Getting the stage ready for tomorrow. What a view!!

Yeah there are 2 separate shows; one in the morning and one later that day. The tickets I won from the Huawei Facebook comp are for the morning show (Sunrise). This was confirmed to me by Huawei when I ask for more information to plan my trip :)

Sunrise just disclosed the location...and..... It's going to be at the Sydney Opera House!!!!! This is going to be amaaaaaazing!!!!!! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

They've told me that security will start screening people at 6am... So maybe a little before then?? What were your plans?? :)

I WON TICKETS TODAY TOO!!!! SUPER EXCITED!!!! Will totally be worth the hellishly expensive last minute plane tickets I have to buy! :p

Channel 7's Sunrise has just confirmed the band has postponed their 2 show tour of Australia due to illness in the band.... waaaaaaaaahhhh!!! :(

It was definitely not the live recording. It was about a 15 second clip they announced as a "sneak preview of the new Coldplay video"... There is gif on the coldplay twitter page that kinda shows what it's like... It's very much in line with the MX style colours and lighting etc. I'll keep checking the Sunrise website to see if they upload the snippet this morning and will post accordingly.

SO I JUST SAW A CLIP OF THE ACTUAL VIDEO!!! It came on Channel 7 in Australia, on the Sunrise morning show... That's the channel hosting the Huawei special performance. So so annoyed I didn't quickly record it. The official video is IMMINENT guys! --------------------------------- STUDIO: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTFBJgnNgU4]Coldplay - Charlie Brown - YouTube[/ame] LIVE: Not sure if this has been posted: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq-7UBc3BPk&feature=g-u]Coldplay - Charlie Brown (Live) - YouTube[/ame]

WOOOOOP! Yeah I have camping tickets. I'd be keen for a meetup!! Didnt think I'd be seeing them sooooo soon!!!

Splendour Ticketing Troubles Hi all, I thought I'd post this just in case no one knew about it yet. Yesterday I was one of the many that could not buy tickets due to the bank failures... MUCH STRESS! Happiness that eventually I did get my tickets. Usually sells out in 5hrs, this year there are still tickets left after more than 24hrs because so many people were not able to access their money... Westpac's air-con blunder takes a blender to Splendour Karl Quinn May 6, 2011 - 9:15AM Kanye West, who will join Coldplay in headlining Splendour in the Grass this year. Photo: Reuters Splendour in the Grass tickets are still available - thanks to Westpac's meltdown For the past five years, tickets to the Splendour in the Grass music festival have sold out within hours of going on sale, despite what organisers admit were some pretty unreliable systems to handle those sales. Last year's 32,000 tickets went in about five hours, and this year – with Moshtix handling ticket sales and new computer systems in place to cope with the volume – organisers expected to set a new record. But they hadn't counted on Westpac. Shortly before Splendour tickets went on sale at 9am yesterday, word came through that the bank was experiencing difficulties. Air-conditioning units in its computer rooms had failed, and the system was in metaphorical meltdown. That was bad news for any would-be ticket buyers with Westpac accounts, but it got worse. Moshtix relies on a Westpac-provided back end, which meant that processing ticket purchases would be impossible even for customers of financial institutions other than Westpac. So the ticketing agency, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, tried to bring online a back-up system, using facilities provided by the Commonwealth Bank. With just a couple of hours to make that happen, it was never going to be a smooth operation.

By 6pm last night, he estimated that as many as 8000 tickets remained unsold. At 9pm yesterday, ticket sales were suspended. At 9am today, they re-opened. Instead of setting a new ticket sales record, Pittico was hoping merely to alert all those would-be buyers who had given up in frustration – and in the likely belief that they'd been beaten to the tickets by others – that tickets were still available. With a line-up that includes Coldplay and Kanye West in their only Australian shows, Jane's Addiction, Pulp and Devendra Banhardt amongst many others over three days in July, the festival – originally of Byron Bay, NSW, but more recently of Woodfordia, Queensland – is one of the year's biggest events for fans of indie music. Thanks to Westpac, those fans now have one last, and unexpected, chance to grab a piece of the action.

WOOOOOT! JUST GOT MY TICKETS TO SPLENDOUR! Most stressful 45min of my life? Most definately. Anyone else going?

COLDPLAY ARE CONFIRMED FOR SPLENDOUR 2011 Hey guys! Don't know if anyone knows this yet, but Coldplay have been OFFICIALLY confirmed as headliners for Splendour in the Grass 2011. It was announced on Triple J this morning!!!!

I personally think it's safe to get to the venue at least 2 hours before doors open... And to me, aiming for the techno stage (ie the end of the off-ramp on the right of the stage) is the best way to get super close to the band :-D

Haha I was there both nights :-D Good to know I wasn't the only coldplayer there! LOL if were were standing right next to each other!!!!

Had the best spot in the whole arena in my opinion!

I'll post some pix up tomoro. got insanely close to the boys so should have some sweet snaps!
