Mumbai Police has called in the CEO and technical head of BookMyShow's parent company to probe allegations of black-market ticket sales for the upcoming Coldplay concerts in Mumbai. CEO Ashish Hemrajani of Big Tree Entertainment Private Limited and the technical head are to appear before the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) on Saturday. The summons follows a complaint by advocate Amit Vyas, who alleged that tickets for the Coldplay concerts, scheduled for January 18, 19, and 21, were being resold at excessive prices shortly after their official release on September 22. Tickets, originally priced at Rs 2,500, were reportedly being resold for up to Rs 3 lakh. All tickets for the initial shows sold out quickly, prompting Coldplay to add a third show on January 21, which also sold out. BookMyShow, the authorized ticketing partner for the concerts, stated that unauthorized reselling and scalping are illegal and punishable by law in India.

The figures are 49.1 percent for Harris compared to Trump's 46.1 percent.

Navi Mumbai hotel prices get hot when Coldplay is around Why are Indians shelling out so much money for a show by a band which is not even one of the most popular in the world today? While many attribute this phenomenon to the extreme FOMO (fear of missing out) sentiment in the age of social media when people like to flaunt things, it is also an indicator of India's economic situation. The frenzy for Coldplay tickets shows India's strengthening consumption story even as disposable incomes rise, the number of rich grows at a fast pace, the size of the middle class increases and a trend of premium consumption sweeps across sectors. Not just the class that clamours for Coldplay tickets, even those at the bottom of the pyramid are showing different consumption trends.

football season, Travis Kelce is feeling the heat over his Taylor Swift romance. When Travis Kelce stumbled on the football field, Taylor Swift was going to be held accountable for his poor performance somehow. On Monday, September 24, sports analyst Todd McShay joined the Ryen Russell Podcast and suggested that Taylor Swift was influencing Travis Kelce's performance. He stated that for weeks, every show he had watched, whether pregame, halftime, postgame, or broadcast, had made him wonder if it was wrong to point out that Kelce was not in good shape and had spent the offseason partying. McShay speculated that Kelce had been jetsetting with one of the world's most famous people. Although he didn't have to mention Swift by name, it is implied that the romance has kept him from paying attention to the football game. A photo taken in preseason 2022 and another in preseason 2024; they are hardly the same person, McShay went on. The bottom line with Kelce is this: while the athlete is not receiving the same level of respect and coverage.
