The location has been split into these locations – General Access ( ₹7,999), VIP ( ₹13,999), 2 Fan Pit areas on each side ( ₹16,999) and 2 salons ( ₹24,999). Tickets for all these segments are still appearing available on BookMyShow.

Coldplay tickets black marketing

This comes days after the cyber wing of the Maharashtra police issued a notice to BookMyShow, asking it to implement strict measures, including selling tickets by name for UK band Coldplay’s concerts in January and other shows.

The notification was issued by Maharashtra Cyber ​​to prevent exploitation of fans buying tickets from online platforms, an official said on Wednesday. There is a growing number of complaints on online forums and social media about problems being faced in booking tickets for such high-profile concerts and events through online platforms, he said.

Many people have reported unresponsive websites during the critical booking period, he said, adding that this leads to tickets being black-marketed at exorbitant prices, sometimes as much as 10 times the original price. Maharashtra Cyber ​​has found that the measures taken by the platforms to avoid such situations are insufficient, the official said.
