2 years later in ambanis grand sons naming ceremony Coldplay might serve hot dhoklas😂

[@utbhav]

Still not something to be proud of

[@vn_1]

​@@utbhav point is money buys everything

[@onidoremc9490]

They won't do this

[@princyy824]

And still they be getting paid much more than ur whole liftime income. Imagine grown up man taking proud in Billionaire family, bro they aint pick u duckriding is insane

[@nirupama8099]

And still he is far and far better in his life style than your roadside thought. Nowadays jealous is spreading like corona disease Get some sense man

[@umwelten988]

My guess is many people just wanted to book fast to sell them on black Market. And there are people who will buy those. And in the end tickets are going to people who can actually afford the concert.

[@Reality_Bitess]

It’s not a guess it’s true . They are just resellers using unethical tools to scalp the tickets .

[@CodeAviator05]

the event organizers and ticket booking platforms are the one who purchase the tickets and show that they sold at original price and pay taxes on the original amounts and later resell them for exorbitant amounts .. i have worked with a very popular platform and know the whole truth .

[@goodToBeConfidential]

I was feeling that something's fishy

[@tisha8253]

Is it true? I was kinda baffled how did they add a new show? It's all confusing.

[@TheYesitsme]

Super scam. This is where I guess people should be asked to buy tickets after showing their id card. So nobody gets to resale it. We fans keep waiting. And then don’t get tickets. And when we get their 1000x times.

[@FactsbyDrac]

Womp. Womp

[@neelanshukumar4308]

Yup exactly, they're fucking selling 3500 priced tickets in fucking 50,000.. fucking shit

[@may21136]

Not ID card. Ticket selling websites can take these measures: 1) One phone number/email can be used only for one account. 2) Single session policy: A user cannot open more than one session of the app at any time. 3) Set account age as a criteria for big ticket concerts. This will prevent people creating accounts just before a show. 4) One person can book only one ticket for a big ticket concert. 5) In case you have friends joining you in step 4, you can select them by their account after everyone booked. contiguous seat allocation should be done by the backend on first come first serve basis and viewing convenience. 6) Cancellation policy should be flexible. Bookmyshow can implement these very easily, but they WON'T. They want blackers to buy the tickets.

[@croco106]

All these years we assumed selling tickets in black was a crime. Now we know only if young men sell it outside the theaters , it is illegal. Some website selling it in broad daylight is legal.

[@anudeepaghosh]

this is what happens when you allow 4 tickets per individual. legit fans like us waited 3hrs in queue and still failed to get tickets while frauds are reselling them.

[@cstudentabdunderme510]

Better to listen on youtube than to go for concert. I cant afford my family but they are buying such ticket

[@divypatel24]

That's the annual package offered by IT firms 😂.

Wats with this lady, the more I see her the more she impresses me. Wow, pure class

[@vinaykumar-ld3yi]

When there are fools to buy, nothing wrong in selling even for 3.5 crores

[@sonu214]

If you cannot afford it why even bear malice or resentment towards it . Chris will be singing the same songs which are released in KZbin already . But for those who can afford it yet are unable to get tickets it is really a sad thing.

[@dgoenka1]

As population grows and standard of living improves, there is greater demand for these 'services'. So classic economics comes into play. But it could also be foul play by those concerned, who believe given the frenzy, they can receive such prices for the tickets.

[@saksham.18]

Even if you are a huge fan of the music, you can happily vibe on the music with your special ones on a long drive at night. The only drawback is that you won't win some social media likes.

[@SixerIverson04]

I would not waste my money on that or any of these concerts. Because I'm paying their bills and they are not paying mine. Also, I do not look up to these people because they make mistakes like us and do crazy stuff like us.

[@AbhijeetAnand-fr6dx]

You don't have enough money that's why you are jealous 😂😂 I have got the ticket and my friends too going to attend have an amazing night 😁✨

[@tanbirnr2389]

Everyone have something they like, probably Coldplay isn't your cup of tea. So stop pretending like you're doing any good to the society.

Don’t worry no one’s going to pay you and no one’s going to miss you. So chill.

[@Peace-f5c]

​@@surajnarkhede3664 WTF ? He's right though. Why would you spend unnecessary on someone? You could listen to them at your home too. Not everyone is like those iPhone fools.

[@surajnarkhede3664]

@@Peace-f5c I am okay with someone's personal choice of not wanting to go to a specific paid event if they can watch the same thing for free at home. It's not the same experience but everyone has their own priorities, and I respect that. My problem with his comment was about him saying "getting paid to see them". Who is he - Mozart or Beethoven or is he any head of state? I mean why does he think he is important enough to be paid to attend a musical performance - that too of a huge artist like Coldplay?.

[@HiIamme7878]

Pure Waste of money

[@vidhyadhar64]

Such a waste of Money. The Indian youth should support Indian music, dance and native artforms. If youth is attracted to such shows indicates failure in their bringup and the foreign biased schooling. On one hand there are a large number of budding Indian artists who need support and on the other hand youths are going for such shows. What a pity contradiction. I think the ticket buyers are not made aware of the rich Indian artforms in their schooldays. Hope the situation changes in the near future.

[@indanurag8503]

maybe people are fan of cold play because of the song like "hymn for weekend" seach this its related to india

[@YoutubeVagabond]

Music has no boundaries and people's tastes can't be controlled by nationalist sentiments.

[@orientalguy9462]

​​@@KZbinVagabond saying that, it's also a fact that the English language does help a music artist in terms of popularity and money, for example certainly there are many singers who are more talented and skilled than lets say Taylor Swift, but they aren't popular and don't get paid that much because they don't sing in english.

[@YoutubeVagabond]

@@orientalguy9462 actually English speaking underrated artists themselves don't get fame like Taylor Swift , only those who appeal to pop culture are successful. Taylor has huge following because her songs relate with many girls.

[@orientalguy9462]

@@KZbinVagabond compare the popularity of a successful singer who sings in english vs other successful singers who don't sing in english, the english singer would be way more popular and moneywise also than the other language singer, which proves my point.
