I AM GOING TO SEE THEM! So all I have had a crazy 2 days. First I got a ticket for Wednesday from a Coldplayer we once offered a ride from the Berlin concert to Hannover. She had a +1 ticket and asked me. So that was the first happy shock. Then it turned out that we could get some more tickets for fans but the information about how to get them changed almost every hour. So I have spammed Dustin with PMs about that...I hope he reads them or this as we definitely have a ticket for him now. If you know of anyone else who still wants one let me know, it may be possible to get another one. Congratulations!!! Seeing concerts start again slowly and reading about people's ticket adventures again is surreal. Even the trials of getting tickets, as hard as it is to go through, is nice to read about. Be careful, have the best time and yell "I love you!" to them from all of us jealous people here on the forum.

We just got the confirmation!
Important: we still have one, probably two spare tickets! Before I ask enyone else: is there anyone here who wants to go? it's in Berlin on Wednesday at 20:30h. Unfortunately because of COVID UK residents are probably not allowed.

In the meantime, I have also won tickets for the Late Night Berlin show which will be recorded before the Coldplay concert. Rumor has it that Chris and Jonny will be interviewed in that show. So Jelena and I will see that as well. We are really really lucky this time. Will keep you updated when I can 👍

So yeah here I am waiting for the entry while Jelena is out shopping for food. 😅 Edit: No worries. With a lot of wondering and asking we found a closed gate with no name that would actually be the official entrance for the Late Night Berlin show lol. And the staff wondered why so few people came...

Hi all, I am finally back home! What exciting days these were and the concert was amazing. Dustin already told some of it but here comes my account - not too many details as I am too tired Well, right after we had managed to find two lovely Coldplay fans for our spare tickets we thought we had organized everything and suddenly Dustin gets this confusing email by Warner - he won tickets for 4pm - 9.30pm, but our concert tickets said 6.30pm. As he already told you that was for the TV-Show "Late Night Berlin" were Chris and Will were guests adn which was taped before the concert. So we met up with the usual fans and familiar faces who were already there for the concert and finally found he entrance for the show. For both concert and TV show we had to be fully vaccinated and tested on the day, everything had to be provided digitally with a QR code (which caused some stress as well as not every test station offers that) and they also checked our temperature - once before the show and once before the concert. Well, better be safe than sorry. The show was better than I had expected, of course we had to do the usual clapping and laughing on cue, then there were some technical difficutlies but finally Chris and Will came and the interview was quite nice. I won't spoil too much here. In the end they had the superfan quiz - Will and Chris had to play against a superfan (named Katrin who none of us had ever met but who really knew a lot) to see who knew more about Coldplay. Of course the superfan won, I won#t spolier too much, let me just say that Ode to Deodorant and the tambourine lady were mentioned Poor Chris was really embarrassed about Ode but in the end he was relaxed again and even read the German text from the teleprompter. We were not allowed to take anything into the show, including mobiles and jackets. So after the show they wanted to film us how we were walking exitedly from one studio to the concert studio but we all wanted our stuff back So we got it all back and then of course the continuity was messed up as we all suddenly wore jackets Let's just say is was not very well planned through... Anyway we got marched outside and past the line of fans queueing for the concert and to the "VIP" line. We were let in at the same time as the others, had to do the security check again and check in our bags as well but we were in the front and that way we met the others again and finally all ended up first row or close to (I was second row trying to dodge the cameras but I fear I did not succeed). But first we still had to wait in the foyer for quite a long time - show was over around 6:30pm and entry was at 8pm. Well and then the concert started, which was great. Chris was so happy and he has a lot of new dance moves. The Sound, especially of thes new songs, was not very good unfortunately. I guess POTP will be a hot contender for my new favourite song. It's insane. For those who cannot wait: playlist on youtube

Sounds amazing! So Chris was back to being happy again? Yes, he seemed genuinely happy on stage, he laughed so much. I hope it comes across on TV. I think part of it was that the crowd at the concert was really good - everybody sang every lyric, at least it felt like that, even from the new songs. And it was very clear that we all LOVE the new songs, I think that made them all very happy. In the TV-show Chris seemed a bit tense at first, but he usually always is, especially if the MC is not a native English speaker I noticed. (I think he does not want to embarrass the MC if they do not understand him) But (apart from Ode to Deodorant ) he had fun with the quiz and was really enjoying himself reading in German
