Q. This may sound ignorant, but there were a lot of people in the awesome new video Lost! How does one go about getting consent from all of those people to be in a music video (not like anyone in their right mind would object). Is it just a, "Hey guys, we're filming a video tonight, you're going to be in it"?
The Oracle replies:
Not at all, basically it's part of the standard terms & conditions of sale of a ticket (and is printed on the reverse) that the audience may be photographed or filmed and therefore by buying a ticket you are agreeing to that potential. Sometimes if it's for a video or DVD, there are signs around the venue.

Q. Dear Oracle! First of all I want to say thank you for answering all the questions! I really enjoy reading your answers to all those questions whether they're Coldplay related or not. Now my question: I went to the concert in Vienna last Wednesday (which was absolutely amazing!!) and at some point of the show the guys came to the back of the hall to a small space between the crowd and they were performing two songs there(I was standing right in front of them *smile*) Now I was wondering whether they are doing this on every concert or just sometimes?
The Oracle replies:
They call this segment of the show the acoustic section on Stage C and yes, it happens at every gig.

Q. Since almost 80% of Coldplay's songs are played by the guitar with a custom tuning. Isn't Chris a bit sick of tuning the guitars up and down all the time?
The Oracle replies:
That's what Hoppy is there for! Hoppy is the band's backline and Chris' guitar technician so it is he who tunes the guitars.
