Lakhs of fans of Coldplay in India were waiting with bated breath on Sunday morning to book their tickets for the band's concert in January next year. With  a seating capacity of 50000, the tickets were expected to get sold out in seconds. It was a race against time but seems like the BookMyShow application was not ready for such a load. The application and website of the ticket booking service crashed minutes before the tickets went live at 12 pm. 

While some could get inside the application, the ticket booking had yet not begun and was reportedly malfunctioning. Some people who managed  to get into the ticketing platform were place in queue. Some got numbered at as far as 5 lakh. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 50k.
