Got €575 to spare?

Then you might be able to see Coldplay in Dublin tonight.

Tickets for the band’s Croke Park gig sold out in minutes when they initially went on sale and many were left disappointed.

Now, people are hoping to flog the tickets for as much as €575 on resale websites today, reports the Independent.

Meanwhile, the lads have been spotted sound-checking in Croker this afternoon.

Twitter user Courtney Boyce shared this video of the boys blasting Yellow, and if this doesn’t get you excited for tonight then nothing will.

Security is set to be tight at the event, with 82,000 people set to descend on the stadium.

Gardaí have urged concert-goers to get there in plenty of time due to body and bag searches.

Armed support units will also be present in the wake of the Manchester bombing and security threats at other large events internationally.

Members of the public are advised that a number of items won’t be allowed in, including backpacks, large bags, glowsticks and banners.
