Me, Dianne, and her husband just got out of the taping and I can't even explain how amazing it was! We got into the rift raft room at 3:30 and we watched the show as it was being filmed (Justin Timberlake was a guest) at about 4:10 they lined us up and we went into the studio. Okay, I kid you not... There were only 65 of us and we were put directly in front of the stage. We ended up being in the front row right in front of Guy, the boys were just 2 feet away, we were so close that We could touch the stage and i almost touched Chris's hand. When we got out there, the boys were already on the stage and Chris was kneeling down and talking to some fans, which was so cool. They played 5 songs: viva, paradise, clocks, fix you, and every teardrop. They also did a really funny promo afterwards for the show with Ellen and Justin Timberlake. No cameras were allowed so I don't have any pictures to share. Although it was nice because I could really give my full attention instead of taking time to take a bunch of pictures.It was such a surreal experience to be that close to them and it awesome to be able to hear every note each of the boys played. I will never forget this experience and I cannot thank Dianne enough for taking me!

Great interview but far too short. Loved the shots from Lollapalooza, best Coldplay performance I've ever been to.

Thanks to the amazing Dianne, I will be going to Ellen to watch Coldplay perform on Monday. I am sooooooo excited!!! My flight leaves around 5:00 PM today, thankful I already have the time off of work :)

Agreed! :dazzled::heart:

:laugh3:

Seriously.. it does feel like Christmas! I am getting impatient but know that it will be very well worth the wait :)

Thanks for posting! :)

Ugh again,.. you gotta be a CA resident to enter. I will be a CA resident in January lol but not yet :(

Dianne, I told you were gonna win! Congratulations, I am so envious and excited for you.

{{EDIT - by Jenjie}} I've merged 2 threads and re-named this one. if we keep it all in here, the forum will be tidier and we can add individual threads as dates are confirmed. thanks {{Close EDIT - by Jenjie}} USA rumours For those that don't know there is currently a contest going on by American Express to win a trip for two to a Coldplay show(all expenses paid) In the official rules, it says that the grand prize is a trip for two to the winner's choice of a Coldplay concert located within the forty-eight (48) contiguous United States taking place between January 1, 2012 and May 31, 2012. It also says in the rules that the winner will be able to select his/her choice of Coldplay concert from a list of concerts determined by Sponsor Based on this, I think that these dates may be when they are doing the first leg of the US tour. It's pure speculation of course but if it is true, tour dates should be announced very soon. Really really hope i'm right about this :dance: [thanks I0wxo2 &lfidianne] ---- Canda Rumours 21 July 2012 - Moncton local news has been reporting that Coldplay (or Bruce Springsteen) are set to play the Magnetic Hill in Moncton, NB, CANADA on July 21, 2012. Anyone else hear this tidbit of news??? I can't find any other source confirming or denying this report. We have already booked our hotels in case the rumour is true! [thanks leahg]

on this : http://kroq.radio.com/2011/10/10/win-tickets-to-kevin-beans-breakfast-with-coldplay-at-the-new-red-bull-sound-space-at-kroq/ KROQ replied in the comments and said that they believe they will start calling the online winners on Monday morning, wow.. talk about waiting until the last minute :0

I went to 3 shows on the Viva tour in 2009 and saw them at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits festival this year. All of these shows were general admission(had pit tickets for all 3 of those Viva shows) and I literally waited all day long to get close to the stage. I have been lucky enough to be in the first or second row at all of those shows, because I waited all day to be that close. Am really hoping that when they do their next US tour, they will have general admission again :)

His voice is awful... it's probably a fake, but we shall see :0 This is one of the songs I am most looking forward to hearing....

That is amazing, I love it! I wish Coldplay were around when I was in high school, I would have done the same thing :D

I really hope true fans win... they deserve to be there.

I feel your pain :cry:

Grrr.... I don't have XM anymore :cry: getting to NYC would be way too expensive though. Awesome though for those Coldplayers who already live there!

Having seen them up close twice last month, I would say that he is miming and not actually playing the keyboard.

:o Wish I lived in Cali :(

My total mileage on my car this morning when I arrived to work was: 42042. Couldn't help but think of Coldplay karma, it's everywhere!

April 29th, 2005 at the Joint(very small venue) inside the Hard Rock Hotel here in Las Vegas, NV. I paid a lot of money for my balcony tickets and at the last minute got upgraded to 2nd row :o This was right before X&Y came out and this gig was filled with a lot of high-rollers so the crowd was not the greatest, although I had the time of my life. Been hooked on seeing them live ever since!

LOVE this, am especially excited to hear the Acoustic Sunrise :D Happy that we are getting it here in Vegas!

I like the last one but their store takes forever to ship stuff! I finally canceled by last t-shirt order after 3+ months of it being on back order.

Wow, I can't keep up with all these appearances :o LOL.

Entered! I love Ellen and have never been to a taping, so this would be amazing :)
