I know you use an e-ticket to get in, which I have, but do you get a wristband like other festivals? (such as Leeds, Reading, etc)

Answer
Im a sales employee working at that event, and the answer is no. You do not get a wristband. If you are talking about needing a wristband to get in, the answer is no. But, you do get an Itunes Live: London wristband as a gift for going to the concert! They give you a wristband at the entrace, and I believe there are different colored ones, but on the wristband, the phrase "Live the London Way" is imprinted on the wristband.

Why is the word "live" (as in "living at home") and "live" (as in "live concert") spelled EXACTLY the same?

The Winner

This seems like a goof in the English language. Sometimes when I'm reading and I see the word "live" I will think of it in the wrong context until I read the entire sentence.

Example:

"Live, work and play"

vs.

"I saw a live snake in my basement"

Why are these two different words spelled exactly the same? Are their any other words in the English language like this?

Answer
Wikipedia has a nice page about heteronyms with quite a list of them (over 80) , their pronunciations, and meanings.
Some from their page:

alternate (alternit): other, substitution
alternate (alternayt): to take turns

bass (base): low in pitch
bass (bass): a fish

close (clohs): nearby
close (cloze): to shut

dove (dohv): past tense of "dive"
dove (duhv): a bird

lead (lehd): a metal
lead (leed): to guide

present (prezent): a gift
present (preezent): to reveal

As to why language has evolved like this.... not sure that anybody could tell you this for certain.

*If you have any idea's for homemad gifts that would be awesome
*And lastly, I do not have a ton of money, so please nothing that cost much

Answer
You can get a bunch of $0.99 or cheap stuff on ebay. Just type in random stuff. Fake diamond earrings, cell phone charms, cell phone covers, weird key chains
For $0.01 plus free shipping you can get 70 pc. bling stick-on decal for phones or whatever else you can stick rhinestones on
For $0.01 plus free shipping you can get a leather 3d bling iphone cover

I just typed in "diamond" and did the search results for "price + shipping lowest first". Type in any random search word. Bracelet, necklace, headband, sunglasses, people sell a lot of sh** for cheap. A lot starting at 1 cent. You could fill stockings with a thousand stocking stuffers if you have $10.

How many gifts are you getting your kids for Christmas?

Natasha

I have three kids. I'm getting them 5 each. I shopped Black Friday so some gifts vary from $4 to $30. Grandma gets them the big gifts. We have a big family so we have nephews, brothers, sisters and in-laws. Happy Holidays.

I am a kid, well teen. From my main parent I get about two or three larger gifts about $75 in price or one huge gift like $300 then about three-five things between $5 and $70 and then one to two stockings filled with about ten-thirty items total of stuff mostly around $1-5 but a few things around $10
then another person who's like a second parent to me/was a parent kinda to me at one point gets me one thing usually just $15-50 or a giftcard equivalent to that
so from "parents/parent figures"
i get around eight things excluding stocking and about thirty things if you include stocking stuffers and get all in total like $500 i guess spent on me by parents/parent figures
