Paty, 1o - você sabe que vai ter área VIP né? essa área vai ser a na cara do palco, consequentemente, a mais cara. Porém, tem a vantagem que PROVAVELMENTE deve haver uma fila separada pra VIP (imagino eu), o que diminui bastante o stress já que é BEM menos gente. Show de estádio é diferente de Arena e MUITO DIFERENTE do micro Via Funchal. No Funchal eu fiquei com o cotovelo no palco (tipo literalmente, mesmo) e até pegar no Chris eu peguei. Estádio não rola. o espaço é grande, precisa de palco alto e pra fazer com que a 1a fila enxergue bem, tem barreira e espaço entre o público e o palco. Wembley é gigante. creio que o público foi de 70 mil pessoas e o Morumbi vai ser similar. Sobre segurança às 6am. Eu tô na Inglaterra. Tem assalto, estupro, etc, sim. na mesma proporção que SP e RJ? JAMAIS! Wembley não é no meio da rua, é uma área completamente separada para o estádio. rampas e mais rampas de acesso. estação de metrô direto pra lá. luzes de segurança que ficam acesas toda a noite pois é determinação do governo. e quando informamos aos funcionarios do estadio que planejavamos dormir lá na noite anterior (era o plano inicial) e que nao eramos os unicos, prontamente eles começaram a informar a equipe de segurança noturna, pra garantir que eles estivessem atentos e cuidassem das pessoas. é outra realidade que não dá pra comparar. acho que nesse caso, a melhor opção é falar com pessoas que foram para os shows de U2 e Madonna e perguntar como eles procederam (tipo die hard fans mesmo, entra no forum - com certeza tem - e pergunta). eu vou com minha camisa do Coldplaying de Wembley, pq já tenho e amo e ela é LINDA (o design do Semy é TUDO e ele é um fofo de marca maior), posso pedir a ele pa talvez fazer um design similar mas não colocar o Wembley, somente Coldplaying e Viva la Vida tour ou algo do tipo. enfim. espero que essas info ajudem e qualquer coisa, estamos aí. PS: e espero conhecer vc pessoalmente no niver do Chris!!

I think we should do a post wembley meeting at this concert and all go together agaaaain. :cry: Come to Brazil peopleeeeeeeee :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Paty, pra Wembley a 'combinação' foi bem confusa mas no fim deu tudo certo. Não sei se você sabe, mas teve uma camisa 'yellow' especial, que foi designed por usuários, e foi útil pra facilitar a localização de quem era do coldplaying e quem não era (até porque nem todo mundo sabe a cara de quem tá falando né?) Como eram varias filas, a gente organizou numa thread (que já deve ter na sessão Coldplay Live) em cada dia dos shows pra saber quem ia (a Jen e o Ian atualizavam o 1o post) e qual era a entrada que cada pessoa ia estar (que foi determinada pelo ingresso). No dia a gente foi se encontrando. "guardando" lugar na fila (aqui o pessoal não fica muito feliz com isso, então os seguranças até liberaram pra quem chegou relativamente cedo (até umas 9/10am) pra se juntar a gente na frente da fila (a gente chegou antes das 6am) - mas isso também vai depender da boa vontade da galera que está ATRÁS, ja que se eles reclamarem, quem chegou tarde tem de ir pro fim da fila (o ideal é saber mais ou menos quantas pessoas vão vir, inventar história que tem gente viajando de longe, doente, blablabla que vai se juntar mais tarde. mas deixar o pessoal ciente, SEMPRE). Agora pra estar na cara do palco, isso foi cara, coragem e correria! A gente chegou cedo pra pegar lugar na fila. aguentou firme e forte as 10 horas de fila e fez de tudo pra não deixar ninguém furar. e na hora de entrar: sebo nas canelas!! Apesar de Wembley não deixar você correr, tava todo mundo 'power walking' e quando chegamos fomos ficando em pé e esticando os braços na barreira pra poder 'salvar' mais espaço pra quem tava vindo atrás. No fim, muita gente ficou na 1a fila no show do dia 19/09 em Wembley e mais um monte 2a e 3a. ou seja, todo mundo pertinho (Ah, sem contar a galera que preferiu ficar first row na frente do palco B). ui. que post grande... PS: Cris, o dré foi comigo pra Wembley. A gente não conseguiu ficar junto no show (pq eu corri pro lado do Jonny) mas ele ficou na fila comigo... :)

e eu que ia ficar aqui na inglaterra, to voltando em dezembro. ou seja, dever CÍVICO ir pro show de SP comemorar o niver do Chris né?? OBAAAA, o 6o dessa tour!!! (ou 7o também se der pra ir pro rio... dependendo do $$) :dance::dance::dance::dance:

I'd choose the Sao Paulo one if i had to go only to 1. IT'S CHRIS' BIRTHDAAAAY!!

anyone has any clue how much the tickets will be???

I was about to start posting the thread to everyone I know. and then I realized it was old... :dozey: :bigcry:

Ian, stop making me cry, FFS!!!!

That to me was one of the problems. The queues were made in a way where jumping in was the easiest thing. Not only that, they made hour queue 'squeesh' together 2 hours before gates open. when people got up it just made it really easy for people that were in the back to try and come to the front. Luckily the security guards from our queue were very attentive and noticed all people that were trying to jump in the queue, although when we were all standing, they started moving the people that had gotten there early into stupid ways and we saw LOADS of people that were far back become just second in the queue. I literally had to elbow a girl and tell her to back off because she kept trying to walk ahead of me, Kara, Chelsea, Semy and all other people that hadbeen queuing from the night before or early in the morning. I was just very glad to see that once we got in, all of us who were queuing all day had either got front row or second and third.

whoever knows me here, knows i talk way too much, so obviously, my review is way too long. Sorry!!!!!!! I thought I’d start writing this already, otherwise all the ‘fresh-ness’ of the post-concert would fade (even though I’m only doing 2 days later coz was way too knackered to do it before). Things started on the 18th, when Chelsea and I decided to go to the stadium to check out queues, entrances and even got listen to most of the 18th concert from outside the stadium. We had then decided that we were spending the night and Semy joined us. In the end, with everyone leaving Wembley and the place getting quite deserted we changed our minds and went home - we could all do with a little sleep and an early trip back to the stadium the next day - we knew it was going to be a loooong day. 5am. We are in the tube station waiting to head to Wembley and start our saga. Got to the stadium just before 6am and after I did the rounds on all entrances we found that about 20 people in total had queued overnight. We were the third ‘group’ in our queue, so basically, in the front. Was good to find some cold playing folks around and as the morning went by, more and more yellow shirts kept appearing. After reassurances from staff that I’d manage to get in with my ticket on the ‘wrong’ queue, I decided to risk it and stay at H and J, where I knew most people. More Coldplaying people kept arriving, joining us in our queue, or coming to visit from other queues. Everything felt like it was a big family reunion. That feeling certainly helped the first 5 hours fly by, even though the second 5 went by slooooow. We had already made new friends in the queue, got people interested on the forum, loads wanting the yellow shirt. All done with a lot of Jaffa cakes going around. Almost 2 hours before the gates open things got messy at the queue and everyone was standing. We saw a lot of people ‘steal’ places from the ones who were queuing from early on, and we were decided we’d do everything to possible to avoid that people from the back passed us when the time came to go in. When they finally ‘let the dogs out’ (at least it felt like that, since security didn’t even cut the ribbon and just made us through it, under it, over it), we ran for our lives - and for the closest spot possible to the stage. Loads of security screaming at us “STOP RUNNING”, “SLOW DOWN” - to which we only responded “IT’S POWER WALKING, IT’S POWER WALKING!!!” - When the pitch came to sight, I just heard Kara screaming: “THERE’S STILL SPACE ON FRON ROW”, my heart felt like it was going to come out through my mouth. I saw it, the empty pitch. And the almost empty front row. We “power walked” there, and hugged the front row railing, not to be thankful, but to try and save space to the others coming behind us. We made it. Front Row. Wembley. Last gig of the tour. I couldn’t stop shaking. Or almost crying of happiness. White Lies came on and even though I had never heard any song I was impressed. They were really good. Really good start. Then, Girls Aloud. To me, they are a bad Spice Girls wannabe. Robotic, not really good dancers and simply annoying. I do admit I danced during the famous catchy songs. And have to say that Cheryl Cole - the only one I know who she is - is really pretty. And then Jay-Z. I had already heard the people here talking about how great he was and it was all true!!!! The man is an absolute showman, and engages the crowd in an amazing way. The songs were awesome and his attention to everyone in the crowd, pointing out person by person that was going crazy with him made me want to be his new best friend!!! He noticed us - well, he knows Jizo loves him. And he loves Jizo back - and he gave a shout to “you, the yellow group there”! Ha! We caught Jay’s attention!! Now, the wait for THEM. Minutes before it starts, rain. First lightly, but by the time Chris, Jonny, Will and Guy came to stage it was pouring. It was beautiful. I felt like the rain was washing our souls after so much stress and was welcoming the guys. It was a “Rainy Day”. When Chris first came out in the rain, the first reaction was towards Jonny - “it’s REALLY raining” I saw him saying to him - but that didn’t make anyone get less excited. Crowd or band. At some points it almost seemed like the rain was pouring according to the music. The strongest and fastest Clocks got, the strongest the rain poured. The Gods were listening to the concert. Listening to “Glass of Water” live was just amazing. Listening to the crowd chanting during CoL gave me chills. Fix you on the front row. Brought me memories back from when they played in Brazil. I missed the lantern. I always do. And I always cry… Strawberry swing, I just kept wishing Super Chris would show up. He was there, not wearing a cape, but there. Before hitting Stage B Chris goes to the end of the stage and changes his shirt. Shirtless Chris! What?! Gorgeous back! Stage B I couldn’t see a thing. When the band took their places back on stage while Chris would do THP and Postcards, the Jonnyfest up the front started calling out “Jonny, Jonny”, the stage was dark, but we could see him greening embarrassedly. when the crowd started chanting to VLV between THP and Postcards, Chris laughed and said: “Could you just wait for one more song?”. VLV was amazing, as always. 70k people chanting is a strong sound. And Chris was encouraging us to keep on singing even after the song was done. Only to interrupt us with Lost +. Jay Z joins. He should be with them every concert. It’s just amazing. Again I couldn’t find stage C. I just leaned on the railing and enjoyed the music. Trouble was beautiful. I don’t have words to describe. And Billie Jean seems to ave come to replace “Back for good”. Politik, incredible and strong as always. And Lovers in Japan. OMG. SO MANY BUTTERFLIES. The image of Wembley’s Arch almost invisible because of the butterflies was just perfect. And the neon butterflies. I cried. It was all just too beautiful. And I knew I’d never see anything like that again When they were thanking the crowd, the “Jonny, Jonny” re-started. He heard us again. And so did Chris. And Will. They were laughing. They were genuinely happy and couldn’t hide it. They came back, as always. The Scientist was beautiful, but LiT ii, with the fireworks, with the atmosphere, the people around, with the band’s smile... Just a perfect moment. Now it was all gone. We saw them hugging on the corner of the stage, Phil joining. Just one of those moments you’ll always have in your memory. Outside re-meeting the Coldplayers. A mass of yellow wet shirts. Happy faces. Sad faces. Crying faces. Quickly saying our goodbyes, taking pictures, chatting. The family was together once more. And on Sunday, at the after gig meeting, once again. It was a sad picnic. Everyone was tired. Everyone knew it was all over - at least for this tour - and even though some tried to avoid it, we cried. It was an emotional moment. And chanting to VLV every time someone left the park just made my heart a little bit smaller. I don’t know when I’ll see you guys again, but I do know that whenever there is another concert, there’s no other group I want to be with. This weekend was the end of an Era. The Viva Era. Thank you soooooo much to all of you guys, coz if it wasn’t for the Coldplaying family the concert would have been good, but not nearly as amazing as the whole experience was. PS: Ian, we still hate you for making the website. I’m crying again.

WHAT?! :stunned: If there is something in life that was FAAAAAAAAAAR from perfectly arranged was Wembley. Don't get me wrong, the concert was AMAZING. but the organization pre-concert was crap. from queuing system to communication it was all pretty messy. I didn't see a soul handing out cd's on the 19th, luckily, Chris (Jizo) gave me his, since he already had from previous concerts...

So, who got to see/has pictures of chris shirtless last night? anyone else thought his back was the epitome of yummy-ness?

I'm not gonna get into this whole messy affair simply coz it's none of my business. all i have to say is though, is that if it wasn't for Mark I wouldn't have gotten my ticket and wouldn't have been yesterday at wembley (he texted me to tell me about someone offering a ticket), nor i'd have a coldplaying yellow shirt to wear (but he kindly lent me one of his) and that i 've seen him trying to help so many people with the whole ticket, gates and just the wembley experience overall. So no matter what, I think a person that is nice enough to do all this deserves respect. If you guys wanna argue, PM/MSN/Skype/Facebook/insertthenewcoolestwaytocommunicatehere is there for you to do it, privately. Now just let us continue dealing with our post gig depression by sharing stories pics and vids. I will do it tomorrow coz I'm knackered from yesterday and having to work today. But I just want to say that it was such an amazing experience to meet so many of you guys, see again others, and be able to be with all of you in one of the greatest gigs ever (imho). I'll stop now coz i dont want to repeat the tear-y eyes from earlier today in the park... :cry: tomorrow: photos, vids and review. :nice: EDIT: and Chelsea, thanks for everything. hotel tip, company, being a great and well oriented roomate, etc, etc etc :kiss: PS: Ian, like Chris shouted this afternoon when you were leaving: DAMN YOU for making the website and the board!!!! now we are all sentimental and sad and depressed for saying so many goodbyes - to the band, the tour, the other coldplayers... :bigcry:

Super lucky giiiirls!!! that's awesome!

excuse me, may I... SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OK. got that out of my system. less than 48 hours!!!! :dance::dance:

bora meu povoooo vamo postar aquiiiii!!!

hahaha, London is not that bad to find things. I'm hoping it will end up being at Russel Sq, since it's a smaller place and easier for everyone to find each other.

i think everyone is focusing on the whole queuing issue at the moment, until that's solved i doubt things will get settled here.

where's mark with the news? he disappeared 2 hrs ago!!

where's the new infooooo, mark?

see, it's working :nice:

thankies :nice:

Craig, my gates are B or C, but on the small side part (dunno how u call it) it says G and F. maybe that's what those gates are... (not that it makes sense), but just as an extra info for you. thanks for going through all the trouble though :nice:

Min, can you update from the list on the first page and repost here? i just did it for the 19th...
