As Ahmedabad gears up to host the much-anticipated Coldplay concert on January 25, flight ticket prices to the city have surged, with a notable increase in fares from several major cities across India. The event has caused a significant rise in demand for flights as people from across the country have bought tickets for the British band’s concert.

Flight Fares to Ahmedabad on January 25

Minimum fare: Goa to Ahmedabad

The lowest one-way flight fare for January 25 from Goa to Ahmedabad, starts at ₹8,724, which is still more than double the normal fare of ₹3,500. 

Maximum fare: Puducherry to Ahmedabad

Among all the routes, the highest one-way flight fare on January 25 is from Puducherry to Ahmedabad, with ticket prices ranging from ₹25,023 to 37,529. This is higher than fares from other cities, highlighting the strain on capacity and demand from smaller airports.

Notably, Maharashtra can gain economically, with over 59,000 travelling to Ahmedabad for the Coldplay concert. This number far surpasses the contributions from other states, with over 11,200 people from Delhi, 1,200 fans from Goa, over 6000 from Telangana, and 7,500 plus from Rajasthan. The large turnout from Maharashtra is expected to economically boost local travel agencies, airlines, and other supporting sectors.

Raj Deshani, a frequent flier from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, mentioned that on normal days, the flight price is around ₹1,800 to ₹2,000. However, due to the Coldplay concert, the prices have surged to ₹10,524. Even at the last minute, the price hovers around ₹3,500, but now, the concert has pushed the fares significantly higher.

Delhi resident Shreyansh Agarwal  will fly for the concert on Friday. He had to shell out ₹10,500 for a one-way fare when he booked the ticket on Tuesday.The airfare for the same route is around ₹3,000.

He said, “I had no other option as I am handling my family business. I could not leave early for the train, and as per my convenience, flight was the only option for which I had to pay ₹10,500.”

The surging flight prices have resulted in several people being forced to sell their Coldplay tickets.

Notably, an international flight from Ahmedabad to Vietnam costs just ₹14,500, making it cheaper than many domestic flights to Ahmedabad during the concert period.
