Coldplay is making a long-awaited return to India after nine years, with three electrifying shows lined up for January 2025. When tickets went live on BookMyShow on September 22, fans flooded the site and patiently waited in virtual queues to secure them. Many were even sharing updates online on how many people stood between them and their golden ticket. Amid this, an MBA student took a bold chance on a Grapevine thread – not to talk tickets, but to ask working professionals for job referrals. Surprisingly, his hustle paid off, and he landed a few referrals.

“Hustle Max Pro: So a student got into a Coldplay ticket-related thread and asked all the working professionals for referrals and even succeeded with a few,” wrote Saumil Tripathi while sharing a screenshot on X (formerly known as Twitter).
As per the screenshot, a discussion was going on Grapevine where people were sharing their ticketing woes. A student replied to the comment and wrote, “Hi, can you please give me a referral for a fresher’s role? I’m pursuing an MBA in finance.”
An individual, working at Razorpay, replied to his comment and wrote, “Asking for referral even in the Coldplay queue. This is the coldest of emails I have ever seen.”
The student replied to this comment by a Razorpay employee and wrote, “I’m in a queue too, to get selected by a good company. You’re from Razorpay. I think you should give me a referral too.”
Razorpay employee then asked the student to drop him a direct message.

Coldplay will perform at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on January 18, 19 and 21. Tickets for all three shows, limited to four per user, have completely sold out. However, there’s still a chance to catch the Grammy-winning band live. You can get Infinity Tickets priced at ₹2,000 each, with a cap of two tickets per user. These limited tickets will go live on November 22 at 12 pm on BookMyShow.
“A limited number of Infinity Tickets are released for every Coldplay show to give fans the chance to attend the Music Of The Spheres World Tour at a super low price. They cost the equivalent of £20 / $20 / €20 per ticket and must be brought in pairs. Infinity Tickets are randomly allocated anywhere in the venue – from the back row to the floor to the best seat in the house,” Coldplay shared on their website.
