Indians are welcoming Coldplay to the country after nine long years, and how! The demand for the British boy band’s India tour has reached fever pitch. After the first two Mumbai concerts sold out in record time, Coldplay announced an additional show on January 21. “Due to phenomenal demand, a third Mumbai date has been added at DY Patil Stadium for 21 January, 2025. Tickets on sale at 2PM IST today,” Coldplay shared. However, the frenzy shows no signs of slowing down as the queue for tickets to this third concert saw a 11 lakh people join within a single minute.
The ticket sales for the third show, that Coldplay added after “phenomenal demand”, went live at 2 pm on BookMyShow on Sunday, and within a minute, 11 lakh people joined. All three concerts will take place at Mumbai’s iconic DY Patil Stadium. While many shared their frozen screens online as BookMyShow’s website and app crashed, others expressed their frustration over the long wait time.
“Three concerts of Coldplay were announced in Mumbai and tickets went live today. Legit 7 lakh+ people have been in queues since 12 PM to book their tickets of different shows, just to see ‘Sold-out’ written there after hours of trying,” wrote an individual on X.

A third urged the ticketing site, BookMyShow, to fix their platform.
Shocked that so many people are going crazy for the #ColdplayMumbai concert! @bookmyshow , please sort out your platform! It's impossible to book tickets with a 60K-person queue. This is ridiculous! ❌ pic.twitter.com/8VkKVzzNf8— Rahul Kumar Pandey (@raaahulpandey) September 22, 2024
“In India, even 3 shows with 50K people capacity are not enough for Coldplay concert,” expressed a third and we all agree.

Tickets for all three shows, limited to four per user, have completely sold out. However, there’s still a chance to catch the Grammy-winning band live! You can grab Infinity Tickets priced at ₹2,000 each. Each person is allowed to purchase a maximum of two Infinity Tickets, giving fans another opportunity to experience the concert. These limited tickets will go live on November 22 at 12 pm on BookMyShow.
“A limited number of Infinity Tickets are released for every Coldplay show to give fans the chance to attend the Music Of The Spheres World Tour at a super low price. They cost the equivalent of £20 / $20 / €20 per ticket and must be brought in pairs. Infinity Tickets are randomly allocated anywhere in the venue – from the back row to the floor to the best seat in the house,” Coldplay shared on their website.
