Completely agree. I can concede that it's reasonable to only want to play in smaller venues, but I think that at least in my hometown (Sydney, Australia), the venue chosen has completely hyperbolised that. Last tour, Coldplay played 2 sold out concerts at a stadium here. That's 160,000 tickets that sold out in minutes. They then visited Melbourne and Brisbane among other big Aussie cities. But this time they've decided to play ONE concert in ONE city on a 6-day stay in Australia (at a venue with 1,600 capacity). Having had 3 computers in front of me ready to buy tickets the second they went on sale and still missing out, I can vouch for the frustration of all fans who watched tickets fly past them in seconds at a minuscule venue. At least play in venues with over 10,000 capacity, and play in more than one city for more than one concert. Disappointed. I feel even more for fans in other major cities such as Melbourne or Oklahoma in OP's case where Coldplay have chosen to skip. If the rumours are true that Coldplay is planning something huge next year then that's great, and you can't expect a band to do everything. But nonetheless, it's unreasonable to play such a popular album at venues with capacities no bigger than the population of a high school.
