My AMAZING Experience from Boston August 4, 2008 [i know it's late]
I was searching for Coldplay forums, and I just found this site. I was looking at the older threads and saw the one for the August 4 show back in 2008 in Boston. I was there! I wish I knew about this site then, but I hope it's ok if I post now.
Sorry it's late, but I feel like I need to share. I don't know if this needs to be moved to a different forum.
First of all, I have always loved Coldplay, so being able to go to their concert was a dream come true for me. I went with some friends, and we had tickets for the balcony. So we got to the venue kind of early and we walked around and went to our seats, which were in the balcony but they weren't that bad. Then we were walking around and this guy who looks like he works for Coldplay comes up to us and asks to see our tickets. We were a little suspicious because I didn't know what he wanted. He was looking at our tickets and saying how it's too bad some young girls can't afford better tickets, and he was going on and on, then he says something like "i'm going to move you to the front." So he hands us NEW tickets for the 3RD ROW!
I'm freaking out at this point. We get to our new seats and we sit down and we're are sooo close to the stage, seriously. 3rd row, center. :D It was crazy. I had no idea that Coldplay does this at concerts!!!
Do they always do this?
I can't believe that we were actually lucky enough to be upgraded! We had baclony seats, and then we were sitting in the 3rd row! Ahh. And I couldn't believe all the celebs that were there. The whole concert was amazing, as the other thread said. This was my first Coldplay concert, and it was unbelievable. I wanted to share some pictures.
Coming out-
We were this close...
Saying bye-
