Unpacking the Controversy: BookMyShow and Coldplay Fans

By Adv Shoeb Hakim8 Nov 20241 min read

Fans have expressed their frustration with BookMyShow, alleging that the ticket sales for the Coldplay concert were poorly managed, with accusations of preferential treatment given to employees and influencers.

In a twist, tech-savvy individuals exploited the Inspect Element tool to uncover the “Buy Ticket” link before its official release, raising concerns about fairness in the ticketing process. Additionally, BookMyShow issued a cautionary statement advising against purchasing tickets from unauthorized sellers, as prices on these platforms skyrocketed to an astonishing ₹3 lakh, highlighting the risks associated with secondary market transactions.
