Sun Sep 22 16:12:29 UTC 2024: ## Coldplay Concert Tickets Sell Out in Minutes, Leaving Thousands of Fans Frustrated

**Mumbai, India – September 22, 2024:** Thousands of Indian fans are expressing their disappointment after tickets for Coldplay’s upcoming concerts in Mumbai, scheduled for January 2025, sold out within minutes of going on sale.

Despite the band announcing an additional show due to overwhelming demand, all three concerts were met with a virtual stampede, leaving many fans empty-handed.

“I joined the queue at 12 p.m. and was at position 10.6 lakh,” shared Jay, a student from Hyderabad. “Even though I quickly moved to around 50,000, it was all over. Sold out,” he added, echoing the sentiments of thousands of others who faced similar challenges.

Many fans reported being kicked out of the booking website, BookMyShow, only to find all tickets gone upon logging back in.

“I thought I had a chance when I reached position 20,000,” shared Ramya, a corporate employee. “But then BookMyShow kicked me out, and everything was gone.”

The frustration was compounded by the emergence of tickets being resold at exorbitant prices. Tickets originally priced at ₹6,500 were reportedly being sold for ₹80,000, while ₹35,000 tickets were listed for ₹1.8 lakh.

“It’s heartbreaking for fans who worked hard to bring Coldplay to Mumbai,” said Ramya, referring to the fan survey conducted by the band.

Fans are now expressing concern over the lack of transparency and potential scalping of tickets, urging authorities and organizers to take action to ensure fairness and accessibility for genuine fans.
