Queues with … 450 thousand people online
Ticketline CEO Ana Ribeiro told Lusa that the demand for tickets for Coldplay concerts in Portugal has reached an unprecedented historical level in the country. “It is unprecedented in Portugal, there has never been such a great demand for an event in Portugal!” Anna Ribeiro, in a short message sent to Lusa, after being asked if there has been a similar demand in previous cases, wrote.
Before 10:00 a.m. this Thursday, when tickets sold out for Coldplay’s May 17, 2023 concert at the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra, there were already queues online and in physical stores.
After 12:00 PM on Ticketline there are more than 450,000 passwords to buy a ticket for British Concerts.
The FNAC ticket platform was unavailable, after several attempts to access it by Lusa, and See Tickets, the promoter’s site introducing everything new, in response to “too heavy” traffic, which put users in a queue.
The band’s tour features a range of sustainability initiatives. “The show’s production uses 100% renewable energy in nearly all locations, and it brings with it the world’s first ‘tour’ generator system, made from 40 BMW electric car batteries; motorized bikes and kinetic dance floors, which allow fans to be a part of the show, And create energy through them, solar panels and wind turbines in every view […]. A tree is planted for every ticket sold.
The rock band created a sustainability website, where information about these initiatives is available.
Created in January 1998, in London, Coldplay signed their first record deal a year later, when it was already opening to bands like Catatonia and broadcasting on BBC Radio 1.
The band released their debut album, “Umbrellas”, in 2000, the year they made their debut self-titled tour, only in the UK, where they sold out all the dates.
Since then, they have released eight more studio albums and toured Portugal several times, from the Paredes de Coura Festival in 2000 to 2012, at Estádio do Dragão, in Porto.
