Forgive me for asking a dumb question, but I can't remember... Is the Beehive on the same street as the Bakery? It was that old school / church? I can't remember and I'll be back in London soon!

Atlanta, GA, USA!

For real! Haha! I got an "S" for my husband's 1st name on my hip, and in deciding the font, I went with Coldplay, lol, I used the S from Speed of Sound's album art!

Awesome!!

Thanks!! :D

Hey Everyone, I am definitely not a new member, but it has been a while since I've been on here and posted. I've been a member since 2003...I can't believe it's been 12+ years of Coldplay love! Anyways, today I made a collage of all the concerts I've been to plus one of the bakery, since it's throwback Thursday, and thought I'd share it with everyone here! There's another pic I wanted to add, but couldn't find it with my phone- but at the Birmingham, AL concert in 2009, I walked into their sound check (the gates were open!) and my mom snapped a pic of me down by the stage with Coldplay on stage singing Everything's Not Lost. I'll post it later once I find it. I was politely asked to leave by security, but one of the roadies had told me I could get a pic with the band. I was so bummed! Link to post

How much are tickets to this show? Could I buy tickets if I'm in the US (planning on going to London for the show, of course!!!)

Congrats Nabil! I tried, no luck :cry:

Whoo!!! :D

haha, I'm just now seeing this...that's me!!!:D

there was a girl and a guy walking around frantically looking for the roadies to answer trivia questions so she could get upgraded. She kept coming up to me while I was standing at the Oxfam booth asking me who to ask. I think she eventually thought it was ME who upgraded people since I knew what she was talking about and knew what some roadies look like. When I started walking around talking to fans for Oxfam she was always around where I was. I told Rachel because she was also looking for Rachel and she said she knew that they had already gave away the upgrades but didn't have the heart to tell her. Crazy. I think it's honestly one of those being in the right place at the right time sort of thing, and to just show how much you love Coldplay and don't 'take a break' from showing your excitement

I had a great time working with Oxfam and seeing the show. I actually wrote a post for the Coldplay on Tour blog, so that should be up sometime soon! :) I was the team leader for Team Atlanta, so I had to be there at 3:30. My mom and my friend came with me because Oxfam America sent me two big boxes to deliver to Rachel full of extra supplies, and there was no way I could carry them from the car by myself. We took them to Rachel and went inside and got everything set up. Coldplay's people were doing their sound check but the band wasn't there. Eventually I got to go backstage with Rachel to put the extra supplies in her tour case and get the tablets. That was really exciting, but I didn't see anyone from the band, just the roadies. Soon we went outside to meet up with the rest of Team Atlanta. Then we had a meeting where we met each other and learned about Oxfam and what we were doing that night. Then it was time to go inside and get ready! We found our groups of 2 or 3 and some people dressed up as food. Once the doors opened at 5:30 everyone went out to talk to fans about Oxfam and take their pictures with food! The photo booth was really cool and I love how we were using tablets which made it a lot more fun I think. At around 8:15 everyone began coming back to the booth to enter in their emails that were written down and clean everything up. This group was great and everyone found something to do! 2 people in our team even got the most signatures so far on the tour! We also took a picture of me, Rachel, my friend Annette and Russ because the 3 girls were super short and Russ was so tall and we all dressed up as food! After we were all packed up, Rachel gave out the tickets. I ended up at first not getting one that was near my mom or one of my friends, so we helped Rachel take everything backstage and waited outside the production office while she found us new tickets. We were backstage 5 minutes before the show was to start and were pretty excited because we didn't know if a band member might walk by us since we passed by the "Coldplay Friends and Family" signs. We didn't see anyone but we talked to the security guard down there (who didn't even know who Coldplay was!). Rachel came back out and said the best words ever: "I hope you don't mind but I got you floor seats!" AWESOME! We were very excited and had to go so we could get to them! We said our goodbyes and thank you's to Rachel and rode the elevator back upstairs. We found our seats maybe a minute before the lights went out! The show started and was amazing as always. We were right next to the X on Guy's side. I got A LOT of pictures and it was just so awesome to be right where Chris was running around. When Vivia La Vida started, Rachel came and found us and took a picture of us with Chris behind us. How awesome is that? She's pretty much the best. The rest of the show was great, Coldplay ran right by us on their way back from the C stage and the girl next to me let/helped me stand up on my chair so I could see and get video of them running by. She also helped me get up at the end when they were bowing. I love it when people help the shorties out at concerts! After the concert we sat down and waited for the big rush of the crowd to leave before we started moving, and I scooped up a ton of confetti! The Xylobands were SO COOL. I knew they would look neat, but when you're there it's just a million times better. I got video of them lighting up, so I'll post the videos later. Here are my pictures on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3595845250938.2141476.1117650376&type=3&l=a02b61ea88 Those are the best of the best because I took over 700 pictures.. whoops! This marked my 9th Coldplay concert, 4th time volunteering with Oxfam and 2nd time being the Team Leader. Maybe the 10th time I'll meet Coldplay? :)

Such an amazing time last night! All of the Oxfam volunteers were great and the concert was so awesome! Coldplay just keeps getting better and better! My seats were on the floor in Section 1 right by the X on guys side! I'll post pictures soon!

Where was the C stage?

Where is the C stage?

Sweet! Yea, I have to be there at 2:30 since I'm the team leader, and everyone else is getting there at 3:30, and I think the doors open at 4:30 or 5

Hey!! Aw! I would have gone to the Tampa show but I just started a new job and have to already take off for the Atlanta show..Have fun!!!

what sections are they coming out to during the show?

I was front row at Music Midtown too!! Everyone should come by and say hi to the Oxfam volunteers!! :)

Hey guys I am the Oxfam team leader for Atlanta! Anyone volunteering on here?

I still have them! I wasn't getting forum emails so I just now checked and saw the responses!

I can mail them wherever! we can work out a price on paypal or something!

Hey guys, I hope I'm posting this in the right spot, but I have 2 Rolling Stone Bags I want to sell I bought three when they first came out, but I'll never use the other 2! (and the offer on the tags for the subscription to Rolling Stone has expired in '09) If you're interested in buying one send me a PM! Here are the pictures:

So Jealous!

Hey, I was wondering if at all the shows if they are consistant about where they go for the B & C stages? And what sections did they go to for this show? I'm trying to find out for the ATL Show, and possibly others I might go to. Thanks, Kaleigh
