I think it's bogus people are selling these tickets on craigslist for upwards of $500/ticket when it's a FREE concert. I entered in like 3 e-mails and none of them were chosen

Word on the street is that this is just a warm-up show and Coldplay will be performing for about 50 minutes.

Hopefully, i'll be able to score some decent tickets when they come back in October

Have fun everyone.

Closest I got was seeing Mr. Martin walking up 7th today..

They had an opener which was playing some crappy dnb/downtempo chillout breaks. They played for about an hour. The highlight of the night was when they walked down right to the bottom of our section and did 2 songs right there. I had a great time. Cameras werent allowed so all i have are the shitty pics from my phome which i will post tomorrow after i get some sleep. Meredith snuck in her cam and she will be postin some nice pics soon

cant complain tho...it was FREE

The Blue Jackets were the first act followed by a mediocre dj set by Jon Hopkins that tested people's patience (his ambient brian eno-ish stuff was pretty good, the rest not so much). coldplay came on at 9:30 and played for about 75 min.

i don't really like their music, but they put on a decent show and it was a cool thing to do for their fans. it was far better than the glorified sound-check i expected.

There was no closer. I don't think anyone paid for the tickets.
The opening DJ started a little before 9. Coldplay came on at almost 10 and it was all over at about 11 something. For a "free fan appreciation concert" I wasn't expecing it to be too GRAND to begin with so I wasn't disappointed. Set up,lighting and effects were nice, lasers were pretty good too. Towards the end there was a big confetti explosion.

They did play some tracks off of their previous albums which I was glad for because I don't know many off the new album. They performed well eventhough it wasn't for that long.

Found a good bar with cheap drinks about half a block away for drinks before and after. Met up with Mer, Liz, and Liz's friend J and got properly trashed

Nils got stuck at work late and didn't make it in time for the meetup. Nils, I hope you at least made it to the concert in time.

I didn't even realize there were 2 acts before them. I did leave a few times to get food and beer tho. Or I wasnt in my seat in time to catch the first act.
