Brave move’ say Coldplay fans as band announce bargain ticket prices for 2025 tour

COLDPLAY has made a bold move as they announced bargain ticket prices for their 2025 tour.

The band, fronted by Chris Martin, has revealed that tickets for their 2025 tour will be available for as little as £20.

The Fix You hitmakers have extended their Music Of The Spheres World Tour with an additional six dates added to the calendar for next summer.

These shows will take place at London’s Wembley Stadium and Craven Park Stadium in Hull.

And fans can bag themselves a ticket a limited ticket for just £20.

Coldplay released a statement earlier today, which read: “A limited number of Infinity Tickets are released for every Coldplay show to give fans the chance to attend the Music Of The Spheres World Tour at a super low price.

“They cost the equivalent of £20 / $20 / €20 per ticket and must be brought in pairs.

“Infinity Tickets are randomly allocated anywhere in the venue – from the back row to the floor to the best seat in the house.”

Half of the tickets for the Hull shows will got to local fans with a with HU, YO, DN or LN postcode.

And 10 per cent of the proceeds will be donated to Music Venue Trust in support of grassroots venues across the country. 

Tickets are available to purchase on Ticketmaster on September 26 at 6pm.

Coldplay fans have praised them for reducing ticket prices following the backlash Oasis faced last month – and for prioritising local fans.

One wrote: “Coldplay doing a limited run of £20 tickets for their upcoming UK shows just proves that bands have a choice to make their gigs more affordable.”

A second posted: “Gotta say that is fantastic – 10% of proceeds is gonna make a huge difference to grass roots.

“Brave to Coldplay team and all involved.”

A third shared: “This is amazing news and the start of something big. All thanks to the tireless campaigning and a lot of shouting by @markdavyd & @musicvenue trust. Well done.”

“As usual, this band lead the way! See you at Wembley (hopefully!),” this fan commented.

Another added: “Wouldn’t normally mention things l like this but bravo to Coldplay chaps – supporting the @musicvenue trust with a significant slice of ticket revenue. Will make a huge difference to our scene.”

It comes after insiders told The Sun that the group, who had hit Hymn For The Weekend with Beyonce, has planned on playing a residency at a football stadium here rather than hitting the road on a traditional tour.

The move would also support Coldplay’s pledge to reduce their carbon footprint, an issue close to frontman Chris Martin’s heart.

A source said: “Coldplay want to do something super special for Moon Music and they have discussed the idea of doing a set residency rather than touring across the UK.

“Wembley has been mooted as a possible location which would work for a ten-date residency, for example.

“It means they would be able to play to almost a million fans, all while keeping down their carbon footprint.

“On their last tour the band went all out to try to reduce the impact of their work on the environment.

“By keeping the shows in one place they are removing the need for HGVs to drive the stages and kit across the country, for example.

“Plus seeing acts like Adele setting up shop in one place has given them real food for thought.

For their ongoing Music Of Spheres world tour, which began in 2022, Coldplay put together a 12-point plan to try to cut their emissions.

The move was a huge success and last month the band, also including Will Champion, Guy Berryman and Jonny Buckland, revealed that in the first two years of the tour they saw a 59 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to their global run of gigs in 2016-2017.

To help them reach the goal they reduced air travel, used more efficient lighting and pulled in sustainable materials for their stages.

They also created really cool kinetic dancefloors, which meant that fans could help generate electricity for the show as they jumped up and down.

Their new album is also going to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

Each vinyl copy of the record will be pressed on to discs made from plastic bottles.

And a special “notebook” edition is made up from 70 per cent of plastic recovered from the Rio Las Vacas river in Guatemala.

Chris and Co said this would enable them to reduce their carbon emissions by 85 per cent and stop the production of 25 tonnes of virgin plastic.

After revealing they had beaten their targets with their Music Of Spheres tour, they said: “As a band, and as an industry, we’re a long way from where we need to be on this.

“But we’re grateful for everyone’s help so far and we salute everyone who’s making efforts to push things in the right direction.”
