The young man explains how he went to a Coldplay concert and got his ticket money back
Gabriela shared on social media how she won 130 euros, legally, at the British band’s concert in Barcelona.
Chris Martin’s ambition fulfilled
Four Coldplay concerts in Coimbra did not leave indifferent the Portuguese. In the past week, many stories and reports have been shared about this intense experience in the middle of the country. After the shows ended, the British troupe left for Barcelona, Spain, where the viewers’ reactions were similar. However, in this case, there has been a story that has been gaining attention on social media in recent days.
Gabriela Alvarez was present at a Coldplay show and, along with her friends, found the perfect opportunity to make money legally. During the ceremony, thousands of people ran to the tables around the stadium to drink water, beer or other soft drinks. But for this they needed a reusable plastic cup, which in Barcelona costs 2 euros. Then, if they want it, they just need to fill it up again and they’ll just pay for the drink. What few know is that if they return the glasses at the respective counters, they will be refunded initially.
The young woman gathered her friends and they went in search of glasses to return. In total, they have collected 130 euros, as revealed by the Spaniard in a video shared on TikTok on Sunday, May 28th. The photos quickly went viral and have already garnered over three million views and thousands of comments.
In Portugal, there were those who tried to do the same, but to no avail. When they went to the bar to return the glass they were refused a refund.
