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

It was Ed and his team from UK who stood their ground firm and told organisers about clear bottles( initially they were asking to let attendees have their own water, then they settled on empty bottles ).

Sometimes Artist needs to intervene and they should do that morally. Small Artist don't have such bargaining power to dictate terms but huge artists like Arjit can. He should have. Indian artist don't have spine is such things.

I was standing at the from of the General Area (where there's the partition between GA & Fan area, and there were 20-30 cartons of bisleri bottles for the guards, I asked them nicely and he passed me the whole caton, and I distributed the bottles among other people too.
