It has been reported that Coldplay has registered a new song called “Wedding song” at ASCAP.
The excitement surrounding Coldplay’s upcoming concerts in Ahmedabad has captivated India, with fans eagerly trying to purchase tickets as soon as they went on sale. Within minutes, both shows sold out, resulting in a mix of exhilaration and disappointment among music lovers. While some fortunate fans were able to secure tickets, many others were left without any. The ticketing experience quickly became a popular topic of discussion on social media.
One of the fortunate ones, Jhanvi Grewal, an Ahmedabad professional, was overjoyed to secure four tickets for herself and her friends. She recounted the intense process of buying the tickets, where users were randomly assigned queue numbers after entering the virtual waiting room. Competing against over 280,000 people in line, Jhanvi and her friends were thrilled to finally get tickets in the lower stands for Rs 4,200 each.
“It was worth the wait. We’re all so excited!” she said, eager to experience the concert.
As the ticketing chaos unfolded, social media served as a platform for fans to express their frustrations and share their experiences. While some praised the improvements in Ahmedabad’s ticketing process compared to Coldplay’s show in Mumbai, others noted that India’s online platforms still have significant room for improvement.
Nirjari Shah, an Ahmedabad-based entrepreneur, recalled how smooth her ticketing experience was when she attended a Coldplay concert in Singapore. “It was so much easier there. India really needs to catch up when it comes to these kinds of events,” she commented, underscoring the gap in ticketing infrastructure.
The Coldplay ticket saga in Ahmedabad not only reflected the excitement surrounding the band’s visit but also shed light on the struggles fans face when trying to access high-demand events. It’s a reminder of the challenges of securing tickets in a digital age and the ongoing need for better management of these processes in India.
