Coldplay tickets for $11,000? Uproar in India after tickets sold out in minutes and resold for outrageously high prices



Fans eagerly awaiting the return of Coldplay to India were shocked to find tickets being resold online for as much as $11,000, prompting police to seek a statement from the CEO of the shows’ vendor over allegations of fraud.



Tickets were scheduled to go on sale by the official vendor, BookMyShow (BMS), at 12 p.m. local time on September 22. But for many users, the website and app crashed amid the demand.



Within minutes, the tickets were sold out and reappeared on other platforms for as much as 960,000 rupees ($11,458), sparking anger over the purchase process and the suspected use of bots to scoop up seats.



Amit Vyas, a lawyer and founding partner of Mumbai law firm Vertices Partners, filed a complaint with police, alleging the online ticketing platform made tickets available to scalpers and third-party websites for resale on the black market.
