Coldplay Sold Out

Coldplay fans snapped up all the tickets for their concert at the Ricoh Arena next year in just 90 minutes.

Queues started at the box office at the venue at 5am today (Friday) ahead of the tickets going on sale at 9am with the hardy souls being served bacon rolls and coffee by Ricoh staff.

The only tickets left now are for hospitality after all 40,000 tickets for general admission for seating and standing have been sold via the box office and official websites for the show which is the first on Coldplay’s 2012 UK summer stadium tour on Tuesday, May 29.

Liz Cooper, marketing director at the Ricoh Arena, said she was thrilled Coldplay were going to be performing in front of a sell-out crowd in Coventry.

“We always expected demand to be high since they are one of the best bands in the world,” she said.

“Our telephone lines have also been busy with enquiries for hospitality since this remains the only opportunity now available to see Coldplay in the city.

“To have sold so many tickets within such a short space of time underlines their popularity and I am sure there are a great many fans who can’t wait to see the band perform in Coventry.”

Gold, silver and platinum hospitality packages remain available, starting from £140 plus VAT per person.
