JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): The Central Jakarta Police are investigating hundreds of reports alleging ticket scams after many would-be concert goers failed to get into Coldplay’s first-ever concert in Jakarta.

The people claimed that they had bought the tickets from third parties through online transactions but later were unable to enter the Bung Karno Sports Stadium (GBK) in Central Jakarta, the concert venue, on Wednesday night (Nov 15), because they were either not subsequently given the tickets by the sellers or were sent fake tickets.
