Quick video clip from me, taken during the awesome glowing wristband moment in Charlie Brown. Probably the best track of the night for me! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjjHjsGDRf8]Coldplay - Charlie Brown Clip - Manchester Evening News Arena 04/12/2011 - YouTube[/ame]

Quick crappy phone pic from me. Overall a good gig, especially with the awesome wristbands but not quite as good as LCCC. Thats mainly due to the setlist for me but ah well still cracking. Was shocked by the official parking price. £15! Explains why there were some pretty tasty motors in there though.

So is the whole 360 stage thing confirmed? I'm planning on setting off from Leeds early afternoon, grab a bite to eat from Nandos and then get queuing. Might nip down to Curry Mile after and make it a day of awesomeness :D

Got the tickets for the Sunday :D Will keep an eye out for non tout prices for standing tickets for the Saturday and go to both if I get hold of some. If anyone on here ends up having some spare then give me a shout :)

Excellent. Now I just need to make sure I can get the tickets and get to work on time :D

Dagnabbit, woke up late and missed out on standing tickets. Will have to pay tout prices now as I dislike sitting at gigs.

Hurts like heaven sounded awesome. I would have given my left nut to be there today!

I am oh so ruddy tempted to get one but I very much doubt they will let me into the M.E.N arena wearing one

My tickets have arrived. Just gotta hope I don't misplace them like I did with Tiesto. That ended up in me rushing around and ripping my room apart to find them just in time! Oh an if theres any folk who are worried about getting the train back home in time and happen to be situated between Manchester and Leeds then give me a shout. Got a few seats spare in the car if you need a lift Please note - I'm not going to throw you down a hole and force you to put the lotion on your skin or else you get the hose again. Just trying to help out fellow Coldplayers :)

I got to the LCCC around 2 hours before the gates opened and I still got the front. That was due to finding a short queue though. Will probably get to MEN mid afternoon after a trip to Curry Mile for a quick pre show kebab :D

Boom! Got mine :D

I am hoping they play LCCC again. Despite the fact that it is in Lancashire, and so close to the scum ground it was a fantastic venue for the last show they did there

Just hope its not seated like last time. That sucked balls. Prices are pretty steep this time round!

seetickets suck. websites frozen an phone lines are rammed. Just like the foo tickets a few days ago. SOB!

could you not order it online and have it delivered to wherever your staying at whilst your in the uk?

Most newsagents should sell them, along with phone shops like carphonewarehouse etc. You might want to check if your phone is unlocked though

I had the same issue when I saw them in manchester last year, was sat right at the back. I got your message and will get them posted tomorrow :)

I managed to grab a handfull of butterflies when they second burst came out of the cannon type things, i can post you some if you want, just pm me your address :) I got there for around 2.30, queued up with everyone else in the massive long queue before remembering busybeeburns post about entrance 3. After asking a steward i realised entrance 3 was directly behind me and had a massive total of 0 people queuing there so just moved over there with some friends Cheers for the advice on entrance 3, doubt i would have made it so close to the front otherwise :D

My Pics Part 2 Part 2 of my pics-

My Pics Part 1 Went through my pics and cut them down to the half decent ones, and then resized them for the interwebs. This is Part 1. Unfortunatley the videos taken from my digital camera have terrible sound for some reason. Ones from my phone are alright so will be upload them later. At the front of the queue! A pic of me, taken by my mate who was sat on the floor Roadies setting up Folk in their seats, enjoying the sunshine White Lies Strategic change to my rocawear tshirt which was underneath my coldplay one [wore this when i saw hova at the m.e.n arena last year] Jiggas band The man himself And now - the main event!

Completely to forget about the break dancing/sweeping roadie! He was awesome. Got a video of the second half of his break dancing which doesa include the worm. Will upload it shortly

Just got back, been awake since 7.30 and im shattered. Been standing up since around 2.30, and my back is gone. Had a fantastic time though, got a load of butterflies as well :D Took quite a few pics and some vids, will do my best to upload them tomorrow. Oh and coldplay covering billie jean = AWESOME

white lies were pretty good. Waiting for jigga now!

white lies came on about 10 mins ago. Pretty good so far. Just questioning the wisdom of the parents infront of me who barged to the front with a pair of kids who cant be much older than 5 or 6. They cant rest em on the barriers at the front like they planned, nor are they allowed to put em on their shoulders. So the kids are stood here looking bored as hell. Im suprised at how much i can type whilst in a crowd
