Coldplay Ticket Scandal in India Sparks Police Investigation

Fans outraged as tickets for Mumbai concerts resell for thousands of dollars, prompting scrutiny of ticketing platform BookMyShow.

Coldplay fans in India faced technical glitches and long waits, only to find tickets sold out within minutes.
Tickets originally priced between $30 and $415 were resold on platforms like Viagogo for as much as $11,000.
BookMyShow, the official ticket vendor, experienced crashes and is accused of enabling scalpers to buy tickets in bulk.
Mumbai Police have summoned BookMyShow's CEO for questioning and are investigating allegations of ticket fraud and scalping.
BookMyShow denies any association with reselling platforms and has filed a police complaint against the sale of fake tickets.
