People are very upset that Coldplay is playing the Super Bowl halftime show

A public interest litigation (<keyword id="19957723" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PIL" source="keywords">PIL</keyword>) has been filed in the <keyword id="19905533" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bombay-High-Court" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Bombay High Court" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Bombay High Court">Bombay High Court</keyword>, urging the establishment of stringent guidelines to curb <keyword id="21811854" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="black-marketing" source="keywords">black marketing</keyword> and <keyword id="23311384" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ticket-scalping" source="keywords">ticket scalping</keyword> for major events. The PIL comes in the wake of widespread concerns over alleged irregularities during the online sale of tickets for the British band Coldplay’s upcoming concert in Navi Mumbai, scheduled for January 2025.<br /><br />Filed by advocate Amit Vyas, the PIL highlights the growing menace of ticket scalping and black marketing at large-scale events, including concerts, live shows, and sports matches. The plea calls for a thorough investigation into illegal ticket sales and the manipulation of online ticketing platforms, with specific reference to Coldplay's highly anticipated concert.<br /><br />The plea was mentioned on Monday for urgent hearing before a division bench comprising Chief Justice D. K. Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar. Noting that a police inquiry into the matter was already underway, the court adjourned the hearing to November, after the Diwali vacation.<br /><h2>Allegations of <keyword id="23627270" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ticketing-irregularities" source="keywords">ticketing irregularities</keyword></h2>The PIL specifically alleges foul play during last month’s sale of tickets for Coldplay's concert on the popular online ticketing platform, <keyword id="20215809" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BookMyShow" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="BookMyShow" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="BookMyShow">BookMyShow</keyword>. According to the petition, many potential buyers were locked out of the website within minutes of the ticket sales opening, only to discover that the tickets had been sold out. Shortly thereafter, these same tickets appeared on secondary platforms at exorbitant prices, fueling suspicions of deliberate manipulation.<br /><br />Vyas, in his submission, noted that secondary websites were still selling tickets at inflated rates. He argued that this exploitative practice deprived fans of their right to fair access to entertainment, violating the <keyword id="20003683" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="consumer-protection" source="keywords">Consumer Protection</keyword> (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, which mandate fair and non-deceptive practices by e-commerce entities.<br /><br />The PIL underscored that this problem extends beyond the <keyword id="22044624" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Coldplay-concert" source="keywords">Coldplay concert</keyword>, pointing to similar issues during other major events, including the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches, the 2023 Cricket World Cup, and concerts of global artists like <keyword id="19897184" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="taylor-swift" source="keywords">Taylor Swift</keyword> and Diljit Dosanjh. In each case, fans were exploited through black market ticket sales, with prices soaring well above their official rates.<br /><br />According to Vyas, there is an urgent need for the government and judicial system to intervene, as ticketing platforms and event organisers are either complicit or failing to regulate secondary market sales effectively.<br /><h2>Call for stricter guidelines</h2>The plea calls for the Bombay High Court to lay down stringent guidelines to prevent the black marketing and touting of event tickets. Vyas has asked for a framework that would ensure transparency and fairness in <keyword id="23627269" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-ticket-sales" source="keywords">online ticket sales</keyword> and reduce the exploitation of fans.<br /><br />The PIL emphasises that the lack of proper regulations in India’s ticketing sector has allowed platforms like BookMyShow to bypass rules, leaving consumers vulnerable to deceptive practices. It urges the court to consider the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, as the basis for implementing stricter regulatory measures in the ticketing industry.<br /><h2>Ongoing police investigation</h2>Following last month’s irregularities, Vyas lodged a police complaint with the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai Police, which is currently conducting an inquiry. The PIL has highlighted the need for a more immediate judicial intervention to prevent further exploitation in upcoming events.<br /><br />As the Coldplay concert approaches, the spotlight remains on the High Court’s response to this plea and whether it will pave the way for reforms that will bring much-needed transparency and accountability to India’s ticketing industry. The court is expected to hear the matter again in November.<br /><br /><em>(With inputs from agencies)</em><br />

<br />
 Us, Indians and especially us, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=coldplay+fans&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Coldplay fans</a> love hoping against hope.<br />
<br />
We’ve wanted <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=coldplay&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Coldplay</a> to play in the country since years and after <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=chris+martin&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Chris Martin</a>’s impromptu gig last year in Delhi followed by the band’s secret video shoot in Mumbai this year, it seemed like our dream could come true anytime now.<br />
<br /> And, then we got the news. If rumours were to be believed, <keyword id="34647" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Coldplay">Coldplay</keyword> is all set to perform in Mumbai on November 19 at the NSCI stadium.<br />
Great news, right So we thought. Everyone in the country started crooning Fix You while making plans of saving up money for the tickets. Some, even started dreaming watching them live.<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a pretty good phase to live in- until the bubble burst.<br />
<br />
As it turned out, there was a slight catch. Watching Coldplay perform in India would come at a pretty hefty cost.<br />
<br />
According to Mid-Day, the ticket prices for their concert in Mumbai would range from Rs 25,000 to a whopping Rs 5 lakhs. Yep, that’s going to be the price of one ticket.<br />
<br />
If you feel like you don’t know why body part to auction to raise this amount, don’t worry, you’re not alone.<br />
<br />
Incase you were wondering, the official tickets are expected to go live on Book My Show on September 12 next week.<br />
<br /> The concert will be a part of <keyword id="6428354" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Chris-Martin">Chris Martin</keyword>'s Global Citizen Festival, created to mark the establishment of the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=united+nations&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">United Nations</a> Sustainable Development Goals.
