Coldplay's music concert in Mumbai creates excitement
It has also led to a widespread frustration
Many concertgoers face significant challenges in securing tickets
The excitement surrounding Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour concert in Mumbai, scheduled for January 2025, quickly turned to frustration for many fans, including digital creator Simone Khambatta. Despite her efforts to secure tickets, which included sitting in the same spot for three hours with five devices, she was unable to purchase any. “I was on BookMyShow from 11:45 am with two devices, while my husband had three. All my friends were trying too,” she shared on Instagram, expressing her disbelief that tickets were already being resold on Viagogo at five times their original price before they officially sold out on BookMyShow.
