He's always had a brooding sort of look about him. But he is gorgeous!

Must have been a Willie Nelson tribute! :P

LOL the multiple instruments did remind me a little bit of the Hopeless Wanderer video!

While most tickets did get sold directly to fans for the NYC shows there were quite a few offered on resell sites like Stubhub. I just wish people who really love the band were able to see them and not have to pay hundreds of dollars to a reseller. On the Mumford site people sell tickets at face value which is something I like; fans selling to other real fans There's probably no real fix to the issue.

Yeah, the venue size definitely had an impact on the scalping issue this go 'round but don't they typically sell out stadiums too? I assumed tickets are still sold by scalpers/touts no matter size of venue?

You've got some really good points, especially about venue size. I assume if a legitimate person buys tickets for a group of friends they would meet up beforehand and go in together? Maybe that's not always realistic though?

I agree it's a free market and Coldplay can't and shouldn't have to fix the problem. i do however wonder how so many scalpers/touts can get hold of tickets. Like Coldplero said it seems like there's a relationship between the ticket seller, Ticketmaster etc NOT Coldplay, and the scalpers where they get a kickback from the scalpers. Are there really that many scalpers out there and why are their tickets posted minutes if not seconds after they are bought?? I do think the fact they are checking ID to match the name on tickets is a good start...

Hotter than balls!

There's a Nutella FOOD TRUCK people!!! :D

Holy Crap, just read this on the blog DCist Daily: "The Nutella truck will return to D.C. this weekend, proving that the current heat wave does not mean the city has been forsaken. On Saturday and Sunday, the truck will be parked at the Safeway BBQ Battle (Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street NW) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. giving out free samples."

It'll be interesting to hear what the crowds are like but they must have been planning this with police etc for a while ago and will no doubt be able to deal with crowds

So sorry, if I was your mom I'd make you go. Of course I'd be going too!

Hadn't thought of that, not a bad theory!

Now that couple has some DEEP pockets!!

Hell Yes!! I'd say they're about the size of a matchbook and hold just enough Nutella goodness to spread on a piece of toast or whatever vehicle you use to transport Nutella to your belly!

Oh, they are all powerful. I think they can get anything they want. :)

Not a problem, they make tiny single serve Nutella containers, very lightweight. Load the confetti cannons!!!

If you are allergic to nuts can you no longer listen to Coldplay???! :stunned: That would be tragic

I can picture the Nutella signs,tees, jars of Nutella at the upcoming shows. The possibilities are practically endless....

The Way I Tend to Be- Frank Turner. Finally saw him the other night - AMAZING show!! Not Coldplay but still..... Wow!

Never tried red currant pie but if it's pie, it must be good! Swallow You're not missing anything when it comes to Hershey's Kisses, IMO. Pomegranate?

Tomorrow(6/6) is National Doughnut Day. Gotta get me a Nutella doughnut to celebrate.

Hope you're right about airplay increasing soon!

I find it unbelievable that while it's #1 in U.S I have only heard a Ghost Stories song played one time on the radio here in D.C and it's almost like the album doesn't exist! Granted I don't listen to a ton of radio since it's pretty awful but still.... Hopefully it's different at other stations across the States.
