Coldplay get takeaway pizza delivery for queuing fans

Coldplay rewarded their loyal fans who queued overnight to get their hands on tickets for an exclusive gig in Norwich by having takeaway pizzas delivered.

The band were reportedly so touched by the loyalty of their fans that they arranged for a local pizza takeaway to deliver stacks of piping hot pizzas to the music lovers who’d decided to camp out overnight so they would be first through the box office doors to buy tickets for the intimate gig in Norwich.

The one-off concert was organised as part of Radio 1’s Student Tour, with Coldplay scheduled to perform at East Anglia University on October 27^th as part of the event. However with just 1,200 tickets at £20 each available, demand was likely to far outstrip supply, and so hundreds of die-hard Coldplay fans decided they couldn’t risk not getting a ticket, and so slept in the queue to ensure they were first in line when the show went on sale at 9am last Saturday.

Coldplay are not the first bunch of celebrities to order takeaway pizzas for the fans, in fact the practice is becoming something of a trend with Beyonce getting the pizzas in for her followers at a TV recording at the BBC, and Lady Gaga ordering pizza delivery from Papa John’s for her “little monsters” who’d queued for hours at an album signing.
