Last-minute tickets
If Coldplay fans are still looking for last-minute tickets, believe it or not, there are some tickets still available, but with low availability and you’ll have to be quick to get them.
Tickets are available to purchase on the Wembley Stadium website as well as Ticketmaster UK. On the latter, you’ll have to register for a Ticketmaster account before joining the queue, with organisers then providing additional information.
Once it’s your turn in the queue, you can shop for tickets but as it’s so close to the show nights, the seats you may want will not be guaranteed and will be likely to go super fast.
Seating plan
With 90, 000 seats, Wembley Stadium is the largest venue in the UK and the second-largest stadium in Europe after Camp Nou, the home of FC Barcelona.
The seating plan has been set up into four sections, General Admission standing tickets In front of the stage, level one which is the inner circle, level two, which is the middle section and level five is the outer circle of the stadium.

Some of the seats are behind the stage and have an obscured view, but large screens will be situated around the venue where you can see the band perform their songs.
Travel warnings
Wembley Park Station, which runs on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, is 13 minutes walk away from the venue. Non-Londoners will be pleased to learn that National Express operates coaches from various UK towns and cities to and from the gig.
The TFL app has been suggested to concertgoers to download and check the route schedules before going because they might change. People are advised to avoid the area unless they have a ticket because of the road closures in place.
The RMT Union has scheduled a tube strike for September 7 and 8, which could have an impact on Coldplay’s final two shows there. Keep checking TFL’s website for more details as they are yet to disclose how disruptive these strikes will be and whether or not they will even go ahead.
