Ahmedabad Coldplay concert announcement triggers surge in hotel prices

The excitement surrounding Coldplay’s upcoming concert at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on January 25, 2025, is driving hotel prices through the roof. Since the British band announced the show, hotel room rates in the city have skyrocketed, with some rooms now priced over Rs 50,000 per night around the concert dates.

Following performances in Mumbai on January 18, 19 and 21, the Ahmedabad show is expected to attract thousands of fans. As demand surges, many people are taking to social media — especially X (formerly Twitter) — to share their shock at the price hikes.

A user wrote, “When even miles don’t come to rescue. Hotel rates already skyrocketed for 25/26th in Ahmedabad.” Another commented, “I thought I’d book a hotel room just in case I manage to get Coldplay tickets. Prices have already gone through the roof."

Some fans who booked early have also been hit with cancellations. One user shared, “Booked a stay near Narendra Modi Stadium 2 minutes after the Coldplay Ahmedabad show was announced. I just got an email saying my booking is cancelled. I booked one night for Rs 1,800. Now it’s set to touch Rs 18,000 in a few hours."

Coldplay’s Ahmedabad concert is part of their ‘Music of the Spheres’ World Tour, marking the band’s return to India after a nine-year hiatus. The concert is produced by BookMyShow Live in collaboration with Live Nation, the global tour promoter. Tickets for the Ahmedabad show would be available starting November 16 at 12 pm.
