As Coldplay added another show to their India schedule in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad; fans were hopeful to finally have a chance at attending the band’s biggest show ever. The bookings for the fourth show opened on Saturday (Nov 16) noon but the fans were disappointed yet again as the queues on BookMyShow went into lakhs as soon as the tickets went live.
Disappointed fans?
Many fans took to social media to rant and express their agony. An X user, whose queue number was around 3.5 lakh, shared a screenshot and wrote, “Why is @bookmyshow forcing me too look at my JEE main rank again and again?”
Another, who was around the 3 lakh mark in the queues, quipped, “Even if we had 2 Narendra Modi Stadiums, I would still not get it.”
Biggest show?
Even though the bookings for Coldplay’s Mumbai concert set to happen in January 2025 went live to two rounds, fans were left disheartened due to the apparent booking scam and queues running up to eight lakhs on BookMyShow.
