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

Sat 30th which is of course one of the busiest days so not ideal but the only option for us

Oddly it is only the Saturday which doesn't say Limited Availability on the main Ticketmaster page!

hby9628 · 27/09/2024 11:12

I'm still on the Ticketmaster queue but I'm not holding out much hope to be honest. X

Ok… update on 7th September. I kept refreshing each tier and finally 2 standing tickets came up and I managed to get those. Didn’t want to stand but better than nothing. So my advice is to keep refreshing in case anyone abandons tickets they’ve reserved…

How do you refresh each tier

Out of my meeting, block 230 (which looks to have a side (almost back of 🫣) stage view, row 16, doesn't look brilliant, and was £££££, but WE'RE GOING!!!!

hby9628 · 27/09/2024 11:26

@TokyoSushi look on view from my seat website. It will give you an indication of your view

livealittlemore · 27/09/2024 11:26

@hby9628 there's a separate link for different experience tickets. Queue is for the general seating / standing tickets I think. I have attached the screenshots. The 1st is the one that has / had the queue. But if you keep scrolling down, you'll see the other ticket options (pic 2) and these didn't have a queue when i booked earlier.

I managed to get two yesterday at around 1.30 for September. Queue went from 13,000 down to one in about 1/2 hour ! I was originally queuing for August but decided to come out and try again.

TokyoSushi · 27/09/2024 11:33

Thanks @hby9628 View looks ace!

FoneyMoney · 27/09/2024 11:35

I’ve just this second managed to get 3 standing at Wembley!! Been in the queue since 9, finally got through and it said no tickets but refreshed and 3 popped up. Feel bad as needed 4 with my dad but I don’t think he’d want to stand but I’ll keep trying. So hold on, I’ve been on the queue since 9 and it moved so slowly

unusualcolours · 27/09/2024 11:36

Been in the queue for 22nd since 9, started at 25,000, finally got to the front and it told me to get ready to go the shop and it kicked me out. Said my place wasn't valid anymore, no other tabs open or anything. Gutted.

FoneyMoney · 27/09/2024 11:43

I’ve literally just noticed 14 and unders aren’t allowed on the pitch 🙈 ds will be almost 13 and is very tall for his age. Does anyone know how strict they are on this?

TokyoSushi · 27/09/2024 11:46

Right, I am actually presenting at a Board meeting at 12, so far this morning I have, been to get my nails done, talked absolute nonsense to my colleague on Teams, talked absolute nonsense on this thread (for 2 days) about this queue, looked up the view from my seat...

Focus Tokyo, FOCUS!!!!

hby9628 · 27/09/2024 11:48

Well done @FoneyMoney
I've just had a message that all tickets have gone for the date I want
In addition...with being so distracted I notice the freezer door has been left open & I can't shut it due to so much ice so am now starting an emergency freezer defrost 🤣

FamilyAreEverything · 27/09/2024 11:48

Just received the dreaded message that there’s nothing left for 27th 😢

Excited101 · 27/09/2024 11:59

I managed to get 2 for the 27th! Right at the top of my budget (£250 each! 😟) but I’m thrilled to have got them! It was worth the lack of sleep with a newborn (for the second morning in a row…)

OztoLdn · 27/09/2024 11:59

I tried AXS with no luck, keeps getting me no where. I'm 45,000 in the queue on Ticketmaster, started at 75,000. Is there another option?

OztoLdn · 27/09/2024 12:03

Does anyone know if I can get in the queue for several dates on ticket master? I don't want to rick getting kicked out of my current queue.

FoneyMoney · 27/09/2024 12:25

@OztoLdn no unfortunately one queue at a time, if you try to open different tabs it’ll say you’re a bot and kick you out

I’m sorry I didn’t reply… I had to go out. It had all the different types of tickets listed and I clicked through each type looking for availability. It kept saying nothing available and then I did it again on the standing tickets and suddenly 2 became available. Someone must’ve had them in their basket and then released them instead of checking them out. I appreciate this is all too late now. I guess it might help someone in the future for a different gig. Thanks for the thread and sharing of experiences everyone. It made the pain more bearable sharing it :)

Abbylikeswine · 27/09/2024 17:19

I never want to buy tickets for a show ever again! I honestly felt ill from the stress.

I got into ticketmaster today, but it would let me put tickets in my basket, and then when I clicked to buy them, it said "these tickets are no longer available".

So it looked like tickets were available, but they were actually gone.

So I had to keep clicking and refreshing.

I didn't get one today. I was trying to get one for August.

I panic bought one yesterday for a September date, as it was all that was left, but I'm unsure if I'll be able to go in September.

I would definitely have been able to go to the date that I wanted in August.

Well done everyone on surviving two days of stress!

The people that were queueing this morning, did you get tickets in the end?

OneWildNightWithJBJ · 27/09/2024 17:30

Hope you’ll be able to go in Sept OP.

DH tried yesterday but no luck. Tried again today and got tickets for the Wed at Wembley. £53 but restricted view. Doesn’t look terrible from what I can see though. At least DC will be happy, especially DD after not getting TS or Sabrina tickets.

Luckily we live close enough to go after school/work.

Yes, got two tickets.
Joined the queue at 9am bought the tickets at 1pm.

youheard · 27/09/2024 17:44

when are people allowed to post resales on Twickets? I also ended up with a restricted view seat but TBH, you can never see that much of these concerts anyway wherever you’re seated – it’s all on the big screens, it’s about the sounds (obviously) and the atmosphere.

Patienceinshortsupply · 27/09/2024 17:53

Twickets is best close to the dates, and there are going to be alot of people whose plans are going to change in a year. Genuine fans will sell on there, there were loads for Taylor Swift in the days before her Wembley concerts but you had to be quick! We got ones for Springsteen about 3 days before, the only bugger was trying to get parking at that short notice.
