Coldplay Craze: How a Ticketing App Turned into a Comedy Show!

Coldplay’s concert tickets are hotter than a curry at a hawker centre! BookMyShow crashes as fans scramble to grab tickets for the legendary band’s upcoming India gigs!

Get ready, Singapore! Coldplay is set to ignite the stage at the D.Y. Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai on January 18 and 19, 2025, and the excitement is palpable. BookMyShow, the go-to ticketing platform for many concert-goers, has opened ticket sales for this long-awaited event. Just imagine gorgeous melodies echoing through the stadium while passionate fans sing along. However, things took a hilarious turn when BookMyShow decided to play hard to get—crashing seconds before tickets were released!

As the clock struck noon, devoted Coldplay fans flocked to their screens, eagerly waiting to snag their tickets. However, the site had other plans: a crash that had fans feeling more like onlookers at a circus than attendees of a concert. Social media soon lit up with memes like 'SoldPlay' and comments from frustrated readers who were left hanging. "So close yet so far,” one fan lamented. At this point, it seemed that securing a spot at the concert might require more than just determination; perhaps a good luck charm or a dancing banana!

The madness didn’t just end there! The hype can be credited to the band’s incredible return to India after a staggering nine years—with fans nostalgic for songs like 'Fix You' and 'Viva La Vida.' But did you know that this will be Coldplay’s third performance in the city? The demand was so intense that they added a third show amid extraordinary ticket-tease mishaps! It’s as if the universe decided that fans needed a little more excitement on their hands.

In a world where booking concert tickets feels more like a battlefield than an event, this isn't the first time we've seen how chaotic ticket sales can be. Big names like Taylor Swift and BTS also left fans frustrated due to overrun ticketing sites. But alas, while we can’t control the technical gremlins, we can certainly laugh about it. Don’t forget to tune back in for the rescheduled ticket release date— and maybe bring along that dancing banana, just in case!
