AP Dhillon’s feud with Diljit Dosanjh has been grabbing a lot of eyeballs on social media. Meanwhile, AP addressed the controversy around concerts in India selling out within seconds, including those of Diljit’s ongoing Dil-Luminati Tour.
“India mein abhi crisis aa jayega agar isi hisab se chalta raha. Artists are being unfair with their own fans ki 15 seconds mein sell out ho gaye shows. Kuchh bhi sell out nahi hua hai. It’s all a way of marketing. Promoters ko ticket de dete hain. Their fans, ab unko wait karna padta hai, aur higher price mein ticket khareedna padta hai,” said AP Dhillon.
“At some point, humein bhi yehi laga, should we play this game? But I’m like no, we can’t go to bed knowing that jinhone show dekhne aana tha, humne unke sath aise kiya. You name it, koi bhi show ho raha hai jo sold out hai, mujhe batao, 2,000 tickets chahiye, kal hi dilwa dunga. Aaj hi dilwa dunga. Log music ko abhi game ki tarah khel rahe hain. So usi mein mazza jo hai kharab ho gaya,” added the singer.
He said people will soon realise what’s happening. Calling it a “dirty game,” AP argued that artists aren’t bigger than fans, and the fans at least deserve to buy tickets at reasonable prices. While AP didn’t name any particular artist because this tactic is working for them, he claimed that artists at a higher stature shouldn’t indulge in these practices because it wouldn’t help them much.
Diljit Dosanjh’s ongoing Dil-Luminati Tour in India reportedly sold out within seconds. At a concert, Diljit argued that he has nothing to do with that and that he’s been working on his music for years so he’s earned this fan frenzy.
