Mumbai: Ticket sales for the highly-anticipated Coldplay Infinity concerts across Indian cities kickstarted at 12 noon on Friday.
Priced at Rs 2000 each, the tickets were snapped up within seconds, leaving a large number of Indian fans frustrated and disappointed. The tickets for the India concerts were sold through the BookMyShow app.
Disappointed fans took to social media platforms to vent their frustration. While some called out booking platform BookMyShow for being unauthentic, others requested Mumbai police to investigate what they felt was unfair sale of tickets. Some called it a ‘scam’.
Take a look at what netizens had to say:

Coldplay infinity tickets sold out in seconds, 98% probably headed straight to resell.
Let’s stop feeding these greedy resellers! If we all refuse to buy, they’ll have no choice but to sell at face value closer to the concert.
Let’s make them sweat!#ColdplayIndia @bookmyshow— Nirali Negi (@NiraliNegi) November 22, 2024
