In case you’ve been living under a rock, Coldplay is set to grace the United Arab Emirates with their electrifying presence in January. The buzz surrounding Coldplay tickets has reached a fever pitch across the region, especially since these will be the legendary English band’s only confirmed tour dates in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Due to an overwhelming demand, a second show has been added, which is a testament to their immense popularity. With tickets going on sale today, we’ve gathered all the essential details to ensure you don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience.
Coldplay will perform three spectacular shows at Abu Dhabi’s impressive 45,000-seater Zayed Sports City Stadium on Saturday, January 11, Sunday, January 12, and Tuesday, January 14. Fans can expect a night filled with iconic tunes, breathtaking fireworks, and stunning laser displays. Ticket prices start at a very reasonable Dhs195, making it accessible for fans without needing to “rule the world” to secure a spot. For those eager to catch the action, pre-sale tickets will be available on Coldplay’s official website starting Wednesday, September 25.
How to Secure Your Coldplay Tickets
Coldplay concerts are renowned for their captivating music, spectacular pyrotechnics, and an abundance of positive vibes. To ensure you have a smooth ticket purchasing experience, it is crucial to sign up on Ticketmaster ahead of time to avoid delays or potential issues in the queue.
To keep the purchasing process fair, there is a limit of four tickets per person and per credit card. Orders that exceed this limit with the same name, email address, billing address, or credit card may be subject to cancellation. Here’s the breakdown of ticket sales:
- On Wednesday, September 25, at noon Gulf Standard Time, pre-sale tickets will go live on Coldplay’s website.
- The following day, Thursday, September 26, pre-sale tickets will be available via ticket seller Live Nation Middle East, also starting at noon.
- Finally, on Friday, September 27, general ticket sales will begin at noon, but be quick—these tickets are expected to sell out rapidly!
For this event, tickets will be mobile-only, accessible exclusively through your Ticketmaster account 72 hours before the show. Be aware that printing or receiving tickets via email will not be an option, so ensure you have the Ticketmaster app ready for the big day.

Remember, pre-sale access does not guarantee a ticket, so act quickly when sales commence on Friday.
