After BookMyShow crashes, Coldplay announces third date in Mumbai

Coldplay

Lakhs of fans of Coldplay in India were waiting with bated breath on Sunday morning to book their tickets for the band's concert in January next year. With a seating capacity of 50000, the tickets were expected to get sold out in seconds. It was a race against time but seems like the BookMyShow application was not ready for such a load. The application and website of the ticket booking service crashed minutes before the tickets went live at 12 pm.

While some could get inside the application, the ticket booking had yet not begun and was reportedly malfunctioning. Some people who managed to get into the ticketing platform were place in queue. Some got numbered at as far as 5 lakh. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 50k.

An hour after tickets went live, observing the demand Coldplay added a new date.

Known for belting out hits such as "Paradise", "A Sky Full Of Stars", 'The Scientist" and "Fix You", British rock band Coldplay is set to take the stage in India's entertainment capital, Mumbai for the second time. They will be performing on January 18 and 19 at the D.Y. Patil Sports Stadium in Nerul, Navi Mumbai, as a part of the band's Music of the Spheres World Tour.
