Coldplay, led by Chris Martin, took the stage on Sunday night for one of the most watched musical events of the year, the Super Bowl 50 Halftime show, and they were joined by recent halftime show performers Bruno Mars and Beyonce, who also took the stage in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The British band followed in the footsteps of recent performers like Katy Perry, Bruce Springsteen and Prince. Coldplay's primetime television slot is boosting demand for their own headlining tour run, A Head Full of Dreams, which will kick off in Latin America in March. The tour will return the states in July, where it will make ten stops in major U.S. cities. Tickets for Coldplay officially went on sale this morning and have hit the resale market in huge numbers with a high price.

Just days ago, tickets to see Coldplay are averaging $285 for the U.S. dates. The biggest demand so far is for the band's August 27 stop at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where tickets are already averaging $407 with the cheapest ticket priced at $73. Conversely, Coldplay is on track to play their most affordable performance on August 21 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, where an average ticket is about half the price of their most expensive show, clocking in at $216, with the cheapest ticket priced at $63, according to data provided by ticket aggregator, TiqIQ.
Although the high price points are certainly expensive, the band's solo shows pale in comparison to a ticket to the Super Bowl. A ticket for the big game on Sunday went for an average of $4,716, with the cheapest ticket available for $2,484. Coldplay's Super Bowl stop wasn't their final show in San Francisco, as they've scheduled a stop at Levi's Stadium on on September 3, which is also the show that will conclude the tour run. Tickets for that show are averaging $293, but the cheapest ticket can be purchased for just $53. For fans looking to see the band's final date in San Francisco, cheap flights can be found on Hipmunk.com, as well as affordable hotels around the venue, where hotels start for as low as $111 per night.
Coldplay's tour will amass huge demand for a few reasons, and their Super Bowl presence may be the largest factor. Additionally, the band has teased the possibility that this final trek across the globe could be their last hurrah on the road, meaning diehard fans will pay larger ticket prices to get their final live viewing of the 20-year-old group.
