Just minutes after going on sale, tickets for the Cold Play 2025 Mumbai concert were snapped up, leaving many fans empty-handed and desperate. The scramble didn’t stop at the official sales platform, BookMyShow, where tickets originally priced between Rs 2,500 and Rs 35,000 quickly vanished.
Bookmyshow ‘server crashed’ on Sunday minutes after tickets sell for Coldplay India concert start. Frustrated fans, who have been waiting to get access to tickets, reacted saying ‘This is not fair!!!!’, ‘why on earth…’
This led to a surge in demand on the black market, where prices skyrocketed to nearly Rs 1 lakh per ticket. The immense popularity of Cold Play and the anticipation for their return to India after nine years have fueled this frenzy. The concert is part of their Music of the Spheres – World Tour, marking a significant moment for both the band and their Indian fans.
Third Coldplay Show Provides No Respite
In response to the overwhelming demand, Cold Play announced an additional show date in Mumbai on January 21, hoping to accommodate more fans. Despite this effort, the addition did little to ease the situation, as countless fans remained stuck in virtual queues, competing for a chance to see the band live. This scenario highlights the challenges and excitement surrounding major musical events in India, where the desire to participate in live experiences is growing stronger.
Coldplay will perform in Mumbai on January 18 and 19, 2025, as part of their ‘Music of the Spheres World Tour’. Tickets go on sale September 22, 2024. Fans are excited for the return since their last performance in 2016, promising a spectacular concert experience.
