The first concert of Coldplay World Tour 2025 will take place at DY Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai today Saturday evening. The concert will start at 7:45 pm. Coldplay concert will be held in the same stadium in Mumbai on 19th and 21st January also. According to media reports, about 70 thousand people are expected to attend this 3-day concert.
After Mumbai, Coldplay will have 3 more concerts in Ahmedabad. This show will be held on 25th and 26th January at Narendra Modi Stadium. Now, additional tickets for Ahmedabad have been added on Book My Show a few days before the concert.
This information has been shared on social media on January 15 on the official page of Book My Show. The post reads- Limited tickets have been added for all shows of Coldplay Music of the Spheres World Tour 2025 – India, Ahmedabad. Limited tickets for both the shows in Ahmedabad will go live from 6 pm today.
Earlier, when tickets started selling on Book My Show for the Ahmedabad concert in the year 2024, within a few minutes all the tickets were sold and the booking was full. Because of this, angry fans say that when the concert organizers could not sell the tickets in black, they added extra tickets.
Filmmaker Karan Johar had told through a social media post that despite being privileged, he missed booking the ticket.
Global News Daily had done a sting and revealed that a ticket worth Rs 3500 was sold for Rs 70 thousand.
To understand this black marketing of tickets, Dainik Global News Daily's team had conducted a sting operation. In the sting, it was revealed that manipulation of tickets had taken place on a large scale. The tickets which were not available on the site were easily being sold outside at 10 to 15 times higher prices. The situation was such that a ticket worth Rs 3500 was available for Rs 70 thousand. There were some gangs in Mumbai, who were selling tickets in black.
The actual rate of tickets for Coldplay event can be understood from this graph. The most expensive ticket was for Rs 35 thousand, which the fraudsters were selling for Rs 1 lakh 70 thousand.
Book My Show filed complaint after Global News Daily's sting
After this sting by Global News Daily, Book My Show app has filed a complaint against many people who are illegally selling tickets at high prices through Instagram and fake websites. The general manager of the law department of the app alleged that for several days she had been receiving complaints through e-mail that Coldplay concert tickets were being sold for arbitrary amounts through fake websites. He also had several screenshots, which included numbers and chats of about 27 people who were selling tickets.
Allegations of fraud of Rs 500 crore on Book My Show app also
BYJM (Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha) had also registered a complaint with EOW accusing Book My Show of fraud. Book My Show was accused of money laundering and fraud of Rs 500 crore in the name of ticket selling.
The allegation was that Book My Show was supposed to give tickets to the people who first visited the app, however, the app created a special link for the black marketing agents, through which they could buy tickets and sell them at expensive prices. Those who bought tickets were put in a virtual queue, due to which they could not book tickets. Book My Show app has earned Rs 500 crore from this rigging.
