The Delhi Police's Cyber Team has busted a gang selling fake tickets for actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming concert in Delhi. A man has been arrested for selling the tickets through a fake online payment link.
Dosanjh, as part of his Dil-Luminati tour, will perform across 10 cities including the national capital. He is set to perform in New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 26 and 27. There was an overwhelming demand for tickets to Dosanjh's concerts as tickets for his Delhi show were sold out within minutes, leading to the website crashing.
Dosanjh reacted to the development on his Instagram Stories. He commended the Delhi police for the action taken and asked people to be aware of fake tickets.

There were just three types of tickets available in Delhi: Silver, which costs between Rs 2499 and Rs 3499; Gold at Rs 11,999; and Fan Pit, which starts at Rs 19,999. Diljit stated that he is "overwhelmed" by the reception of his next Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024.
His 'Dil-Luminati' in Vancouver was the biggest tour by a Punjabi artist outside India.
Meanwhile, a complaint has been filed against the ticket booking app BookMyShow for fraud related to the live tickets for Coldplay and Dilluminati Concerts. A significant scam involving BookMyShow and the sale of Coldplay tickets also came to light, causing widespread concern among customers. Reports indicated that the platform charged exorbitant 'convenience fees,' leading to millions of rupees in earnings at the expense of consumers.
BookMyShow has also lodged an FIR against the illegal resale of tickets for Coldplay's concerts in Mumbai.
