Getting Coldplay tickets has always been a dream of mine and when I found out they were performing at the DY Patil Stadium in India I couldn’t handle my excitement. Coldplay is one of those bands that create magical, unforgettable live experiences and to see them in my country? I had to get those tickets at any cost. The journey to securing them was nothing short of intense, but this is how I did it!
1. Announcement: Coldplay in India!
I’ve been a fan of Coldplay for as long as I can remember, so when it was announced that they would be performing at DY Patil Stadium, I felt an overwhelming rush of excitement. I had to be there. I knew the tickets would sell out quickly, so I started preparing right away. From planning the best strategy to securing the right gear, it was a mission.
2. Settings: Device Ready, Internet Ready
I knew the demand would be crazy, I didn’t want to leave anything to chance. I opened BookMyShow on multiple devices: two laptops and two phones. Each device had a separate purpose, some connected to WiFi and others to mobile data to ensure I had a backup if either network failed. I couldn’t afford to lose the connection at a crucial moment!
3. Preparation: Emergency Payment Methods
I have linked my UPI and card details with my BookMyShow account before starting the sale. This will save you valuable time during check-in and avoid catching up on payment details at the last minute. I also knew that in situations like these, speed was everything, so my job was to avoid any delay.
4. Moment of truth: clicked as soon as it started working
When the tickets finally came live, my heart skipped a beat. Without wasting a second, I clicked the button to book tickets as soon as they became available. In the queue I was on 1289, It was surely tough to keep myself calm. It took around 1.5 hours to get a chance to book. I followed the advice that multiple influencers instructed in reels: no refreshing multiple times! I knew it would only increase the chances of being kicked out of the queue.
5. Find Locations: Rescue Floor
When it was my turn, I quickly checked the seats, but as expected they were already taken. I didn’t waste a second – I immediately decided on a ticket. The goal was to get in, no matter where I was, and I wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip through my fingers. It felt like a race against time and I was determined to win.
6. The Secret Weapon: Being Pre-Paired
One trick that really helped was having all of my personal and payment information pre-entered in my Notes app. I could just copy and paste everything into the necessary fields instead of typing it all out by hand. This saved me crucial seconds and helped me secure those tickets before they sold out.
7. Win: Secure My Tickets
Finally, after a few intense minutes, I had my Coldplay floor tickets in hand! It felt surreal. Even though it was just a click of a button, after all the planning and preparation, it was a huge success. I’m still processing the fact that I’m going to see one of my favorite bands perform live and it really feels like an accomplishment.
