Coldplay presale

Has anyone signed up for the Coldplay presale? This is for the dates that they are playing next year in Wembley and Hull.

I think that we are supposed to get an email about it tomorrow

I'm looking up tips to make ticketmaster not see your a bot.

It says don't use a vpn. I don't.
It says don't use wife, make sure you're using data. I'm using data.

I can't see what I can do to make sure ticketmaster doesn't think I'm a bot. I guess it's luck.

I was looking online and I see loads of people on forums complaining that ticketmaster thought they were a bot.

I don't think that's necessarily a tip more common sense.

Got a tip on Insta to go for a mid week date and it seemed to have worked. Good luck everyone!

@TokyoSushi fingers crossed for you

I thought they’d do 10 dates. When the rumour for oasis was floating, someone online said 10 dates had been booked out for Wembley and it was rumoured to be Oasis but obviously it was Coldplay! I got oasis tickets after started off at 100,000 and odd in the queue so there’s ALWAYS hope. And like a PP said, if you do get to the front and it says no tickets available, hold on and keep trying as people abandon baskets etc, this is how I got Peter Kay, Oasis and Taylor tickets (Twice for Taylor!)

I'm now debatinf should I buy a ticket on viagogo for August. Theres loads on sale there for 230 pounds.

Or should I try on ticketmaster for September. I think I may find it very hard to go to a concert in September.

I’m in the waiting room for both new dates on presale at 2.30. I’m bloody so frustrated with this.

How are you managing to be in the waiting room for both dates? :)

Wow that's 10 Wembley dates now! Please shout up the second a September Saturday appears and I'll get in the queue!

I'm googling "how to stop ticketmaster thinking you're a bot"

None of the tips apply to me so far. They said if you use a VPN to turn it off. I've never used a VPN

I wonder why they are releasing new dates every couple of hours today.

It's strange

Right I'm going to try one more time.

I'm going to do it on my laptop and I'm going yo try to do as much as I can so it won't think I'm a bot.

Apparently clearing my cache beforehand , may help

On the Ticketmaster page for the Coldplay dates. Hope this link works https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/artist/806431?_sc=NDAxOTgxMSM3MjQ4ODQ%3D&utm_campaign=Coldplay+UK+Tour+Pre-Sale+-+250924&utm_id=1368&utm_medium=email&utm_source=brevo

Ugh, September is no good for us with travel & school! They could at least do a Saturday September - maybe they will!

Two more dates in September have now been added, Sunday 7th and Monday 8th, presale scheduled to start at 14.30. I only noticed because I went back to the Coldplay homepage on Ticketmaster

To be fair though if I got a Sunday I would let my kids stay off school on the Monday for it!

Ah can I bear the queue again.

So many things are out of my control.

What if they think I'm a bot again

Why are they doing so many midweek. It's a pain for people with kids in school who want to go & don't live local

Exactly!.
