A debate sparked between author Chetan Bhagat and BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover over the high prices of Coldplay's concert tickets in Mumbai. Bhagat questioned how fans could afford tickets, highlighting India's low salary percentiles, while Grover argued that the demand for 80,000 seats was unsurprising given the country's economic disparity. Tickets originally priced between ₹2,500 to ₹35,000 were resold for up to ₹3 lakh, frustrating many fans. Social media users were divided, with some agreeing on affordability issues and others criticizing the concert's value for money.
