One video shows a fight inside the venue of Karan Aujla’s Delhi concert.

Why did the Karan Aujla concert in Delhi turn chaotic?

The massive queues, scuffles, confusions created chaotic scenes at the venue. Many also gatecrashed Karan Aujla's concert and there were fights among attendees. A viral video shows a crowd in front of the box office, and asking for their wrist bands.

Some videos show the box office counters damaged. There were also physical fights, with one altercation inside the VIP section.

One user slamming the management wrote, “Concert was no doubt amazing… but the management could be better , no police no security,” “This is why I question whether India is ready for concert culture…seriously stealing peoples tickets and then fighting inside the venue too,” read another comment.

A disappointed attendee called it a "mess" and "disaster" and also demanded that District should be penalised.

“When you fill 70k people in the stadium whose actual capacity is under 35k- 40k then this was bound to happen. @districtculture clearly lacks basic skill set in organising the event,” wrote another social media user.

“My daughter went yesterday the water bottle was ₹250- and food too was damn expensive she spent ₹6K for the tickets shear waste of time effort n money with such mismanaged show,” shared one.

An attendee slammed the organisers calling it “Zero management legittttm,” while another wrote, “I had fanpit still wasn't able to go in fanpit… due to the crowd and management closed entry.”
