Coldplay has created a buzz on social media, with fans going into a frenzy to buy tickets. Netizens are even posting screenshots of themselves waiting in virtual queues to confirm their tickets, expressing frustration over failing to secure them. Amid this, an MBA student took a unique approach to seek a job opportunity. His strategy paid off, as he landed a few referrals. "Hustle Max Pro: A student joined a Coldplay ticket-related thread and asked working professionals for referrals, succeeding with a few," wrote Saumil Tripathi, sharing a screenshot on X (formerly known as Twitter).
As per the screenshot, a discussion was ongoing on Grapevine where people were sharing their ticketing woes. A student replied to a comment, writing, "Hi, can you please give me a referral for a fresher’s role? I’m pursuing an MBA in finance."
An individual, working at Razorpay, replied to his comment, saying, "Asking for a referral even in the Coldplay queue. This is the coldest email I have ever seen."
