The excitement surrounding Coldplay's upcoming concert tour in India has been met with disappointment for many fans. While a select few managed to secure tickets for the highly anticipated event, a staggering number of fans were left empty-handed as the tickets quickly sold out. In response to this situation, BookMyShow, the exclusive ticketing partner for the Coldplay concerts, has issued a stern warning against unauthorised ticket sellers.

BookMyShow Warning Against Scams

BookMyShow took to social media to alert fans about unauthorised platforms selling tickets for Coldplay's concerts. "It has come to our attention that unauthorized platforms are listing tickets for Coldplay's Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 in India, both before and after the official sale. These tickets are invalid. Ticket scalping is illegal in India and punishable by law. Please don't fall prey to this because you will be buying fake tickets" their post read.

The caption read, "Protect Yourself from Ticket Scams! Don’t fall prey to unauthorized platforms selling fake tickets for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 in India (sic)!"

Coldplay India Concert Ticket Sale

Coldplay's "Music Of The Spheres World Tour" is set to return to India after a nine-year hiatus, with concerts scheduled for January 18, 19, and 21, 2025, in Mumbai. The initial ticket sale took place on September 22, 2024, at noon. Unfortunately, the demand was overwhelming, causing the BookMyShow website and app to crash just moments before sales began. Fans reported being stuck on frozen screens as they attempted to secure their spots.

Despite the chaos, BookMyShow managed to implement a queueing system to handle the massive influx of traffic. A spokesperson for the company stated that they addressed suspicious activity swiftly to ensure minimal disruption for genuine fans.

“We implemented a queueing system to manage the overwhelming demand and addressed issues caused by suspicious and malicious traffic within minutes, causing a brief delay, but ensuring minimal disruption for genuine fans. Due to the unprecedented demand, a third Mumbai show was added shortly thereafter, which also received a fantastic response.”
