Last week, popular British band Coldplay announced yet another upcoming UK date as they were announced as headliners for Capital Radio’s Jingle Bell Ball next month.

The exciting news meant Coldplay fans who hadn’t managed to bag tickets for one of the band’s 12 UK tour dates next summer had an extra opportunity to see the ‘Yellow’ and ‘Paradise’ hitmakers live in concert.

However, just like their Music of the Spheres tour in 2025, tickets for Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball sold out quickly, with the radio station announcing that hopeful fans would have to keep listening to Capital for chances to win entry to the Yuletide festival.

But there is another way to secure your seat at London’s O2 Arena on December 7 to see not only Coldplay, but also the likes of Ella Henderson, Clean Bandit, Tom Grennan, and Sigala – thanks to resale sites such as viagogo, VividSeats, and StubHub.

Sites like these allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.

Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience.

Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk. With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee.”

So just how much are Capital Jingle Bell Ball tickets going for on resale sites? Well, given the star-studded line-up, most would agree that prices are currently a bit of a steal – starting from just £125 on viagogo, £150 on VividSeats, and £175 on StubHub, at the time of writing.

This is significantly cheaper than resale tickets for Coldplay’s 2025 dates – and you get much more for your money, too, due to the full festival line-up.

But if you can’t make Coldplay’s Christmas show at the Jingle Bell Ball, you can still secure tickets for one of the band’s 10 shows under the Wembley Stadium arch in August and September next year.

Prices for these dates currently start at £225 on viagogo, £290 on StubHub, and £335 on VividSeats, at the time of writing, for a seated ticket. Or, if you’re up for being on your feet and dancing the night away, you can get standing floor tickets starting from £300 on viagogo, £320 on VividSeats, and from £335 on StubHub.

The cheapest ticket options currently on each of the sites are for Coldplay’s last few September dates, which drop significantly in price compared to their earlier August shows. The full list of Coldplay dates next summer are as follows:

  • August 18: Hull, Craven Park Stadium
  • August 19: Hull, Craven Park Stadium
  • August 22: London, Wembley Stadium
