Anybody looking for 1 standing ticket for this gig? :( I'm afraid I can't make it to the concert, since I need that week to finish my master thesis. It's my only chance to finish my master degree in 2011, so I have to cancel the concert. Maybe anybody here needs an extra ticket? I will sell it for the normal price. PM if interested!

Yeah I know. It's more about the journey back and after the concert that they worry about. I'm 22 years old, I live in the north of Holland (province Friesland). I've been to Cologne before and experienced it as a safe and nice city, so I think it will be allright. But still ;)

I want to go so badly, and have got a ticket for myself! I'm from Holland however, and my parents think it's not safe for me to go alone to the concert, because I am in a strange city in a foreign country all by myself. I myself think it will be fine, I will travel by S-bahn to my hostel, and leave the next morning again. Are any of you going by yourself to the concert? Maybe it would help if I could meet some people from here to convince them that it will be fine! :)

Ik heb ook geen telefoon waarmee dat kan :p Maar springen zullen we zeker! :wink3:

I've entered the competition by 3FM for tickets for this gig.. I want to go so badly!!! *fingers crossed*

I love it, funny as always! :laugh3:

"Give me love and give me pain..Give me Rotterdam in the rainnnn!!!" Can't wait!!!!! :) :) :)

*nervous* Just bought tickets for Cologne in case my boss decides I can't have a day off work. Which would be obvious, since it's the busiest day of the year, one saturyday before Christmas. Everybody will want to buy gifts (I work in a bookshop) I HAVE to be here!

Yaaay, I'm gonna be there too!! Hopefully I can meet some of you, because I will me going alone!

Yay!! :) Great news! Although the timing's not perfect.. I work in a bookshop and this Saturday is THE busiest day of the year, one week before Christmas. So I hope my boss will let me go :( Hopefully another Rotterdam gig the day before, when this first date sells fast!

:cool:

I saw them at the Lowlands Festival in Holland. What an amazing show. We didn't expect so many 'old' songs. The audience was great, the band was great, Alex was in such a good mood, and "Miles fucking Kane" was so good!! (L)

I saw them yesterday in Amsterdam. Every time I get blown away, what an amazing band, such enthousiasm, and great music!!! The audience was f*.... dull though, such a shame. "We Used To Wait" was a big hit on the dutch radio, so there were probably a lot of people who didn't know them very well. I wasn't surprised that it took the band 4 years to return to Holland, with such a boring audience. The band itself was great, no doubt about it! Win asked the audience on the seats to please stand up, so they would receive their energy, but most people just sat down. Afterwards the band already left the stage, but Win gave a setlist to somebody and after that he threw this into the audience... Yay!! :D:D The setlist was almost torn apart because 2 other people and me were holding it at the same time, but eventually the others let go. I'm so happy! :cool:

The Coldplaystraat is very cool by the way, the streets surrounding that street are Pink Floydstraat, Policestraat, Deep Purplestraat, Rollingstonesstraat, Beatlesstraat, Queenstraat, Kinksstraat... Such an honor for Coldplay to be in the same order as these great bands! It would be cool if only Coldplayfans would live in Coldplaystreet :P

When I'm walking somewhere and I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do there or what direction we have to go, I always sing: "Where do we go...? " And my boyfriend finishes with: "nobody knows..!" Makes me smile every time! :D

Great pictures at the previous page! :) I can't wait to see them again too.. August 27th it is!! :cool:

Thanks everyone :) @ Ireentje: yes, i remember a girl reading a book, I was thinking: that's a clever way to pass the time! :lol:

Thanks Mathieu! :) It's a shame we didn't meet, maybe next time!

Hi! ;)

What a day.. I took a 5 hour bus drive which turned into a 8 (!!) hour bus drive, because the driver was lost. Then waited from 5 pm untill 8 pm in front of the gates to be the first to run into the frontrow, so I had the best spot EVER. But I hurt a muscle in my neck which started to give me so much pain I almost had to throw up, I also couldn't stand on my feet, nearly fainted.. Probably had to do something with the stress of wainting all day and running to the front row. So I had to leave the frontrow to go see a first aid post!!!! :( I watched the concert from a f*cking big distance, where all the people were talking and not paying attention. Sometimes I couldn't even hear what Chris said because of these people. I was so disappointed, I cried my eyes out during half of the concert. :( And now while I'm watching some videos. I want to say thanks to Carla, you were so nice to me, really! We didn't even officially meet by then! ;) And I can't wait for a tour to start so I can make this up, real good.

Really like the new album, can't wait to go see them this summer! :)

I also went to the concert in Dusseldorf, since they are not playing in Holland.. and it was amazing!!!!!! Thanks for sharing your pictures here, great to relive those moments again! :)

Congratulations is g-r-e-a-t!!!!! At first I wasn't sure if I would like it as much as Oracular, but really..when you've listened it a few times it just keeps growing and growing and gets better every time you hear it. I Found A Whistle and Siberian Breaks (L) Although the album actually is a concept album..when you listen no.1, you want to listen the whole album. And when it's finished, start again :)

I was waiting all day, and managed to get through, but then I filled in everything and suddenly it was too late. :(

Still no tour dates for Holland.... So i'm going to the Düsseldorf show, November 29th!! Can't wait!!!!!!! :cool:
