Chris Martin and co have been left out in the cold with tickets for their remaining US tour dates changing hands for as little as 60p.

Coldplay have been on the road playing stadiums across the States since May, but it looks as though the global recession is taking its toll and fans are looking to cheaper alternatives when buying tickets.

Despite the face value ranging from $30 to $90, those wanting to attend are picking-up tickets for virtually nothing via auction sites.

It's though their extensive touring schedule is also to blame, as fans have had plenty of opportunities to witness the band live.

It seems Chris Martin and friends will have performed 74 concerts in less than a year, on their 'Viva La Vida' tour and that they are running out of fans to watch them.

But it is not just Coldplay who are being affected, Bruce Springsteen, U2 and Paul McCartney are all recording poor advance ticket sales.
