Coldplay announces extra shows in Sydney and Melbourne: this is how you can get tickets
Coldplay have announced additional concert dates for their upcoming Australian tour.
On Wednesday, the British band announced they will play additional shows in Sydney and Melbourne in response to overwhelming demand during Wednesday’s pre-sale.
This decision makes the fourth concert the last in Melbourne for this tour.
The excitement doesn’t stop in Melbourne as Coldplay will also captivate audiences in Sydney, with performances scheduled for Wednesday, November 6 and 7 at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.
The band then moves to New Zealand, with a headline show at Auckland’s Eden Park on Wednesday 13 November and an additional show on Friday 15 November, again due to overwhelming demand.

On Wednesday, the British band announced they will play additional shows in Sydney and Melbourne in response to overwhelming demand during Wednesday’s pre-sale.
It comes after fans were left baffled while trying to book in for tickets to the band’s shows in Sydney and Melbourne on their upcoming tour.
Many have received emails confirming that they have been granted access to tickets in a different state than the one they signed up for.
‘I only applied for Coldplay in Sydney but got Melbourne. I also booked a hotel for Sydney,” one person told X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday.
A second question: ‘Did anyone else who signed up for the Sydney Coldplay pre-sale get confirmation from Melbourne instead?’
‘I, like many others, signed up for the pre-sale in Sydney, but received an email for the Melbourne dates. Can you confirm if this is an error/glitch and can we receive the correct pre-sale codes?’ a third asked Ticketek.
