Keep calm, there’s still a chance to snap up a ticket…

This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions for Coldplay fans. Many stood in virtual queues for hours on end only to end up with zero tickets (not just once, but twice in a row). But chin up fans, there’s still a chance as general tickets go on sale today on Friday, September 27, 2024.

The sale begins at 12pm, so set those alarms, ensure you’re on a strong WiFi connection and have your credit card ready. Don’t forget to have your emotional support Coldplay mates on speed dial – you’ll need them to share the news (hopefully, good news). And remember fans, there is a limit of four tickets per person and per credit card.

If you aren’t one of the few people on the Coldplay ticket hunt, here’s why people are going Yellow over not getting tickets.

Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour was one of the biggest music movements of the summer. So naturally, when the legendary English rock band announced they would headline a mega show in the UAE, it wasn’t just the residents that got excited, it was fans from across the GCC and even die-hard fans in India.

Ticket sales for the concert which was initially only on Saturday, January 11, 2025, compelled the band and organisers to announce a second show which was met with further demand, resulting in a third show being announced within a timespan of a couple of hours.

When the tour lands in Abu Dhabi, fans can expect to hear some of the biggest tracks from their ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres, including We Pray and Feels Like I’m Falling In Love. But those who’ve been listening to Chris Martin and co since the beginning of their musical journey can also look forward to belting out some of the biggest anthems from their backlog of mega hits, including Yellow, The Scientist, Clocks, Fix You, Viva La Vida, Paradise, A Sky Full Of Stars, and Adventure Of A Lifetime.

Those that have caught the show elsewhere around the world – or seen videos from the incredible set – will know to expect lasers, fireworks and incredible LED experiences that will make this one of the most memorable concerts the UAE has ever seen.

Since kicking off in March 2022, the Music Of The Spheres World Tour has travelled Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and Australasia, selling over 10 million tickets globally and making it the most attended tour by a group in history.
