Good morning. A reminder that tickets for Coldplay’s two special gigs for Crisis go on sale today, Friday 12th Nov, at 2pm UK time. The shows will take place in Liverpool on 19th December and Newcastle on 20th December.

General tickets will be available from www.seetickets.com/hidden costing £50. You can also try to buy over the phone on 0871 230 0010 or, from outside the UK, on 0044 1159 934419 – but with so few tickets available, you’re likely to have a better chance of getting tickets via the website.

There is an allocation of general sale tickets available for Coldplay.com users to buy, using the code CP4CRISIS at the point of purchase. This allocation is available to all of Coldplay’s online fans, wherever in the world they live (we obviously expect these tickets to sell very quickly).

The rest of the general sale tickets will be sold to people living in and around Liverpool and Newcastle. Only those with a credit/debit card registered to billing addresses with the following postcodes will be able to buy these tickets:

Liverpool: L1 – L40, CH25 – CH32, CH41 – CH49, CH60 – CH63
Newcastle: NE1 – NE49, NE61 – NE71, SR1 – SR9, DH1 – DH9

NB: Tickets will not be posted out. All tickets will be collected on the night of the show from the venue and all customers will be asked to provide ID that match the details given at the time of booking.

As well as the general sale tickets, there will be an auction of 200 general admission tickets available to anyone around the world. Plus, 30 meet & greet tickets will be auctioned for each gig, which will include early entry, champagne reception, best seats in the house, meet & greet with Coldplay, photo opportunity & access to VIP bar. The auctions will run for one week from 12 November at 2pm, again via www.seetickets.com/hidden.

All proceeds from all tickets will go to support Crisis’ vital work for single homeless people. For more information on that, please head to their website.
