This Kildare lad's Coldplay ticket prank has blown up on Facebook
YESTERDAY, HALF THE country seemed to lose the run of themselves when Coldplay tickets were released for Croker.
Of course, some unfortunate fans were left hanging when there were no tickets left through the traditional means.
But one Kildare man called Shane saw an opportunity for some craic at the expense of his friend Gerard.
He posted a story to the ‘Coldplay at Croke Park’ Facebook page about his “girlfriend” and their mutual love of Coldplay

It was long and it was detailed. And it was also absolutely gas.
He began:
Makeagif Makeagif
Yes, he’d got the tickets:
Oh. No.
So, the reason he was posting on the page was that he had two tickets for sale at face value. Given the hilarious nature of the story, the post blew up overnight – with over 15,000 Irish people liking it, and nearly a thousand commenting.
The kicker, though, was that the phone number he left was Gerard’s
Which has meant the last 24 hours for Gerard has included hundreds of phone calls, messages and voicemails
Poor Gerard tells DailyEdge.ie:
Gerard will have to keep the Coldplay fans at arm’s length for the next while – which might be a struggle for him. Still, the calls will stop coming eventually, you’d think.
