MUMBAI: Twitteratis took to their beloved social media platform to do what they know best. React to news. And this time, the UK based popular rock band Coldplay has become the latest butt of jokes. Since the reports suggesting Coldplay’s charity concert in Mumbai would be priced at Rs. 25,000 at the minimum have emerged on several portals, some fans reacted with disappointment while others used humour to portray their honest thoughts about the development.
The band or the organising committee has not made the announcement or the ticket rates official yet, but these Twitter hands could not care less.
Coldplay’s news reminded this gentleman of forgotten heroes

Also bribe the IT guys for behind-the-stage visit, maybe?
You need to submit Salary Slip, Bank Statements and IT Returns to apply for Coldplay concert.

OML’s founder Vijay Nair has a piece of advice for you guys.
Not many artists I have met care as much about their fans as Coldplay does. So rest assured, keep your kidney with you.

Speculations come and go, and so will Coldplay. But golden tweets stay on the internet forever.
It would be only fair to wait for official announcement, but if the news turn out to be true, then expect more outrage and jokes heading towards Coldplay’s debut India performance.
