mmmm, I'm with you Mel, bring on the pictures! From LA from Pemberton from Toronto :heart:

I knew that word flesh would get you Mel! :wink:

Ask Melanie, she has a theory all fleshed out on that little scenario. :wink:

My guess is that they may have gone to the band and to promoters. You know, all those freebies the radio stations and such give away? Sure is a lot of tickets to go missing though.

Nope, it wasn't Miller. Actually it was two different people each time, each was a male, making two visits to our section about 1/2 hour apart. But it was not Matthew Miller. I've been following Miller's blog on the official site so I was actually keeping an eye out for him too.

ok, I know this is a back to back post for me but I have to bump this back to page 1!

You will have great line of site to the stage, particularly the ramp on Guy's side. I was in the section to your left, 301, row 9 the last show on 8/4 and they were way better views than I thought they were going to be. Originally I was bummed about being in the balcony but honestly you get to see it all, the big projection globes, the big screen. I think you will be surprised how "close" you will feel from that section and row. Also a tip: If you can, get there early, before the openers. We were there early and we saw two groups of fans from our section get ticket upgrades from staffers of Coldplay. One was a group of 4 and one a couple. We watched them get approached by someone with "tags" and then leave their seats and get walked down to the floor where they has second row seats right in front of the stage. It is a totally random happening but hey, you never know, you could get lucky. Enjoy the show!

Glad to cast my vote. Thanks for making this an easy to find sticky.

On second thought, if the trousers were tight we'd probably miss out on that belly shot. Decisions, decisions!!!

I love this thread, so glad it got bumped back up. Here's my contribution:

Here is a link straight to the Oxfam Concert Volunteer Application page. http://www.oxfamamerica.org/whatyoucando/act_now/music/concerts_2008/ I know some of our younger members have volunteered so I don't think 16 would be a problem. Good luck!

Oxfam has mentioned the 4 new dates in their blog so they should be there. http://www.oxfamblogs.org/coldplay/ good luck with the tickets. Keep checking ticket master, they sometimes release more.

Great pics in that flicker album. I love the close up of the butterfly confetti! Would make a cool desktop wallpaper

Done! oh, and sympathies for Lori. I wasn't really happy with what I got for Boston tickets this time around. I was reallyhoping to do better than the first go but no luck. But it will be ok once the date gets here and I'm actually there.

Lovely, all of them. Inspires me to add a couple more, lol!

Hey Boston Sports! It just occured to me that Loge 10 should be great but cause isn't that the general area where they popped up for the busking/acoustic short set? I'll wave to you from waaaaaaaaaay across in my balcony 302, row 8 - 1&2 seats, lol.

Was there trying as soon as 10 am rolled around. Don't know how you guys managed to get good loge seats or floor seats all that kept coming up for me when I put in loge or floor were none available. When I put in best available I got loge a couple of time but sec 7 and 8, up high, way too far away IMHO. Floor NEVER came up no matter what I asked for. After and hour of dicking around and typing those stupid secirty thingys I ended up back in the balcony yet again. but at least closer to the stage in section 302

I think Angie should run the camera for the big screen at ALL future concert dates.

As much as I'd love to meet you for a beer Angie, I know Boston is an expensive city. Sort of depends how much time you can take right? I mean Boston is on a Wednesday and then DC is Friday, Philly Saturday. I'd be temped to do the Boston/DC combo just to have the day inbetween for travel and recovery. (then again I'm ancient and need my beauty sleep, lol)

It had been awhile since I caught up with the big O and all the a Q and A. I about fell off my chair at Angie's question getting picked. Great answer too. ANd yeah, there are definately spies! *pouts because she'd still like to see Jonny in tighter pants, comfortable or not

I wanted to see these brought back up again. Great shots and nice of Mimi to link to them for us.

Well, I'm just happy they have added more shows. They get slammed for not playing long enough sets, they get nagged when they skip certain venues. It all boils down to the fact that they will never please all of the people all of the time. I look at Boston like a regional date. Folks will travel from all over New England, NY and the Maritines in Canada to catch them in Boston. Different venues might have been nice but I don't mind traveling to see them.

LiT ...today...who knows tommorow ;-)

Sure hope you are Right BostonSports. Not whinging but I sure would like to get better seats this time! Man, I can't believe they are coming back to the Garden...pinch me!!
