Like many of you, I was excited to see Coldplay live. I logged into BookMyShow, only to find myself stuck in a never-ending queue of over 999,999 people. By the time I reached the front, tickets were either sold out or being resold at sky-high prices on viagogo. The recent ticket chaos highlighted major issues: -Huge online queues making it nearly impossible for genuine fans to get tickets. -Tickets being resold at inflated prices, turning concerts into profit opportunities for scalpers. -Scalpers and bots snapping up tickets before real fans have a chance. A Simple Fix: -Personalized Tickets: Assign each ticket to a buyer's name and require ID verification at the venue. -Reduce Scalping: This makes it difficult for scalpers to resell tickets, ensuring they go to true fans. -Proven Method: Major events like Tomorrowland successfully use this system. Why This Matters: It's a straightforward change that puts fans first, keeping the joy of live music alive for those who appreciate it most. #Coldplay #Tickets #BookMyShow #Concert

Coldplay has become a hotplay for creators. Time to ride the wave😁 So, what stands out: 1) Bhai Paisa bahut hai kuch logon ke pass 2) More importantly, they are ready to spend 3) Experiences are the new possessions. From concerts to travel, Janta is shifting from material goods to creating memories 4) The Total Addressable Market (TAM) for segments like entertainment and live events is HUGE! But not all is rosy: 1) Infrastructural meltdown – Bhai app/site hi crash ho gayi #bookmyshow ki. Logon ko toh JEE rank yaad aa gyi itni lambi queue thi Aryansh Singh 2) Wealth gap on full display – On one side, people are spending a fortune on concert tickets, while many struggle to cover daily expenses. 3) Ticket scalping / Black market blues – Tickets originally sold at INR 35K are being resold for 3 lakhs; even more on ticket reselling platfroms The hype around Coldplay’s concert is undeniable, but it’s more than just a musical event—it reflects deeper societal trends. The path forward lies in building the capacity to bridge these gaps👊 #Coldplay

Though I’ve seen a few random posts about Coldplay Concert. but I’m still waiting for some posts to delve into these topics: 1) Corporate lessons: 5 things to learn from Coldplay - and concert ticket sales. 2) Financial wisdom: How to better invest your money instead of Concerts? 3) YOLO or not?: Why spend on experiences because YOLO? Honestly the Coldplay concert ticket sale was a rollercoaster ride. But the experience was completely ruined by BMS. As customers, we don't want to be bothered with technical details. It’s all about service and experience. BMS knew about the demand, still they couldn’t handle it. BookMyShow Let’s remember: one bad experience can overshadow a hundred good ones. #Coldplay #BMSFixYourself #BookMyShow #CorporateLessons

After two successful failures of not getting my hands on Coldplay concert tickets—and the sinking feeling of watching them pop up in the black market at 3x-5x the original price—I’ve been thinking about how unfair this is to genuine fans like me who just want to experience the magic of live music. It’s not just about the missed opportunity; it’s about the frustration of seeing the system being gamed, leaving fans out in the cold while scalpers profit. Here’s an idea I’d love to see implemented: 1.) Name & ID Match: When booking tickets, platforms like BookMyShow should require the buyer's name to be linked to their government ID. Entry would then only be allowed if the name on the ticket matches the ID. Simple, fair, and transparent. 2.) Ticket Returns for a Fair Chance: Life happens, and plans change. If someone can’t attend the event, they should have the option to return their tickets to BookMyShow or any other ticketing platform at least a month before the event. The platform can then resell these tickets, giving other genuine fans a second chance—without inflated prices. This small change could make a huge difference. It would stop ticket hoarding, make live events more accessible, and most importantly, ensure true fans get the seats they deserve. I know I’m not the only one who has faced this. Have you been in a similar situation? What solutions do you think could work?
