Queue for Coldplay tickets 250,000 fans long after two-and-a-half hours of sale

Queues for Coldplay tickets have surpassed 250,000 - just two-and-a-half hours into the sale.

Fans are battling to get their hands on general admission tickets for Coldplay's 2025 Music of the Spheres World Tour , with shows in Hull and London next summer. Tickets went on sale on Ticketmaster and SeeTickets on Friday morning. But many are stuck in massive queues with over 250,000 people currently trying for the coveted seats.

Ticketmaster have said that both Craven Park dates are now sold out, with 'extremely limited' availability at nine London dates and one completely sold out. Fans have blasted the queueing system, with many failing to get their hands on tickets during yesterday's pre-sale. A number also complained of being 'kicked out' the queue.

"Aah NO! Queued for 2 & a half hours for tickets," one fan wrote on X. "Started on 21K in the queue — got to the end. Tickets sold out. My little boys are going to be gutted @coldplay they were so looking forward to seeing you. It feels impossible to get tickets for anything these days. #Coldplay."

"So joined at 9am 16,500th in queue for a stadium that seats 90k people, when they are playing for 10 nights (900k?) and somehow it’s all sold out from scalping," another wrote. "@TicketmasterUK @TicketmasterCS #Coldplay worst platform experience I have ever seen. At least pretend you care."
