With the British rock band Coldplay all set to hold their biggest ever show in Ahmedabad early next year, a few hotels are upping the ante by offering rooms for ₹1.60 lakh for two nights, much beyond New Year rates.
Hotels within 20 kms of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the venue which boasts of a seating capacity of almost 1.32 lakh, where Coldplay is due to perform in January, are charging up to ₹1.60 lakh for a two-night stay, a hike so steep that it beats even New Year's Eve prices.
