In a move to curb ticket scalping, Maharashtra Cyber has directed major ticketing platforms BookMyShow and Zomato to print buyers’ names on tickets for large-scale events and concerts. The decision follows widespread ticket reselling at inflated prices during the recent Coldplay concert in Mumbai. Special IG of Maharashtra Cyber, Yashasvi Yadav, clarified that the rule will not be mandatory for all events but will apply to high-value events with exceptionally high demand to prevent large-scale resale.
