I thought as we one or two of us have been to more than one gig at Wembley, it might be nice to have a place to put the photos and vids from ALL the gigs we have been to, all in one place. I am still uploading my videos, but tomorrow I will add them and a diary of my adventure (of a lifetime) with some of you here. I had a blast. I can't thank you all (whoever I bumped into/spent a day in a queue with) enough for your awesome company. It made the days I spent in the cold/heat another adventure and it made everything easier and more fun. Can't wait to do it all again! Photos to follow!

Great photos, thank you!! Great idea with the flowers! Now I understand who Mr Elephant is And Wally lol, I saw another pic of him, he got a setlist. Perfect view from your hotel. I'm struggling with Youtube, unsuccessfully trying to upload videos, so I'll have to watch yours later. Did it rain every day, poor you all.

Hey guys,
so I finally got a chance to speak with fellow coldplay fans for the whole day before the actual concert. It was amazing to meet so many cheerful coldplayers who support the band so much! Unbelievable!
My idea to wear an elephant costume came from MX dvd when I saw a coldplay fan in the video holding the head of an elephant on his shoulder and just enjoying the concert. So I just made a little upgrade to that + poster 'Chris, need an elephant on stage?'
Never in my life I went to a concert so early - but knowing that it is such a special event I had to something. Arriving on Sunday at 11am at Wembley and seeing already around 40 coldplay fans queuing made me realize how big this band is. HUGE!!!! It was my 1st time experience regarding rushing through the gates to get as near as possible to the stage. And I made it - I was just on a side of the B stage and I was so happy to have made it. The only sad thing regarding all that rushing was I didn't grab a wristband.
The whole Coldplay concert was a Phenomena! 30 minutes before Coldplay's show, the camera staff came to me and told me that he would film me during paradise song and I should be prepared. Through all that jumping I couldn't see nothing trough the mask. Only after the whole concert I was told that I was on the big screen during the 'Paradise' song - that's a definite huge Plus!
In total, Chris Martin reacted 3 times during the whole show towards my elephant appearance. The 1st time when I showed my message he smiled to me and said 'maybe later' which was a huge confidence boost for me. 2nd time it was the beginning of 'Adventure of a lifetime' when Chris invited me into the stage, waved me to come up so I started climbing straight away through the barrier. However, the security guard stopped me and said that it's too late. I tried to speak to him showing him Chris Martin as he invited me to come up but what I understood that it had to be a few second reaction if there was any chance to be on a stage. Gutted really, up till today I feel disappointed of myself but the weight of the whole costume and rain just did not help.... Shame Shame Shame...
The 3rd time Chris reacted was during the end of 'Adventure of a lifetime' he showed a peace sign towards me which was amazing - though I question myself every day if he was disappointed of me that I couldn't be quick enough to be on a stage.
Anyway, the best concert of my life. And having all the emotions put a side, I do tell people that this tour is even better than MX tour - it seems that there's even more confidence in the band and the production team stepped up a lot as well.
I hope you guys had an amazing time too! Sure you did! It's Coldplay isn't it!
I would love to find more videos and photos from the 19 June concert at Wembley - the ones more closer to the stage.
I hope to meet more coldplay fans as well as they are truly dedicated and passionate about Coldplay. Have a wonderful summer guys!

Love the pics, videos and reviews, and welcome again, Dominic! I loved reading your reactions.
Don't think for a second that Chris could have been disappointed in you!! Quite the contrary, he was SO impressed with you that you got several reactions and an invite onstage!! Oh yes, he was thrilled with you, not the least disappointed!

What a great story! I don't Chris Chris is disappointed in you He knows what it's like and how little time you had. I don't know how you could run at all in that costume, climbing the barrier must be so hard! Glad you had a great time and met some of our fellow Coldplayers. And we must try to get you a wristband!

We can so get you a wristband Dominic. Don't worry, PM me your address and I will post you one. No problem, I have four! LOL... I am so glad you got to the front, Andy and I were discussing it all gig, and to see you on the big screens, not once but several times during Paradise was incredible! It made our day, really it did. We also had a fantastic view, not front, as I discussed with you in the queue, but we were far down near the stage in the seating and had a very very good view of the stage as you can see in some of the photos I posted yesterday. Wembley did a good job on Sunday of getting people in. Finally! The first three days were a NIGHTMARE. Seriously, I am very surprised nobody got hurt in that mad stampede to the front of the stage. It was a crazy idea to group the entire queue in one small line and then let them in all at once! Down steep stairs, being pushed from behind, I was very scared all three times. Sunday they saw sense and had lots of different queues. MUCH MUCH better idea. I know I could have got front row if I had wanted on Sunday, which given that I was there early, but not the crack of dawn like Thursday or Saturday, made me very happy. I got the exact seats I wanted and it was as I said, a fabulous gig. Roll on Amsterdam
