A spokesman for MCD said there is currently no second date planned, despite the band announcing second dates in Brussels, Gothenburg, Cariff and Paris this morning.

Tickets for the concert however are available on Seatwave, a website owned by Ticketmaster, which allows third parties to sell their tickets on the site.

Tickets are being sold on Seatwave for prices ranging from €350.00 for a standing ticket, up to €695 for one ticket on the Hogan Stand’s lower tier.

“Seatwave is a safe marketplace for the resale of tickets,” Ticketmaster said previously in a statement.

“If a purchaser of concert tickets decides to sell all or some of their tickets they can do so on Seatwave – they set the asking price, not Ticketmaster.”

The tickets being sold directly by Ticketmaster earlier this morning ranged in price from €69.50 - €144.

Eager fans braved the chilly autumn temperatures on Thursday to queue through the night in anticipation of the release of tickets for the show on July 8th, 2017, as part of the A Head Full of Dreams Tour.

In Dublin, fans wrapped up in hats and scarves camped outside Ticketmaster outlets throughout the night, determined to claim one of the tickets for the Coldplay concert in Croke Park.

Coldplay last played in Ireland at Oxegen in 2011 and released their sixth studio album, A Head Full of Dreams , in December 2015.
