Trying to make the forthcoming Coldplay performances in India exciting, ticketing site BookMyShow has issued a strict caution towards its fans regarding the dangers of purchasing tickets from the unauthorized platforms. At the start of the next year, the British rock band will perform at Mumbai on January 18, 19, and 21, 2025 as part of their “Music Of The Spheres World Tour.”
Server Issues with High Ticket Demand
Ticketing for the much-awaited concerts went live on BookMyShow on Sunday, and the traffic was tremendous. The site crashed due to high traffic, with 1.1 million people waiting in the queue at some point1. Still, tickets for the opening two shows sold out in a jiffy, compelling the promoters to add a third show to satisfy one of the most enthusiastic fan bases around.
Warning Against Unauthorised Sales
The illegal entity, while capitalizing on the surge in demand, has begun the listings of tickets at significant markups. BookMyShow, which also enjoys the exclusive rights to sell Coldplay concert tickets in India, has educated fans regarding the potential loss from their clutches. It said that ticket scalping is illegal in India and dealt with severely under Indian laws.
Here’s a statement by BookMyShow: “We have noticed that unofficial websites are selling tickets for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 in India, both before and after the start date of the authorized sale. These tickets are invalid. Ticket scalping is illegal in India and can attract law enforcement action. Avoid falling for this because you would be paying for a facsimile. Do not be fooled! BookMyShow is the only authorized ticketing website”.
Safe Fans
The warning from BookMyShow keeps the fans safe from duping ticket sellers to ensure that the fans attending the concert are an authentic one. The company told the fans to purchase tickets only through the website to avoid disappointment and perhaps landing in a soup.
