Coldplay fans slam 'useless' Ticketmaster and complain platform sent them to the BACK of the queue after securing £20 Infinity tickets

As someone who has been in the music industry for decades and witnessed countless legal battles, I can’t help but feel a mix of empathy and intrigue towards Coldplay’s ongoing saga with their former manager, Dave Holmes. It seems like a never-ending rollercoaster ride of countersuits, accusations, and settlements.


Fans of Coldplay are upset and criticizing Ticketmaster, calling it “useless,” as they were unable to secure Infinity Tickets for the Music Of Spheres tour.

The musical group announced a contest where only a certain amount of double-ticket packages for a twenty-pound, dollar, or euro price, respectively, were available. The exact seating location within the venue wouldn’t be disclosed until the tickets were personally collected and claimed.

After purchasing tickets from Ticketmaster at noon on a Friday, eager fans discovered that adding their preferred seats to their online cart resulted in an error, causing them to be moved to the end of the waiting line.

Frustratingly, we were so close to securing Infinity Ticketmaster Coldplay tickets, only to be pushed back in line at the last minute – it’s just ridiculous how disappointing their service is. By 12:10, I had two tickets in my cart but couldn’t complete the purchase; they’d sold out. At this rate, we’ll never get to see them live.

Coldplay Infinity ticket issue: Why did I suddenly get sent back to the beginning of the queue after being so close to purchasing my tickets? Whatever happened to them?

coldplay’s website hints that the offer might get snapped up swiftly, as the demand is expected to exceed the available supply.

TopMob have contacted Ticketmaster and Coldplay’s reps for comment. 

In September, it was revealed that six new concerts in the United Kingdom would be happening the following summer, an extension of the Music of the Spheres World Tour, which has been breaking records.

The band, revealed they would be playing London’s Wembley Stadium and Craven Park Stadium in Hull.

The band will exclusively play concerts in select UK/European cities next year, with a tenth of the earnings going towards Music Venue Trust, an organization helping local music venues nationwide.

Mark Davyd, CEO of Music Venue Trust stated that Coldplay serves as an excellent illustration of a British band climbing up from the local music scene and eventually achieving global fame by filling stadiums.

It’s terrific to witness them rejoicing over their journey leading them to Wembley, by paying it forward to local music venues that nurtured them

By virtue of our collaboration with Save Our Scene, which facilitated our encounter with Coldplay last year, these funds will be channeled towards initiatives ensuring a consistent availability of top-notch live music in communities nationwide.

Supporting the band is crucial for keeping venues open, making tours possible, and spreading the delight of live music to countless individuals.

We’ve been talking about Coldplay potentially supporting their UK tours for several months, and we’re thrilled and thankful to finally announce it!

Reportedly, Coldplay is said to be shelling out a substantial amount, estimated to be in the millions, to their ex-manager, Dave Holmes, following his lawsuit against the band seeking £10 million.

In the year 2022, the band decided to go their separate ways from Dave, leading to a prolonged and intense court dispute.

2023 saw Dave asserting that he’s entitled to a £10 million commission payment that remains unpaid for the as-yet unreleased tenth and eleventh studio albums by Coldplay.

On the contrary, the band, headed by Chris Martin, filed a lawsuit against Holmes for 14 million pounds, asserting that he had mismanaged the budget for their Music of the Spheres tour, causing an overspend of approximately 17.5 million pounds.

According to documents from London’s High Court, which were acquired by The Sun, it was revealed that Coldplay reached a confidential, substantial settlement worth millions to keep private information from being disclosed during court proceedings.

According to the source, Chris and his band are content with having set a clear boundary, but this decision came with a significant financial toll. They’ve had to pay millions as part of the settlement, and all they really want now is to put it behind them and move forward.

After Dave left the band, his close friend Phil Harvey, who had been instrumental in funding their initial recordings and was considered an unofficial fifth member, took over leadership of their management team instead.

TopMob has contacted representatives for Coldplay for comment.

Last year, Coldplay’s legal dispute with their ex-manager experienced a significant shift as Dave alleged that the band fabricated stories about misfortunes and questionable ethical conduct.

Holmes conveyed to TopMob that he thought the British group, headed by Chris Martin, had realized they were facing difficulties, following their filing a counterclaim seeking £14 million.

In response to the criticism, a representative for Mr. Holmes stated to TopMob in October: ‘Coldplay is aware that they are facing issues with their defense.’

As a devoted follower, I’d like to clarify that falsely accusing Dave Holmes of unfounded ethical breaches or fabricated misconduct won’t divert the focus from the genuine matter. Coldplay entered into a contract with Dave, and it appears they are not fulfilling their obligations as stated in the agreement. They need to settle what they owe him honestly.

Coldplay believed that its tour suffered spiralling costs due to Mr Holmes.
