Coldplay adds extra tour dates after Ticketmaster presale frenzy leaves fans frustrated

Coldplay reassured their fans after ticket furore erupted on Thursday morning, as enthusiasts were desperate to secure tickets for the UK stretch of their Music of the Spheres Tour 2025.

Following over 150,000 people joining the pre-sale queue at 9am, the band responded by adding more dates.

The group took to social media, announcing: "Due to phenomenal demand in the presale, ninth and tenth Wembley Stadium shows have just been announced, for 7 and 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."

Amongst the fanbase, the news was met with delight. One supporter tweeted about it being "massive news for Coldplay fans", while another was astounded by the band scheduling "10 shows. crazy."

Yet, not everyone shared the same jubilation, with one frustrated fan requesting: "Please can you tell ticketmaster to stop letting us to the front of the queue, saying we're robots and then kicking us to the back again? it's happened twice this morning to me, I just want tickets to see you!!"

Amid this scenario, Coldplay received commendation for eschewing the dynamic ticket pricing strategy that earned Oasis substantial censure. An assurance appeared on the Ticketmaster website claiming: "All ticket prices for these concerts are fixed at the advertised rate", reports the Mirror.

General admission standing tickets for a certain event have been announced at £110.00 each, with an additional £2.75 per order fee, while seats will range from £55.00 to £165.00 per ticket, plus the £2.75 feeexcluding any VIP and hotel packages.

The website has highlighted that on Friday, November 22 an "extremely limited number" of Infinity Tickets will be up for grabs. These particular tickets, priced at £46.75 per pair, guarantee a seat allocated by the organiser which could be situated anywhere within the venue and are sold exclusively in pairs.

Yet, some fans were left incensed upon discovering resale sites already listing tickets shortly after the presale launched. Images circulating on social media
