Coldplay India Concert: After 3-day stop in Mumbai, the British band will be performing at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on January 25, 2025 which will mark their conclusion of the India tour. The iconic band announced a second show after the first concert sold out within minutes. This has led to fans slamming the ticketing platform BookMyShow.

Fans slam BookMyShow after unable to avail the tickets

The booking for Coldplay’s concert in Ahmedabad opened on Saturday. But fans weren’t able to buy the tickets as soon as it went live on the platform. Despite adding a second show in the city, fans then took to social media to slam BookMyShow.

One user wrote, “Stop fooling your honest fans. The least you can do is to take back the ticketing rights from the fraud @bookmyshow. What on earth is randomisation queue allocation”.

Another user wrote, “The steaming app of @bookmyshow is a fraud. Fooling people into bullying extra content in disguise of full movie. #FraudBookMyShow.

“Another social media user wrote, ‘@bookmyshow return all the money you took from all Indians in the name of internet handling fees. It’s against the RBI guidelines @RBI @FinMinIndia #FraudBookMyShow #Boycott

“Please choose a better ticketing platform, you can add a dozen shows but actual fans will still never get a chance due to randomization. All its doing is giving scammers to hard and re-sell at atrocious prices.
