The anticipation for Coldplay’s concert in Ahmedabad on January 25, 2025, has brought along a wave of excitement—and a steep rise in hotel prices. The British band’s announcement to perform at the Narendra Modi Stadium has created a hotel booking frenzy, with rates skyrocketing as fans scramble for accommodations. Many fans have taken to social media, especially X, to share their surprise and frustration as they encounter high room rates ahead of the concert.
Hotel Rates Hit Record Highs
After Coldplay wraps up their Mumbai concerts on January 18, 19, and 21, thousands are expected to head to Ahmedabad for the final India show of their Music of the Spheres World Tour. With demand at an all-time high, hotel prices in Ahmedabad are seeing dramatic increases, with some rooms going for more than ₹50,000 a night around the concert date.
Fans Share Booking Frustrations on Social Media
Many fans on social media have expressed frustration while attempting to book rooms in Ahmedabad. One fan on X remarked, “When even miles don’t come to rescue. Hotel Rates already skyrocketed for 25/26th in Ahmedabad.” Another fan shared, “Thought I’ll book a hotel room and keep just in case I manage to get the tickets for Coldplay in Ahmedabad. The prices just skyrocketed.”

One user shared his story of booking a hotel room shortly after Coldplay’s concert announcement, only to have it canceled. He commented, “Booked a stay near Narendra Modi Stadium 2 minutes after the Coldplay Ahmedabad show was announced. Just got an email saying booking is cancelled. I booked 1 night stay at Rs 1,800. Now watch this cost touch Rs 18,000 within a few hours.”
Others noted that some fans had secured hotels in September, predicting that Coldplay might add an Ahmedabad stop when the Mumbai tickets went on sale. “If you think you can get hotels in Ahd for good rates for the Coldplay concert on 25/26th Jan – FORGET IT!” wrote one social media user.
