Hurrah, Mansfield is only 45 minutes from me! Thrilled that elbow will be briefly back in the US. Now to see what ticket prices are going to be... I don't really want to pay $75 to see mostly Coldplay.

Excellent!

I'm going to shoot for the Mansfield show. It's not far from me either, erasure.

cheers

Nice thought, but I think the popularity issues might make that a difficult tour!

I think it's great news, Coldplay really admire Elbow and cite them as an influence, so there's a lot of respect there. And it's a fantastic coup for exposure to NA for the Elboys.

Oh my god. I'm SO excited! This will be the first time I get to see Elbow live after being a fan for 6 years!! It's a pity they're supporting Coldplay but I'm still over the moon. Very Happy

what i meant was that coldplay does not deserve elbow.
bah

I admittedly wish Elbow were(was?) the headliner as well. For me, the show will be all about seeing Elbow.

I was a big Coldplay fan way back when. Parachutes was brilliant. A Rush of Blood to the Head wasn't too shabby either. I don't hate them now, but have sort of lost interest. I miss that more raw sound of theirs.

Anyway, with that being said, I'm THRILLED that Elbow will be back on this side of the pond once again. I've missed them so!

I felt exactly the same way but I saw them a couple of times just before Xmas and had a blast! I think you will enjoy it, just be open-minded...
Anyway, I think it's brilliant exposure for the boys and if they travel out that far they are bound to do a show or two of their own! Thumbs Up!

I am definitely considering buying tickets for the Mansfield date, but does anyone know how much they charge for tix? I get the feeling it will sell out fairly quickly. There's a huge gap in the tour dates, so I'm hoping for a possible sideshow before attempting to see Coldplay.

I have a smaller problem about Elbow supporting Coldplay than Elbow collaborating with huge orchestras and choirs... Neutral

At least the Coldies come from the same direction and are at least not as softrinsed as other Coldplay-Ripoffbands we have here in boring old Germany Rolling Eyes

I have no idea about ticket prices.

My significant other always waits till the very last minute and purchases tickets from different ticket sites he frequents. He pays a small fortune but usually gets us right up front, which is worth it to us as we don't go to a whole bunch of shows anymore.

So, I'm patiently waiting.

Subject: Re: Elbow to Support Coldplay Wed 11 Feb 2009, 15:23

Definitely worth it!
I had a front row ticket for one of the Coldplay shows and it was wonderful...
Sweat on me, Jonny! Sweat on me!!! (lol only kidding...) Razz
