On Sunday, September 22, at noon, excitement surged as tickets for Coldplay’s much-anticipated Music of the Spheres tour in India became available for shows scheduled on January 18 and 19. Fans eagerly awaited the chance to secure their spots for what promises to be an unforgettable experience. However, the ticketing platform faced significant technical difficulties that frustrated many hopeful attendees.
As the clock struck 12, a massive wave of users flooded the BookMyShow ticketing website and app, eager to purchase their tickets. Unfortunately, the online system struggled to handle the unprecedented demand. For numerous fans, the interface displayed a message indicating that bookings would be available shortly, while many who got in queue had 500K people awaiting ahead of them.
While some users managed to log in, their attempts to finalize purchases were met with disappointment. The platform's instability left many without the opportunity to complete their transactions, causing frustration and a sense of urgency among those determined to secure their tickets. Reports from fans highlighted a mixture of anticipation and dismay as they encountered various issues, from endless loading screens to error messages.
The hope was that organizers and platforms had prepared adequately for the surge, but the reality proved different. Many users expressed their dissatisfaction on social media, sharing their experiences and frustration with the process.
The Grammy-winning band, known for their electrifying performances and timeless hits, will perform two shows in Mumbai on January 18 and 19, 2025, at the iconic D.Y. Patil Sports Stadium.
