Ticket prices top out at less than $200, below what the top-level superstar acts are currently charging at the high end - which is by design, Holmes says. “This ‘stadium on the weekends and arenas during the week’ model enables us to try to play to as much of our fan base as possible.” “We’ve always played a lot of markets in America, so we try to hit as many markets as we can,” Holmes tells Billboard. This not only keeps the crew busy and revenue flowing as Coldplay makes its way across America, but, more importantly, allows Coldplay to return to many markets where it has history, according to manager Dave Holmes. The stadium dates in America are Saturday night plays (except where second nights were added), and the arena dates are during the week.
