Coldplay is one of the most popular rock bands in the world, known for hit songs like “Yellow”, “The Scientist”, and “Viva La Vida”. The British group, fronted by lead singer Chris Martin, is currently embarking on their Music of the Spheres World Tour in support of their 2021 album of the same name. As part of the tour, Coldplay will be playing multiple concerts in Dublin, Ireland in spring 2023.
Coldplay Dublin Concert Dates
Coldplay will be performing 4 concerts at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on the following dates as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour:
- May 5, 2023
- May 6, 2023
- May 8, 2023
- May 9, 2023
Given Coldplay’s massive popularity globally, particularly in Europe, demand for tickets to these Dublin shows is expected to be extremely high. Aviva Stadium can hold approximately 51,700 fans for concerts.
Ticket Types and Prices
There are a few different ticket type options for Coldplay’s Dublin concerts:
- Standard admission standing tickets
- Reserved/assigned floor seating tickets
- Reserved stadium seating tickets
Standing tickets, also sometimes called “general admission”, allow fans access to the floor area in front of the stage without an assigned seat. Fans with standing tickets can get closest to the stage and the band.
According to Ticketmaster Ireland, official ticket seller for the Dublin shows, standing ticket prices will be:
Date | Standing Ticket Price |
---|---|
May 5, 2023 | €106 |
May 6, 2023 | €106 |
May 8, 2023 | €106 |
May 9, 2023 | €106 |
So standard admission standing tickets for any of Coldplay’s 4 upcoming Dublin concerts are currently priced at €106 (approx. $108 USD). Prices are the same for each show date.
Other Ticket Type Pricing
For comparison, here are the starting prices for other ticket type options according to Ticketmaster Ireland:
Ticket Type | Starting Price |
---|---|
Floor Seating | €156 |
Low Level Seating | €106 |
Middle Level Seating | €91 |
High Level Seating | €71 |
So standing tickets are among the more affordable options, albeit all Coldplay tickets are on the pricier side.
Expected High Demand
Given Coldplay’s immense popularity as one of the world’s best-selling music artists, demand for tickets to these Dublin shows is expected to be extremely high.
Coldplay’s previous concert in Dublin at Croke Park in July 2017 sold out very quickly. Their upcoming Aviva Stadium shows will be their first Ireland concerts in 6 years and some of only a handful of dates in Europe on the tour.
Ireland has long been one of the top markets for Coldplay as well. Singles like “Viva La Vida”, “Paradise”, “Adventure of a Lifetime” all topped the Irish charts over the years.
The band also has a strong connection to Ireland – lead singer Chris Martin’s great-great-grandfather was an Irish immigrant to England. He has spoken about feeling a special bond with Ireland and mentioned looking forward to these Dublin shows during a concert earlier on the tour.
Given the pent up demand after a long time since their last Irish show, these are expected to be extremely popular concerts. As such, tickets, including standing ones, will likely sell out very fast once they go on sale to the general public.
When Do Tickets Go On Sale?
Tickets for the general public go on sale Friday, February 3, 2023 at 10am GMT.
There are pre-sales in advance of that date for Coldplay fan club members and Spotify fans. Fan club presale runs Wednesday, February 1 at 10am GMT. Spotify presale is Thursday, February 2 at 10am GMT.
So to get access to tickets before the general on-sale and increase chances of getting standing tickets given the expected rush, signing up for these pre-sales options is recommended.
Best Ways to Get Tickets
Here are some tips and strategies for trying to get standing tickets for Coldplay’s Dublin shows when they go on sale given high demand:
Take Advantage of Pre-Sales
Sign up for Coldplay’s fan club mailing list at www.coldplay.com and/or follow the band on Spotify to get special pre-sale access before the general public on-sale.
Buy Early
Be ready on Ticketmaster right when 10am hits for the pre-sale and general on-sale dates. Have an account set up ahead of time. The earlier you can complete the ticket buying process, the better chance of getting standing tickets before they sell out.
Team Up
If you and any friends want to go to the show together, have each person try for tickets on different devices at the same time to increase your odds.
Be Flexible
Have a backup date in mind if your first choice sells out quickly and you’re willing to attend a different show. Going for a less popular midweek date like Tuesday or Wednesday can sometimes increase chances over weekends too.
Retry After Sell Outs
Often after the initial rush, more tickets can become available as processes time out or holders decline purchases. So keep checking back around the pre-sale and on-sale dates if tickets initially sell out.
Try Reseller Sites
If still unable to get tickets as the shows get closer, certified resale markets like StubHub may have standing tickets available at inflated prices.
Be Wary of Scams
With high demand shows like these, scams and invalid tickets unfortunately tend to rise. Use caution when considering purchasing from non-official ticket sites or resellers, especially for electronic tickets you can’t verify in advance.
Best to use only trusted vendors like Ticketmaster for initial sales and StubHub for reputable resales to avoid getting ripped off.
