I'm a she. :) I didn't even get a chance to pass up on anything, but I truly am happy for you. Congrats on the seats!

Heavensbee: Were you able to get a ticket then? I actually had a Chase card and a Citi card to use and I still didn't have success. The very nice rep at Ticketmaster told me not to give up though — that tickets would continue to be released right up until the show.

I worked for over an hour to try and get even one ticket for the Beacon and finally gave up after talking to a Ticketmaster rep on the phone. I can live with not getting a ticket, small venue, one show, and all. What irks me though is to see all the tickets available through StubHub and eBay already. I saw one auction: $5,500 for a $150 orchestra seat! Is that even legal?

"Secretly Loves to Love"?? If you read this article on Coldplaying.com, it's no secret that you love Coldplay. You probably overload your Facebook page with news and posts, just like I do. There is nothing secretive in being a Coldplayer — we are the obsessive ones, and everyone knows it. It's a nice list for the radio-listening crowd, and it's hard to not love all those songs. But I agree, the true gems are found in the b-sides and all those songs very few outside of this community know by first-chord.

So pleased you received it and that it pleased you. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you to my Secret Santa in Vienna! My card arrived last week and I love it, every bit of it! Secret Santa is a wonderful way to get to know Coldplayers more personally worldwide! Thank you Karla, and thank you Santa! My card will mail to my recipient in the morning. xo from the U.S.!

Thank you for the heads up. Just pre-ordered mine!!

Thanks, all. That's all good to know and makes me feel a little better. And I certainly will heed your advice if we do end up buying tickets at the venue!! 77 days and counting!

Holding my breath for tickets for the Toronto show that we bought through StubHub. (I'd have used the official Ticketmaster site, but I couldn't get four tickets together on a lower level.) StubHub does have a guarantee, so I would get most of my money back ... but that's the least of my worries. If I get there (7 hours from home) and can't get in, I know I will be a crying mess ... in front of my children.

Mitigating. I'm sure it has something to do with Peter Gabriel lyrics. Incendiary is also a great word. And I like to think I'm a lady, and I have no problem with the c- word.

Oh ... and Sleeping Sun!!

Gravity Death and All His Friends and I'd love, love, LOVE to hear Rainy Day live!

Thank you to my Secret Santa, Damiian, in Poland. The card is lovely! I just LOVE Secret Santa!

GREAT banner, Twisted mind!!
