A woman took to X to answer a question “nobody asked”—how much it cost her to watch Coldplay's concert in Abu Dhabi. Her cost breakdown surprised people.
Coldplay recently gave an electrifying performance in Abu Dhabi as a part of their Music of the Spheres tour. The band is set to return to India after eight years, with multiple performances in Mumbai and Ahmedabad in January. The concert tickets were sold out minutes after opening, leaving many fans disappointed. Hence, some decided to enjoy performances by the band outside India and visited Abu Dhabi. One of the women who visited the Middle Eastern country has now given a detailed breakdown of how much it cost her to attend the concert. What surprised people was how she managed to complete the trip within ₹37,000.
“Here’s the breakdown of my Abu Dhabi Coldplay concert that absolutely no one everyone asked for,” Mumbai-based Ami Palam wrote on X.

She shared that her flight tickets were worth ₹14,000, and the concert ticket cost her ₹15,000. “Visa on arrival: ₹2,400. Accommodation: Staying at a friend’s place. Food and cabs: ₹5,000,” she added.

Curious, a social media user asked how she managed to get flight tickets for so cheap. Palan answered she booked the tickets in September, 2024.
Another commented, “Hmm interesting. Visa on Arrival is for everyone or those with US visa?” The individual referred to an earlier post by Palan in which she explained how getting a 10-year US visa helped her save a lot of money on travelling and get easy access to different countries.
A third expressed, “Life should be enjoyed rather than just lived. You’re living it.” A fourth wrote, “Still cheaper than the Indian Coldplay concert.”
