More tickets for Coldplay’s 2025 Hull shows go on sale this week

More tickets for Coldplay’s upcoming 2025 shows in Hull have gone on sale this week – and they will be priced affordably via their ‘Infinity Tickets’ scheme.

In September, the band revealed that ticket options for their two-day engagement at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium include a limited set of ‘Infinity Tickets’, priced at £20 each. ticket, but limited to two per buyer – and they must be bought in pairs.

Now as of Hull Daily Mailthe band is releasing another batch of ‘Infinity Tickets’ this Friday (November 22) at 12pm UK time via Ticketmaster. There is no indication if this batch will be the last ‘Infinity Tickets’ available to Hull fans, nor have the band hinted at any other potential future ticket sales opportunities.

10 per cent of the band’s proceeds from the shows will also be donated to the Music Venue Trust – which helps keep UK grassroots music venues open and fights for the survival and development of up-and-coming artists. It is an example of a fare tax, also recently practiced by Enter Shikari and Sam Fender, which has since been supported by the UK government.

“The sheer number of venues in our communities being forced to close shop each week has hammered home the stark reality of the struggles faced by artists, promoters and others working in grassroots music,” said committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage MP in a letter to Secretary of State Lisa Nandy. “There are warnings of an even bleaker future.”

“Although the government has stepped up the message that swift action is needed on a levy from the major players who pack out arenas and stadiums, the lack of a firm deadline for movement risks letting things slip.”

This was told by Music Venue Trust CEO Mark Davyd NME that while there was “a huge amount to celebrate in the work of this committee” and the government’s response to it, Dinenage’s insistence on a timetable for change was imperative.

“As a result of this inquiry, we can now see a clear date in the future when our grassroots music community is properly respected for its cultural, social and economic value and impact,” Davyd added.

“There are big positive changes coming for the live music ecosystem, whether it’s through the grassroots contribution, the review of corporate interest or the opportunities brought about by a new approach to investment and ownership by government.”

In an interview with NMEColdplay’s Chris Martin said he put his toll charge plan into action when he became aware of the situation late last year.

“I didn’t think there was a problem because I didn’t think about it,” he said. It was around COVID that you started hearing about this or that place closing. I thought, ‘Oh, we played all those places, Oasis played all those places – they’re important’.”

Yesterday (November 19), Coldplay released the video for their song ‘The Karate Kid’, which features the star of the 1980s film of the same name, Ralph Macchio.
