Amid “phenomenal demand” for tickets for Coldplay India 2025 tour, the British rock band on Sunday announced a third show to the Mumbai leg of its “Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025”.
The third show was announced hours after fans expressed disappointment over long virtual queues for the first two shows on the online ticket platform BookMyShow.
All three shows are sold out, according to BookMyShow’s website.
The online ticket platform said it implemented a queueing system to manage the overwhelming demand and also addressed issues caused by suspicious and malicious traffic within minutes.
According to reports, the server of BookMyShow website and app on Sunday crashed as it opened the sale for the British band’s concerts scheduled for next year.
A BookMyShow spokesperson said: “…We implemented a queueing system to manage the overwhelming demand and addressed issues caused by suspicious and malicious traffic within minutes, causing a brief delay, but ensuring minimal disruption for genuine fans. Due to the unprecedented demand, a third Mumbai show was added shortly thereafter, which also received a fantastic response…”
“Due to phenomenal demand, a third Mumbai date has been added at DY Patil Stadium for 21 January, 2025. Tickets on sale at 2PM IST today,” the coldplay said in a post on X (formerly twitter).
The tickets for the third show, to be held on January 21, 2025 at Mumbai’s DY Patil Sports Stadium, went live at 2 pm on BookMyShow.

According to BookMyShow, the sale for the tickets of the two shows on January 18 and 19, 2025, at Mumbai’s DY Patil Sports Stadium, was supposed to open at 12 noon.
The ticket prices range from ₹2,500 to ₹12,500, with ₹35,000 for lounge area, according to the platform’s website.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Coldplay’s return since their last India tour in 2016, and this announcement is sure to raise anticipation among them.
In a bid to make the concert accessible, Coldplay will also offer a limited number of ‘Infinity Tickets’, priced at the equivalent of Euro 20 (approximately ₹2000) per ticket. These will go on sale on November 22, 2024.
