TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Coldplay's first-ever concert in Indonesia successfully dazzled the audience with its stunning performance for more than two hours on Nov. 15 at the Gelora Bung Karno or GBK Stadium, Senayan, Jakarta.
Tempo noted that the British band led by Chris Martin performed 25 of their hit songs to a packed audience, including Viva La Vida, Fix You, Yellow, Paradise, and Adventure of a Lifetime. The Jakarta concert is part of their "Music of the Spheres Tour 2023".
Despite the overall success of the show, social media X (formerly Twitter) has been abuzz with internet users or netizens revealing various chaos during the concert and reporting their disappointment with the concert promoter, PK Entertainment. At the time of the writing, Coldplay still dominates the trending topic on the platform.
Tempo summarized several issues that occurred during the concert as follows:
Tickets cannot be scanned
One of the chaos that occurred behind the scenes of the concert was tickets that could not be scanned, making it impossible for the audience to gain access to the venue.
Moreover, some spectators found that their tickets could not be scanned because they had been used or scanned by someone else.
Ticket scam
Fans who purchased tickets through brokers planned to complete the transaction through the cash-on-delivery (COD) system. However, some of them were out of luck as it turned out that the brokers did not show up or could not be reached until the concert started.
Lack of food and beverage stands
One of the most important things about a big music concert is the availability of food and beverage stands. However, some attendees complained about the lack of food and drink vendors around the venue.
Fans break down the entrance gate
The surge of people who were unable to enter the venue caused the fence at the entrance gate to be torn down. Not a few netizens shared short videos of the situation when fans who didn't have tickets managed to break into the venue of the Coldplay concert in Jakarta.
