Coldplay ticket chaos: Bombay HC rejects plea on rules to curb black marketing

Hindustan Times  

The Bombay high court on Friday rejected a plea seeking guidelines to curb black marketing and ticket scalping at major events. Petition alleged irregularities during sale of tickets In his petition, advocate Amit Vyas claimed several irregularities and illegalities occurred during the sale of tickets for major events such as concerts, live shows, etc. The plea sought the court to issue stringent guidelines to prevent black marketing, touting and scalping of online tickets for major events, the PTI report added. The petitioner alleged that “organisers and ticketing partners exploit fans by listing the tickets on secondary websites at exorbitant prices.” "The sale of online tickets was apparently manipulated by the BookMyShow platform in such a manner that even before mid-noon on the day the tickets were made available, people got logged out and were not allowed to access the website to purchase tickets," the PIL alleged.
