Tickets to see Coldplay at Croke Park next August sold out in less than an hour on Friday morning, Ticketmaster has confirmed.
The general sale for the British band's four 2024 dates in Dublin kicked off at 10am on Friday, following earlier presales on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
But just 55 minutes into Friday's main sale, Ticketmaster confirmed there were no more tickets remaining.

In a social media post, the ticketing giant said: "@Coldplay were super popular this morning, and tickets are now sold out.
"Sorry to those who missed out this time."
However they did offer some hope to disappointed fans, adding: "Please keep an eye on our official Fan-To-Fan Ticket Exchange for tickets becoming available at a future date."
Resale tickets for Coldplay in DublinTicketmaster allows the reselling of tickets on its platforms by fans who can no longer attend certain upcoming concerts.
Given that Coldplay's Irish dates are over a year away, it's highly likely that tickets will pop up on the platform much closer to the time as well as in the coming months.
Online complaintsHowever many fans were left outraged that general sale tickets for all four dates at the 82,300-capacity stadium sold out in under an hour.
Hundreds of comments were left under Ticketmaster's official Twitter post confirming tickets were now sold out for all four Dublin dates.
One frustrated Twitter user wrote: "How can I be 4,800 in the queue and it’s sold out when I get to the top ? Absolutely ridiculous. How many tickets were sold in [presales] for each date ? And how many were left for general sale today ???"
Another Coldplay fan claimed: "Followed your rules, logged on and managed to be 4200 or so in the queue. Waited, didnt change browser/device/not logged in multiple times.
"Got to 20 in the queue – and suddenly your system tells me there is a problem, and I am re-queued. No chance of a ticket. Shambles."
While another said: "How could I have joined the queue at 2000 and no tickets left when I got through? I’ve been a regular Ticketmaster customer for all sorts of big gigs, festivals etc. it’s never been so difficult to secure tickets."
Buzz has contacted MCD to clarify how many tickets were available to fans in the two presales and in the general sale this week, and is awaiting a response from the concert promoter.
