COLDPLAY have donated Wembley tickets to a homelessness charity in Brighton.
Naomi Bramley asked the band if they would consider donating a handful of concert tickets to the Justlife charity.
She was thrilled to receive not just free tickets, but an invitation to enjoy their Wembley gig in a private box.
Naomi said: “My children's father worked with Coldplay for many years so I had a contact within the band.
“I decided to be cheeky and ask for some tickets for Justlife clients that I work with, but the band went above and beyond my request for tickets and their generosity and kindness was outstanding.”
They were treated to a three-course meal with a private chef, pre-show and after-show backstage passes, goodie bags of merchandise, and an incredible view of the performance.
The evening was made even more special by Brighton businesses who also chipped in to help.
So happy you guys had fun, Naomi. Thank you for the chance to support @justlifeuk’s life-changing work with the homeless. PH https://t.co/9fd649nk9Z

All Saints in East Street styled the clients with outfits for the gig, and Brighton and Hove Community Transport provided free transportation to Wembley.
Those who attended said that it was the “best experience they had ever had in their life” and made them feel so “valued and alive”.
One of them, Jude, said: “It’s such a long time since I’ve been to a proper concert and I’d forgotten what a buzz it gives me.”
A spokesman for the band wrote on Twitter: “So happy you guys had fun, Naomi.
"Thank you for the chance to support Justlife’s life-changing work with the homeless.”
Justlife is a homelessness charity that provides health and housing support to people who are homeless and living in temporary and emergency accommodation.
This year, Justlife is celebrating its ten-year anniversary in Brighton, marking a decade of supporting local people affected by homelessness.
