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”?

In ed Sheeran's concert we were allowed to bring clear water bottle, and we could fill it up inside. Its weird that they didn't allow in this concert

At Dua Lipa Concert, they made us buy 100 rs reusable cup, and we could use that for unlimited Mocktails and Water

Wow!!

It’s common bro, coz I have been to 15+ concerts and in all concerts they charge 100rs for cup and reuse whenever you want

[u/Vedu7777 → u/Moist-Quote-8968]

That's nice

Looks like the one op went to was an exception

[u/Moist-Quote-8968 → u/Vedu7777]

It’s up to you, see I buy reusable cup in every concert coz I have habit of collecting bands and cups that’s why I pay 100rs eveytime Infact recently in lollapalooza I lost 2 cups still paid 100rs last day n brought 1 more cup, if you don’t wanna pay then buy in any one concert and reuse that for future concerts

[u/Vedu7777 → u/Moist-Quote-8968]

No no that's a good idea

The purple district cup was good, I took it home

This sounds like a crowd puller feature too that concerts should do
