 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

 Over 10 Million Compete for Coldplay Concert Tickets Amidst Allegations of Rigged Sales


The British rock band Coldplay is set to perform three shows in Mumbai as part of their Music of the Spheres world tour, but fans are facing significant challenges in securing tickets. After going on sale last Sunday, tickets priced between 2,500 and 12,000 rupees sold out within minutes, with over 10 million people vying for just 180,000 available tickets. Many fans reported hours-long digital queues and site crashes, leading to allegations that the ticket sales were rigged. Resellers quickly capitalized on the situation, offering tickets for inflated prices—some reaching as high as 900,000 rupees—before they were officially released.


The controversy surrounding ticket scalping has sparked a broader discussion in India about the practices of resellers who use bots to bypass queues and purchase multiple tickets for resale. While ticket scalping is illegal in India, experts suggest that it still occurs, with some legitimate ticket holders selling their tickets at a profit due to overwhelming demand. The official ticketing platform, BookMyShow (BMS), has denied any affiliation with resellers and advised fans to avoid unauthorized sources, but skepticism remains among concertgoers regarding the platform's measures to prevent such practices.


Graphic designer Dwayne Dias managed to secure four tickets for the Coldplay concert at 6,450 rupees each and has been approached by individuals willing to pay up to 60,000 rupees per ticket. He noted that if he chose to sell his tickets, he could finance a trip to see Coldplay perform in South Korea instead. This incident highlights not only the inflated prices of popular concert tickets but also the growing demand for live music events in India, which generated approximately 8,000 million rupees in revenue last year and is projected to increase significantly by 2025.
