Dear Lj Coldplay fanatics:
I just had the best night of my life so far. I've had tickets for the show here in my city (Philly) for a while now... and I must admit they were pretty bad seats. 205, nosebleed, drunks everywhere,etc. But still, it was going to be fun and I've seen them before so it was no big deal.
Anyway after the first opener this girl comes up to where my best friend and I were sitting and asks us if we were big Coldplay fans. Duh, lady. Then she tells us to prove it and sing a song. My mind is blank, so I sing Yellow, terribly. Then she says, "Do you know what Coldplay does for their fans for every show?" and we honestly have no idea, so she goes "They buy out the first three rows of the floor and give them away to their biggest fans." And at this point I'm starting to hyperventilate and my hands are shaking as she pulls a wad of tickets out of her bag. She then says, "You guys are being relocated to the 1st row. Can I have your old tickets?"
I needed to brag about this to people who would appreciate it the most, and who would understand just how effing awesome that whole experience was. We went from seeing tiny specks on a big stage to seeing Chris' spit flying as he sung, and Johnny and Will and Guy just being adorable.
P.S. The concert was absolutely amazing, wherever you may have been sitting or standing or dancing in the aisles. Fantastic as usual.
Was anyone else there tonight?
