Are you a die-hard Coldplay fan eagerly awaiting the chance to grab tickets for the “Music Of The Spheres” World Tour? If you’re in South Korea, the time has come to prepare for the Live Nation Members Presale. In this guide, I’ll walk you through each step to ensure you’re fully equipped to secure your spot for the presale on September 25, 2024, at 12:00 PM KST.

1. Registering with Live Nation Korea: The First Step

Before you can access the presale, you need to be registered as an eligible Live Nation member. Here’s how you do it:

a) Sign Up at Live Nation Korea

Start by creating your account on the Live Nation Korea website. It’s straightforward just enter your details, and you’re one step closer to snagging those tickets.

b) Activate Your Account

After registering, Live Nation will send you an activation email. Make sure you check your inbox (and the spam folder just in case) and click on the link provided to activate your account. This is a crucial step if you skip it, your account won’t be eligible for the presale.

c) Subscribe to the Live Nation Korea Newsletter

Once your account is activated, head over to your subscription preferences on Live Nation’s website. You’ll need to subscribe to the Live Nation Korea Newsletter and save your preferences. This not only keeps you in the loop about upcoming concerts and presales but also makes sure you’re officially on the list for the Coldplay presale.

2. Navigating the Live Nation Website to Purchase Tickets

Now that your account is set up and subscribed to the newsletter, it’s time to get ready for presale day.

a) Accessing the Presale Link

On the day of the presale, make sure you log in to your Live Nation Korea account well ahead of time. Navigate to Concerts & Events on the main page, and find the Coldplay event under Live Nation Presale. You’ll see a button that will lead you to the presale booking page.

This button will appear 5 to 10 minutes before the presale begins, so be sure to refresh the page regularly as the clock ticks down to noon. This exclusive link will only be accessible through the presale page it won’t be available through any other routes.

3. Mark Your Calendar: Key Dates to Remember

4. Getting to the Venue: Goyang Stadium

For those of you planning to attend the Seoul show, Goyang Stadium is your destination. Goyang is a satellite city located to the west of Seoul, making it easily accessible via public transportation. If you’re taking the subway, hop on Line 3 and get off at Daehwa Station. From there, the venue is just a short walk away, so you won’t have to worry about complicated directions.

5. Common Troubleshooting and FAQs

Ticket presales can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, especially with a high-demand event like Coldplay’s world tour. Here are a few common issues and tips to help you navigate the process smoothly.

a) Not Seeing Available Seats?

If you’re in the queue and can’t seem to select seats, don’t panic. When you select a date and price, available seats should be highlighted. However, they may sometimes appear in a certain colour, so make sure to keep an eye out for those small details. If you only see one pink-highlighted seat, it could mean that most seats are already taken, so act quickly!

b) International Fans: Can You Buy Tickets?

If you’re a foreigner looking to buy tickets, you might be wondering if you can use the English-language site. While the presale link may direct you to the Korean version of InterPark, you can search for the event on the global InterPark site. It’s highly recommended to complete your KYC verification with your passport beforehand to avoid any last-minute issues. Be aware that some presale events might be limited to Korean nationals, but general sales will be open for everyone.

c) Having Issues with KYC Verification?

Some users have reported delays with the KYC process during ticket purchase. To speed things up, ensure there’s no glare when scanning your passport, and don’t hold the passport in your hand. A simple trick is to place the passport flat on a table and scan it that way, as the camera is quite sensitive.

6. Ticket Resale Policies: Beware of Scalpers

Planning on reselling your tickets at a higher price? Think again. At the venue, officials will ask for ID to confirm that the ticket matches the name of the purchaser. This is done to prevent scalping and ensure that fans who genuinely want to attend the concert are able to do so. So if you’re buying a ticket, make sure it’s from a legitimate source to avoid any disappointments at the gate.

7. Coldplay’s Return to South Korea: A Dream Come True for Fans

For South Korean fans, the news of Coldplay’s return has been a long time coming. As one fan put it, “My dream has finally come true!” It’s been years since Coldplay last performed here, and the excitement is palpable. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a new listener, this concert promises to be an unforgettable experience.

If you’ve never been to Goyang Stadium, don’t worry. Fellow fans are more than willing to help out, offering tips and advice in the comments sections of ticketing platforms and fan sites. There’s a real sense of community among Coldplay fans, and this event will only strengthen that bond.
