Last week, after Diljit’s performance at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi, many fans complained of being scammed by fake ticket sellers. “It was a complete waste of time coming here,” said one disappointed fan who was turned away by security. Another said, “I came here without a ticket and met someone who sold me a fake ticket. They charged me a lot of money for this.”
Tour organizers had warned fans not to purchase tickets from anywhere other than the authorized seller, ZomatoLive. However, there were still many people who reported incidents of reselling or hoarding tickets. Even before the Jaipur event, Jaipur Police had issued an advisory for fans and concert goers about fake tickets.
