This article will help you understand all the details you need to know, including ticket sales, locations, and how to avoid the frustration many fans have faced.
Big News from Coldplay
On September 26, Coldplay shared some important updates about their upcoming concerts in the UK. This news comes after many fans faced issues when trying to buy tickets earlier in the week. Fans had been waiting eagerly for their chance to secure seats to see the band live, especially since the tour will include dates in Hull and London next summer.
Coldplay will perform two shows at Craven Park Stadium in Hull and six shows at Wembley Stadium in London. Many fans had a tough time during the presale event, which saw over 150,000 people trying to purchase tickets at the same time. Unfortunately, many were left disappointed when they couldn’t get tickets, leading to frustration and anger among fans.

Ticket Sales and Prices
Tickets for the UK concerts went on sale through Ticketmaster. The general sale is set to start on September 27. Here’s what fans need to know about ticket prices:
- General admission standing: £112.75
- Seated tickets: £57.75 to £195.25
- VIP packages: Starting from £220
Coldplay also offers a special type of ticket called “Infinity tickets,” priced at just £20. These tickets must be bought in pairs and offer a more affordable option for fans.
What Happened During Presale?
During the presale, many fans encountered long queues on the Ticketmaster website. Some reported waiting for hours without being able to buy tickets. One fan said they started in line at 90,000 and only moved to 73,000 after an hour and a half. This situation led to many people taking to social media to express their disappointment.
A lot of fans were frustrated to see that tickets were being resold on secondary websites for much higher prices, sometimes over £1,000. This made it feel even more unfair to those who were genuinely trying to buy tickets at face value.
The Outpouring of Frustration
On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), many fans voiced their feelings. One person asked, “What’s the point of a presale if so many people can sign up and take all the tickets?” Others shared screenshots showing how much higher the resale prices were compared to what they were trying to pay.
Some fans have called the ticketing process “chaotic” and “a shambles.” They mentioned how they’ve attended previous Coldplay concerts but never experienced such a difficult ticketing situation.
Local Fans Get a Chance
For the shows in Hull, half of the tickets are set aside for local fans. To buy these tickets, residents must show that they have a HU, YO, DN, or LN postcode. This is a nice touch that helps ensure local fans have a fair chance to see the band live.
