Coldplay to offer tickets through auction site
Indo-Asian News Service
London, Nov 22 (IANS) British rockers Coldplay have set up an Internet auction site to make available tickets of their performances to their fans.
The band was frustrated that many fans could not get tickets due to corrupt auction websites during their recent US tour, said contactmusic.com. In response to this, the band is auctioning tickets on a secure site and donating a part of the proceeds to charity.
A statement on the band's official website says: "Whenever we put our tickets up for sale, an enormous amount of them end up being sold on. We have given a small number of tickets for the next North American tour to Ticketmaster to auction through a legitimate auction site that they have set up just for Coldplay of which a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity.
"This is part of our on-going plan to make sure tickets get into real fans' hands and to stop scalpers making money and making fans miserable."
