A repeat of Coldplay black-marketing case?
The action comes after the recent alleged ticket black-marketing case during the British band Coldplay's concert.
A Mumbai-based lawyer filed a complaint against BookMyShow, accusing them of facilitating the unauthorised resale of tickets for the much-awaited Coldplay concert at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in January this year.
Authorities started scrutinising all ticketing platforms from then on.
Now, the Maharashtra Cyber Cell is about to investigate whether Zomato had violated any ticketing regulations or posed security risks.
Honey Singh is making a comeback after staying away from the limelight for years, and has announced one of his biggest tours, the 'Millionaire India Tour'.
The musician will cover 10 cities across India as part of this tour between February and March 2025.
The tickets for Honey Singh’s 'Millionaire India Tour' are available on Zomato and Insider.in.
