The booking for concerts of Grammy-winning band Coldplay, to be held in India, began on Sunday noon. However, soon after, the online ticketing site BookMyShow crashed. Coldplay recently confirmed they will bring their celebrated Music of the Spheres World Tour to Mumbai.

How fans are reacting

The BookMyShow site has a queue of over two lakh people waiting to book the tickets. Fans have been eagerly awaiting Coldplay's return since their last visit in 2016.

Reacting to the crash of BookMyShow site, a person said, "#BookMyShow is down.. hey I don’t want cold play, I Just need a movie ticket. Do it ASAP." A fan said, "Bookmyshow crashed. What a time to crash!" "A tweet read, "Never understood why on earth #BookMyShow is choosen as the ticketing partner for bookings. They did mess up with world cup tickets, and now coldplay scene. App crashed." An X user said, "@bookmyshow , crashed without even selling any tickets for coldplay show?" "Pathetic service as expected like always," wrote another fan.
