Chennai: On Sunday night, live concert of AR Rahman held at Adityaram Palace in Chennai’s Paniyur, receives severe criticism from fans due to poor management, leading to fights and chaos. Oscar Award winning composer AR Rahman is a big name of music industry. He held a concert titled ‘Marakuma Nenjam’ in Chennai. But, fans who attended the music maestro’s concert took to social media platform X (known as twitter) and shared videos and their ‘bizarre’ experiences online.
However, when the event took place, fans had to face a lot of problems. Fans claimed that there was a stampede-like situation, resulting in women being harassed and children being separated and injured. Thousands of fans alleged that organisers oversold tickets, and expressed their disappointment on X demanding answers from ACTC Events.
The participants of the event vented their anger towards the poor organization and management of the event by sharing several videos and pictures on social media. The audience present at the program said that they had to face a horrific situation there.
One woman claimed that she had paid 5000 for a ticket and there is no management, seats are seemed to be free to all. Another woman said, “It’s overcrowded, a stampede-like situation. No regulation at all”.

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

Horrible experience at @arrahman concert. Horrible Sound Systems, zero crowd control and they have sold much more tickets than capacity. All late comers were standing in front of those who were sitting and on the pathway #ARRahman #arrahmanconcert your are the worst @actcevents pic.twitter.com/xBn0KyGqNO

@arrahman Absolute scam at Rahman's concert in ECR. ECR is completely blocked with thousands of cars. Not an exaggeration. We have traveled 6kms in 3hours. 1 lakh tickets sold for a venue with only 10k occupancy. Couldnt even enter the venue, they blocked at 7pm #ARRahmanconcert pic.twitter.com/yClAV3eeaj
