Coldplay ticket issues as pre-sale sells out on Ticketmaster
Tickets became available for purchase at 9 AM on Thursday for those who had pre-ordered Coldplay's latest album, but the quantities were limited.
Fans have taken to social media to discuss the concerts, stating that the pre-sale tickets were completely sold out in only 20 minutes.
One individual mentioned that they spotted this message appearing on the Ticketmaster website at 9:22 AM: "UPDATE: There are no tickets available for this pre-sale at the moment."
An upset fan expressed their frustration, saying: "I really can't wrap my head around this. I realize that most of these are just scams, but it feels incredibly unjust. I’m just an everyday Coldplay supporter who logged in at 9 a.m. as instructed, and somehow I'm stuck at 163,000 in line, while others are already selling tickets."
One more fan commented: “During the first pre-sale for Coldplay, I was in line at 49,000 but obviously missed out on tickets. Now, for the latest pre-sale, the number has jumped to 85,000. I really can’t stand Ticketmaster.”
One person expressed their frustration, saying, "This is my third time waiting in line today for Coldplay tickets. I'm really annoyed. I can't stand Ticketmaster. I just want to buy one ticket, but I'm not willing to pay between £800 and £1000 like some of the sellers are asking."
Another frustrated fan expressed their anger, saying, “This is just outrageous with @TicketmasterUK once more. I had a Priority Access code, joined the waiting line at 8:30, got into the queue at 9, and found myself at number 38,000. After waiting for three and a half hours, I finally got to 990, only to be told it's closed and that all presale tickets are sold out. I’m really upset. @coldplay.”

Wembley Stadium: What’s Its Capacity?
Wembley Stadium has a seating capacity of 90,000, making it the biggest sports arena in the UK and the second largest in Europe.
Next summer, Coldplay is set to perform an extraordinary 10 consecutive nights at Wembley Stadium in London, breaking the previous record held by Take That and Taylor Swift.
On Thursday morning, during an exclusive presale for fans, the band announced two extra shows due to the overwhelming interest in their eight-night run at the stadium that was originally planned for next summer.
