I got tickets in Section 113.....the same place I sat on the first leg of the Viva tour when they played two songs in the crowd......3 rows up from my seat. I shook each of the guys hands as they climbed the stairs from the floor to the mini-stage, as I had an isle seat and they came up right next to me. In fact, Will slipped and I grabbed his arm and helped him up, he said "thanks", and then quickly got into position. Anyway....my question is.... Are they going into the crowd and playing on the current tour? If so, for this arena, I just might be in the perfect spot.....again! I will be sneaking a better camera in this time.....I only have 2 crappy cell phone shots from last time, but it was unbelievable. Got tickets for my daughter for Christmas........this will be her 2nd show, my wife's 3rd.....and my 7th. Saw them at the Fillmore in SF on the pre-XY tour......only feet away from the stage then...... To say I am excited is an understatement. L

Hello All: I too was LUCKY enough to have tickets in 113 last night. I have been very lucky with Ticketmaster in the past too......I got tickets for Coldplay at the Fillmore in May of 2005 on the X & Y short promo tour.......images of Robin Williams "blessing the crowd from the balcony" (and the best band in the world) playing in such a small space was amazing. I thought I was close to the band then..........last night topped it for me. I was in Row 11, seats 9 and 10 for my girlfriend Denise and I. This was my 5th Coldplay show. We noticed all of the extra security hanging out (there was a nice blond lady next to me (I was in the aisle seat) and I said hey......I know they go into the crowd....they are coming by here aren't they. I assumed (fortunatley, this was a wrong assumption) that Chris would come whizzing by. Sure enough.....here they come. I had my hand out to give them a "high five" as they passed me, but Chris has his head down, so I patted him, and Johnny and Guy and Will on the back as they went by. Will was a little out of breath as he got to me and he slowed down and looked me in the eye and I helped pull him up the stairs. My girlfriend (Coldplay show number 1 for her) almost fainted. She kept yelling......"You got to touch them......OMG.........they are your favorite and you got to touch them......OMG!!!!" Once they stopped and started playing I almost passed out when I realized that they were only 5 rows in front of me. My cell phone camera is the craps...but here is a short my girlfriend got of me so my kids (I am a high school teacher) can see that I got to see and actually pat them on the back. Hopefully the picture shows up......my girlfriend is an awesome photographer and we did not bring a camera.....and they did not search......so everybody out there......try and get one in and get more pics. "I promise you I will learn from my mistakes". - CM Thanks to everybody for the posts of the show and the great reviews (I agree with them). There are too many people out there in my age bracket (45) that forgot what rocking out was all about. They are at a Coldplay concert cause it is the thing to do. They just sit there and watch them play. I read Coldplaying every day so I KNOW about the best band in the world. Thanks to all who have and will continue to post. I even send in notices when I find information to share. Sincerely, MC ps.....If somebody could e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know how to get a copy of Nick's video of the show (I am just out of view as they come up the steps) I would greatly appreciate it.
