Coldplay and BookMyShow have added a fourth concert date in Ahmedabad for the band's Music of the Spheres World Tour 2025. The newly announced show will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium on January 25, 2025, with tickets set to go on sale on November 16 at 12 p.m. This comes after tickets for Coldplay's initial India shows sold out in minutes, leading to reports of ticket scalping and widespread frustration among fans.

In September, Coldplay announced two shows for January 18 and 19 at Mumbai’s DY Patil Sports Stadium. But as tickets quickly vanished, a third show was added for January 21. However, the demand continued, prompting this fourth Ahmedabad date. For fans eager to avoid the chaos experienced during the initial sales, a Reddit user, going by the handle naaz_1801, has shared valuable insider tips for successfully securing tickets.

Top Tips To Book Coldplay Tickets

The Redditor's advice, based on experience with recent Coldplay and Kylie Minogue ticket purchases, has been widely shared by fans preparing for the November 16 sale. Here are the key tips to help navigate the process:

• Joining the Waiting Room: Join the online waiting room just before the ticket sale goes live. The user emphasises that the time of entry into the waiting room doesn’t influence your position in the queue, as numbers are assigned randomly. "Me and my two friends joined together, and I was at 8,000 in the queue, while my friends were 100,000+," they noted.

• Patience is Key: Once in the queue, avoid refreshing the page, as doing so will place you at the back. Wait patiently for the platform to redirect you to the selection page.

• Limit Tabs: Only open one tab per event date. The user suggests having just one tab for each concert date you’re interested in. Avoid refreshing or performing any actions on these tabs until you reach the ticket selection page. Once there, close other tabs to avoid being flagged as a bot.

• Ticket Selection Caution: Try not to change ticket choices more than three times, and if you must, allow a two-minute gap between changes. Quick changes are often detected as bot-like behaviour, which could result in being pushed to the back of the queue. The user learned this the hard way, saying, "It happened to me while booking Kylie Minogue – I’ll never forget it!"

• Use Different Devices: If using multiple devices, ensure each device is logged in with a separate account. Using the same account on multiple devices could lead to being flagged as a bot, disqualifying you from the sale.

• Avoid U305 Error: This error code indicates bot detection. To bypass it, switch to a different device or network (e.g., mobile data if you started with Wi-Fi). Reinstalling the app can also help reset the connection.

Preparation Before the Sale

The Redditor also shared some pre-sale tips to be ready when tickets go live:

• Log In Ahead of Time: Make sure you’re signed in well in advance, as time lost logging in can reduce your chances.

• Pre-fill Payment Information: Add your card details ahead of time. The site allows only five minutes to complete the payment process, so a delay could mean losing your spot.

• Coordinate with Friends: If you’re attending with friends, decide on seating zones beforehand. The user suggests staying on the phone with your group or discussing seat preferences the night before, as available seats can disappear quickly.

• Be Patient and Persistent: Above all, patience is essential. Some fans lose their queue position by clicking around too quickly or being marked as bots.

With these insights, fans hoping to catch Coldplay live in Ahmedabad on January 25 are encouraged to stay calm and prepared. BookMyShow anticipates another high-stakes ticket release, so early preparation could be the key to securing a seat.
