Coldplay fans virtually queue up on Threads as man posts about reselling tickets for Mumbai concert

The anticipation for Coldplay’s upcoming concert in Mumbai has reached fever pitch, with tickets selling out almost instantly after their release. As one of the most beloved bands in the world, Coldplay’s concerts are not just musical events, but full-scale spectacles that combine their signature blend of emotion, visual effects, and incredible stage production. Mumbai fans have been eagerly awaiting the band’s performance, which is part of their ongoing Music of the Spheres tour. However, the high demand for tickets has left many disappointed as they were unable to secure seats for the event. Amidst the excitement and chaos, social media platform Threads—Meta’s latest app for microblogging—has become a new battleground for fans trying to get their hands on tickets. In a surprising turn of events, a man posted about reselling tickets for the concert, leading to a virtual queue forming in the comments section as desperate fans scrambled to buy them. The post quickly gained attention, as fans saw it as their last hope to witness the legendary band live. Coldplay’s popularity in India has grown steadily over the years, and their concerts are known to attract massive crowds. The band’s 2016 performance at the Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai was a huge success, and since then, Indian fans have been eagerly waiting for their return. The announcement of their Music of the Spheres tour stopping in Mumbai was met with enormous excitement, and ticket sales reflected the pent-up demand. When tickets for the Mumbai show were released online, they were snapped up within minutes. Fans who had been waiting for hours in virtual queues on various ticketing platforms found themselves left out in the cold as the “sold out” notification flashed on their screens. Many turned to social media to express their frustration and disappointment. One Twitter user wrote, “Waited in line for two hours only to get booted out. Coldplay tickets are like gold dust. And that’s where the story takes a new twist—on Threads, a new post from a man offering to resell Coldplay tickets started gaining traction. Threads, Meta’s latest foray into social media, has quickly become a popular platform for conversations, discussions, and, as this incident shows, even ticket reselling. A user on Threads posted about having extra tickets for Coldplay’s Mumbai concert and mentioned that he was willing to resell them at a reasonable price. What followed was a digital frenzy, with hundreds of Coldplay fans virtually queuing up in the comments section, hoping to grab a chance to buy the coveted tickets. In his post, the man explained that due to unforeseen circumstances, he and his friends could no longer attend the concert and were looking to sell the tickets. While reselling concert tickets is a common practice, what made this post stand out was the sheer number of responses it received. Within minutes of the post going live, fans began flooding the comments, each one vying for a chance to secure the tickets.
