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.

This investigation is based on the complaint filed by advocate Amit Vyas, who accused the online ticketing platform of black marketing at exorbitant prices using scalpers and third-party websites. However, in a previous statement, BookMyShow distanced itself from scalpers, urging fans to beware of black market scams.
