The show in Ahmedabad marks a monumental milestone for Coldplay as they will perform the largest stadium show of their career right here in India, bringing a moment of pride and honour to the entire nation,” read an official release.

“The only way to better serve the record-breaking demand for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour in India has been to secure the country’s largest venue, making it possible to host Coldplay for their biggest-ever stadium audience globally. Our commitment to the consumers remains our priority as we raise the bar for live events and put India on the global entertainment map,” it further added. The British band, which has fans across the world, was formed in 1997.

The tickets for the Ahmedabad concert by the Grammy-award winners will be priced between 2,500 to 12,500 per person in the backdrop of the ongoing investigation of the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) into the allegations of black marketing of tickets of the Mumbai concert of the band.

“To ensure a level-playing field for all fans,” the official release further highlighted, “the ticket booking process will feature a virtual queue with a waiting room, where fans will be allocated queue positions through an Automated Queue Randomisation System, when the sale goes live. Fans are encouraged to go through the detailed ticketing guide,” added the statement.

Known for their breathtaking performances, Coldplay will perform hits from their Grammy-nominated album ‘Music Of The Spheres’, along with brand new singles ‘We Pray’ from their recent release ‘Moon Music’.

Fans can also look forward to anthems from the band’s unparalleled discography, including ‘Yellow’, ‘The Scientist’, ‘Clocks’, ‘Fix You’, ‘Viva La Vida’, ‘Paradise’, ‘A Sky Full of Stars’ and ‘Adventure of a Lifetime’.

Coldplay also confirmed they will make a limited number of ‘Infinity Tickets’ available for the shows at noon on November 22 for fans for an affordable price of Rs 2,000. “They are restricted to a maximum of two tickets per purchaser and must be bought in pairs (which will be located next to each other). Locations will be revealed when fans pick up their tickets in person at the box office on the day of the show and can be throughout the venue from the floor to the upper levels, side view seats and everywhere in between,” the release said.

Calling it a ‘historic concert’ for Ahmedabad, Dhanraj Nathwani, President, Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA), said, “This historic Coldplay concert in Ahmedabad not only positions our city on the global entertainment map but also reflects the vibrancy and modern infrastructure of Gujarat. It’s an honour for us to host Coldplay’s largest stadium show in the world, bringing immense pride to our state and city. We are also excited to partner with BookMyShow Live, a company that has consistently brought the best of global entertainment to India, and Live Nation, making this a truly momentous occasion for Gujarat.”

Earlier, in 2020, the Narendra Modi stadium had hosted the ‘Namaste Trump’ event to welcome US President Donald Trump during his first tenure.

Meanwhile, the Mumbai EOW is investigating a complaint that accuses Bookmyshow of facilitating black marketing of tickets of the much-hyped three concerts of Coldplay in Mumbai, where they will perform at the DY Patil Sports Stadium, Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra on January 18, 19, and 21.
