Join the fight against unethical ticket resales for Coldplay's India 2025 Concert
Hello Coldplay fans,
The excitement for Coldplay's 2025 concert in India has turned bittersweet for thousands of fans who were unable to secure tickets through Bookmyshow.
Did you know?
More than 1.3 crore people logged in to Bookmyshow to book 1.5 lakh Coldplay India 2025 concert tickets.
Soon after, these same tickets appeared on resale platforms like viagogo , sometimes at prices that were 15-20 times higher than the original cost.
This practice not only exploits genuine fans but is also illegal under Indian law.

Over 75% of tickets listed at inflated rates on secondary markets came from non-official platforms, profiting scalpers.
Resale prices surged as high as ₹7,00,000 INR, far above the official rate.
It is not just the high price and exploitation, scammers are also selling fake tickets!
It is the reason why we have created a guide to help Coldplay fans verify their tickets and avoid getting scammed.
Please follow this guide to verify Coldplay tickets.
