The atmosphere was charged with excitement, yet tinged with disappointment.
When American rap icon Travis Scott revealed his first-ever performance in India as part of the Circus Maximus World Tour, fans eagerly flocked to secure their tickets for the highly awaited concert on October 18 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. However, the scene on BookMyShow on April 5 turned into a frenzy of digital

With virtual queues swelling to between 200,000 and 300,000 users, countless fans found themselves stuck on loading screens, reminiscent of the earlier ordeal this year when securing tickets for Coldplay’s shows in Mumbai and Ahmedabad felt nearly impossible.
“When you try to book Travis Scott concert tickets on BookMyShow, but it shows your JEE rank,” joked a fan on X (formerly Twitter), perfectly capturing the collective exasperation.
Others shared memes and throwbacks to January’s Coldplay fiasco, using humor to mask their ticketless despair. Still, the lucky few who managed to get in and secure seats didn’t hold back — flexing screenshots of their confirmed tickets like rare Pokémon cards.
Ticket Pricing and Availability
Tickets for the concert ranged from ₹3,500 to ₹30,000, with standing passes priced at ₹6,500 and ₹15,000. The top-tier lounge seats, which promise a premium view and experience, sold out faster than anyone expected. Many users reported being pushed to wait behind hundreds of thousands in the digital queue, even within minutes of the sale going live.
Despite the frustrations, the demand itself paints a clear picture — India loves Travis Scott.
Why the Craze?
Known for redefining modern hip-hop with psychedelic beats, immersive visuals, and mosh-pit-worthy energy, Travis Scott has a massive fan base in India. Songs like SICKO MODE, Goosebumps, FE!N, and Highest in the Room have become anthems for Gen Z and millennials alike.
Scott’s latest album, UTOPIA, shattered streaming records and elevated him into the stratosphere of global music icons. It’s no surprise that his first-ever India concert became one of the most in-demand live events of the year.
Circus Maximus Tour Comes to Asia
India will be the first stop in the Asia leg of Scott’s Circus Maximus World Tour. After New Delhi, he will head to Seoul (South Korea), Sanya (China), and Tokyo (Japan).
Promoted in India by BookMyShow Live in collaboration with global entertainment giant Live Nation, the tour promises a state-of-the-art stage experience. Scott himself teased fans on Instagram, writing, “JOBURG/ ASIA WE OTW SOON I WANNA SEE SOMETHING.”
A Global Tour, Historic Moments
Travis has already completed sold-out performances across Europe and North America, including iconic venues like the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. In one unforgettable moment during the Orlando stop, Kanye West made a surprise appearance, with Scott saying:
“I wouldn’t be here on this stage without my brother… Make some noise for the greatest of all time.”
With moments like these, fans can only imagine what Scott might have in store for India.
The Bigger Picture: India’s Live Music Boom
The surge in demand for international acts in India is no longer surprising. From Post Malone to Ed Sheeran, and now Travis Scott, global superstars are making India an essential stop on their world tours. And with every new concert, ticketing platforms are put to the test.
While frustrations run high when tickets are hard to get, the silver lining is clear: India has firmly cemented itself on the global music map.
Final Thoughts
Whether you managed to snag tickets or are still stuck refreshing BookMyShow in hopes of a second sale drop, one thing’s for sure — Travis Scott in India is going to be historic. And just maybe, the memory of those endless virtual queues will be worth it once the bass drops and the crowd roars.
