Coldplay announced a string of summer shows in the UK for their Music Of The Spheres world tour, including two dates at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 6 and 7, 2023. As one of the biggest rock bands in the world right now, these shows are bound to be in incredibly high demand.
When did Coldplay tickets for Cardiff go on sale?
Tickets for Coldplay’s Cardiff shows originally went on general sale on Friday, October 28, 2022 at 10am. There was a presale for fans who pre-ordered Music Of The Spheres from the band’s official webstore which took place on Thursday, October 27.
How quickly did Coldplay Cardiff tickets sell out?
Demand for Coldplay’s shows is always incredibly high these days, and the Cardiff dates were no exception. Tickets sold out rapidly, with both dates at Principality Stadium being completely sold out within minutes of going on sale.
Have more Coldplay Cardiff tickets been released since?
There have not been any further ticket releases for Coldplay’s shows in Cardiff since the initial onsale. All tickets were sold during the presales and general onsale.
What options are there for fans who still need Coldplay Cardiff tickets?
For fans who missed out on tickets originally, the main option now is to look on secondary ticketing sites such as StubHub, Viagogo and Twickets. Here people resell tickets they can no longer use, often at inflated prices. There is no guarantee of legitimacy or validity when using secondary sites.
How much are Coldplay Cardiff tickets being resold for?
| Ticket Source | Price Range |
|---|---|
| StubHub | £150 – £500+ |
| Viagogo | £200 – £600+ |
| Twickets | £150 – £350 |
As you can see, prices on secondary markets are hugely inflated compared to the face value, which was between £55-£125 originally. Fans desperate to get tickets may have no choice but to pay over the odds.
Could more Coldplay tickets be released later on?
There is always a possibility of extra tickets being released closer to the shows if the band and promoters release any production holds or unsold VIP tickets. However there are no guarantees and this is not something to count on.
Are there still standard tickets available for other Coldplay UK dates?
Coldplay shows in Manchester, Glasgow and London sold out equally as fast as Cardiff. The only 2023 UK date with some standard ticket availability remaining is the band’s opening night at Etihad Stadium in Manchester on May 31. Even here though, ticket options are very limited.
Will more Coldplay UK tour dates be announced?
There is speculation that due to phenomenal levels of demand, Coldplay may announce further UK shows and potentially return in 2024. However, nothing has been confirmed by the band yet, and any new dates would likely also sell out instantly.
What has the reaction been to Coldplay adding more Cardiff dates?
Fans on social media have reacted with a mix of excitement and frustration. While many are thrilled at the chance to see the band perform across two nights, others are angry and disappointed to have missed out on tickets again, with some now priced out of attending.
Is seeing Coldplay at Principality Stadium a unique experience?
Coldplay are well known for putting on spectacular live shows featuring confetti, fireworks, laser lighting and visual effects. Principality Stadium offers a huge capacity of over 70,000, making it possible for more fans to witness the band’s productions. Stadium rock shows create an amazing atmosphere and energy.
Setlist Predictions
Based on Coldplay’s previous shows on the Music Of The Spheres tour so far, we can make some informed predictions about what kind of setlist they may perform at Principality Stadium.
Songs very likely to feature:
- Higher Power
- Adventure of a Lifetime
- Paradise
- Viva La Vida
- Hymn for the Weekend
- Fix You
- Humankind
- My Universe
- A Sky Full of Stars
Possibilities:
- Clocks
- The Scientist
- Yellow
- In My Place
- God Put a Smile Upon Your Face
- Everyday Life
- Charlie Brown
The band have a huge back catalogue of hits to choose from, so there will be surprise inclusions and rotation across the two nights. But fans can feel confident that classic tracks like “Viva La Vida”, “Fix You” and “Paradise” will feature.
Will these shows be Coldplay’s last in Cardiff or Wales?
There is no indication that these June shows will be Coldplay’s last ever concerts in Cardiff or Wales. The band clearly have a big fanbase here that makes shows viable. However, with Coldplay’s future plans generally quite vague, nothing is guaranteed. If these Principality Stadium dates go well though, the chances of a return seem good.
Conclusion
To conclude, Coldplay’s upcoming Cardiff dates unsurprisingly sold out instantly due to massive levels of demand to see one of the planet’s most popular bands. Tickets are now only available via secondary sites at inflated prices. A few final production hold tickets may get released closer to the shows, but nothing is guaranteed. Assuming these concerts go smoothly, further visits seem likely, but nothing has been announced yet. Principality Stadium will provide a suitably grand venue for Coldplay’s trademark spectacular live performance.
