Do Not Buy…’: BookMyShow After Cops Summon CEO Over Coldplay Row

Mumbai: 

A day after BookMyShow’s CEO and technical head were summoned by the Mumbai Police over the alleged black-marketing of tickets for Coldplay’s concerts in Navi Mumbai in January, the company has said it has no association with any unauthorised ticket-selling or reselling platforms and has also filed a police complaint. 

BookMyShow has also claimed that it took a number of steps to ensure that all genuine fans had a fair chance to secure tickets for the British pop-rock band’s concerts and warned against buying passes from unauthorised sources, saying that they may be invalid or fake.

The Mumbai Police’s summons to BookMyShow CEO and co-founder Ashish Hemrajani and its technical head were issued on Friday after a complaint by an advocate, who had alleged that the platform had facilitated the black-marketing of the tickets for Coldplay’s concerts as part of the Music Of The Spheres World Tour, which will be held in Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium between January 19 and 21.
