Malaysian authorities are set to meet the organiser of a Coldplay concert at Kuala Lumpur\u2019s 85,000-capacity National Stadium Bukit Jalil, after fans complained they couldn\u2019t purchase tickets to the performance due to scalpers bulk-buying seats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to reports<\/a>, the organiser is set to meet with Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil to ensure the problem does not happen again.<\/p>\n The concert is set to take place on November 22 and ticket sales began on Wednesday last week. It will be the first time the British band has played in Malaysia.<\/p>\n Fadzil retweeted a fan who highlighted the price of resale tickets on Twitter, and said \u201cthis is outrageous\u201d and that he would raise the issue with Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Salahuddin Ayub.<\/p>\n The fan had shown a picture of a resale ticket listed at RM43,200 (\u00a37,637\/\u20ac8,784\/$9,500).<\/p>\n Ini keterlaluan \u2013 isu tiket di bawah @KPDN_HQ<\/a> .
