Akhilesh Yadav said everyone should have equal rights to Entertainment
Currently amid ticket chaos of british rock band Coldplay’s ‘Music Of The Spheres World’ mumbai concert, Samajwadi party chief akhilesh yadav on monday raised his concern over the reselling of the tickets at exorbitant prices.Perhaps “The rush that has been created in the country for advance booking of a musical concert of international repute is a matter of concern. As soon as the booking opens, all the tickets get booked within a short time and then the news of those tickets being sold in black for lakhs, at 20-50 times the price, is a challenge at the level of governance and administration,” he said in a post on X.
Meanwhile Yadav further urged the government to take action over illegal sales of tickets and fake ticket racket. He said that in such processes, the real money is earned by middlemen, due to which the rights of the artists are violated.
Moreover he added “The truth is that everyone should have equal rights to entertainment. If art is limited to the purchasing power of a few people, then it becomes just a business. It is not possible for a rich person to always be an expert, connoisseur or a true enjoyer of art. In such a situation, artists do not get true respect nor does their art get proper appreciation. This is the human-social aspect of art that it should be accessible to all”.
