Chris Martin 'can't get Jackson tickets'

Chris Martin has admitted that he cannot get tickets for Michael Jackson's comeback tour because they have all sold out.

Speaking to The Mirror, the Coldplay singer confessed that he had waited too long to secure his seats and was distraught to find that all the tickets for the entire 50-date London residency had been snapped up.

"I was looking at it on the internet and thought, 'I'd better buy some for myself' and I couldn't. They were totally sold out," he explained.

"To sell out like that is a testament to talent. It is just amazing to sell out 50 shows in one city in a big arena. It's the biggest comeback since Lazarus. It's good news - but not for me."

Earlier, it was reported that Jackson had gifted the Harry Potter cast with all-access passes for the first night of his tour at London's O2 arena.
