Diljit concert tickets soar to ₹20,000 from the original price of ₹5,000

Singer Diljit Dosanjh’s live concert, scheduled for Sunday in Gandhinagar, has seen tickets selling for as high as ₹20,000.

These tickets are being resold through social media platforms in black market sales, and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is closely monitoring these activities.

So far, 10 individuals have been arrested for the illegal resale of tickets.

The original prices of the Silver and Gold passes are ₹3,000 and ₹5,000, respectively.

 However, the price of Silver passes has skyrocketed to ₹15,000, while Gold passes are being sold for ₹20,000 through platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook groups.

Meanwhile, fans of Diljit Dosanjh are going crazy over the tickets, and many are unknowingly purchasing fake ones. 

Sources from the ED report that many of these tickets are counterfeit, and the sellers are misleading people with fake tickets.

In connection with the black market ticket sales for Diljit Dosanjh’s live concert, ED officials conducted raids at 13 locations across the country, seizing mobile phones, laptops, and SIM cards. Investigations are ongoing in Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Bangalore, and Chandigarh.

Local police and officials from the GST department have also joined the probe, though they have remained tight-lipped about the specifics.

These tickets are being sold with both Central and State GST included in the price. 

Officials have noted a high volume of black market ticket sales in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar but have not provided further details.

Additionally, Coldplay, who recently announced some shows in India as part of their world tour, has also seen black-market ticket sales.

Notably, a new concert in Ahmedabad has been announced by Coldplay for January 25. Ticket sales for this event will commence on Saturday, with BookMyShow as the official sales partner. 

However, many black marketers have already listed or scheduled the tickets on their websites. Platforms like Viagogo have already listed tickets for the Ahmedabad Coldplay concert, which will officially go on sale this Saturday.
