Coldplay to break Taylor Swift’s Wembley Stadium record

Pre-sale tickets for Coldplay’s 2025 tour went on sale on Thursday morning for fans who had placed advance orders for Moon Music.

According to social media messages, the first tranche of dates sold out in about 20 minutes.

One fan reported a message on the Ticketmaster website flashing up at 09:22, stating: “UPDATE: There are currently no available tickets in this pre-sale.”

Recognising the demand, Coldplay added four extra dates at Wembley, with pre-sales starting at 2:30pm BST.

The 10-date residency means Coldplay will become the act to have played the most nights at the world-famous stadium in a single year.

Taylor Swift and Take That were previously tied for the record, playing eight nights apiece.

Coldplay previously played six nights at Wembley during the 2022 leg of their world tour – which means that, in total, their tour will have doubled the previous record.

The band have made efforts to reduce the environmental impact of their concerts – and announced earlier this year that they had achieved a 59% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared with their previous world tour.

They also made efforts to combat rising ticket prices by offering £20 “Infinity tickets” for every show.

They are sold in pairs and can be placed anywhere in the venue – including the very best seats.

For the Wembley dates, a pair of tickets will cost around £52, once fees – including the stadium’s £2.75 sustainability fee – are added.
