After a nine-year hiatus, Coldplay are set to return to India in January 2025 for two exciting shows at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium. Fan excitement is palpable, especially with the introduction of the much-talked-about Infinity Ticket, priced at an affordable Rs 2,000. Here’s everything you need to know about this unique ticket purchasing option and concert experience.
What is an Infinity Ticket?
Costing just Rs 2,000, Infinity Tickets offer fans an affordable way to attend Coldplay’s much-anticipated ‘Music Of The Spheres World Tour.’ According to the band’s official website, “A limited number of Infinity Tickets will be released for each Coldplay show, offering fans the opportunity to attend at an ultra-low price.”
These tickets are sold in pairs and are similarly priced in various currencies (approximately 20 GBP, 20 USD, or 20 EUR). One unique feature of Infinity Tickets is that seats are randomly assigned throughout the venue, meaning fans can sit in a variety of locations, from the back rows to the best seats, allowing for some exciting surprises on the day of the concert.

Ticket frenzy: scalpers drive up prices
As soon as tickets went on sale on BookMyShow, the demand was overwhelming. Fans rushed to secure their seats, but before long, all the Infinity Tickets were gone, leaving many disappointed. Unfortunately, the excitement quickly turned to frustration as scalpers took advantage of the situation and started selling tickets at exorbitant prices, some of which went up to hundreds of thousands of rupees.
The black market for concert tickets has raised concerns about availability and fairness, and while Infinity Tickets were designed to offer a budget-friendly option, their rapid disappearance highlights the difficulty fans have in getting affordable access to major events.

For many, the excitement of attending a Coldplay concert is worth the wait, despite navigating the complexities of buying tickets in today’s market.
