Coldplay concert in Mumbai – Important information

• There are a few important things to keep in mind if you want to attend. Firstly, tickets cannot be purchased directly at the venue, so fans will need to secure their tickets online.
• The age limit for the concert is five years and over. Children must be accompanied by a ticket holder who is at least 18 years old.
• Every visitor, including children, must have a valid ticket. The concert is expected to last approximately four hours. Once a ticket has been scanned, re-entry into the venue is not possible.
• This means that fans must remain in the stadium for the entire duration of the event after entry.
• One of the most exciting elements of the concert experience is the LED wristband that each attendee receives upon entering the venue. Part of Coldplay’s interactive concert experience, this wristband lights up in sync with the music, adding to the overall spectacle of the performance.
• Fans do not need to activate the wristbands themselves – they can simply put them on and enjoy the show. However, after the concert, the wristbands must be returned at the exit.
• As with most major events, food and drinks can be purchased on site, but bring-in food is not permitted. The DY Patil Stadium is not air-conditioned, but those opting for the hospitality package have access to air-conditioned anterooms.
• This package also includes premium food and beverage service, an elevated observation deck, dedicated entry lanes, restrooms, parking and a holding area.

What are your chances of getting a ticket for Coldplay?

A trend calculation by ChatGPT indicates that it may be more difficult than expected to get a ticket.

A marketing professional recently posted a detailed breakdown of ticket availability on social media, painting a realistic picture of the situation. With around 150,000 people expected to try to book through BookMyShow by the weekend, competition is expected to be intense. Based on the analysis, the initial chances of getting a ticket are around 1 in 3, considering the current demand and stadium capacity.

The calculation assumes that 20% of fans do not express an official interest but still want to buy tickets, and that competition increases by a further 10% due to multiple bookings. This shifts the odds to around 1 in 4.4, or a 22.7% chance, which the analysis suggests is likely to continue to worsen.
