While excited fans rushed to book the tickets, most fans unfortunately couldn’t get their hands on them despite the band adding an extra show due to overwhelming demand. Not all tickets were booked by fans as a lot of tickets showed up on re-selling platforms and social media, with scalpers charging a bomb for these tickets. With tickets costing as much as ₹3.65 lakh on re-selling platforms such as Viagogo, there’s another option for Coldplay fans to see their favourite band perform without burning a hole in their pocket. <h2>Watch Coldplay perform in Abu Dhabi</h2>As part of the <keyword id="23232180" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Music-of-the-Spheres-World-Tour" source="keywords">Music of the Spheres World Tour</keyword>, Coldplay will perform at Zayed Sports City Stadium on January 11, 2025.

the general sale which will begin on September 27 at 1:30 PM IST. The pre-sale on Live Nation will begin on September 26 at 1:30 PM IST. <h3>Flight tickets</h3> As per various flight booking platforms, round-trip tickets from Delhi to Abu Dhabi in January 2025 will cost around ₹21,000 for an economy ticket. <h3>Visa fees</h3>You can apply for an Express UAE Visa, which costs ₹820 for a 48-hour stay and ₹2,650 for a 96-hour stay. <h3>Hotel and more</h3>The cost of a hotel stay is completely dependent on what kind of hotel you want to stay at, the kind of room you are looking for and more. It can either be an affordable option to keep the costs down or a premium option if you wish to splurge Three-star Hotel options within a 10 km radius of the stadium start around ₹15,000 per day for two adults. Apart from these expenses, you can add a bit more for food, transportation, sightseeing and more. Setting aside ₹15,000 for transportation, ₹20,000 for food and some amount for miscellaneous expenses might be wise. You can extend your stay and make a trip out of the concert instead of paying exorbitant amounts to scalpers in the country.

Coldplay announces new show in Mumbai on January 21: How to book tickets, timings, and all you need to know

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. 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. 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. <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. 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. 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. 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. <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. 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. <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. 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. (With inputs from agencies)

Coldplay concert chaos aftermath: PIL filed in Bombay HC to demand stricter controls over online ticket sales

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Armed with a credit card and a dream, Daniel Jailani set off to see the Eras Tour as many times as possible.</li><li>Going to 10 shows across four countries cost him $4,280 in tickets, flights, hotels, and outfits. </li></ul>Daniel Jailani, a 24-year-old legal counsel from Singapore and a hardcore Taylor Swift fan, was laser-focused on catching as many of his idol's Eras Tour shows as possible.Even if it meant using up almost all his paid time off, he traveled to Australia, France, and the United Kingdom to catch 10 of Swift's three-and-a-half-hour-long concerts.Jailani said Swift is his favorite artist of all time. Growing up gay in a conservative Muslim family in Singapore, he said: "Her music transported me to a place where I was not stuck in my very difficult reality."He added that he lived vicariously through Swift's music in his formative years."And at that point in time, her music was about high school and falling in love with boys, so that's how she allowed me to experience all that," he said.In five months, Jailani has taken six flights, tailored eight concert outfits himself, and spent $4,279.76 to see the shows.He said that the main motivation to see Swift across multiple nights was to catch her three surprise songs every night, which are not in her set list of 46 songs and are unique to each city.He's not done yet and plans to attend one last show in London in August.Here's what the whole experience cost him, according to receipts and invoices verified by Business Insider.<h2 id="157fc0ed-0d4f-482f-8b7c-3dc8669976ca">$2,242.22 for concert tickets</h2>While some <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-ticketmaster-fiasco-doj-lawsuit-2024-5">struggled with purchasing even a single ticket</a> to see Swift, Jailani managed to snag 11 with the help of his friends, family, and strangers on TikTok.He attended one night in Melbourne, all six nights in Singapore, two in Lyon, and one in London, with one more — Swift's August show at Wembley Stadium — left.

I stop eating at 4 and I learned that from having lunch with Bruce Springsteen," said Martin."I was lucky enough to go over there to lunch the day after we played Philadelphia last year. I was on a really strict diet anyway. But I was like, 'Bruce looks even more in shape than me.'"Martin said Springsteen's wife, Patti, then told him that the legendary rocker is only "eating one meal a day.""I was like, 'Well, there we go. That's my next challenge,'" Martin added.The "Yellow" singer did not disclose what his regular meal consists of, but joked with O'Brien that Springsteen eats "flank of buffalo with a steroid sauce."Springsteen, 73, released his debut album, "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.," in 1973 and is showing no signs of slowing down.The rocker released his 21st studio album, "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_the_Strong_Survive_(Bruce_Springsteen_album)" target="_blank" title="" rel="noopener">Only the Strong Survive,"</a> last year and <a href="https://brucespringsteen.net/news/2022/2023-tour-announcement/">will tour Europe with The E Street Band from April to July.</a>Appearing as a guest on country singer <a href="https://music.apple.com/gb/station/bruce-springsteen/ra.1547207435">Tim McGraw's Apple Music podcast, "Beyond The Influence," in November 2022,</a> "The Boss" credited his longevity to his diet."The biggest thing is diet, diet, diet. I don't eat too much, and I don't eat bad food, except for every once in a while when I want to have some fun for myself," he said."So I think anybody that's trying to get in shape, exercise is always important of course, but diet is 90% of the game.""I lift a little weight to stay toned, I may get on the treadmill. I walk, I don't run anymore," Springsteen added.

The spokesperson said these kinds of vacations are "consistently popular" and that it selects artists that appear to both "young people and the older generations.""Imagine Dragons and Snoop Dog are the choice of young people.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Argentina's economic burdens have spawned a number of dollar-peso exchange rates.</li><li>It's the result of the government's capital restrictions on dollar outflows.</li></ul>Argentina's presidential race, which features a candidate who wants to ditch the peso for the US dollar, has highlighted the country's byzantine currency system.There are more than a dozen different peso-dollar exchange rates that are meant to stem outflows of the greenback, which is in short supply as Argentina's hyperinflation has made the peso among the world's worst performing currencies. With massive dollar-denominated debts, the peso is not a free-floating currency. There's an official rate, but also a "blue dollar" rate determined by an underground exchange of greenbacks that's free of governmental controls.As there are no limits on blue dollar purchases, Argentines are more willing to purchase them at a premium, especially as they show a <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/dollarization-argentina-firms-tech-sector-dollar-peso-milei-greenbacks-currency-2023-8?_gl=1*wu2lmy*_ga*MTMxNDIwNDI1Ni4xNjc1Njg3OTU4*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY5Mjk3OTE4OS41LjEuMTY5Mjk4MTc5MS42MC4wLjA.">preference for the greenback</a> in daily transactions. So while the official peso rate stood at just under 350-per-dollar on Friday, the blue dollar rate was 715. Other exchange rates are not spin-offs designed to evade currency restrictions, but are actually organized by the government.For example, the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/argentinas-latest-soy-dollar-scheme-sees-few-takers-first-day-2023-04-10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soy dollar</a> is focused on specific sectors to offer preferential rates and improve trade flows. Dollars meant for investors and firms also exist, to help boost market activity.There's also a rate for tourists known as the MEP dollar. And the Qatar dollar was established during the World Cup last year when thousands of Argentines traveled to cheer on their national team in the Middle Eastern country. Then there's the "Coldplay dollar" — a recent addition for concert-going fans who are spending money abroad."They're usually kind of a last resort that policymakers use if they're in really dire condition if the economy's in really dire condition," Monica de Bolle, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said of the myriad rates.But this bizarre currency system may cease to exist as the country weighs scrapping the peso altogether.Argentina is set to vote on its next president in October, and frontrunner Javier Milei wants to <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/argentina-peso-usd-javier-milei-presidential-candidate-dollarize-economy-primary-2023-8?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dollarize the nation</a>, effectively dissolving the peso."The moment you dollarize, all of these exchange rates cease to matter. So they disappear from night to day because pesos disappear," de Bolle told Insider.For her part, she considers Milei's plan as both improbable and economically catastrophic, given that the sudden dollarization, paired with Argentina's shortage of greenback reserves, would lay the groundwork for a severe recession.But in the meantime, Argentines must continue to navigate the labyrinthine currency system, which could even get more complicated."The moment the government starts going down this path, it becomes very fast," de Bolle said. "It just becomes a slippery slope because different segments of the economy, different sectors are going to have different needs."

I started being like, 'Oh my God, and I need to quit my job and I need to sell my house and I need to move.' It's sort of putting things into turmoil," Paltrow said, per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/style/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-health-wellness-summit-quotes-best-advice-2024-1235880253/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.Paltrow has two children, Apple and Moses, with her ex-husband Coldplay front man <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chris-martin-eats-one-meal-day-bruce-springsteen-2023-3">Chris Martin</a>. Apple is enrolled at Vanderbilt University, while Moses is set to attend Brown University in the fall, per The Hollywood Reporter.In 2018, Paltrow married <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gwyneth-paltrow-says-husband-reminds-her-of-late-dad-2023-11">Brad Falchuk</a>, who also has two kids from his previous marriage."My identity has been being a mother," Paltrow said. "So I've oriented my whole life around them and their schedules and when school starts."The Goop founder shared that she was slowly learning to let her children be more independent."You start to let go in increments when they're driving themselves around or doing certain things. It is a slower process," she said.Navigating this transition period isn't easy, but Paltrow added that she had support from a group of close friends who were also mothers."Psychologist-astrologist Jennifer Freed said, 'I would like you to think of it as being free birds instead of having an empty nest.' And that resonates," Paltrow said. "Instead of creating a sense of loss, what if I were free? And I could say yes to a girls' weekend because I didn't feel guilty. That kind of thing."This isn't the first time Paltrow has spoken about becoming an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/empty-nester-traveled-alone-first-time-2023-8">empty nester</a>.Last month, she told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/gwyneth-paltrow-life-after-50-and-how-my-dads-death-changed-me-xvg6vq85c">The Times</a> about the "incredible sadness" she feels knowing that her kids are growing up and leaving the house."A deep sense of impending grief," Paltrow said. "On the other hand this is exactly what should be happening. Your kids are supposed to be, you know, young adults who can achieve and cope and make connections and be resilient. That's exactly what you want. And that means they leave the house."Becoming an empty nester can bring about feelings of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lonely-empty-nester-sons-went-to-college-2023-8">loneliness</a>.When dealing with empty nest syndrome, Dr. Jessica Sosso, a family medicine physician in Wisconsin, suggests that parents continue to regularly keep in touch with their kids through phone calls and video chats, per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/how-you-can-enjoy-the-empty-nest">Mayo Clinic.</a> She also recommends that empty nesters use this time as an opportunity to reconnect with each other or engage in personal interests and hobbies.

"I've never been visited by myself in the future. And so I think if that happened to me, I would not make the decision."Edebiri referred to a well-known paradox of time travel used in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/christopher-nolan-peloton-instructor-movie-criticism-video-tenet-2024-1">Christopher Nolan movie "Tenet,"</a> which explains that alterations to the past via time travel are possible but that those changes were predestined. This is also known as the ontological, or<a target="_blank" href="https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a41600521/bootstrap-paradox/"> bootstrap, paradox</a>.There are several other theories about meeting your past self that could have a whole load of unintended consequences. Some say a meeting cannot happen between you and your past self because it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/backward-time-travel-physics-2016-1">doesn't make sense</a>: If you meet up with your past self and change the course of your future, then the older version of you ceases to exist.Other theories include that changing the past could create an alternate universe — think <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/avengers-endgame-science-advisor-time-travel-theories-2019-5">"Avengers: Endgame."</a>And, of course, there is the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/time-travel-possible-changing-past-isnt-physics-says-2020-9">disputed butterfly effect</a> — a theory that changing the past could endanger or greatly alter the future.Even though Edebiri will not be visiting her past self, it doesn't mean the rest of us can't get a chance to meet the starlet before fame (you know, if time travel does turn out to be real).Personally, I would like to visit the past Edebiri of 2012, who was posting sick <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/G29Nz8z18Q4?si=4W6MjrCM19GlbBrz">Coldplay covers</a> on YouTube.Reps for Edebiri did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
