The British rock sensation Coldplay is all set to expand their much-anticipated India tour by adding a fourth concert in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. As part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, the band—comprising Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and Will Champion—will take the stage at the Narendra Modi Stadium on January 25, 2025. Tickets for this massive show go on sale starting November 16, 2024, at 12 PM IST, exclusively on BookMyShow.
Coldplay’s Ahmedabad Announcement Ignites Excitement
Coldplay’s official Instagram account shared the news in a vibrant video announcement, stating, “2025 AHMEDABAD DATE ANNOUNCED. The band will play their biggest ever show, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 25 January, 2025. Tickets on sale 16 November at 12 PM IST. Delivered by DHL.” This announcement follows the overwhelming response to Coldplay’s initial concert dates in Mumbai, where all three shows sold out within hours, sparking a wave of enthusiasm—and a scramble for tickets—across social media.
Ticketing Warnings and Safety Tips for Fans
After the rapid sell-out of the Mumbai shows, numerous fans reported issues with online ticketing fraud on unauthorized platforms. In response, BookMyShow and its affiliated accounts issued a stern warning, urging concertgoers to avoid unverified ticketing sites and purchase only through BookMyShow, the official ticketing partner for Coldplay’s tour in India.
Their statement highlighted the prevalence of ticket scalping and warned fans to steer clear of black-market tickets. “Protect Yourself from Ticket Scams! Don’t fall prey to unauthorized platforms selling fake tickets for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025 in India. Ticket scalping is illegal in India and punishable by law,” they advised. This cautionary note underscores the legal risks and potential losses involved in buying from unofficial sources.
Mumbai Police EOW Steps In
Amid the concert frenzy, concerns over ticket black marketing have also drawn the attention of Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW). The EOW has taken proactive steps by summoning Ashish Hemrajani, CEO and co-founder of BookMyShow, along with the company’s technical head, to investigate claims of black marketing and scalping associated with Coldplay’s concert tickets. This move aims to protect consumer interests and maintain transparency in high-demand event ticket sales.
A Momentous Concert for Indian Fans
Coldplay’s addition of Ahmedabad to their Indian tour lineup marks a special occasion, allowing fans in Gujarat and beyond a chance to witness their favorite band live. With an unmatched blend of rock, energy, and visual spectacle, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour promises to deliver an unforgettable experience in what will be their biggest show yet in India. As the concert date nears, fans are advised to stay vigilant, buy tickets only from authorized sources, and gear up for an electrifying night on January 25, 2025.
