Well first off, yeah, there are a lot of rude people at the Coldplay concert. Not as many hardcore fans as some other artists have in the pit zone. The lady next to me asked me if I get crap for liking Coldplay as a guy? And as for a superfan only concert, Linkin Park has done it in the past! They have a fan group and it was a fan group only concert!

Being it the pit was fun. Some of the audience definitely lacked energy or maybe it's because I'm used to the energy packed audiences of Linkin Park concerts. Definitely noticed the older people and some of the guys just stood there the entire concert. Anyways, here's some pics (I can't make them smaller or hide them in a spoiler box here):

Really hoping for something Fantastic to end off this tour! In the hometown of Charlie Brown!

It's not that we don't care. Just most of us are not driving from that direction. Good luck!

Wow, How did I completely forget about the hometown connection. Now I am definitely looking forward to Charlie Brown

Have fun you guys! I'll be coming in tomorrow!

Depends on what you like and when you want to do it. There's lots of beautiful scenery in Minneapolis next to the Mississippi and Guthrie theater. Then there's the giant Mall of America if you like shopping and riding roller coasters in the mall. Great food in the twin cities.

They start at 9 PM but you are probably there by now so I'm just answering just in case :P

so what's going on with the coldplay film? Did they film Chicago as well?

I actually never knew about the ticket upgrades and all the fun fan made clothes. So I just introduced the idea to my friends. And wow, quite a drive. Interesting enough, I'm driving all the way down to Chicago in two weeks to see a Linkin Park/Incubus concert :lol:

So where are your seats for the concert?

Are you not from Minnesota? And yeah, you blog defines just how big of a Coldplay fan you are :laugh3: It's really cool though. Jealous of your coldplay shoes. Those are slick

It'll end around 11ish

If the lens is hidden in the camera when it's off then you are good. As for time, the opening acts come on at 7 PM so you have time. Since it's all prearranged seating you don't have to get there early. If you want to see the opening acts then just get there a little earlier in case you wanted to buy merchandise and bathroom breaks.

Wow that's great! I don't have VIP tickets. I'm already paying so much for my two concerts this summer. EDIT: Just saw your blog. Wow, all your posts are getting me so excited haha :D

I might be right behind you. I'm in row 13!

I am so excited for this! Wonder if they'll be doing anything special since it's the last US Tour Date! Hope to some of you guys there. Maybe even party it up in the General Audience!

Wait...seriously? I thought it was the 25th....now I have to go check my stores tomorrow

I'm holding out for the tuesday US CD release. I've waited this long just so I could get the experience of opening the CD case and sliding it in my stereo. I'm not a fan of mp3 albums simply because you don't get the same experience

I have got to stop coming on this thread and site forum. It just makes it harder for me to resist haha. But I'm going to resist it anyways! Go 25th....why...25th....why...wish it'd come at least with the rest of the world on the 24th

I have never been the type to listen to a leak to an album. If it's an artist that I tend to care less about I may listen to...but even then, I don't bother just because in those cases I just don't are as much. With Coldplay and Linkin Park, I refuse to listen to leaks because I absolutely love the experience of opening the cd and plugging it into my stereo set with my headphones on. Then I can flip through the book and know that I am listening to the best possible quality of the songs in the best conditions that I can get them. For me leaks just feel like it's not as good. At least I'm not going as far as I did with Linkin Park...I refused to look at the tracklist :lol: And oh, I refused to listen to the lives and read song descriptions. I like that initial shock of a new song

Well you only have to bring your husband to Minnesota once and up to boundary waters + the lake shore and he'll be addicted (....but in the summer or early, early fall.....). It really is an amazing place here with the environment and Minneapolis is a great city too. Of course Cincin is great too. I've been there I believe twice. And I mean no offense, but Linkin Park's concert is a hard one to beat as well. They're great live performers and their new music+stage was great as well.
