I believe the venue capacity is about 30 000 people, which seems about right for a band the size of Coldplay. However, I wonder if there is enough of a population base to support two concerts in the area. I feel confident that Halifax could attract a good crowd (same for Moncton) on their own, but having two shows might split the attendance.
I think the population of the Maritimes can only support one play for them, and usually shows like that have a radius clause that would preclude them playing 2 hours away.
