as a way to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, sandie surprised me with tickets to see coldplay in philly this past weekend. i was totally caught off guard…especially since i didn’t even know coldplay was going to be in philly this past weekend. oh, just wait. it gets better.
so we went really early to make sure we could find our seats. while we were just sitting there, this lady came up to us and asked us how we were doing. she asked if she could ask a question…and promised that it would be worth our time. we had nothing else to do, so of course we said yes. she asked us to name all the coldplay albums. i responded with “viva la vida,” “x and y,” “coldplay live 2003,” and “rush of blood to the head.” easy.

now’s where the fun starts. she asked to see our tickets. we were a bit hesitant, but we handed them over to her because she seemed legitimate with the band polo on and a walkie-talkie. she took our tickets and said that she would upgrade them as long as we promise to go there right away and cheer really loudly when the band comes out. she handed us the tickets and they were for the 2nd row on the floor!!! holy crap!

so sandie and i got to see coldplay this past weekend…from the second row! let me tell you, chris martin sweats on stage like no body’s business. kinda gross…but kinda awesome!
so my word of advice for this cold monday, know thine band trivia for you never know when it might get you front row seats!

best weekend ever! thanks sandie!
