Coldplay’s highly anticipated India tour is facing significant challenges as the CEO of BookMyShow, Ashish Hemrajani, has been summoned by the Mumbai Police due to allegations of black-market ticket sales.
A formal complaint lodged by lawyer Amit Vyas accuses the platform of engaging in unethical practices that prevented genuine fans from accessing tickets, ultimately leading to their resale at inflated prices. In response to the growing controversy, the Shiv Sena party has called for a thorough investigation into potential illegal activities, including money laundering. While BookMyShow firmly denies any involvement with third-party sellers and is cooperating with the authorities, public pressure continues to mount, raising concerns about the legitimacy of ticket sales and the overall future of the tour.
As it stands, tickets purchased through the platform remain valid, but uncertainty looms over whether Coldplay will perform in India amid these allegations. Fans are left anxious, hoping for a resolution that ensures access to tickets at fair prices.
