The much-awaited ticket sales for Grammy-winning band Coldplay's concerts in India kicked off at noon on Sunday (September 22), but fans faced immediate frustration when the online ticketing platform, BookMyShow, crashed shortly after the release. The site was down for about 20 minutes, creating a queue of over 7,00,000 eager fans hoping to secure their tickets for the band's return since their last visit in 2016.

Prior to the ticket launch, BookMyShow had reassured fans via their social media channels about the process, saying, "One user can book a maximum of 4 TICKETS across all shows! Tickets go live at 12 PM SHARP! Stay tuned." However, the site's inability to handle the high volume of traffic led to widespread complaints, with many questioning why BookMyShow was chosen as the ticketing partner given its previous mishaps, such as issues with World Cup ticket sales.
Once back online, the site remained overwhelmed as fans rushed to purchase their tickets for what promises to be an unforgettable musical experience. The concerts will feature tracks from Coldplay's acclaimed album Music of the Spheres, including new singles like "We Pray" and "feelslikeimfallinginlove," alongside beloved classics such as "Yellow," "Fix You," and "Viva La Vida." Attendees can expect a dazzling display of lasers, fireworks, and stunning LED visuals throughout the performances.
