On September 22, so many people logged in on the Book My Show app and site that 1.3 crore people caused both the site and the app to crash.
Book My Show filed an FIR in the police station against the sale of fake tickets for the Mumbai event of British band Coldplay. Online ticket aggregator Book My Show is the official ticketing partner for ColdPlay's concert.
In a statement issued by Book My Show, it was said that Book My Show is not associated with Viagogo and Gigsberg or any third party for the sale and resale of tickets for Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour 2025 in India.
The company said- We strongly condemn scalping in India. There is a law to punish those who do this. We have lodged a complaint with the police. We will fully cooperate in the investigation of the case.
Book My Show has appealed to people to avoid such scams. If someone buys tickets from unauthorized sources, then the entire risk will be his. The ticket purchased may be fake.
what is scaling Scalping means buying tickets for a program or music concert in bulk. After this, when people do not get the tickets, the same tickets are sold to them at a higher price.
There is no data on the tickets that are bought or sold in black. This is straight-up tax evasion. The government suffers a lot of loss due to this. Ticket sales are shown to the government at a low rate, while outside they are sold at a much higher price.
Apart from this, ordinary people never get tickets for such events because the tickets are already sold in black. Those who have money easily buy tickets at high prices and go away, but ordinary people are deprived of it.

There is no specific law in India regarding counterfeiting of tickets Is there any law against ticket counterfeiting in India? Dainik Bhaskar contacted a lawyer Ali Kashif Khan Deshmukh to know the answer to this question. He said, 'There is no specific law to ban black marketing of entertainment tickets other than cinema tickets.
At present, only sections 406, 420 of IPC or provisions of BNS and IT Act are applicable in this case. Therefore, the government should make a strong law to stop such illegal activities.
Former ACP Mumbai, Vasant Dhoble said that if fraudsters are saying such things against Book My Show, then they should come forward and give clarification. Action can be taken keeping in mind their complaint.
