Completely agree! I feel generally unsettled with large crowds too, and dealt with some unpleasant people such as a man who said he'd block my view if I didn't move, just because his tiny wife had gone to the toilet and I'd slotted in and he kept staring me down. I decided if I were to see them in a stadium again I'd probably sit, the hassle wasn't worth it. But I wouldn't be put off seeing them again in the MEN, infact I'd highly recommend it. It's darker and louder haha. Plus security at the MEN are absolutely top notch, if anyone was too drunk they'd be immediately removed, watched it happen, looked like a violent takedown! But I agree, I feel security and organization was poor at best.

Second time seeing Coldplay yesterday (the other being at the MEN last December) and thought they were brilliant! Especially loved HLH and Speed of Sound. Was abit concerned they'd be tired from the Wembley show, but these fears were put to rest. They performed so well, but at the end of it I felt slightly disappointed. Got there and they'd run out of wristbands, and being with 50,000 people overwhelmed me quite alot (I've never been in a stadium before). We got there around quarter to 8 (I wanted to leave MUCH earlier but my friend said there was no point, so angry with him), so our place in standing wasn't great. We were quite near the front at the MEN so I should've known it wouldn't have been the same. The fact there was no roof and it's good and bad points, the fireworks and lasers looked great and were really spectacular, but the wristbands just looked rather futile. At the end of it, I thought the band were at the top of their game, thoroughly enjoyed their performances and energy, but the fact they'd run out of wristbands was nonetheless unfortunate (not to mention there were still hundreds, if not thousands, of people still left to go in through GA). If I were to give it a score out of 10 I'd probably give a 7, which is painful for me to say, as their MEN show was for me one of the best nights of my life. Really upset that I feel this way, but I've got to emphasize all my "quibbles" had nothing to do with how the band performed (they were AMAZING), my expectations were way too high. What an emotional first post haha
