The announcement of the BBC’s new music awards ceremony took place this morning, as tickets to see Coldplay perform along with the likes of Calvin Harris, One Direction, Ed Sheeran and more went on sale right away to the delight of many Coldplay fans who have a chance to be part of music history at Earls Court, London on December 11th!

Usually, an event with such a popular line up would be sold out almost immediately but with the instant release of tickets upon the show announcement, it was a calm ticket rush indeed on seetickets, the company who is not the most popular around these parts (Online mayhem for the Albert Hall tickets sale in June).

The BBC award ceremony is the first of its kind for the British Broadcasting Company and looks set to rival The Brit Awards, which has experienced a decline in viewers in recent years. The new BBC Music Awards are on a smaller but sweeter scale, with only the three awards : British Artist of the Year, International Artist of the Year and Song of the Year being given out. With the BBC having such a star studded line up (like the many stars who recorded the new BBC music anthem), they may become THE award ceremony in the UK, at the expense of their ITV rivals. Nominees (which will certainly include Coldplay in one category) and voting information will be revealed closer to the event itself.
