Waking up early on Thursday did not guarantee every Coldplay fans a ticket to the concert of the British boy band in Manila as the passes dried out quickly for those who have come late – or at least a minute later than the others.

‘Nobody said it was easy’

Coldplay fans took it to Twitter to vent their disappointment about the sold out tickets for the Coldplay concert in Manila, not to mention the long lines to ticket booths that build up earlier than the general sale of tickets that kicked off 10 am on Thursday.

“Hurts like heaven _ #ColdplayManila,” @clarisseguanzon tweeted.

“Waited for 10 hours, imagine that 10 hours! And still, we got nothing because of whatever system they have. @maiziecorn #ColdplayManila,” @iamsuperjayrom said.

“So sad watching the joy drain out of my siblings’ eyes when ticketing announced that Coldplay tix are officially SOLD OUT. #ColdplayManila,” @colormeapple posted on Twitter.

“From ‘nobody said it was ez’ to ‘wen u try ur best but u dont succeed’ real quick ang pagavail ng ticket #ColdplayManila,” @joshuadimaano added.

“When you lose something you cant replace. _ #ColdplayManila” @ErikaRompe wrote on  Twitter.

Coldplay ticket scalpers

Otherwise, some fans are still hopeful they could score tickets from scalpers.

“Cheer up, guys! You may not have Coldplay tickets today but you’ll always have us and food and….scalpers,” @foursisons said, while trying to be hopeful.

“And im pretty sure madaming scalpers for Coldplay tickets. Sadly some people would really buy since they love the band so much,” @Allinanutshelll added.

“Paging coldplay ticket scalpers :(((( papatol po ako :((((((((,” @ayamayani desperately tweeted.

Coldplay 2-day concert

A Coldplay Manila concert was a dream until it has come to life when the band and the concert promoter, MMI Live announced the event on Nov. 15. Now, fans who missed out on the tickets are petitioning for a two-day Coldplay concert in the Philippines.

“PLEASE PLEASE _ #ManilaWantsColdplayDay2,” @joshuaaaacapili pleaded.

“First, the Globe Presale. Now the Public Sale. lol sana next na yung announcement ng Day 2 #ManilaWantsColdplayDay2” @BYE_ncx tweeted.

“The soldout tix may have smashed my heart into smithereens but keep the tweets coming ❤ @coldplay #ManilaWantsColdplayDay2 #ColdplayManil a,” @anjawwn said.

A petition was also created on the Change.org for a second night of the concert. As of this posting, 343 supporters have already signed it.

Fans can never be hopeless for possibilities especially when Coldplay announced on Thursday that an additional Bangkok date and a second Singapore show has been added to the upcoming Asian leg of their concert in 2017. Filipino fans still have a chance to attend concerts in other Asian countries where Coldplay will be playing.

Here are some additional tweets for the Coldplay Manila concert in 2017.
