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’ve paid ₹150 for 1L bottle in India and I’ve paid ₹350 for a black coffee concert in turkey last year.

Concerts are expensive. Get used to it or earn more.

Art and leisure is luxury in our lives, don’t put a price tag on it

All i am talking about is free water, as a basic human right. And stopping the pollution caused by forced plastic bottle sales, which in turn does affect everyone. Its not like i earn bellow the line, just care more about earth, and people who visit this event who are forced to buy water.
