BookMyShow’s website and mobile application experienced a major crash right as ticket bookings for the much-anticipated performances by British band Coldplay began at 12 pm IST. This marks Coldplay’s return to India after a nine-year hiatus, with their last concert taking place in 2016.
The highly awaited concert is scheduled to be held at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on January 18 and 19, 2024. Fans were eager to secure their tickets, but the technical difficulties left many frustrated.
Netizens quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their dissatisfaction. One user wrote, “Dear @bookmyshow, if you get exclusive rights to sell a concert, at least be prepared for it. #Coldplayindia #Coldplay.” Another user lamented, “Yeah… I don’t think anyone is getting those Coldplay tickets in India… You tried, BookMyShow. Were you able to?”
As fans eagerly await further updates, the technical failures during such a crucial ticket launch have raised concerns about BookMyShow’s preparedness for high-demand events. The excitement for Coldplay’s return continues, with many hoping for a smoother ticketing process in the future.
