Malaysians Call For Second Date For Coldplay Concert After Tickets Sell Out Within 3 Hours
"When you try your best, but you don't succeed..."

Malaysians are requesting a second date for Coldplay's upcoming concert in KL, as tickets for the British band's 22 November show in Bukit Jalil National Stadium sold out within three hours today, 17 May
The general sale for the band's 22 November concert took place today, with tickets officially selling out at 1.07pm.
Coldplay fans snapped up some 60,000 tickets — an estimation based on BLACKPINK's March concert in the same stadium by the same organiser — after the tickets began to go on sale at 10am.
Now, fans are having a head full of dreams, demanding that a second concert date be added as they don't want to miss out on an adventure of a lifetime.
"Day 2, please! If Kaohsiung can, then why KL cannot?" asked a netizen directly under the organiser's tweet announcing that tickets were sold out
"Please open [a] second show in KL," cried another fan.
"Day 2, please. Have been waiting since morning, never gotten into it. This is so depressing," lamented a Twitter user, while another chanted, "Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2, Day 2..."
You get the idea. Coldplay fans are loudly and insistently asking for a second show.
It is not uncommon for Coldplay to add extra dates in locations where the demand is high
As a netizen rightly pointed out, the band was initially scheduled for only one concert date in Kaohsiung National Stadium, Taiwan, before adding on a second date later on.
On the band's Music of the Spheres World Tour website, Kaohsiung's second concert is labelled with the tag 'Extra Date'.
The same can be found for concerts in the US, Spain, the UK, Italy, Switzerland, and many more.
Coimbra, Portugal initially only had one date for the concert, but now has a total of four nights to watch Coldplay perform live. What a treat.
