Queues run into lakhs for Coldplay Ahmedabad concert on BookMyShow

Fans were disappointed again

Many fans went to X and shared their frustration at having to wait in such a long queue on their third attempt. Bookings for three Coldplay concerts in Mumbai in January 2025 went live twice last month, but millions of fans could not attend due to queues of up to 8 lakh on BookMyShow.

An Another, who stood in the queues around the 3 lakh mark, quipped, “Even if we had 2 Narendra Modi stadiums, I wouldn’t have got this (smiling with tear emoji).” Interestingly, BookMyShow is calling the Ahmedabad concert as the biggest concert of Coldplay’s career, as the capacity of Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad is more than 1 lakh.

About Coldplay’s India tour

In September, Coldplay announced two shows at the DY Patil Sports Stadium on January 18 and 19, 2025. Upon popular demand the musical group added a third concert at the same venue on January 21.

The new announcement of the fourth show in Ahmedabad comes after the controversy over reports of black marketing of tickets after they were sold out within minutes. The Enforcement Directorate initiated a probe into the alleged illegal sale of tickets for the concerts of Coldplay and Diljit Dosanjh after the shows sold out within minutes on online ticketing platforms including Zomato Live. Many of them ended up on unauthorized platforms where they were being sold at exorbitant prices.
