At a Christmas celebration with some friends and some of their family, I noticed to my great surrise an AHFOD CD lying about among the opened presents. I asked if anyone here was a Coldplay fan. A girl said she got it from her brother who likes Coldplay and said " I know half of the people like this band and the other half don't, and I belong to the latter". Her brother heard that and said, maybe we can exchange it against another CD. In the end I got asked if I want it, but I didn't wanna grab somebody elses present of course so I just said "I only like their earlier works, what would I do with that CD ?" (which is also true, of course, as all of you who know me know :D)

Finally they settled on looking for the receipt and exchanging it at the shop...

No, it wasn't me ! The recipient didn't like Coldplay and that's why she requested it to be returned. Alternatively they kindly offered to give it to me because they understood i am a Coldplay fan but I didn't wanna get somebody's present just because she doesn't like it ! It's hers ! :)

But her brother likes Coldplay so he gave it to her because he thought she wud like it. And now the same gift giver decides its best to return it and she has not listened to it so she´ll never know if she likes it? Dunno...sounds confusing LOL

Well but apparently she dislikes Coldplay and refuses to give listening to a Coldplay album any chance :)

Well any Coldplay album is different, so you can like one and don't like another, like you yourself said to her hehe

 

But I must say strange her brother doesn't know the bands/music she likes hehe

Just watched Adventure of a lifetime live video and I just got so inspired by all the colours Im gonna go and drag out the most colourful outfit from my wardrobe today ! hehe

Haha yeah. But they are both grown-ups and nowadays many adult siblings don't seem to be very close.

Brothers and Sisters unite...it's the time of your lives, it's the time of your lives...

Thanks for sharing it!

You know what, my Coldplay tickets barely avoided catastrophe now ! This is what happened:

 

I bought two Berlin tickets for 85 Euros each and in late November it said they would arrive within a few days. But nothing came.

Three weeks later, still no tickets. I began to get worried. My dad had collected the post while I was still in the US but there was nothing among the letters. Finally I asked him if a letter by *name of the ticket company* had not arrived. And he said, oh wait, there was an advertisement in the post and its on the paper pile destined for garbage. We got it and it contained my Coldplay tickets !!! They would be gone with the garbage if I hadn't asked because he thought it was advertisement !!!

^^Wow!! Glad you caught it! So happy for you!

Pure ticket horror. :) Luckily you were on time and your dad remembered the so-called advertisement mail.

 

I'm wondering, if tickets don't arrive because they are lost during shipment, can't you get a copy of the ticket?

 

I've been in a simular situation, tickets didn't arrive and because I was going to several concerts of the same band in a few weeks time I hadn't noticed it was missing.

The day before the concert my friend asked me to mail him his e-ticket.

Oops.

After contacting the ticket organization I was able to get a free copy of the original tickets at the ticket booth on the evening of the concert. Had to bring along a proof of payment and my ID card.

 

BTW, according to my ticketmaster account the despatch of the tickets for Wembley is on Sun 31 Jan 2016?

Thanks ! Unfortunately, that's still unclear. I will probably be in the US in June but I bought the tickets just in case it works out time-wise, because I feared that i will not get my hands on reasonably-priced tickets if I need them shortly before.

Worst case, I will have to sell them o_O

AOAL just played as the Today Show was going to a commercial

And now I'm at my uncle's chiropractic office and Clocks is playing haha

Finally, there is advertising for AHFOD at the Belgian TV channels too.
