The announcement of Coldplay’s fourth Indian concert in Ahmedabad has not only electrified fans but also sent hotel prices in the city skyrocketing. With the band scheduled to perform at the Narendra Modi Stadium on January 25, 2025, hotel demand has soared, leaving many fans frustrated over cancellations and inflated prices.
Guest Faces Cancellation Amid Price Surge
A fan and digital content creator, Samarth, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his disappointment after his ₹1,800-per-night hotel booking near the venue was cancelled just hours after confirmation. In his post, Samarth wrote, “Booked a stay near Narendra Modi Stadium 2 minutes after Coldplay Ahmedabad show was announced. Just got an email saying booking is cancelled. I booked 1 night stay at 1800/-. Now watch this cost touch 18000/- within a few hours.” He also shared a screenshot of the cancellation email, sparking sympathy and outrage among fellow fans.
HT.com has reached out to the hotel for a statement, and an update is awaited.

The Narendra Modi Stadium, known for hosting major global events, will be Coldplay’s venue for their final Indian performance in 2025, adding to the buzz.
