“can’t even get in the queue”
However, after pre sale tickets for these shows went up on sale this morning, fans quickly vented their anger at being unable to get into the online queue to access tickets.

A spokesperson for Ticketmaster released this statement.
“Everything is in working order, and tickets are selling as normal”, they said. “As per our advice on social media, fans should clear their cache/cookies and ensure they aren’t using any VPN software on their device/WiFi”.
“Alternatively, they can use a different browser/device or use mobile data instead of WiFi”.
This saga becomes the latest in a long line of fiascos faced by Ticketmaster when it comes to tour tickets.
The Cure frontman Robert Smith also recently described their ticket policy as a “bit of a scam”.
Along with Coldplay, music fans also experienced difficulty trying to buy tickets for Taylor Swift’s shows at the Aviva Stadium, with many people also struggling to access the online queue.
