All the tickets sold out within just 30 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>With so many left out, reseller sites began offering tickets at massively inflated prices. BookMyShow priced tickets between Rs 2,000 and Rs 35,000, but soon after, resale platforms like Viagogo were listing them for as much as Rs 10 lakh. A Rs 12,500 ticket was being sold for over Rs 3.36 lakh on these platforms, with standing tickets, originally priced at Rs 6,450, being resold for up to Rs 50,000. <\/p>\n<p>The band announced an additional concert in November, 2024 and the same pattern repeated. To the surprise of fans, another round of ticket sales took place on January 11.<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/coldplay-concert-in-mumbai-bookmyshow-issues-security-guidelines-warns-against-black-marketing\/articleshow\/117206471.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ticketing aggregator BookmyShow on Sunday issued security guidelines for the Coldplay concerts that will be held on January 18, 19, and 21 at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
