British rock band Coldplay’s highly anticipated concerts in Mumbai have turned into a nightmare for fans, as tickets are being resold at outrageous prices. Originally priced between Rs 2,500 and Rs 12,000, some tickets are now being resold for as much as Rs 900,000 ($10,800). The frenzy erupted after over 10 million fans vied for just 180,000 tickets on BookMyShow (BMS), leading to site crashes and long queues.
The newly announced show, set for January 21, 2025, at the DY Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, follows fan frustration over long waits and server crashes during ticket sales for the first two dates.
