SINGAPORE — Coldplay fans who did not manage to get tickets for their A Head Full of Dreams Tour in Singapore can now breathe a sign of relief: A second concert has been announced for March 31, 7.30pm at the National Stadium. Additional tickets will also be released for the first show on April 1.

Tickets for the March 31 show and additional  CAT 5 (Standing Pen A) and CAT 6 (Standing Pen B) tickets for the April 1 show will go on sale to the public via all SportsHubTix channels on Friday (Nov 25) at 10am. There will be a limit of four tickets across all categories per transaction, said organiser Live Nation Lushington at 10am on Thursday on its Facebook page.

The final batch of tickets for the band’s April 1 gig at National Stadium were snapped up within less than two hours of going on sale at 10am on Monday. Pre-sale tickets offered to Citibank cardholders and Live Nation Lushington’s mailing list subscribers were also sold out within an hour. Live Nation Lushington previously told TODAY more than 40,000 tickets in total have been sold.

The concert’s huge popularity has led to some tickets being resold online at sky-high prices. On Carousel, a pair of Cat 1 tickets were selling for S$1,000 when the original price was S$268 for one. Some people offered to pay up to $800 for a pair of tickets. Live Nation Lushington said on Monday it would “continue to curtail the secondary tickets being sold at inflated prices”, and it has since voided a number of tickets found on the resale market. 

“We would like to urge all fans to refrain from purchasing tickets through unauthorised resellers as these may have already been voided and holders will be denied access to venue,” said the concert organiser on its Facebook page.
