'SoldPlay': BookMyShow leaves many Coldplay lovers in the cold, memes flood social media

Tickets for Coldplay's highly anticipated Music of the Spheres India 2025 concerts went on sale on September 22 via BookMyShow. However, many fans were left disappointed, unable to secure tickets.

BookMyShow's site crashed just before the ticket window opened. Later, many reported that they managed to select seats, only to be told they were sold out while completing the transaction.

Many also complained about being stuck in the queue.

Bookmyshow Crash Memes

One Twitter user wrote, "Am I the only one waiting for 15 minutes to see the tickets get sold out while the queue remains constant?"


Another user on X, who had queue number 69, said, "What sort of mocking is this, BookMyShow? All sold out at this queue number."

Similarly, another person, who was in queue position No. 250, was unable to book a ticket.


Some fans questioned why Coldplay was having a concert at such a small venue, while others speculated that tickets were being sold on the black market.


Another X user quipped, "If coldplay tickets will be sold out in 30 seconds, can we call it soldplay?


There were even conspiracy theories circulating. "Zomato Live sold out in seconds + BookMyShow crashing even before Coldplay concerts? My conspiracy theory is they do it intentionally & sell tickets on the black market later on," one X user speculated.


Interestingly, one person tweeted that they had four tickets but only needed two, and was ready to sell the remaining two.
