The news are buzzing all around the web that to attend the Coldplay Concert in India you have to pay minimum 25k to ticket. Mid-Day and daily reported that the event by Global Citizen Organization will take place on 19th November 2016 at MMRDA, Mumbai and the price range will be Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 5 lakh.
But, recently in a tweet the CEO of the Event management company for this concert, Only Much Louder (OML) dismissed the claim saying that 90% of the tickets are FREE for the Global Citizen Festival.
As a thumb rule, let A tabloid not be your source of information on any concerts, ticket prices or life in general.

Not many artists I have met care as much about their fans as Coldplay does. So rest assured, keep your kidney with you.
