Fri Jan 17 20:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Coldplay Ticket Prices Plummet After BookMyShow Release
**Ahmedabad, India –** BookMyShow’s release of additional tickets for Coldplay’s Ahmedabad concerts on January 25th and 26th has sent resale prices tumbling and sparked a mixed reaction from fans. While some welcomed the extra availability, others expressed frustration with the booking process and concerns over ticket delivery delays.
Resale websites, which previously saw tickets listed for ₹50,000 to ₹100,000, now show most tickets priced between ₹5,000 and ₹12,000, though some remain at inflated prices. This dramatic drop suggests a significant overestimation of initial demand.
One fan, Ravi Mehta, reported that while higher-priced tickets (₹25,000) remained largely unsold, attempts to purchase lower-priced tickets were repeatedly unsuccessful. This led to speculation about preferential access to higher-priced seats. Another fan, Nihar Varma, noted the slower sales pace compared to previous releases, suggesting a decline in scalping activity.
Despite the additional tickets, several fans have complained on social media about delays in receiving their tickets, expressing concern about potential issues accessing the concerts. BookMyShow has previously stated its commitment to combating ticket resale, which is illegal in India. However, the significant price drop on resale sites indicates that scalpers may have purchased significant quantities of tickets, potentially contributing to the reported frustrations. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges in preventing ticket scalping and ensuring fair access to high-demand events.
