Fans of American rapper Travis Scott have been buzzing with excitement as they eagerly awaited tickets for his debut concert in India, scheduled for October 18, 2025, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. As part of his highly anticipated Circus Maximus World Tour, the ticket sales kicked off on April 5, 2025, but many fans faced significant challenges in securing their spots. The online ticketing platform, BookMyShow, experienced overwhelming demand, leading to virtual queues that reportedly reached between 200,000 to 300,000 people.
The frenzy surrounding the ticket sales sparked a wave of social media reactions, with fans humorously comparing the chaotic situation to the ticketing madness seen during Coldplay's concert in India the previous year. "When you try to book Travis Scott concert tickets on BookMyShow, but it shows your JEE rank," joked one user, referencing the entrance exam for engineering colleges in India that is notorious for its competitive nature.
Despite the online chaos, some fans managed to secure their tickets, proudly sharing screenshots on social media. BookMyShow, responding to the high demand, later added a second show on October 19, 2025, at the same venue to accommodate more fans. Ticket prices for the event range from ₹3,500 for general admission to ₹30,000 for premium lounge seats, with standing tickets priced at ₹15,000 and ₹6,500.
The Circus Maximus World Tour is produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, in collaboration with global promoters Live Nation. Travis Scott, known for his chart-topping hits such as 'SICKO MODE', 'Goosebumps', and 'Highest in the Room', is expected to deliver a spectacular performance that showcases his signature psychedelic beats and immersive stage productions.
Taking to his Instagram, Scott shared his excitement about the tour, stating, "JOBURG/ ASIA WE OTW SOON I WANNA SEE SOMETHING." The Asia leg of the tour begins in India, followed by performances in Seoul, Sanya, and Tokyo. Scott's last tour saw him performing at major arenas across North America and Europe, including the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, which has a capacity of 62,000.
One of the standout moments from Scott's previous shows included a surprise appearance by rapper Kanye West during a performance in Orlando, where Scott expressed his gratitude, saying, "I wouldn't be here on this stage without my brother, man. He opened up these doors for me. ... Make some noise for the greatest of all time." This kind of theatricality and surprise is expected to carry over into the upcoming performances in India.
The hype around Scott's concert is not just about the music; it's also about the experience. His latest album, 'UTOPIA', has shattered streaming records and solidified his place as one of the most influential artists in modern hip-hop. With its experimental soundscapes and immersive visuals, fans are eager to see how these elements will translate into a live performance.
As fans queued up online, many took to social media to share their frustrations and experiences. One user tweeted, "I was 2,34,571 in the queue. I aged 10 years in 10 minutes," highlighting the overwhelming wait times that fans faced. Others humorously lamented their positions in line, with comments like, "India has two new religions now: Cricket and Concert Queues," capturing the essence of the ticket-buying experience.
Memes flooded the internet, providing comedic relief for those who found themselves stuck in the virtual line. One particularly popular meme depicted a skeleton waiting by a laptop with the caption, "Still waiting for BookMyShow to move me one spot ahead." Another fan quipped, "I was 2,34,571 in line. I got engaged, married, had kids, and came back—and I’m still in the queue." These humorous takes on the situation helped to lighten the mood amidst the chaos.
In summary, the anticipation for Travis Scott's concert in India is palpable, with fans eager to witness a performance that promises to be a landmark event for hip-hop enthusiasts in the country. As the ticketing saga unfolds, it remains to be seen how many more fans will be able to secure their spots for this monumental occasion. The Circus Maximus World Tour is not just a concert; it's an experience that is set to redefine live music in India.
