Ed Sheeran, the global music sensation, is gearing up to make his way to India next year, as a part of the Asian leg of his '+ - = ÷ x' tour. His chart-topping tracks, including 'Shape Of You,' 'Thinking Out Loud,' 'Photograph' and 'Beautiful People,' have already established dedicated fanbases in India. Unsurprisingly, anticipation is soaring as his Mumbai performance draws near, with fans eagerly awaiting the opportunity to witness the popstar in action.

What's particularly intriguing is that some fans are reportedly acquiring credit cards to secure tickets for the concert at a more affordable price. According to a report of a media house, Kotak Mahindra Bank, in collaboration with the organisers of the Mumbai show, has witnessed a substantial surge in credit card applications. Previously receiving around 5,000 to 6,000 applications daily, the bank is now inundated with approximately 30,000 applications per day, all in response to the upcoming tour.

Ed Sheeran's concert tickets, which are priced at a minimum of Rs 7,500, were made available for Rs 5,500 exclusively for white credit cardholders during the pre-sale period, as reported by the daily. These pre-sale opportunities for tickets, spanning a range from Rs 7,500 to Rs 30,000, were accessible for a limited two-day window, further igniting the excitement and demand among fans.
