British rock band Coldplay’s India concert caused quite a stir. His madness makes tickets hard to come by. Coldplay’s concert will be held in Mumbai on January 18, 19 and 21 next year. But once tickets opened on Sunday, they were sold out within minutes. Even the online booking app crashed.
The number of tickets is so high that black tickets are sold for Rs 1 to 3 lakh. “Privileged” celebrities like filmmaker Karan Johar couldn’t get tickets to Coldplay. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav reacts to the craze for rock bands in India.
What did Akhilesh Yadav say?
Akhilesh wrote on the social media platform that once reservations were opened, all the tickets were booked within a short period of time, and then the tickets were sold blacklisted at a price of twenty-fifty times, or one hundred thousand dollars, which raised questions about governance. It’s a challenge. Is there no government in the country that can stop this kind of illegal selling and counterfeiting of tickets?
“Artists should indeed receive due remuneration for their art, but in such an environment, the real income is earned by middlemen. On the one hand, the rights of artists are violated, and on the other hand, the interests of artists are harmed.” The government also receives taxes. “
“The truth is that everyone should have equal rights in entertainment. If art is limited to the purchasing power of a few, it is just a business. A rich man cannot always be a connoisseur, connoisseur or true enjoyment of art In this case, artists are not given true respect and their art is not given the appreciation it deserves. The human social aspect of art should be accessible to all.
Mumbai Police post on ticket rigging
Mumbai Police published a post claiming that Coldplay concert tickets were being sold in black. Mumbai Police wrote on the social media platform that buying or selling tickets on the black market can lead you to the most difficult adventure. For a magical experience, use only trustworthy sources. We all deserve a “sky full of stars” show.
Karan Johar is disappointed
Karan Johar also wanted to attend the concert, but he couldn’t get a ticket. The director expressed his sadness in an Insta story, writing: “Dear Privilege, Coldplay and Mini Kelly keep you grounded and feeling great.” “You can’t have everything you want. …..Lots of love, my dear!”
