Famous Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh is at the centre of controversy ahead of his Dil-Luminati Tour in Delhi. A Delhi-based law student has sent a legal notice to Dosanjh, accusing the concert organisers of malpractice in ticket sales for the highly anticipated event, scheduled to begin at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 26, 2024.
Diljit Dosanjh Faces Allegations of Malpractice in Ticket Sales
According to a report by Free Press Journal, the legal notice was sent by Riddhima Kapoor, a law student from Delhi, who claimed that she could not secure a ticket for the concert due to an alleged discrepancy in the booking process. Kapoor accused the organisers of unfair trade practices and consumer rights violations after they opened the booking window one minute early, at 12:59 pm, instead of the announced time of 1 pm on September 12. This allowed several fans to book tickets within seconds, leaving many disappointed.
Kapoor mentioned that she obtained an HDFC Credit Card to avail of the early-bird passes. Still, due to the early opening of ticket sales, she missed out on securing a ticket. She further alleged that the sudden unavailability of tickets strongly indicated scalping and hoarding practices by the organisers, suggesting that tickets may have been resold at inflated prices, violating the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
Legal Notice Accuses Organisers of Scalping
The legal notice sent by Kapoor states, “This abrupt and suspicious transaction strongly suggests manipulation and scalping practices. The sudden unavailability of tickets indicates that your organisation may be artificially inflating demand and manipulating prices, which constitutes an unfair trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.” Kapoor added that the practice of scalping and ticket hoarding was not only unfair but also an act of bad faith towards consumers.
Delhi Police’s Creative Warning Against Fraudulent Ticket Sales
Amid the growing controversy, the Delhi Police took to social media to warn fans about potential fraudulent ticket sales for Dosanjh’s upcoming concert. In a witty post, they shared a video of a concert set to Diljit’s popular track Born To Shine and issued a clever warning, advising fans to be cautious when purchasing tickets online.
The caption read, “Paise Puse Baare Soche Duniya, Alert Rehkar Online Fraud Se Bache Duniya,” cautioning concertgoers to stay alert and avoid falling prey to online fraud.
