Coldplay Abu Dhabi

I attended the Coldplay concert yesterday as a GA regular ticket holder, and here’s my experience and tips. I live in Corniche and took a taxi to Zayed Stadium at 1:30 PM. Public buses are also available to the stadium. Gates for GA entry open at 3 PM, so bring something like paper to sit on near the wall. Use the clean washrooms outside around 2:30 PM. Bring food, order online (e.g., Noon), and carry water to stay hydrated.

At 3 PM, the first gate opens, but you’ll queue again until 5 PM. Use this time to sit, eat, and conserve energy. Watching a downloaded movie helps pass the time.

Once inside at 5 PM, head quickly to secure a spot near sections C, D, or E, aiming for the first few rows. The view, sound, and interaction with Chris are amazing near section D. Avoid standing behind tall people. Water is handed out in glasses near the stage, so don’t worry if you run out.

The concert ended at 10 PM. I walked to the Nation Towers shuttle bus area, took a bus there, and then got a taxi home. Everything went smoothly.

It’s an incredible experience, enjoy it!
