I contacted Live Nation directly because I really wanted to go to Japan but only if it was General Admission and they sent me this back:

I get giddy whenever Chris talks about hip-hop, my first genre I loved. I have tweets on notification and I got mega excited over that one, especially just having 'Simon Pegg' listed haha

Absolutely will keep you posted! I'm from Melbourne! Where are you from? I'm going to the 16th Paris show, and I'm about... 80% sure I'll be heading to Cardiff as well... considering I'll be there so I might as well! The Brisbane and Melbourne shows in December just weren't quenching the thirst :laugh2:

I'm also coming from Australia! I haven't bought tickets yet, still trying to collaborate on a show of choice with a couple of friends from the US.

I'm getting antsy waiting for this :laugh3: It could be the kicker for me booking a ticket to the UK in July to see them one last time for this tour haha

Thought I'd pop in here to see if anyone was heading to British Summer Time in Hyde Park in July? I'm from Australia and wanted to fly up, and .... just maybe head to Cardiff two days after for Coldplay? :laugh3:

"TWO-enny Sixteen" I died hahaha

Firstly, [uSER=100956]@Stephen[/uSER] ... I can't even tell you how appreciative I am for these forums. I came here in June solely for the vast multimedia section, because I'd just bought tickets to see Coldplay, (which back then was 6 months away still) and I just wanted to familiarise myself with their catalogue, or just their live presence. And to be honest, I'm generally a leech when it comes to media, I'll just download it and go, but with the nature of the band, and the nature of the community in here, I found it difficult to not get involved in the forums. Especially considering that the regular places I frequent in terms of social media aren't that enthused about discussing Coldplay (good or bad) so I like coming here to get that fix of excitement. Thank you for putting the effort in to keep a place like this around!

I saw Chance The Rapper a couple of days ago and his Coloring Book mixtape is feel-good through and through! I also went to a dive bar the other night that exclusively played Arctic Monkeys and The Killers... so while I'm waiting for Kaleidoscope, I've thrown a bunch of these tracks in between my generally Coldplay-littered playlists.

Oof I just lost my entire Sunday reading through this thread and I am hyped :laugh2: I am waiting patiently for this, but I have to say, after seeing it performed a handful of times, I really want a studio version of the acoustic/stripped arrangement of Hymn For The Weekend... specifically the full band version from the Nova Red Room performance (I want new songs MORE... but I wouldn't hate it if it was included... which is highly unlikely haha) (Side note; I must be really new because it took me so long to find this thread)

Here's my mini-campaign-within-a-campaign for Newcomer: I kept my steady hand during Swallowed In The Sea at the C-Stage for my last show of the week in Melbourne for the video that made it into NME and Stereogum articles! :laugh3: Enjoy:

So I guess I won't be going to Japan :( I hope this clears things up for everyone!

I'm so new that I don't even know this community had awards! Thank you for the nom! It was absolutely a joint effort! And can I just say that @Nie , you've made my entry into a really new fandom for me the smoothest of all! I've literally never felt this easily assimilated into a hugely populated messageboard! (And I swear I'm getting back to your PM, life just got in the way [because I went to see Coldplay a bunch of times in one week and my world changed!]) You've got my vote! :D

^ I absolutely agree about ASFOS and HFTW. I love those songs, and love the acoustic versions I've heard of them so far, and I want the Spotify quality for them in my collection. Also where did they perform Yellow Acoustic in 2011? My memory isn't working haha

Coming in here to also check if anyone got one... I did not either :laugh3:

^ Thank you! I was listening on Spotify but I don't generally use it, it's nice to be able to actually add it to the collection!

I don't know why I totally thought I could buy this on iTunes :laugh2: my mind hasn't been working properly today. I saw the tweet earlier and when I was driving home I thought 'oh I'll buy this Spotify session later on iTunes' haha I love Viva in this. I wish we got the entire set though.

I was there from 6:00am and they didn't start handing out the numbers until about 11:30am. You can generally pop in and out of the queue, yes.

I'm here now! The queue system is basically all people that are queued up get a number, so there's no worry about people pushing in. Then when gates open, they bring people in packs of like 50 or something, and people can't run past security.

I have early entry! I got super excited when I got the email today too haha

Thank you so much for this information! I don't know if you saw my earlier posts, but I really tried with the LiveNation one and then failed miserably when you needed a Japanese address :laugh3: But does anyone know yet what kind of tickets they have (VIP/SS/S/etc.) do we know yet if it's all seated, or if there's a general standing area at all? My purchasing a ticket solely rides on if I can get a standing ticket haha

YES! ME! From Melbourne, Australia... provided these tickets are standing? :laugh3: But yes. I am so keen. Where will you be coming from?

Fingers crossed! I'll be watching the video like a hawk for any of the ones in here! :laugh3: I SPECIFICALLY wore that jumper for it obviously... but it was also very very VERY hot that day, so I'm not sure if it was worth it haha

Mine was uploaded super late because I just had the busiest weekend (it's now Sunday night here in Melbourne), so I have virtually zero chance to be chosen but here's how I spent my Saturday... lost in the city gardens :laugh3: ... I had a quick look at the tag and some people had some insanely rad Saturdays haha [MEDIA=instagram]BNB8tV8BWdh[/MEDIA]

I literally can't even exaggerate how difficult I found it :laugh3: 99% of the time I am smooth sailing with tickets but this was a whole other beast haha But I still really want Japan! I might have to end up buying off someone.. I STILL don't know if it's General Standing or completely seated :laugh2:
