In the capital Lucknow, tickets for the concert of Punjabi singer Diljit Singh were sold in black. Tickets worth three thousand were sold by brokers for nine thousand. A large number of fans had gathered outside Ekana Stadium since afternoon in search of tickets. People who did not have tickets were demanding tickets from the security personnel at the counter at the gate.
As the crowd of people increased, brokers also became active. Brokers in different gangs were selling tickets ranging from silver to gold. A girl who came from Delhi requested to give a ticket worth Rs 3000 for Rs 3500, but the broker refused. The broker asked for seven thousand rupees.
