, 41,265 on Diljit’s concert ticket
Social media was soon flooded with posts from people who were excited to get tickets, and also the disappointment of those who missed out on getting one.
Meanwhile, one X user claimed he “knows a girl” who spent a staggering amount of time Rs 41,265 was spent on Diljit’s concert tickets. User Kanishk Khurana said people need to “make better financial decisions”, suggesting that the amount is too much to spend on a three-hour concert.
The post proved to be divisive. Some agreed with Khurana and said the money could have been better spent elsewhere, while others were of the opinion that money spent on anything that brings happiness is not wasted money.
“It took me a long time to understand that just saving and investing won’t make me happy. Learn to spend on what makes you happy. For some, WC T20 matches are precious, for some, Sonu Nigam. It doesn’t matter. Be smart. Don’t be miserly,” wrote ex-user Siddharth Sharma.
X user Vaibhav agreed, adding, “I want to stay away from such negativity. If someone has the means and ability to buy a ticket, let them do so!”
Amar said, “I don’t have much knowledge about concerts. I was born and brought up in a lower middle class family. I can never afford such expensive tickets.”
