More tickets for Coldplay‘s upcoming 2025 shows in Hull are set to go on sale this week – and they will be priced affordably via their ‘Infinity Tickets’ scheme.

In September, the band revealed that ticket options for their two-day engagement at Hull’s Craven Park Stadium include a limited set of ‘Infinity Tickets’, which are priced at £20 per ticket but limited to two per purchaser – and they must be bought in pairs.

Now, per Hull Daily Mail, the band will release another batch of ‘Infinity Tickets’ this Friday (November 22) at 12pm UK time via Ticketmaster. There is no indication if this batch will be the last ‘Infinity Tickets’ available to Hull fans, neither have the band hinted at other potential future ticket sale opportunities.

10 per cent of the band’s proceeds from the shows will also be donated to the Music Venue Trust – helping to keep UK grassroots music venues open and fighting for the survival and development of upcoming artists. It’s an example of a ticket levy also recently practised by Enter Shikari and Sam Fender, which has since been backed by the UK government.

“The sheer number of venues in our local communities being forced to shut up shop each week has hammered home the stark reality of the struggles facing artists, promoters and others working in grassroots music,” said Committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage MP in a letter to the Secretary of State Lisa Nandy. “There are warnings of an even gloomier future.”

“While the Government has dialled up the volume on the message that swift action on a levy is needed from the bigger players who pack out arenas and stadiums, the lack of a firm deadline for movement risks allowing matters to drift.”

Music Venue Trust CEO Mark Davyd told NME that while there was “a huge amount to celebrate in the work of this committee” and the government response to it, Dinenage’s insistence on a timetable for change was imperative.

“As a result of this inquiry, we can now see a clear date in the future when our grassroots music community is properly respected for its cultural, social and economic value and impact,” Davyd added.

“Major positive change is coming for the live music ecosystem, whether that’s through the grassroots contribution, the business rate review, or the opportunities arising from a new approach to investment and ownership from government.”

In an interview with NME, Coldplay’s Chris Martin said that he put his ticket levy plan into action when he became aware of the situation at the tail-end of last year.

“I didn’t think there was an issue because I didn’t think about it,” he said. It was around COVID that you started to hear about this or that venue having to close. I thought, ‘Oh, we played all those venues, Oasis played all those venues – these are important’.”

Yesterday (November 19), Coldplay released the video for their song ‘The Karate Kid’, which features the star of the 1980s film of the same name, Ralph Macchio.
