Coldplay fans from India were left disappointed after most of them could not secure a ticket to the Mumbai concerts. But worry not, there is still light at the end of the tunnel: the Abu Dhabi concerts.

A new report by Mint has shed light on how booking a round trip to Abu Dhabi, accommodation and the concert tickets for Zayed Sports City Stadium might actually be the more budget-friendly option. Specially for those considering buying resold tickets for Mumbai concerts. They are currently going for as high as ₹9 lakh on websites such as Viagogo.

The tickets for Abu Dhabi concerts were going for as low as AED 195 and as high as AED 3000, which is still ₹68000.

The round trip flight from New Delhi to Abu Dhabi comes as cheap as ₹14000 by careers such as Indigo and Air India. AirBnBs are also available for as cheap as ₹4000. Meanwhile, a 48 hour visa for UAE is for just ₹820.

The total for the most budget friendly option would come out to be ₹24000!

However, it might not be as easy as was previously thought. On Wednesday, Coldplay added another show in Abu Dhabi for January 12, seeing the high demand during pre-sales. All hope is still not lost as the General sale will still open on September 27. Would you try your luck?
