Coldplay sent a message to their fans after a ticket scandal broke out on Thursday morning.

Fans had been eagerly trying to get their hands on tickets to the UK leg of their Music of the Spheres Tour 2025. And now, after more than 150,000 joined the queue for the 9am pre-sale tour, more dates have been released.

Taking to Twitter/X, the band said: "Due to phenomenal demand in the presale, ninth and tenth Wembley Stadium shows have just been announced, for 7 & 8 September, 2025. The presale for these extra shows will begin at 2.30pm BST today, to those with presale access. The presale for the first eight Wembley shows has now ended. The general sale for all UK shows will begin tomorrow (Friday) at 9am BST."

Despite the band being praised for not using the dynamic ticket pricing methods that Oasis was highly criticised for, fans were far from happy to find resale sites already selling tickets.

Minutes after the presale began fans were fuming at the discovery. Some shared images on social media of StubHub advertising some tickets as being listed for over £1,200. Wembley tickets were also available from £723.

One furious fan on Twitter/X said: "Ticketmaster absolutely can stop resale for more than face value but they choose not to. They're on the side of the touts. Half the Coldplay tickets are already up on resale sites." Another blasted: "For all the people already selling Coldplay tickets, you are the scum of the earth and go f*** yourselves."

The upcoming UK dates come after the tour started in South America. Earlier this year, they performed in the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Romania, Italy, Germany and more. Now, fans are set to see the band in action in Hull and Wembley Stadium in London.
