SUMMARY
On November 13, when Coldplay announced additional shows in Ahmedabad, it wasn't just the fans who were buzzing with excitement – hotel prices also skyrocketed, with some charging astronomical rates higher than ₹50,000.
In some cases, hotel prices in Ahmedabad have already crossed ₹50,000 per night, around the concert date
The concert, to be held on January 25, follows Coldplay’s three back-to-back shows planned in Mumbai on January 18, 19 and 20, 2025.
In some cases, hotel prices have already crossed ₹50,000 per night, around the concert date.
Hotels are even cancelling bookings made at lower rates. A social media influencer took to the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) to share that a hotel near the Narendra Modi Stadium cancelled his ₹1,800 one-night booking just two minutes after the rock band announced their Ahmedabad concert.
“Booked a stay near Narendra Modi Stadium 2 minutes after Coldplay Ahmedabad show was announced. Just got an email saying the booking is cancelled. I booked 1-night stay at 1800/-. Now watch this cost touch 18000/- within a few hours,” wrote Samarth, a content creator on X.
Another user took to X saying, “Hotel prices in Ahmedabad have surged 4x ahead of the #Coldpay concert scheduled for January.”
An X user said “Thought I’ll book a hotel room and keep just in case I managed to get the tickets for Coldplay in Ahmedabad. The prices just skyrocketed.”
Coldplay tickets went live on Saturday, November 16 at 12 pm IST.
