One fan branded the practice “predatory” after a pair of standing tickets, which for Wembley the same year had been £85 each, were offered at £526.30.
The band – made up of Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion – remain one of the most popular and best-selling music acts of all time.
On Tuesday, they announced that they will perform at Craven Park in Hull for the first time on Aug 18 and 19, before six dates at Wembley Stadium.
To avoid local fans missing out on tickets, they have reserved 50 per cent of Hull tickets for nearby residents using a postcode system.
A limited number of “affordable” Infinity Tickets will also be on sale, costing a maximum of £20.
They have been released for every Coldplay show on their record-breaking Music of the Spheres world tour, which they have been performing for two years.
The band said that their six Wembley performances will be powered entirely by solar, wind and kinetic energy, which they said is a “world first for a stadium show”.
It follows an announcement in June that their current tour has so far produced 59 per cent less carbon emissions than their previous 2016-17 stadium tour.
They are planning to release their 10th studio album, Moon Music, next month and they have claimed that it will be their most “eco-friendly” record.
The general sale for both Wembley and Hull will begin at 9am BST on Friday, Sept 27, following a presale the day before for those who have pre-ordered the new album.
