Coldplay's Unmatched Demand in Hong Kong

Coldplay's upcoming concerts in Hong Kong are part of their Asian tour, which includes performances in Abu Dhabi and Mumbai. The sale began with a rush, showcasing the band's immense popularity.

Record-breaking Ticket Sales

  • Tickets sold out in 90 minutes.
  • £HK6,599 tickets were among the first to go.
  • Fans faced limited options as items quickly indicated 'no ticket available.'

With a total of three shows scheduled for April 9, 11, and 12, tickets for standing areas were sold at HK$1,399, while various price categories also saw swift sales. Packages for concert tickets with hotel stays via Klook were sold out almost immediately.

The Impact of Scalpers

Ticket scalpers took advantage of the situation, listing tickets at inflated prices on various platforms. Carousell has implemented measures against such listings, as the band has built a profound connection with fans through their music over the years.

The Venue's Significance

These concerts will take place at Kai Tak Sports Park, a venue that marks a new era for large-scale concerts, set to open its main stadium in March 2025.
