Coldplay will play two intimate Christmas gigs to draw attention to the problem of hidden homelessness and to raise vital funds for Crisis, the UK charity for single homeless people.
The 'Hidden Gigs' will take place in Liverpool on Sunday 19th December and Newcastle on Monday 20th December.
The venues will remain hidden until 24 hours before Coldplay step on stage. This gives gig-goers a small taste of the uncertainty faced by the thousands of homeless people who do not know where they will spend the night. Both venues have been hand-picked by the band for their intimate nature, and each has a capacity of around 1,000 people.
General tickets go on sale at 2pm this Friday (12th November) from www.seetickets.com/hidden and will be priced £50.
All general sale tickets will be sold to people living in and around Liverpool and Newcastle. Only those with a credit/debit card registered to billing addresses with the following postcodes will be able to buy these tickets:
Liverpool: L1 L40, CH25 CH32, CH41 CH49, CH60 CH63
Newcastle: NE1 NE49, NE61 NE71, SR1 SR9, DH1 DH9
There will also be an auction of 200 general admission tickets available to anyone around the world. Plus, 30 meet & greet tickets will be auctioned for each gig, which will include early entry, champagne reception, best seats in the house, meet & greet with Coldplay, photo opportunity & access to VIP bar. The auctions will run for one week from 12 November at 2pm, again via www.seetickets.com/hidden.
All proceeds from all tickets will go to support Crisis vital work for single homeless people.
