Coldplay concert in India 2025: BookMyShow crashes minutes before tickets go on sale; IRCTC and other memes flood the internet
Thousands of enthusiastic fans were frustrated on Sunday when the ticket platform BookMyShow crashed just a few minutes earlier Coldplay concert Tickets should go on sale. The British rock band brings their “Music of the Spheres World Tour” to Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on January 18 and 19, 2025, marking her return to India after an 8-year hiatus.
At 12 o’clock, when Ticket sales were due to begin, BookMyShow’s website and app became unresponsive, preventing fans from accessing the ticket page. Social media platforms were quickly flooded with complaints and memes as users expressed their disappointment.
“I never understood why on earth BookMyShow was chosen as the ticketing partner for bookings. They messed up with the World Cup tickets and now with the Coldplay scene. The app crashed,” wrote one frustrated fan on X (formerly Twitter).
As soon as sales began, many users reported ongoing problems with the website and were unable to complete the booking process. This meant that many fans were unable to get tickets.
Coldplay has added another show in India on January 21, 2025 and it will take place at the same venue as the other shows, the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
Ticket prices for the highly anticipated shows range from Rs 2,500 to Rs 12,500, with a maximum of four tickets sold per purchase. The concerts promise to be a spectacular event, with a mix of hits from Coldplay’s latest album ‘Music of the Spheres’ as well as popular classics such as ‘Yellow’ and ‘Viva La Vida’.
This will be Coldplay’s second performance in India, following their 2016 appearance at the Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai. The band’s world tour has already sold over 10 million tickets worldwide since it kicked off in March 2022.
