Live Nation: Coldplay Tampa show is officially cancelled

Live Nation have been sending out emails to those with unused tickets for the Tampa Coldplay show that never was last month. It reads:

Dear Live Nation Customer, regarding Coldplay in TAMPA, Ford Amphitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds, please be advised of the following: It was announced today the postponed Coldplay show at Ford Amphitheatre has been cancelled. Refunds of the face value of the ticket and the per ticket convenience charge will automatically be processed to the credit card used at the time of purchase. This refund will appear on your next credit card statement depending upon billing cycle. There is no need to return any tickets you may have received in the mail. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Care at 1-888-598-4299 Sunday ˆ Saturday 9am -1am EDT, or email us at [email protected]. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you.

This puts an end to speculation that Coldplay would return to Tampa on the back of a possible Latin America tour, alhough this does not mean that a Latin American tour won't go ahead. As yet, nothing apart from this news has been announced.

More on this breaking news at the Coldplay Live forum here onwards. [thanks daNgoland, Rhianna, lfdianne & CitizenSnips]
