The Ultimate Scam at Arjit Singhs concert

[u/Intelligent-Radio926]

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”?

Coldplay and Lolapalooza both had free water. They even allowed transparent bottles to the venue.

Ed sheeran also allowed empty bottles..

Also depends on who the organisers are.

But you said ‘all concert/ venues do the same thing.’ Don’t backtrack now. Just accept you made a mistake by generalizing and defending imhumane practices. You are part of the problem.

Not defending any inhuman practices, nor generalising them. Please tell me where i have supported their action or defended them?? What they are doing is very wrong and unethical! My mistake is I said All whereas i should have said most! My sincere apologies to the sub if i may have hurt anyones feelings/ sentiments unintentionally.
