If you were in India and had 900,000 rupees ($10,800; £8,000), what would you buy? A car? A trip around the world? Diamond jewellery? Or a Coldplay concert ticket? The British rock band is set to perform three shows of their Music of the Spheres world tour in Mumbai next year and the tickets are being sold for obscene amounts on reselling platforms,

There are allegations that tickets for Coldplay’s concert, originally priced at Rs 2,500, are being resold by third-party brokers and influencers for exorbitant amounts, reaching up to Rs 3 lakh

The band's fanbase stretches across the globe, with a particularly strong following in both the UAE and India. Many Indian fans, unable to get tickets for Coldplay's concerts in India due to sky-high demand and resales reaching Rs300,000 , are now making plans to travel to Abu Dhabi to witness the band live.
