Coldplay's Mumbai concert in January 2025 sold out in minutes, leaving many fans disappointed. Soon after, tickets appeared on the black market at sky-high prices. Now, BookMyShow’s CEO has been summoned by Mumbai Police over an alleged ticket scam, leading to rumours that the concert might be cancelled.

Fans speculate Coldplay India Concert might get cancelled

Coldplay fans are voicing worries on X about the concert possibly getting cancelled due to ticketing scams. Many who missed out after waiting in the virtual queue shared their frustrations, but it's important to note that this is just speculation.

Here's how netizens are reacting:

My prediction: Coldplay will cancel the gig.

This is way too risky for them to land in India. There's every possibility that Mumbai Police will make them a party to this, however wrong it may be. https://t.co/yqTwbH3Iaq

If Coldplay gets canceled in India, it will showcase how ridiculous we are as a society and how, for the sake of money, people sacrificed their ethics by selling tickets on the black market.

The summons were issued in response to complaints about fake tickets for the highly anticipated Mumbai concert. Hemrajani has now been summoned again by Mumbai Police to appear on September 30 as the investigation unfolds.

This investigation is based on a complaint from advocate Amit Vyas, who accused the online ticketing platform of enabling scalpers and third-party sites to sell tickets at high prices. In response, BookMyShow has distanced itself from scalpers and warned fans about black market scams.
