A speedy reply from Debs - looks like we can only hang on and hope we do indeed hear soon: Hello kimchi* I know it's very frustrating but I haven't been handling this and so can only apologize for the late notification. The winners haven't been contacted yet and I know it won't leave much time but it will be done very soon. Debs * real names have been changed to protect the guilty :D

A great article, thanks very much for posting it :)

Like many others I'm reisiting posting here today to avoid getting people excited when they see the threads active, but I've finally emailed Debs (hope I've got the right address - it's from the old Coldplay forum - [email protected]) Hi Debs I'm a member of Coldplaying.com, and writing on behalf of many members who are anxiously awaiting news of the Brixton competition winners. The confirmation emails we all received said that the winners would be notified by email yesterday, which led to much confusion and worry on the thread at Coldplaying.com, receiving more than 2000 hits yesterday. Many of those who have entered live far from London or even outside the UK and are desperate to make travel plans. http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46237&page=16 I know it's an incredibly busy time for you guys right now, but if you could let us know when the winners will be revealed, or if information could be put up at Coldplay.com, we'd be extremely grateful. Best wishes (in these very exciting times:)

Sure is and I vote that first spare ticket that comes up should be yours for alerting us all :)

I propose that if people end up with spares we first make sure that the thread starter gets a ticket, s'only right :)

I'm not going to post here today till there's definite news, as I'm sure it gets people's hopes up to see new posts in this thread. Just to say: 1) Can anyone please post here if there's word from Debs? 2) Can someone please PM me when there's definite news on this thread (more than happy to return the favour if I spot an update first) Best of Coldplayingish one and all :)

It wasn't live last time (Abbey Road) They'll probably edit it down to the best songs (Chris messed up Yellow last time iirc)

I love your positivity :) And an elitist thread only meet up? I propose a meet up of those who didn't get tickets, to pelt them with rotten fruit (and tough cheese!) :laugh3: j/ks

Morning all! I'm sure we're all fresh from another ticketing fiasco at the BBC site haha. Today must surely be our lucky day :)

Tis the season of the badly run Coldplay competition lol.

Yes but everyone will have asked for two tickets! I asked for six! (2x3)

It sounds very much like a track from MBV's Swallow EP from 1991. I have the vinyl here but can't play it and can't remember which one from memory (haven't played it for donkeys!) Interestingly Swallow EP has two or three separate extra songs on the end of those actually named on the sleeve...ring any bells? For anyone who enjoys CSC you might well like this, here's a link to the best track from the EP (at least if you're in the UK). It's called To Here Knows When: http://www.last.fm/music/My+Bloody+Valentine/_/To+Here+Knows+When

Ah well, thanks for today folks, it's been an ironic pleasure, and we got to meet a few former lurkers and new members of the forum :) If anybody does have Debs email please PM me it? Thanks. Oh and if anyone in Holland sees the competition runners in a coffee shop tonight CHUCK EM OUT haha :beatnik: A bientot mes amis, bon chance :)

It's just like listening to My Bloody Valentine from 15 years ago lol.

I'm not going to complain, I'm just going to point it out so that whatever went wrong can be avoided in the future - I'll be doing them a favour (plus they might try a bit harder to push it through;))

Glad you liked it guys! I had fun writing that and it cheered me up a bit :) THanks for posting the reply from Debs guys. Does anyone have an email address for her? I'd like to write and explain that possibly hundreds of us have been sitting here all day, a day completely wasted. This thread alone's had more than three thousand hits today!! (And come on, I know I wasn't responsible for anymore than half of them :D)

Our Coldplay who art in Holland Pectoralz was your name The album’s come Great songs are sung On Viva as they were on Parachutes Give us this day a pair of tickets And forgive us for downloading As we forgive those who leaked it for us And lead us unto Brixton As we led others to that awful Timberlake forum For thine is the guitar, the tabla and the zither on Yes! And on Lost? Come on.

Me too, just got Punked by Seetickets, aargh. Aren't Coldplay in Holland tonight? Perhaps the person who's in charge of all this has got waylaid (cough) in a coffee shop...:beatnik:

Triple post...oh dear me...how embarrassing!

Double post cos the forum's under strain. <edit> damn you hannah for sending a £100 off a holiday voucher email. Damn your eyes!

Welcome welcome Ayre :) Don't worry it sounds like you have a chance if you got the second email. Tough choices duckette. Photoshopping's hard at a time like this...I've had my banana so that option's gone for me. Luckily someone's just lit a bonfire outside my bedroom window so that's another choice - throw a bucket of water over my balcony lol.

Great work knotty, I just had a good singalong with your lyrics, very relevant! I don't know what to do either duckette. What are your options? Mine are: play some PC backgammon play some PS3 have a banana send some long-overdue emails (bad choice as they'll inevitably email me straight back and give me a heart-attack!) The banana's shading it at the moment...

Any more lurkers around care to pop in and say 'hi' and help us pass the time? It'll be around then yeah. That'll be so awesome, quite probably a few acoustic versions and goodies thrown in. If I don't get tickets for either i won't visit here for a few weeks i don't think, it'll be too painful! Remember folks, just because we've not yet won, doesn't mean we've lost (though I think it's fair to say, that we're getting rather cross)...

I have made an offer to the Osaka municipal government for the infamous 'Tower of the Sun'. If we turn up with this they will have to let us backstage... Fingers crossed...let's see what they say! :)

Lol sure feels like it huh?! Thanks Jizo, we need all the good wishes we can get for that one!
