Film trade analyst Manobal Vijayabalan shared a video and expressed disappointment for AR Rahman fans, he posted a video showing a fan toring the concert ticket and saying an unforgettable event and the worst gift for AR Rahman to the people.”A fan paid almost 15k for the concert and almost died in the stampede. The crowd was flowing from every corner and said never to attend his concert. Calling it the worst concert ever in the history, a performer can’t never see what’s happening at the other areas, just watch it.
Stampede like situation happening in #ARRahman concert.
Many are being sent out from concert.
Many aren’t allowed inside despite having passes.
All price category pass holders are mixed without segregating them to their respective pass category.
Parking is also a major… pic.twitter.com/qLmZRHbYZl

Looks like many are unable to hear anything at #MarakkumaNenjam concert ft. #ARRahman.
Crowds chanting volume, volume, volume.
Also, few are saying shocking stories about event management. pic.twitter.com/t7CQqPnQ1S
