Coldplay India Tour: Rs 88,000 for one night? Hotel prices skyrocket ahead of Coldplay's Ahmedabad concert
Coldplay concert in Ahmedabad:?The excitement for Coldplay's upcoming concerts in India has taken the country by storm. As the iconic British band prepares for their much-awaited shows in Ahmedabad, fans are in a rush to secure tickets and accommodation. However, the steep rise in hotel prices has left many shocked, with some rooms reportedly costing as much as Rs 90,000 for a single night.
Coldplay's Ahmedabad Concert: A Ticket Frenzy
Fans were thrilled when Coldplay announced their ¡°Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025¡±, which includes two performances at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 25th and 26th January. The band had to add a second show due to the overwhelming demand, but even this wasn¡¯t enough to accommodate the massive interest.
Tickets for both shows sold out within minutes, leaving fans frustrated. Many tried logging in with multiple devices and accounts, enduring long waiting times, only to find the tickets gone before they could grab one.
Ahmedabad Hotels Raise Prices
If securing tickets wasn¡¯t challenging enough, finding an affordable place to stay in Ahmedabad is now proving to be another hurdle. Fans have reported an extraordinary rise in hotel prices during the concert dates, making their plans even more expensive.
For example, a room at the luxury ITC Narmada Ahmedabad is being advertised for nearly Rs 90,000 per night on 25th January. Without taxes, the base price stands at approximately Rs 75,000, compared to the usual cost of Rs 13,200 just a week earlier.
Indiatimes.com checked the ITC Narmada website and confirmed that a room for 25th January is priced at Rs 75,000 before taxes. Including taxes, the total comes to Rs 88,500. In comparison, just a week before the concert, the same luxury hotel room costs Rs 13,200 (excluding taxes and fees).??
Fans Share Their Frustration
Disappointed fans have taken to social media to express their struggles with these inflated prices:
Aviral Bhatnagar, a user on X (formerly Twitter), wrote:
¡°Hotel rooms in ITC Narmada Ahmedabad are selling for Rs 90,000 per night on the 25th. If you manage to get Coldplay tickets, you also need to spend six months of an average Indian middle-class person¡¯s income to visit the city. Coldplay plays, city¡¯s hotels party.¡±
Another user, Ujval Chopra, shared a video showcasing hotel prices exceeding Rs 50,000, writing:
¡°Thought I¡¯d book a hotel room just in case I manage to get tickets for Coldplay in Ahmedabad. The prices just skyrocketed.¡±
Alternative Solutions
With hotel prices in Ahmedabad soaring, some fans are considering creative alternatives. A user suggested staying in Vadodara, a city approximately 100 km from Ahmedabad, and commuting to the concert. This could save a significant amount of money while still allowing fans to enjoy the performance.
"Pro-tip for people going to Coldplay: stay in Vadodara and commute to Ahmedabad," he wrote, while another added, ¡°When even miles don't come to rescue. Hotel Rates already skyrocketed for 25/26th in Ahmedabad.¡±
Coldplay¡¯s India Tour: A Grand Event
Before their Ahmedabad shows, Coldplay will perform three concerts at the DY Patil Sports Stadium in Mumbai on the 18th, 19th, and 21st of January. The band¡¯s return to India has created a buzz, and excitement is at an all-time high among fans across the country.
With Coldplay at Ahmedabad, fans are facing not only the challenge of securing tickets but also dealing with soaring hotel prices before the Coldplay concert. Despite the high costs, for many fans, the chance to see one of the world¡¯s most beloved bands perform live is worth it.
If you¡¯re planning to attend, it¡¯s wise to book your accommodation early or explore nearby cities to avoid inflated prices. Whatever your plan, Coldplay¡¯s Ahmedabad concert promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Indian fans. Let the countdown to this grand musical event begin!
