Coldplay: presale tickets and all you need to know

BBC/Steve Barney

Coldplay have confirmed they will play eight UK concerts next summer, their only European dates for 2025 announced so far.

In a statement on Tuesday, the band said on their website that they will appear at Craven Park in Hull for two dates before performing at Wembley Stadium in August.

The band said Hull and London are the only two cities in Europe where they will be appearing next year, with a mystery guest to be announced.

Fans will be rushing to get tickets but they are expected to be flying at the speed of sound - so you will need to be quick!

The tickets will be available to be purchased through Ticketmaster, which you will need an account set up for.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on 26 September 2024 at 09:00 BST.

General sale begins at 09:00 on 27 September.

Ticketmaster has shared some handy tips on how to secure tickets when the day rolls around.

Costs of the tickets are yet to be released but are predicted to be between £70 to just over £100, based on their current world tour prices.

A limited number of Infinity Tickets, priced at £20 per ticket, will be made available for the shows via Ticketmaster at 12:00 GMT on 22 November 2024.

You can register now for pre-sale tickets through Coldplay's website, where you will be sent an access code when the pre-sale starts.

A Ticketmaster account must be registered with the email address given.

Fans can be part of the pre-sale if they pre-order the new album, Moon Music, from Coldplay's Official UK & European stores before 23:59 BST on 24 September 2024, through store.coldplay.com.

Presale access codes and instructions will be emailed to eligible fans from 17:00 on 25 September.

Each access code is valid for up to six tickets at Wembley dates or up to four tickets at Hull.

Tickets are not guaranteed and will be on a first come, first served basis with high demand expected.

Good news for local fans - half of the tickets for the Hull shows will go to them, dependent on having a HU, YO, DN or LN postcode.

This will be through Ticketmaster on 26 September 2024 at 18:00.

The 2025 Hull dates mark Coldplay's first-ever concerts in the city.

Coldplay have some tour dates coming up next month and for the rest of the year as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour.

All the below dates are in 2024 and are already sold out.

During the pre-sale slot on 26 September, all accessible tickets for Wembley will be available from the Wembley Box Office.

For the Hull dates, accessible tickets will be available on Ticketmaster.

Contact details will be available on the show pages during the pre-sale.

Though no confirmation has been made on the number of tickets on sale for the Hull or London events, Craven Park seats 12,000 people and alongside standing capacity can hold up to 25,000 people – meaning there could be up to 50,000 tickets up for grabs across the two nights.

Wembley's capacity is 90,000 - it is the largest stadium venue in the UK. This could mean up to 540,000 tickets are available across the six nights.

The band has announced that 10% of the proceeds from the Wembley and Hull shows will be donated to the Music Venue Trust.

This will support work to help grassroots UK venues and upcoming artists.

London Wembley Stadium events have a ticket limit of six per code during the presale, and 12 per household during the general sale.

Hull Craven Park events have a ticket limit of four per code during the presale, and four per household during the general sale.

The Hull concerts start at 17:00 BST, and no end time has been confirmed yet.

However at recent Music of the Spheres tour shows in Europe, the band have been taking to the stage between 20:30 and 21:00 and have been playing about 21 songs across a two-hour long set.

Coldplay formed in 1997 and are a British band with a mix of pop and rock.

There are four members of the band, including Chris Martin, vocalist and pianist, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer and percussionist Will Champion.

They were originally called Big Fat Noises, and then Starfish, before settling with Coldplay.

Their best known songs include Yellow, Viva La Vida and Fix You and they are considered a bucket list band to see live due to the atmosphere they create.
