The Bombay High Court has acknowledged a petition highlighting malpractice concerns in the sale of tickets for Coldplay’s upcoming concert, yet stressed that it is up to the Maharashtra government to take appropriate action. The petition, filed by advocate Amit Vyas, raised significant concerns about black marketing, ticket scalping, and revenue loss surrounding the sale of tickets for the British rock band's much-awaited shows.

The division bench, comprising Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar, recognised that the petition underscored the growing need for regulation and oversight in the online ticketing industry, especially for large-scale events like concerts. However, the court also noted that any necessary action must come from the relevant authorities in line with the constitutional and statutory framework.
