BookMyShow, an online ticket aggregator, has filed a police complaint regarding the purported sale of counterfeit tickets for Coldplay's Mumbai concert on certain platforms.
BookMyShow serves as the official ticketing partner for Coldplay's concerts.
According to a statement released by BookMyShow, the company is not affiliated with any ticket-selling or reselling platforms, such as Viagogo and Gigsberg, or with third-party individuals who are attempting to resell tickets for Coldplay's Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 in India.
The act of scalping is strongly denounced and is subject to legal consequences in India. BookMyShow has reported the issue to the police authorities and is fully cooperating with the investigation.
The online ticket aggregator further appealed to people not to fall victim to these scams. Tickets bought from unauthorised sources are at the consumer's risk and can turn out to be fake tickets.
Coldplay is returning to India after eight years. The band's concerts are scheduled for January 18, 19, and 21, 2025, in Mumbai.
Scalping refers to the practice of buying tickets in bulk for events and concerts with the intent to resell them at a significantly higher price.
The highly anticipated Coldplay concert in Mumbai in January 2025 has been clouded by concerns over ticketing scams on BookMyShow. Millions of fans are vying for a limited number of tickets.
