I think it was less than that. am gonna go check the local press archives

Its £45 + booking fees. so probably nearer £50. the arena tickets were £46ish after booking fees. can't see the cricket club or Wembley being happy with that many chairs on the pitch, more possibility of the protective stuff ripping and damaging the turf

Manchester is a must. LCCC is well laid out for stalkers ;) so that's 3 Coldplay shows & a football match for Angie then? I've never been to one of those types :embarassed: so I don't really know. more worrying is the news report on the LCCC official site, its subject to licence. Trafford or Manchester Council had better provide the flipping licence now! Coldplay announce Old Trafford concert Lancashire County Cricket Club is delighted to add Coldplay to what is already a packed programme of high profile events taking place at Old Trafford next year. Old Trafford Cricket Ground is definitely the venue of choice for world-class sport and entertainment in 2009. Next summer, people from all over the North of England will converge on Old Trafford to watch Lancashire’s exciting season of domestic cricket, five sold out Take That concerts, England v Australia in two much anticipated Twenty20 Internationals and now Coldplay add their name to the bill. This morning on BBC Radio One, Coldplay's Chris Martin announced three stadium concerts next year, and subject to licence, the band will play Old Trafford on Saturday 12th September, 2009. Coldplay are arguably the most successful English band of the past decade, selling in excess of 40 million albums worldwide and successfully concurring the tough US market where they are currently on tour. The band start their sold out UK Arena tour in Sheffield on 29th November, and will return next September for these three outdoor concerts in Manchester, Glasgow and London. Lancashire’s Commercial Director Geoff Durbin said: “Around 400,000 people will be watching concerts and cricket in 2009 at Old Trafford as we cement our position as one of the most popular multi-purpose outdoor stadia in the country. In what is a tough economic climate and with missing out on a Test match next year, these concerts will provide Lancashire with vital revenue to help us achieve our cricketing and stadium development ambitions”. Tickets for Coldplay, presented by Radio One, stadium tour go on sale THIS Friday 28th November at 9:30am.

you coming over? which you gonna go to?

the tricksy tickets turned up in this morning's post :D

and that doesn't include all the crappy booking fees & admin fees that the nasty sales agents add on. :angry: that's why I don't have tickets for Take That at LCCC in June. :cry: it would be over £100 for the 2 of us to go

that was one huge banner. how on earth did you get it in the arena? I'm guessing it wasn't smuggled in?

soooooooooooooo who's brave enough to go first? :D

that's cool :D we were just concerned that you'd agreed to help us out for this one thing, and that it might get abused.

bumped so I can find it

you never know can't guarantee the British weather at any time. Bolton, July 2005, those who queued early for standing spaces were absolutely drenched. although it did stop raining in time for Coldplay you don't get the fireworks at indoor shows, and if you're dancing you won't get cold Anchorman has updated his post Tickets for all three shows go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 28th November. They will be available online from http://www.gigsandtours.com, http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk and http://www.ticketline.co.uk.

if Take That at LCCC was too expensive, where do we stand on Coldplay?

Can we talk for a sec. about: Coldplay? The band is rereleasing its latest album, "Viva la Vida," just five months after it came out, this time packaged with an EP of songs that weren't ready in time for the release of "Viva" (in addition to three updates of existing tracks). Chris Martin even says on the group's website that the EP tunes are "a little more catchy" than the ones that clocked in on time. So I get to pay twice because they couldn't push the release date back? Or finish on time? Poo.

Qué conciertazo!! Una visita (demasiado) fugaz a Madrid me ha llevado al concierto de COLDPLAY, en su gira VIVA LA VIDA. Fue un espectáculo increíble de casi 2 horas en el Palacio de Deportes de Madrid, donde nos reunimos cerca de 15.000 personas. Yo estaba situado abajo, entre la multitud (el tio que grababa ese video debía estar muy cerca mío!!!! para que os hagais a la idea). Nos pasamos haciendo cola 2 horas al sol. Después otras 2 horas más dentro esperándolos a ellos, incluido el telonero: Albert Hammon, guitarra de The Strokes. Y cuando empezó, estábamos muertos ya, pero había valido la pena la espera. El juego de luces, lasers, el espectáculo, el escenario, el sonido, las payasadas de Chris Martin... Genial. Simplemente genial. El escenario tenía una pasarela hacia el público, donde estuvieron tocando un rato, todos, y después él en solitario al piano (Video). Salieron también a tocar The Scientist entre el público (Video 1) (Video 2), a las gradas!!! Qué tios... Ese biss cuando ya parecía que no volvían, con Yellow (Video). El momento en que le cantábamos el oeoeoeoe para que continuaran, y él siguiéndonos al comenzar Speed of Sound...(Video). Y el cierre, increible... Jamás había visto tantas y tantas mariposas en el cielo... Ese es el video que he elegido para dejaros aquí. Aunque me ha costado elegir!!! Creo que me quedo con el momento The Scientist... Pero hubo muchos momentos increíbles... La apertura con Live in Technicolor & Violet Hill (Video de la apertura), la euforia de Viva la Vida (Video 1) (Video 2 desde primera fila!), la ternura de Fix you (Video con vista de la multitud del palacio de deportes), Clocks (Video), In my place (Video)... y un largo etc... Fue increible. Ahora, lo mejor de todo, la compañía, imprescindible para disfrutar un buen concierto... verdad? http://modt.blogspot.com/2008/09/coldplay-madrid-08.html

Concierto Coldplay en Madrid, apoteósico El pasado domingo, 7 de septiembre, tuvo lugar en el Palacio de los Deportes de Madrid el segundo concierto de la banda Coldplay en España, después de Barcelona que fue el día antes. Llevaba mucho tiempo esperando este concierto, pero por fin llegó el día en el que poder ver a Coldplay en directo. Llegamos al pabellón, una cola de espanto, eso sí, en cuanto abrieron las puertas se avanzaba muy rápido ya que había muchas puertas para entrar. Dentro del recinto había multitud de puestos de comida: pizzas, perritos, hamburguesas, etc., y mi estómago rugía, por lo que tuvimos que parar para coger fuerzas, un perrito para el pecho, botellita de agua y para delante. Cuando nos conseguimos ubicar no estabamos lejos y centraditos, asique genial. Al poco de entrar, Albert Hammond Jr, guitarrista principal de la banda newyorkina de pop-rock independiente, The Strokes, amenizó la espera como telonero. Poco después de finalizar y cuando quedaban 20 minutos para el comienzo del concierto, una muchacha nos entretuvo con algún que otro desmayo, abanico por aquí y por allá, se levantaba y a los 2 minutos… venga otro desmayo, hasta que la sacó de allií su novio. Una melodía hizo prestar atención al público, era El Danubio Azul de Johann Strauss (hijo), después el instrumental ‘Live in Technicolor’ levantó el telón, con el mítico cuadro de Frida Khalo al fondo, obra que titula el primer single de la banda, ‘Viva la Vida’. Posteriormente ‘Violet Hill’ dio paso a ‘Clocks’. Los pelos saliéndose de su órbita, a más de uno la lagrimilla se le estaba a punto de desbordar. Cada canción era un clamor. Los grandes clásicos se mezclaban con los nuevos temas, muchos de los cuales se convertirán también en grandes clásicos como ‘Lovers in Japan’, con el pabellón inundado de mariposas de papel de colores, o ‘Lost’. Estuvieron representados casi todos los clásicos, ‘Yellow’, ‘Politik’, ‘In my place’, ‘Fix you’, ‘The Hardest Part’, ‘Talk’, etc. Uno de los momentos más grandes de la noche fue cuando se apagaron absolutamente todas las luces y de repente aparecieron los cuatro integrantes de la banda entre el público con sus instrumentos y tocaron la mítica ‘The Scientist’. Todo ello amenizado con pequeños comentarios graciosos de Chris Martin en español. En definitiva, ahora sí que podría decir que un fin de semana en Madrid 100€, entrada en la reventa 80€, ver a Coldplay en directo no tiene precio. Fue tal la emoción que sentí, que pocas veces he experimentado esa sensación, puede parecer exajerado, pero no se sabe si no se vive, así que… Viva la Vida! http://davidsalgado.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/concierto-coldplay-en-madrid-sin-palabras/ ---- (translated by http://www.stars21.com) Coldplay in Madrid, tremendous. That last Sunday 7 September, he took place in Madrid's Sport Palace the second concert of the Coldplay band in Spain, after Barcelona who was the day before. I took long time waiting for this concert, but per end he arrived the day in which to be able to see to Coldplay in straight. We arrive to the pavilion, a fright glue, that yes, in all the doors opened advanced one very fast because there were a lot of doors to enter. There was food place crowd in the enclosure: Pizzas; doggies; hamburgers; and so on, and my stomach roared, by what we had to stop to catch forces, a doggie stops water chest, botellita and stops in front. When us we manage to place not estabamos far and centraditos, inspired asique. The not much of entering, Albert Hammond Jr, main guitarist from the independent pop rock, newyorkina, The Strokes, band wait made enjoyable as telonero. After finishing and when 20 minutes remained he stops the beginning of the concert, a girl us entertained with some that other one faint, fan round here and to that place, raised and at the 2 minutes... I come other I falter, until her got of allií his boyfriend out little. A tune had attention paid to the public, The Danube was Blue of Johann Strauss (son), the instrumental 'Live in Technicolour' raised the curtain later, with Frida Khalo mythical picture at the back, work that entitles the first single of the band, 'Lives Life.' 'Violet Hill' took step to 'Clocks' subsequently. The hairs running off of his orbit, to more than one the lagrimilla he was about overflowing. Each song was a clamour. The big classics mixed with the new topics, many I eat 'Japan in,' with the flooded pavilion with butterflies 'Lovers' paper of colors, or 'Lost.' All the classics were represented almost; 'Yellow;' 'Politik;' 'my In' 'Fix you,' 'The Hardest Part,' 'Talk' 'pleases,' and so on. One of the biggest moments of the night went when one switched all the lights absolutely off and they appeared the four component of the band between the public with his instruments and they touched the mythical 'The Scientist' suddenly. Made enjoyable with funny small comments of Chris Martin in Spanish everything. In short, him who could say who a weekend in Madrid 100? entry, in the resale 80?, seeing to Coldplay in straight does not have price now. The emotion that I felt was such, that I have experienced that feeling, a few times, he can seem exajerado, but one does not know if he does not live one so that Live Life! http://davidsalgado.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/concierto-coldplay-en-madrid-sin-palabras/

gratz :D £10 is better than a kick in the teeth

interesting. some of those bits were from the previous season though

only if we win the rounds of online voting for the top 16.

must have got the thread number wrong. will have a look for the correct thread.

and thats why Adelaide was skipped as far as I could make out from reading the articles. the dates they could have done adelaide as a stop-over didn't fit with the venues availability.

:P
