THIS MORNING, TICKETS for Coldplay’s concert in Croke Park went on sale.
The band, who will play next July, haven’t performed in Ireland since 2011 so demand for the tickets was high.
Coldplay fans all over Ireland were on Ticketmaster at 9am ready to pounce.

And they were greeted with this dreaded notice
The stress was mighty
Stress level: nervous poo before doing Maths Paper 1.
So many battles against robots were waged
The queues were an absolute state
A 47 minute wait, you say? Terrific. Not like I have anything else to do on a Friday morning.
At the end of it, some fans got lucky and secured a ticket
Over 80,000 people did, to be exact.
Whoops!

At least those who didn’t get tickets were reassured that their “click all the photos that have a shop front” skills were on point…
That’s a small consolation, right?
In short? Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a second date.
Do it, Chris. For the 80,000 other people who want to drunkenly sing Fix You with you.
