The Bombay High Court Today (Jan 10) dismissed a PIL seeking stricter measures to combat ticket scalping and black marketing, an issue highlighted by the controversy surrounding Coldplay concert tickets. Filed by lawyer Amit Vyas, the plea alleged unfair practices like bot-based bulk buying, inflated resale prices, and potential organizer involvement. The Court directed Vyas to approach the State government for policy solutions, while platforms like BookMyShow face public backlash over mishandled ticket sales.
