**Mumbai, India** – BookMyShow is facing intense backlash from frustrated Coldplay fans attempting to purchase tickets for the band’s upcoming India concerts. Social media is ablaze with complaints regarding a persistent glitch displaying users’ JEE Main (engineering entrance exam) ranks repeatedly, alongside accusations of exorbitant ticket reselling on platforms like Viagogo.
Users report being bombarded with their JEE scores throughout the ticketing process, a completely unrelated detail causing significant annoyance. The problem was further compounded by the speed at which tickets sold out, with reports indicating that tickets were being resold at five to six times their original price mere minutes after the official sale began.
One user tweeted, “At this rate Coldplay could add 100 shows in India and we probably still wouldn’t get tickets.” The rapid sell-out and subsequent surge in inflated prices on secondary markets have fueled anger amongst fans, with many accusing BookMyShow of failing to manage demand effectively. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges of securing tickets for high-demand events and the frustrating prevalence of ticket touting. BookMyShow has yet to publicly comment on the issues.
