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)

The music giant’s full library of music will finally be available to users in India — including songs by Bruno Mars, <keyword id="34647" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Coldplay">Coldplay</keyword>, Ed Sheeran, Linkin Park and others. “Spotify and Warner Music Group are pleased to announce a renewed global licensing partnership. This expanded deal covers countries where Spotify is available today, as well as additional markets. The two companies look forward to collaborating on impactful global initiatives for Warner artists and songwriters, and working together to grow the music industry over the long term,” said a joint statement by the companies. The Indian music streaming industry is highly competitive with over 10 different music streaming apps in the market including local big wigs like Gaana, JioSaavn and Wynk. However, the Swedish music streaming app has been fighting its way through with one hand tied behind its back. The lawsuit by Warner Chappel Three days ahead of its launch in India, Spotify’s grand entry into one of the biggest music streaming markets in the world was marred by a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/spotify-india-launch-delayed-by-warner-music/articleshow/68165261.cms">lawsuit by Warner Chappel</a> — Warner Music Group’s local music publishing arm in February 2019. The Swedish music streaming app argued that it was using an Indian law, which allowed radio stations to play music from Chappel, to provide songs on its platform. However, it had to pull out millions of songs from its library as Chappel filed an injunction against Spotify. “WMG’s abusive behaviour would harm many non-Warner artists, labels and publisher, and prevent Spotify from competing in the market, leaving us no choice but to file for a statutory license,” the company <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/spotify-india-launch-delayed-by-warner-music/articleshow/68165261.cms">told Business Insider</a> at the time. Blaise Fernandes, CEO of the Indian Music Industry (<a href="https://thenextweb.com/in/2020/02/07/indias-streaming-music-market-is-now-200-million-strong-but-hardly-anyones-paying-for-it/">IMI</a>), estimates that there are around 200 million people in India who are streaming music. While the demand for music is huge, people don’t want to dip into their pockets to listen to songs. The disparity has made it hard for international giants to find their footing in India. This is true not just for Spotify but also other players like Apple and the newly-launched Resso.

see today

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. 
 
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. 
 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. 
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. 
 
All in all, it was a pretty good phase to live in- until the bubble burst. 
 
As it turned out, there was a slight catch. Watching Coldplay perform in India would come at a pretty hefty cost. 
 
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. 
 
If you feel like you don’t know why body part to auction to raise this amount, don’t worry, you’re not alone. 
 
Incase you were wondering, the official tickets are expected to go live on Book My Show on September 12 next week. 
 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.

Coldplay wants you to shell out Rs 25,000 to 5 lakh for a ticket to see them perform in India

Yes, <keyword id="6428354" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Chris-Martin">Chris Martin</keyword> was in Delhi and yes you missed his impromptu gig at Summerhouse Café in Delhi. 
 It was a typical case of an owner’s pride and neighbour’s envy when a usual Wednesday night turned into one of the most happening ones as <keyword id="34647" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Coldplay">Coldplay</keyword>’s Chris Martin walked into the bar and played songs- Viva la vida, and Paradise. 
 
Lucky ones termed it as a moment of a lifetime and clicked pictures with the international star, who was at the café with All India Bakchod’s Tanmay Bhat, actress Freida Pinto, singers Vishal Dadlani, Raghu Dixit and men from comedy collective.

The gig was arranged in 10 minutes by the café as it was not a planned one. Kudos to Summerhouse Café as it arranged for bouncers, sound mixing console and other works within 10 minutes. 
 
So what if international artists like Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Mark Ronson, Hardwell, turn up at your café, will you be ready? 
 
We list for you 5 bars that promise to be ready under 30 minutes to host a gig by an international star. Ensure you regular these watering holes more often now, just in case someone decided on an impromptu gig!

This cookery and drinkout missed out on Martin by a whisker but says it will be ready in no time to host a gig by an international star. 
“We are lined up with best console and arrangements and will take us not more than 6-7 minutes to be prepared for a gig like Martin did. We already have Nikhil Chinapa playing for us and would love to have Axwell playing for us,” said co-owner of Backyard, Anukool Kumar. 
 
Hard Rock Café, Select City Walk 
 
 
Organising a last minute show is relatively very easy as we have a huge database of experienced musicians who can play at a moment’s notice, the café claimed. 
 
It was honest enough to say that they would take some time for sound check and backline but on a confirmed note it informed, “30 minutes is more than enough.” 
 
Café Delhi Heights, Select City Walk 
 
 
 
Owner Vikrant Batra is also confident that Delhi Heights will organise any gig within 30 minutes. 
"We are equipped with latest technology and operational efficiency and many times such impromptu events shape up better than many well planned ones. It not only adds to the surprise element for the customers present at the restaurant, it also gives them a reason to come back to the restaurant and reminisce the enjoyment,” said Batra. 
 
Café Terminus 1, Vasant Kunj 
 
When contacted, this café too gave a thumbs up and claimed to be prepared within half an hour. 
 
Rodeo, Connaught Place 
 
Rishi Kumar, General Manager at Rodeo, said that they are always ready with basic requirements like sound set-up and security. “In case of any celebrity playing, we need to be extra cautious due to huge popularity. Once the guidelines are understood, any special requirements by artists can also be addressed without any hassle within 30 minutes,” he added. 
 
For those who missed, Here is Chris Martin's gig:

She fights Black Pumas, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Post Malone for the trophy.

The Coldplay performance in the country had to manage a massive crowd of 80,000. And, there is one company arranging it all. Based out of Mumbai, The Production Crew Entertainment is the behind-the-scenes partner to events with A-list stars and DJs across the world. Founded nine years ago by friends Dinesh Shetty, Vikas Menon and his brother Vevek Menon, The Production Crew handles everything right from production, operations and security. 
 <div type="image" title="IMG-20190604-WA0006" msid="69646685" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;From left Vikas Menon, Vevek Menon and Dinesh Shetty&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>



 The events industry has just found its footing in the country. But it is growing fast with more global artistes making their way to the country every year. According to <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/media/entertainment/media/events-industry-to-cross-rs-10000-crore-by-fy21-report/articleshow/60454703.cms?from=mdr">reports</a>, the Indian events industry is expected to cross ₹100 billions by 2021. At a Bigger Scale The scale of these events is growing with each passing year. More and more international stars and DJs are signing up to come to India. And these massive events require an integrated company to co-ordinate management. Nine years back, The Production Crew started off as a specialised manpower support to event companies. As they started picking up projects, they spotted a big opportunity. “There was a big scope in the industry where the event manager and the production world weren’t working on the same line. We were all production directors and we decided to bring production specialization to events, bring the creative thought process of an artiste to life,” said Vikas. Today, the Production Crew has presence across cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Ahmedabad and Goa. The coming of tech The Indian events industry, especially in the music scene still has a long way to go. “India is more manpower driven, it should be less on manpower and more on technology. We are trying to bring tech into the industry,” said Shetty. Be it the uber-popular Sunburn or the vh1 Supersonic with DJs like Marshmello performance or Disney musicals like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast or the 112-feet Adiyogi statue unveiling with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the company managed it all– from permissions for venues, to understanding stability of the structure, everything. Starry demands “Meeting the expectations of international stars is a huge task. They have experiences with different and more advanced technological products. Here in India, we have to bring multiple partners into the game to deliver a product like that,” said Vikas. On the top of craziest requests is still Justin Bieber’s demand for a jacuzzi on the third floor in his green room! So, are there any challenges of being in this industry? “Lack of sleep,” said Shetty with a smile.
