Furious Coldplay fans call for investigation over Ticketmaster 'limited availability' as soon as general sale starts

Furious Coldplay fans are calling for an investigation after joining huge queues on Ticketmaster to buy tickets to see the band in 2025 - only for a message to say there was "extremely limited availability" as soon as the general sale started this morning (September 27).

Tickets went on general sale for Coldplay's UK stadium gigs in Hull and London at 9am, after a pre-sale was held on Thursday.

But fans were left shocked when they joined the queues online to see a message to flash up immediately, warning that there was "extremely limited availability across all ticket options".

Queues of over 200,000 formed online to try to get tickets for the 12 UK shows. The two gigs at Hull's Craven Park in August 2025 were confirmed to have sold out just after 9.40am on Friday.
