Coldplay concert ticket sales spark wave of memes as BookMyShow collapses

The much-awaited ticket sale for Coldplay’s concert in India turned into a comedy frenzy on social media as the BookMyShow website crashed seconds before it was set to go live.

After an eight-year wait, the iconic British rock band is returning to India with three shows scheduled for January 18, 19 and 21, 2025 at the DY Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai. The highly anticipated event is part of their global Music of the Spheres World tour.

Tickets for the first two shows went on sale today at 12 PM Indian time on BookMyShow. However, the excitement overwhelmed the platform, which crashed seconds before the Mumbai shows went on sale. BookMyShow quickly recovered and resumed operations, with tickets for the January 18 and 19 shows selling out in no time.

While tickets for the first two days are no longer available, the sale process for the January 21st show is still ongoing, with fans eagerly trying to secure seats for the final show.

Meanwhile, ardent fans took to X to express their frustration and disappointment through hilarious memes. The hashtag #BookMyShow became a trend within minutes.

Check out some memes below:

The concert was initially scheduled for January 18 and 19, 2025. However, overwhelming response from fans prompted the band to add an additional night. The British rock band announced the new date for X, stating, “Due to phenomenal demand, a third date in Mumbai has been added at DY Patil Stadium on January 21, 2025. Tickets on sale from 2:00 PM India time today.”
