BookMyShow crashed seconds before Mumbai's Coldplay concert ticket went live

Anticipation and excitement are running high among music enthusiasts for Mumbai’s Coldplay concert, and this euphoria has captured the hospitality sector as well. Hotel prices in Mumbai are soaring due to the band’s arrival, with rates near the venue across Navi Mumbai skyrocketing to new levels.

The Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, located right next to DY Patil Stadium, is already fully booked for the nights of January 18th, 19th, and 21st on both Booking.com and Makemytrip.com.

The DY Patil Stadium is a multi-purpose sports arena in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Some of the rooms offer views of the stadium, so guests may have reserved them to watch the concert from their rooms. Others likely made reservations as they already have event tickets.

Another hotel The Park Navi Mumbai also witnessed a surge in demand. A comparison of rates between December and January rates clearly shows a high demand.

The entertainment and ticketing platform BookMyShow experienced a crash just seconds before going live with ticket sales for Grammy-winning band Coldplay’s concert.

The British band is set to return to India after nine years, with initial performances scheduled at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on January 18 and 19.

Due to overwhelming demand, Coldplay has added a third concert in the city after the first two shows sold out.

Coldplay confirmed that they have decided to host a third concert in the city.

The tickets for the new show, set to be held on January 21, went live at 2 pm on BookMyShow.

“Due to phenomenal demand, a third Mumbai date has been added at DY Patil Stadium for 21 January, 2025. Tickets on sale at 2 PM IST today,” Coldplay shared on X.

Coldplay’s last performance in India in 2016 was nothing short of legendary, with the crowd’s energy reaching a fever pitch. The same excitement was evident this time when tickets went on sale.

Coldplay will also release a limited number of Infinity Tickets, priced at €20 (around INR 2,000) each, available for purchase starting November 22, according to ANI.
