Advice Needed for Ahmedabad Coldplay Concert!
Hi everyone,
I managed to secure tickets for Coldplay's concert in Ahmedabad on January 25th, but I have a few questions as this will be my first time visiting the city. I'm traveling from Mumbai and would appreciate any advice on the following:
Best Mode of Transport: Should I travel from Mumbai to Ahmedabad by Vande Bharat Express, or would it be better to drive my car?
Parking at the Stadium: If I bring my car, what is the parking situation at the stadium? In Mumbai, we're usually advised against bringing private vehicles to concerts due to parking challenges, especially at major events like Coldplay/ Justin beiber concerts at D.Y.P stadium or those at Mahalaxmi Ground.
Traffic During Events: What can I expect in terms of traffic during such large events? For example, how was the traffic situation during the India vs. Pakistan World Cup match?
Hotel Costs: Should I book a hotel as soon as possible, or will prices drop as demand decreases closer to the event? Some friends suggest that prices might come down in Ahmedabad. From your experience, is it better to secure a booking early, or can I wait and potentially find better rates as the event date approaches? Any insights on how hotel pricing trends work in Ahmedabad, especially during major events, would be really helpful.
Hotel Area Recommendations: Which areas would you recommend for booking a hotel room to maximize connectivity and avoid traffic issues? Ideally, I'd like to stay somewhere with good public transportation links and minimal traffic congestion. Are there specific neighborhoods or districts in Ahmedabad that are known for their convenience and accessibility, especially for first-time visitors?
I really want to ensure my concert experience is smooth and enjoyable, so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
