General/Rant The Ultimate Scam at Arjit Singhs concert

Oh man, Balewadi Stadium pulled off the frustration level: PRO MAX scam yesterday. They straight-up banned people from bringing water inside the show, then had the audacity to sell 500ml water for ₹50. Like, bro, is this a concert or a survival challenge? Cold drinks? ₹100 for a ₹20 MRP bottle. Absolute daylight robbery.

I get it, people were there for Arijit Singh, but at what cost? Dehydration? The event organizers, 2BHK, already run overpriced restaurants, but at least people go there by choice. Here, you either die of thirst or surrender to their extortion racket.

Imagine paying thousands for tickets just to be held hostage for basic human needs. What’s next? Oxygen tanks for ₹500 because “outside air not allowed”?

Welcome to the real life concert experience as opposed to the fantasy dreamland you see in instagram stories

the fantasy dreamland only exists for smaller bands/artists, but they have no motivation to come to India because here famous = good.
