Hotel room, private transportation rates skyrocket amid fan frenzy for Ahmedabad show

- DILIP SINGH KSHATRIYA @Ahmedabad

BRITISH rock band Coldplay's live concerts electrified Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, drawing a crowd of 110,000 passionate fans from across India and beyond. However, the excitement comes with significant challenges that are testing the city's infrastructure and hospitality capabilities.

The two-night musical extravaganza starting Saturday has triggered windfall gains in Ahmedabad, with local businesses capitalising on the massive influx of fans. Hotel rates have experienced a jaw-dropping surge, transforming the city's accommodation landscape into a financial maze for concert-goers. What were once modest rooms priced at ₹1,000 per night are now commanding ₹12,000 to ₹16,000—a staggering increase that has left many fans reeling.
