All the roadies seemed busy and a lot of people were yelling for a setlist so I asked the head security for one instead (who was standing their alone). Even if it's not from the roadies, I still got one! :D

Whoa! That's insane!! Mind sending one of those guitar picks? :P Didn't end up buying the tote bag but two posters and a tour shirt :D

+170

We definitely should next time! :D

It came to $18.95 CAD when I bought it ($10 for shipping)! Sooo going to frame this! :D

Oh okay! Thanks!! I'm definitely buying it! :D And Ziggy, thank you so much for the flags again!

Have a great time guys!! :D

Lucky!! Never really had a chance to see what people were selling outside the venue. :P

Great videos guys!! :D For those Toronto posters, where were they selling them? How much did it cost? :P They're so pretty!!

Some of the pictures! :) Other pictures are here: http://s943.photobucket.com/albums/ad273/aunieb/Coldplay/ I haven't uploaded all of them yet though!

Ahah! No worries! I would probably have done the same thing. :P

I saw him looking at you guys! Uber jealous!!

:shocked2::stunned: WHOA! AMAZING!

Hippo, I never gave you your drink. :P

Coldplay saved our house. Literally. We got back from America yesterday morning (my dad drove all night) and arrived to see the pipe in our fridge had burst and flooded our kitchen and dining room and parts of the basement. Everything is okay now, thank goodness for insurance! My parents wanted to stay longer in America but Coldplay comes first and a good thing too because I'm pretty sure our entire main floor and basement would have been damaged. So my sister and I arrived at the GA gate around 2:30. We didn't know where the other Coldplayers were but got in line anyway. We met cazmartini in line but didn’t know it was her yet haha. By 4pm or so, things started to get hectic. The security people said that they were going split up the line and stand at another gate and we were sent to another gate. People started to complain that now it was unfair for those who had lined up at 11am (someone apparently lined up at 6am!) and I agree that is definitely not fair. The security guard said that they would let the people in the original gate 4 minutes ahead of the gate from where we were moved to. We decided to move back to the original one. By 5pm-ish we overheard that they were going to cut right before us and move a slew of people in front of us because the other gate wasn’t being used anymore which is really unfair as a lot of people in the back of that line came later than us. But the coldplayers stuck up for one another and told the security that we and the girls behind us that we had been here for a long time and they started the line up after us. Coldplayers rock! :D Gates were supposed to open at 6 but they were having technical difficulties and opened it around 6:20ish (I think that was the time). People wanted to cut us but the mother of one of the girls from buffalo made sure no one did. Coldplayers are awesome, did I mention that? After getting in, my sister was behind but we had decided that one of us would have to book it to get a good place and I walked fastly (not allowed to run) and caught up with cazmartini and the girls from Buffalo and my sister soon followed and got to know one another. The centre of the pit was filled up already (by the 6am and 11am people, they deserve it ) so we were on the centre-ish right of the stage, still front row! Kitty Daisy & Lewis came on around 7:30 and I thought they didn’t really suit Coldplay’s genre of music but they were okay. I don’t think many people liked them. But the instruments were pretty cool! They played five songs or so. Elbow came on and they were amazing, really liked them. I’m planning on getting some of their songs. They played a handful of songs as well. They ended at 9pm. My legs were starting to hurt from standing but the moment the lights went down and Technicolor came on, I didn’t think about my legs once during the remainder of the concert. Everything seemed so surreal, Guy was right in front of us doing his thing on the bass and Chris was flying around everywhere on stage (even did a somersault!). We couldn’t see Johnny and Will that well but we did occasionally see them and they were full of energy! The entire band was so energetic and Guy was smiling so much!! The pit people were great as well, tons of chanting and singing from the start to the end of the concert. The entire stadium (I think it was 45,000 instead since the whole stadium wasn’t used) was singing as well. Yellow was amazing and the yellow balloon balls and noticed that people were trying to put them on the stage and Chris popped a couple with his guitar. All of their songs were so perfect but at times Johnny and Guy’s guitars seemed to have problems but I don’t think anyone noticed. Chris made jokes along the way (about his hair, the garbage strike) and included Toronto in some of the songs which were great!! They went into the crowd on the c-stage (Green Eyes, DWNC, Billie Jean) and they sounded so amazing. I loved Green Eyes!! Politik was amazing as well, my fave song! I filmed it too! Lovers of Japan and the confetti were amazing and they glowed in the dark and it looked so pretty!! They said their goodbyes after DAAHF and my mom thought that was the end (she was in the 500s) and had left early, missing the last two songs. The stadium sang happy birthday to Will (the pit people were trying to sing the song before in the concert but didn’t really work out) and brought out balloons and a cake which was really nice! After they played the last song, I still wanted more; the concert went by so fast! They said they were coming back a couple of years later which made me sad but understood why. I took tons of pictures and videos along the way and some turned out great! It was difficult to take a good picture of Chris, he moved too much! :P As well as the getting a picture of the entire band. A lot of people were staying behind to get a setlist but we had to leave quickly as our dad was waiting outside. But we decided to ask a man in red coat who looked as though he could be the head security and he pulled a setlist from his pocket and gave it to us! As we were leaving, we saw a woman with Will’s balloons and took a picture of them, she was so lucky! It was so difficult to leave Rogers Centre, everywhere was clogged with people trying to get out. It was because of the free CDs and we went outside to see that all of the CDs from our gate was all gone. But our mom knew something like this would happen and got our CDs beforehand. I will never forget this night, it was fantastic!! It was so great to see other coldplayers!! Most of all, to see Coldplay so up close. Thank you Coldplay for saving our house!! Pics are going to be up soon!! :D

SO EXCITED!! Just came back from vacation and came to see our house half-flooded but still going to the concert, hopefully to cheer us up!! :D

Do you guys think the t-shirts will say 2009 instead of 2008? Because there aren't any new shirts with 2009.

Has anyone bought the tote bag? It looks pretty cool but I'm not sure if it's worth buying. I'm already going have to spend at least $40 on merch, for a t-shirt. :confused:

TWOOO DAYS!!

Copy and paste it here Sassoon!! Okay 2pm sounds good for me! :)

Hey! What is going on with the meet-up? No one's talking about it anymore... :confused:

What time are you guys going to be there for? I think we need to make a plan for that so everyone gets there at th same time I guess, haha. I suggest 2-3pm, unless you're planning to stand in line for 8 hours. :\

It says on the upper right hand side of any ticket you bought through the Argos pre sale. You should have gotten vouchers that would allow you to exchange them for bronze seated tickets. There is no GA for football games. Speaking of such vouchers, anyone want to buy mine? :D

You should credit Ziggy if you're going to use it! :p

I'm not sure what it is but I don't think it really matters, GA is GA. :P You could try calling Rogers Centre or emailing ticketmaster and ask what it means.
