00:00Fans were thrilled when Coldplay announced their Music of the Spears World Tour 2025,
00:06especially with concerts scheduled in Mumbai.
00:09However, ticket scalping has become a major issue with tickets being resold for outrageous
00:14amount.
00:15To combat this, Bookmai Show has now taken strong action and filed an FIR against resellers
00:22after tickets for Coldplay's concerts sold out within minutes.
00:27On October 2, the company lodged a formal complaint with Mumbai Police to investigate
00:32this illegal sales.
00:34They provided 27 mobile numbers linked to the reselling activity, aiming to clamp down
00:40on this black market practice.
00:42This company's spokesperson said that ticket scalping is illegal in India and punishable
00:48by law, stating that Bookmai Show has no affiliation with resellers and is committed to ensuring
00:54fair ticket access for fans.
00:57In response to these challenges, Bookmai Show is also working on providing physical tickets
01:03for the Coldplay concerts to prevent unauthorized resales.
01:07They are assessing the cancellation of tickets that were sold unethically and have been monitoring
01:12reselling activity across social media and platforms like Viagogo and StubHub.
01:19Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events with India's tickets selling out fast, many
01:24Coldplay fans have turned to Abu Dhabi as an alternative to catch the band live.
01:30Coldplay will be performing four shows in Abu Dhabi in January 2025 and Indian fans
01:36have flocked to the UAE due to similar ticket pricing and easier visa regulations.
01:42However, even in Abu Dhabi, ticket demand has been overwhelming, with fans struggling
01:48to get their hands on tickets.
01:50As Coldplay's India tour approaches, fans hope more concert dates will be added to meet
01:55the huge demand.
