E.G. needs to sell 11, 000 more tix to break even.

They haven't done so yet.

The VIP party is to show Bachchan/Wizcraft that they have their act together.

media conference is a last minute addition to the schedule in the hopes of bringing in more media and thus more ticket buyers.

all of this could have been avoided if they just priced their tix on par with the rest of the shows across the US and the States/London.

Its as simple as that. And yes again, I'm expressing my own opinion, if you want to go, go and enjoy yourself, for me, I just can't justify spending the money and I list reasons why.

But I would TOTALLY watch the dance routine you all are doing....and would gladly fork over hundreds of dollars..no problem!





I agree with you BollyHolly completely. The prices are very ridicolous. My gf had wanted to go but after seeing the prices she opted not to. A night out for an average income family of 4 could end up between $500 to $600. And they won't be nowhere near the stage and might have to watch it on a Jumbotron or something.

Here is the cost breakdown for the cheapest tickets: family of 4 X $100 per ticket = $400 + service charges + food + overpriced parking on that day = $500 or even more. Add to that the gas prices for familes travelling from as far as Sauga, Hamilton and Brampton etc..


it appears the promoters basically want to weed out "fobs" aka "hardcore fans" to show off to their non-indian guests who will probably be at the event. Or try to get more non-indians to attend. But, at work I've been asked by non-indians "Do they sing?" "Do they act out scenes"? "Do you get to meet them for that price?" To which I sadly reply NO. They simply laugh and say "these are some up prices then". They haven't even paid this much to watch their favorite band.

I would have loved to go and support the acts but sadly I cannot afford it. I cannot justify this expense just to watch something that requires little effort on the performers part. Sure they dance, but thats' about it with huge intervals inbetween.

I am totally agreed with you, bcos total cost for family of 4 will come around $500 or more!!

total entertaintment hrs may only 3 or 4 hrs. that means $500/4 hrs = $125/hr.

How much we are earning in one hr?????

If you divieded these hrs with every stars which is going to perform like, Amitabh, Abhishek, Ash, Ritesh, Akshay,priety..........etcc than each star will come to perform for hardly 20 to 30 minutes........ is it worthful to pay premium price to see our star for only few hrs with our hard earned money????

still tix are available that means definately something is going on??

I guess the sponsors overestimated a lot of things:
* NRIs/Canadians in Canada have lot of extra money to spare for such show..thus high tkt price!
* fan following is highest in Toronto for all these stars and they wouldn't mind buying such exp tkts!
So now that tkts are still avilable with just 2more days to go for the show clearly indicates people are smarter and won't pay More for getting Less( Madhuri not performing!).
