What an amazing concert!!! It was our first concert in Hong Kong and only my third large concert. First one was Roxette in Taiwan (yeah.. back in the 90's), and the second one was Cure in LA last year (birthday present from my friends Megan and Grant!).
Getting There and Getting Out
It was extremely convenient to get to the arena since the MTR drops you right inside the arena. I thought I would have had a chance to take pictures of the outside of the arena but we just got pictures of the entrance to the concert hall. The venue offers some food options. The only downside was that there was only one beer stand and the line got really long right before the concert started.
Leaving the venue was a major bottleneck and mad dash towards the MTR entrance. They did arrange for extra trains which helped get the thousands of people back to Hong Kong downtown. Even though getting there took us about 40 minutes, getting back home took an hour and a half. But little of that mattered since the concert was amazing!
The Concert
The Coldplay concert was definitely a great experience! We got two great seats which allowed us to get some great photos and videos. Every music performance had its own backdrop and visual treatment. Chris Martin made sure that every corner of the stadium was able to get a good experience of the band by offering performances on both sides of the extended stage. He entertained and talked to the crowd. He surprised everyone by walking to the back of the hall and playing with his band in the back of the arena for two songs. Needless to say, the music was great and the performance was awesome! We, along with the entire arena, were up on our feed for the entire performance.
Hope you enjoy the few snapshots we have!
