Coldplay fans have been left "heartbroken" this morning as hundreds have tried and failed to bag presale tickets for their UK shows in 2025 - with one complaining it is "like Oasis all over again".
Just weeks after hundreds of thousands of Oasis fans were left queuing to even access the main website homepages for Ticketmaster and Gigs and Tours, Coldplay tickets now appear to be almost as difficult to secure - despite the general sale for the band's shows not even launching until tomorrow (September 27).
Presale tickets for Coldplay's shows in London and Hull in August 2025 went on sale at 9am this morning (September 26), with presale codes having been emailed to those who had pre-ordered the band's upcoming album, Moon Music, before midnight on Tuesday, September 24.
General sale will begin at 9am tomorrow (Friday) - but if this morning's presale is anything to go by, it looks set to be another round of chaos and many disappointed fans.
Based on those who have managed to get through the queue for presale tickets, prices appear to range from £57.75 to £195.25 each for seated tickets, while standing tickets are priced at £112.75 each.
However, despite capacity at London's Wembley Stadium being 90,000 - while Craven Park Stadium in Hull can fit just 12,225 people - many Coldplay fans have been stuck in a Ticketmaster queue of almost 200,000 other people this morning, just to get their hands on presale tickets.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) shared a screenshot showing that he was in a Ticketmaster queue with 36,000 people ahead of him, and wrote: "Using the maths that most people in the queue will be buying multiple tickets, and given Wembley’s capacity, the odds are not in my favour… #Coldplay."
And another added: "I joined the queue and there was 7011 in front of me, queue took about 7 minutes to go down and everything had already gone."
Meanwhile, a third fan waited patiently in the Ticketmaster queue from 9am, only to be informed whilst still waiting that presale tickets had sold out.
He wrote: "Everyone can go home. No point queuing anymore for Coldplay tickets. I’m around 5000 in the queue and it’s now come up on the update that it’s SOLD OUT!"
However, if you do plan to try your luck in the general sale tomorrow morning, read on for some things you need to know ahead of time...
Firstly, Ticketmaster has specified that those trying to get their hands on tickets for one of the Wembley Stadium shows can snap up a maximum of six tickets per person, while the Craven Park shows in Hull are capped at four tickets per person.
If you live in Hull, and the billing address postcode on your Ticketmaster account begins with HU, YO, DN, or LN, you could also be eligible for a 'Postcode Presale' - with half of the tickets for the Hull shows being allocated to local fans in these areas. Sadly, there will be no such postcode presale for the shows at Wembley Stadium.
Exact ticket prices will not be available to view until the general sale begins at 9am on Friday, however fans who have shared screenshots from the presale have helpfully disclosed that expected prices will range from £57.75 to £195.25 each for seated tickets, and £112.75 each for standing tickets.
Coldplay have already confirmed that 10 per cent of the band's earnings from their UK shows will be donated to the Music Venue Trust, a registered charity that aims to protect, secure, and improve grassroots music venues around the UK. This is in addition to the band's eco-friendly commitment to power their Wembley shows entirely by solar, wind, and kinetic energy.
Furthermore, a small number of 'Infinity Tickets' will be available for each Coldplay show, giving fans the chance to enjoy the Music of the Spheres World Tour at a bargain price - the equivalent of just £20 per ticket.
These Infinity Tickets must be purchased in pairs, and are randomly allocated throughout each venue - meaning you could end up on the floor, in the back row, or even in a prime position seat. This unpredictability is part of the trade-off for the discount tickets.
