After months of rumours, several memes and fan-made event pages – including one cheekily dedicated to welcoming “Britain’s most famous antakshari band” – New York based social action platform Global Citizen finally confirmed last month that Coldplay would indeed be making its way to India.
Scheduled to take place at the MMRDA grounds in Mumbai on November 19th (World Toilet Day), the band will perform as part of a charity concert that will also feature rapper Jay Z along with a host of Bollywood celebrities including Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, AR Rahman, Katrina Kaif, Shankar Ehsaan Loy and Farhan Akhtar. While tickets were priced at Rs 10,000 onwards – and already sold out in a flash – you can still perform certain goodwill actions such as sharing content or signing petitions to promote campaigns in support of key social issues in order to be eligible for a draw that could grant you a free ticket.
If you haven’t signed up yet, you have one last chance to participate. Log on to the Global Citizen India website to take part in their 5th and final round. As part of the End Extreme Poverty Action Journey 5, you’ll be prompted to post tweets relating to social issues like education and sanitation, take quizzes based on videos that will highlight certain initiatives and sign a few petitions. Each action will earn you a certain number of points, and you have to earn 30 to be eligible for the draw. Winners will receive a confirmation email within three days after the draw ends and will receive two complementary tickets each.
When: November 19th
Where: MMRDA Grounds, BKC
