Malaysian authorities will meet the organizer of a Coldplay concert after complaints from fans who couldn’t get tickets for the British rock band’s performance because scalpers have bought them in bulk for resale.

The meeting will focus on measures that can be taken by the organizer to ensure the issue doesn’t reoccur, Bernama reported, citing Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil. The ministry will also examine legal provisions in case it needs to take action, Fahmi said, according to the report.
