Last month, when the tickets of the concert were sold online, there were allegations of “black marketing”. Following this, the Book My Show was summoned by the Mumbai Police. “Modi Govt’s favorite agency ED then stepped in & conducted raids in 5 states. Now, last evening, BookMyShow has suddenly announced that Coldplay will be playing 1 more show in January,” he wrote.
And the upcoming concert will be at the “Narendra Modi stadium” in Ahmedabad. “Quite interesting how an extra Coldplay show is suddenly & randomly announced 1 month after the original announcement and that too in Ahmedabad,” he wrote.
Gokhale expressed his curiousness in the scheduling of a last-minute Coldplay concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad after “raids” by ED.
“How did this new extra show end up being announced in Ahmedabad & not any other city? How much of the revenue from this new show will go into BJP funds?” the TMC leader enquired in the post on X.
“Inconvenient questions that we might never find out the answers to,” he concluded.
Similar to the Mumbai shows, the ticket processing for the Ahmedabad too is expected to involve a virtual queue with a waiting room. When the sales go live, the fans will be assigned queue positions through an Automated Queue Randomisation System.
Tickets are expected to go on sale on November 16 on BookMyShow from 12 pm.
