JAKARTA - Marcell Darwin and Tarra Budiman became public figures who were looking forward to Coldplay's performance in Jakarta on November 15. Both had hoped to win tickets sold online, but failed.

Marcell said he had followed the ticket war to be able to watch Coldplay live. However, he did not get the category of the desired festival.

"It's been sold out, I'm looking at the festival, (if other categories) 11 million is not worth it. As long as it's still at the festival, as long as you can see Chris Martin, that's it," said Marcell Darwin to the media crew at FX Sudirman, South Jakarta on Wednesday, May 17.

If it still doesn't work in the upcoming war ticket, Marcell will try various ways to still be able to watch the British band. However, when asked if he would use broker services to get tickets, Marcell could not confirm yet.

"You have to get a ticket. (If you use a broker) We'll see later, you have to watch the main thing," said Marcell.

Similar to Marcell Darwin, Tarra Budiman also participated in a ticket war and was unsuccessful. In fact, he had asked his friend for help to get the desired ticket.

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't get it. Even I told my friends, if I found it, I'll buy it first, it's up to anywhere, I'll change it," said Tarra Budiman.

The husband of Gya Sadiqah regretted that Coldplay's concert in Indonesia only took place in a day. He hopes that there will be an additional day for more Indonesians to watch.

If he still doesn't get an official ticket, Tarra says he doesn't want to use ticket brokers. He prefers to watch Coldplay concerts elsewhere.

"I'll just go abroad if I don't get it in Indonesia," concluded Tarra Budiman.
