Haha glad everyone else heard that. I actually love that line

I don't know how you feel about this, but I thought it was "i know it's over before she says, know someone else is taking your place. I know it's over, Icarus says, to the sun." Referencing Icarus who died because he flew too close to the sun. Not sure if anyone else buys that haha

I'm in the same boat, please help!

That's really cool!

Here's the front of the shirt I made: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/img4877ah.jpg/ I got there late as well, and was walking around in that shirt and a roadie stopped to talk to me. I didn't get upgraded because he didn't have any more tickets he said, but it was really exciting! Good luck!

Hmmmm investigate this I must

Just got home from baltimore! That was AMAZING! The show was so good. I'd say it was their best performance of the 3 shows I've been to. I was in section 112 slightly behind the stage, but our view was great still. Before the show, I was walking around outside of the merchant stand (I made my own MX shirt with graffiti paint) and a coldplay roadie (forget his name) came up and talked to me. He told me he liked my shirt, and asked how many were in my party. Unfortunately, they had already given away all the floor upgrades... so that was a bummer. But I almost got upgraded! Nonetheless, I was amped for the show.... Starting off with hurts like heaven was SO COOL. I loved LIT, but MX/HLH was such a great opener. With the wrist bands, I literally freaked out. Best thing ever. In my place was the best that I had seen it played by them, and the confetti was awesome. MM was very good also, being one of my least favorite songs of MX, I wasn't sure, but live it was SO AMAZING. And Chris was leading the way with "Make some mother f******* noooooise!". Lovers in Japan was great with the balloons, my only complaint was that I didn't get sprayed with confetti this time! The scientist sing along was great. I really enjoyed the acoustic version of yellow he played at the start of it. People went INSANE for that song, especially after he dedicated it to his wife Gwen who was in the audience! I would say VH and GPASUYF were the least memorable songs for me, I enjoyed them obviously, but after that opening set of songs I was just in awe and kinda took a break off these songs. POC was really cool, even with the piped in rihanna. I enjoyed it! Especially the sing along aspect of it. The main attraction of the center stage was WARNING SIGN. It was so awesome live, I just loved that. DLIBYH was great, and the intro (Hopefull transmission) was fun too. It seems like it could use some polishing, but was still great! Onto VLV, CB, and Paradise. What an amazing end to the first set. These are as good as any song Coldplay played, and CB was just too cool. Paradise is always a fun song. and the VLV sing along was fantastic. I really liked speed of sound in the first encore, I thought it was really cool how they did it acoustic. PEople still went nuts for it. The breakout into clocks (after Chris ran over and hugged Gweneth) was AWESOME, and the last 3 songs were phenomenal. ETIAW is as good live as any of their songs, and it was honestly so much fun just dancing to it at the end with Chris. Overall, it was definitely a trip I would only do again to see Coldplay!! Got to see Warning Sign, Speed of Sound, and all the new songs. The fans were awesome. The roadies were awesome. I got a yellow wrist band (my fav color, song, mustard type, and labradour retriever type). Best. Concert. Ever.

I'll write more later... But so awesome! I wore my spray painted MX shirt with blue letters (lemme know if you saw it..). A roadie came to talk to me but he'd alrdy given away all the upgrades. Oh well! It was so awesome. I loved ETIAW, Charlie brown, paradise, along with all the classics. Oh, and WARNING SIGN was Fuggin awesome! (if Chris can say it I can say it. Right?) the only downside was driving back to Brooklyn that night and having to wake up at 7 today.. But it's all good. Concert review to come!

Anyone looking for a couple tickets?

.

Haha yep! As a side note, I may have found some moderately priced tickets on craigslist and have decided to upgrade my seats... If anyone is still looking for tickets, I MAY be able to sell my section 112 tickets to you (for face value, obvi, I'm no ticket scalper!). So if you're still looking for tickets to this show, shoot me a PM and i'll get back to ya! EDIT: I don't currently have the extra ticket... but if I do get it I will let you all know!

Hey guys! I just got my tickets yesterday: Section 112 row 17. Not too shabby being so last minute. I'll be driving up from baltimore so it'll be quite a trip! I was originally on the oxfam team, but they said I couldn't bring a friend who didn't get in, so I decided just to buy tickets. SWEET

Anyone know when the one on coldplay.com will be on sale?

maybe issue 4 is up with the birds because by then they'll have another installment of music for us to listen to to finish off the comic :O

Looking for 2-4 tickets for the august 4th show in new jesey!

I've seen pictures from shows and it appears that you will be able to see everything if you are behind the stage. It looks like they are trying to have the Xylobands light up the entire arena (stadium?) where they are playing so they want everyone to be seen/see what is going on! PS I don't have tickets to this show yet... but I need to get them... like I'll do anything. Lol

Would you guys say that the tickets behind the stage are worth it? It appears there is a decent view there

I'm like psychic or something...

Message sent!

Lol I saw that.. how did you manage that? Nonetheless I still feel like there will be more open for the actual sale... IDK how much I wanna spend on tickets this tour.. Maybe I'll just try for some good ones away from the stage.. But... it's so good close :(

From my experience there will be floor seats on sale when they go on regular sale. But I can't be certain.. I feel like the presales always gave decent seats but nothing extraordinary.

Oh my gawsh you guys are still here! I tried to move on, but I just can't! Look!! Jack, I'm flying!!

LOLOLOL. This

PoC for sure. I can already see the duet being performed at the Grammy's

I think the part that is wrong is: 'It's telling that the best stuff echoes other artists: ''Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall'' cops its melody from the Sacados' ''Ritmo de la Noche,'' and the Rihanna-featuring ''Princess of China'' has the same dubby drums you'd find on, well, a Rihanna track. Pensive piano ballad ''Up With the Birds'' even borrows lyrics from Leonard Cohen's ''Anthem.''' I mean.. who the hell has heard of Ritmo de la Noche before this? And I haven't hera 'Anthem' before either, and it's only a hanful of lyrics that were taken from it. She's saying that PoC, ETIAW, and UWTB are the 3 best songs on the album? And that they don't actually sound like Coldplay? True for ETIAW and PoC, but UWTB is classic Coldplay (with a handful of borrowed lyrics...) Seems like she is trying way too hard to find reasons for hating it. It seems like the author
