Tickets to Coldplay’s Ahmedabad concert have appeared on reselling platforms with highly inflated price tags within minutes of going live on BookMyShow

Tickets to Coldplay’s Ahmedabad concert have appeared on reselling platforms with highly inflated price tags within minutes of going live on BookMyShow. Tickets for the Coldplay concert in Ahmedabad went live on BookMyShow at 12 pm this afternoon. Within minutes, they appeared on reselling platforms like Viagogo, listing at five to six times the original price.

A repeat of Mumbai fiasco?

Fans are worried that this ticket sale is also shaping up to be a repeat of last time, when lakhs of Coldplay fans waited in a virtual queue for hours to score a ticket to their Mumbai concerts but left empty-handed

.Coldplay fans had earlier alleged mismanagement on part of BookMyShow in allowing Mumbai concert tickets to be scalped at high prices.

The controversy erupted after BookMyShow crashed on September 22, moments after ticket sales commenced for British band's Mumbai shows. While every user had to register on the platform and was not permitted to book more than four tickets in one transaction, the tickets on offer disappeared in no time and later became available on other portals at hugely inflated rates.

It is true but its still the same top 15-20% people who hold the wealth.

But because our population is huge, this 20% is also equivalent to american pop. (which is 3rd largest country in population)

I guess many of us fall in this segment.

But india would still be classified poor because a majority is still poor (no solution frankly)

Also most of our black economy is blocked in real estate, that can be unlocked overnight. Apart from that there isnt anything significant , 3 to 5 times might be an exaggeration.

India per capita GDP is approx $2300 = Rs 2 lakhs

Just because some spoiled rich brats want to splurge their parents' hard earned cash on tickets so they can show off to their friends does not change the reality of the rest of the population.

And I'm willing to bet these guys are just getting familiar with Coldplay and their songs so they can shriek and shout along during the concert like some sort of life long die hard fans

All these are irrelevant as next war will be last war as one nation will use nuclear power and everything will be finished.

We are also making 5th generation aircrafts.

This is the soft power of Amrika - get people in a country thousands of miles away who have no similarities at all with your culture to go so crazy over one of your rock bands that they are willing to pay 20x the ticket prices to experience them live in crushing crowds where toilets are hell. The problem lies with the parents of these people who are shelling 20x the ticket prices - they simply failed to instill the value of money in their children's minds. Even if it is your own "hard-earned" money that you are spending, the same statement applies.
