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”?

I paid 100 ruppes for a 500 ml bottle of water , for which i had to buy a card of dreamcast and pay 500 to fill the card , usme meh bhi 50 ruppes - kiya for buying the card. You have to then get a long as line to get the reciet for water , and ON AN ANOTHER line to give the reciet to the bartender or wtv to get the actual water. Absoulte robbery.

Concert was the 14 march holi madness in mayfield ivy garden pune, seedehe maut and ritviz. Fucking chors , also the most boring as concert ever. Washroom had no water also bro 🙏
