The recent Bryan Adams concert in Mumbai, part of his 'So Happy It Hurts' India tour, has sparked controversy over inadequate amenities, with concertgoers sharing their frustrations online. Entrepreneur Sheldon Aranjo took to LinkedIn to recount his unpleasant experience at the Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre. Sharing a photo of his urine-soiled pants, he highlighted the dire shortage of washrooms, stating, "I PAID to PEE (in my pants) at the Bryan Adams concert."

'You Guys Should Be Ashamed'

Aranjo described the chaos: long lines at the limited washrooms, confusion over entry to different ticket-holder facilities, and his eventual resort to finding a secluded tree after failing to hold on.

He revealed he suffers from diabetes-related continence issues and criticised the organisers, EVA Global Events, for providing “~3 loos per 1,000 people.”

'No One Cares About Fans' Health'

His LinkedIn post also pointed to other grievances, including lengthy queues at food stalls and the cash-loading process for payments in an era dominated by UPI transactions.

While tickets for the concert were available on Zomato Live, another LinkedIn user, Prithiraj M., clarified that Zomato and its founder, Deepinder Goyal, were only the online ticketing partners and had no role in event management. He wrote, “Zomato Live was only the ticketing partner or the aggregator for the concerned event. They could have only helped you with the ticket-related stuff. EVA is the organiser and you should be addressing them without bashing Zomato or the founder for no reason.”

This isn’t an isolated incident. Prarthana Batra, another user, recalled similar issues during AP Dhillon’s Delhi concert, stating, “Long queues, stinky washrooms, no lights, no water, no soap, no tissues, no housekeeping staff - the perfect mix for spreading infections. No one cares about the health of the fans.”

Despite the chaos, attendees praised Bryan Adams' performance for salvaging an otherwise poorly managed evening. The incident has reignited discussions on the need for better crowd management and basic facilities at large-scale events in India.
