India Faces High Concert Ticket Prices: Coldplay and Diljit Dosanjh in Focus

Coldplay will perform three shows in Mumbai next January, but fans face steep resell prices up to 900,000 rupees. Originally priced between 2,500 and 12,000 rupees, allegations of ticket scalping have surfaced. Similar incidents were reported for Diljit Dosanjh's concerts, despite ticket scalping being illegal in India. The live music scene is booming, driven by significant demand for international artists.
Coldplay is scheduled to perform three shows in Mumbai in January as part of their Music of the Spheres world tour.

Concert tickets, originally priced between 2,500 rupees and 12,000 rupees, were quickly sold out on the official ticketing platform, BookMyShow.

Consequently, these tickets appeared on resale platforms for as much as 900,000 rupees.

Fans experienced long digital queues and site crashes, alleging ticket scalping as resellers listed tickets before the official release.

BookMyShow denies any involvement with reselling.

The issue of inflated resale ticket prices isn't new in India.

Similar instances occurred with tickets for Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh's concerts.

Despite ticket scalping being illegal, reselling continues due to high demand.

India's live music scene is growing with significant revenue generation, hosting international artists like Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa.

The high ticket demand is both cultural and economic, influenced by targeted marketing.

Experts urge that concert organizing should remain an entrepreneurial activity free of government interference.
