Music Director Rahman’s ‘Marakuma Nenjam’ concert was held on September 10 at Adityaram Palace City, ECR, Chennai. Poor organization of the event resulted in some people going home without attending the concert despite purchasing tickets worth thousands.
Fans attending the concert said the venue was overcrowded because organizers sold more tickets than they should.
Some fans complained that they felt panicked and suffocated due to the large crowd; some women said they were mistreated at the venue.
The organizers (ACTC Events) and music director Rahman faced severe criticism from fans and the public as traffic jams around the venue inconvenienced both live audiences and the embattled public.
These harsh criticisms led Hemans, founder and CEO of concert organizing company ACTC, to unconditionally apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable at the concert and take full responsibility for the poor organization of the concert.
