Justin Bieber, the international pop-star is visiting India for the first time and will be performing on May 10 in Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium. The singer is expected to stay for 5 days and will be landing on May 7th. Mumbai is one of the cities his Purpose World Tour will be performing.
Since the day, the news was released about the concert being held in India, since then there has been a lot of hype. The tickets price were high as Rs. 76,000 for VVIP. And its no surprise that in a span of few hours the VVIP tickets also got sold out. The price for the general audience was starting from 4,060 and went up to Rs. 25,200.
Anyway the show is happening in just a week, and the pop star will be in the town in no time. So a music journalist Arjun S Ravi has posted a list of demands that Justin Beiber has asked for his visit in India. The things in the list are absolutely over the limit. He is in India just for five days and I am pretty sure he will not have enough time to use ping pong table, play-station, IO HAWK that will be flown down in 10 containers along with of a sofa set, washing machine, refrigerator, upholstery, wardrobe cupboard and massage table.
