Hyderabad: In a dramatic turn of events, ticket sales for Coldplay's highly anticipated Mumbai concert faced major disruptions when BookMyShow crashed just seconds before the sale began. Fans eagerly awaited the opportunity to secure their tickets for the iconic British band's performances on January 18 and 19, 2025, at D.Y. Patil Sports Stadium. The crash led to widespread disappointment, with many taking to social media to vent their frustrations over the situation.
After a brief period of downtime, BookMyShow managed to bring the site back online, but the excitement quickly turned into anxiety as fans encountered long online queues. Some users reported seeing messages indicating there were "six lakh people ahead" in the ticketing line, magnifying the already heightened anticipation surrounding the concert. Coldplay's return to India marks its first performance since 2016, and the demand for tickets has reached unprecedented levels, leading to the addition of a third concert on January 21, 2025.
The stadium has a capacity for 62000 people,
