Travis Scott’s much-anticipated concert in India saw tickets selling out within seconds of release, leading to widespread outrage as black marketing surfaced almost immediately, similar to what happened at the time of the Coldplay concert in Mumbai and Ahmedabad earlier this year.

Despite earlier directives issued by ticketing platforms and police authorities after the Coldplay event, warning of strict action against black marketers, the same issue has resurfaced. Tickets for Travis Scott’s show are now being resold on secondary platforms like Viagogo at exorbitant prices.

On resale platforms, tickets originally priced between ₹3,500 and ₹30,000 (for lounge access) are now being sold for as high as ₹3,00,000. The lowest black market price currently stands at ₹5,582, still significantly above the original pricing tier.

As lakhs of fans were left waiting in the queue on the BookMyShow, concerns have been raised over black marketers exploiting such high-demand events for profit, despite repeated warnings and promises of regulation from authorities and ticketing agencies.

The tickets for October 18 concert went live on Saturday at 12 pm, and were sold out in minutes. The ticketing platform then announced another concert on October 19, the tickets for which went live at 1 pm. The tickets for the second show were sold out within minutes as well, reported users all over the internet.

Both the concerts will be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.

Several fans who had queued up online reported not getting the chance to purchase tickets, despite waiting for hours. The digital queue system became a topic of mockery on social media, with netizens humorously comparing their ticket queue numbers to their JEE ranks, highlighting the frustration and absurdity of the experience.
