Coldplay Tickets in India: The Ultimate Hunger Games

It’s happening. Coldplay is coming to India. After years of humming Hymn for the weekend in the shower and daydreaming about singing Fix You live with 50,000 other fans, the moment has arrived. You’ve got alarms set, your mouse-clicking finger warmed up, and you’ve even performed a mini prayer to the Bookmyshow Gods. This is your time. Today, you’re getting those tickets. You are prepared for the apocalypse.

The clock strikes 12! But wait—what’s this? The moment sales open, it’s like you’ve entered a digital black hole. The website lags, then freezes, then crashes harder than your New Year’s fitness resolutions. You refresh desperately, watching as Bookmyshow mocks you in the face. Sweat beads on your forehead, your heart races, and you start to wonder if Chris Martin himself has cursed the servers. “Error 404: Happiness Not Found.”

Seconds turn into minutes, and then—Boom! There are 5,00,000 people ahead of you. Wait, What? How? From where? I was fast. (at least I thought so). And in no time - SOLD OUT. Just like that. All tickets gone faster than you can say Viva La Vida. You’re devastated. My Hymn for the weekend turns into an elegy.

But hold on, the story doesn’t end there. You find out—shock and horror—that these very tickets are now being resold online. Except now, they cost more than your EMI. Some websites are offering Coldplay seats at prices high enough to make your bank account curl up in the fetal position. After a few minutes of soul-searching (and a brief moment where you consider taking up robbery as a side hustle), you sigh! Maybe the closest you’ll get to hearing Sky full of Stars live is from your balcony or terrace.

But hey, Coldplay said, "Nobody said it was easy."
