Viral | Influencer Slams Diljit Dosanjh For Charging Over '₹20K For 1 Ticket' Of Dil-Luminati Tour

Diljit Dosanjh is gearing up for his upcoming musical concert Dil-Luminati Tour in October. On Thursday, the team opened the sale of tickets and within minutes they were all sold out. While everyone is surprised with this, a Mumbai-based influencer Saumya Sahni is not happy with the price of the tickets. On early Friday, she dropped a post in which she called out the Punjabi singer saying that he has no right to charge ₹20K or ₹25K for a single ticket from his Indian fans. She shed light on the economy of the country and said "middle-class people have no access to him".

'Koi haq nahi banta ki woh 20-25 hazar rupaye ek concert ke charge kare'

She took to her Instagram handle and shared a video in which she expressed her disappointment after looking at the price of a ticket. She said that no Indian artiste should charge ₹20-25 thousand for a concert in India when they are already having concerts in other cities. "Woh teen sets play kar sakte hai. Kyunki aapke core audience ke paas paisa nahi hai, employment nahi hai, ek bohut hi limited means of entertainment hai. Bohot hi kam artistes hai joh iss desh ke liye, unki language mein perform kar pate hain. Aur uske baad ek middle-class insaan ka koi access nahi hai us artiste tak," she continued.

She added that kids and middle-class families could have gone to his concert had he lowered the price of his ticket. The artists make so much money with their overseas concerts that they could have been more considerate towards their Indian fans. She compared Diljit Dosanjh's concert ticket to Lollapalooza and said that the latter's ticket price is so low despite the massive lineup of international performances.

In her video, she wrote the text, "₹15K for a concert? In this economy???? In this country?" and captioned the video as, “My 2am thoughts are wildly class conscious.”

Netizens second Saumya's opinion

Soon after she dropped the post, followers flooded the comment section agreeing with her. A user wrote, "This is actually quite a fair assessment. Nirvana as a band always ensured their ticket prices remained extremely low so that their ACTUAL fans could attend the concert and not just people who could afford it." Another wrote, "As i keep saying, no one exploits the indians more than the indians themselves"

Another commented, "I attended Diljit’s Born to Shine concert in December 2022 in Mumbai and paid ₹3.5k for a fanpit ticket. This year, fanpit started at ₹10,000 and shot up to ₹20,000 in seconds lol. I understand that was just after covid and Diljit’s fandom has definitely increased since then, but an almost 200% to 500% rise in ticket prices in India is unjustifiable." A fan hailed Sunidhi Chauhan for her concert tickets and wrote, "Sunidhi Chauhan the realest i got fanpit ticket for just 3k (i would’ve paid more)"
