Coldplay: how to get tickets for Dublin Croke Park tour date, how much are they - and is there presale?

Coldplay tickets have officially dropped on Ticketmaster, with Irish fans scrambling to get their hands on a pair.

Earlier this week the band revealed they will be playing two extra performances in Dublin’s Croke Park as part of their 2024 Music of the Spheres world tour. They announced they would be playing shows across Europe, including Dublin on social media on July 20. The concerts are lined up for Croke Park, in what will be the band’s first Irish performance since 2017 - but how long could they last?

Due to popular demand for presale tickets, the band revealed they would be performing two extra shows in the Irish capital, meaning fans have their chance to get their hands on tickets for four performances. So, what happened with presale, when do the general tickets go on sale and how can you get your hands on a pair? Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Coldplay playing in Dublin?

Coldplay will now be playing four shows in Dublin’s Croke Park Stadium on Thursday 29 August, Friday 30 August, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 September, 2024.

The concerts which are part of their Music of the Spheres world tour will see the band perform in the Irish capital for the first time since 2017. The band announced the additional tour dates in a post on social media on Tuesday (July 25), citing the “huge demand” for presale tickets as the reason.

When do Coldplay tickets go on sale?

Tickets for Coldplay’s Dublin shows go on sale on Friday July 28 at 10am on Ticketmaster. Demand is expected to be high, fans are advised to join the “waiting room” from 9.30am and once tickets officially go on sale they will be placed in a queue. As of 10.06am, Ticketmaster were advising fans that “ticket availability is limited and options may vary throughout the venue.”

What happened with presale?

Presale tickets for Coldplay went on sale on Tuesday July 25 at 10am on Ticketmaster, however much to fans’ frustration there were reports on social media that the website had crashed.

Reported by the Irish Examiner, an error message appeared just before presale tickets went live at 10am. Once the error was fixed, fans reported up to 80,000 hopefuls in the queue, with Ticketmaster reporting at 10.46am that presale tickets were now “extremely limited”. To qualify for presale tickets fans had to register on Coldplay’s website, those who were successful received a unique presale code and link which enabled them to purchase tickets.
