaleidoscope EP I see no hope for a setlist change.

Owww, interesting idea. Shakira has apparently also recently released a new album (I'm not following this stuff but I saw an ad for it in Munich yesterday)
