Get ready for a Diwali like no other, because the excitement surrounding Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming ‘Dil-luminati’ tour is pushing airfares to astronomical heights! With the Punjabi superstar set to perform in Delhi on October 26-27, fans are flocking to the capital, causing a frenzy that has even overshadowed the usual Diwali rush.
A recent search for flights reveals that the Dosanjh fever has driven airfares sky-high. One-way tickets from Mumbai to Delhi for October 26, the day of Dosanjh’s concert, are reaching a whopping ₹11,000 to ₹12,000 – a significant jump compared to the ₹5,899 price tag on October 30, just a day before Diwali!
This trend extends to other major routes like Hyderabad-Delhi, Bangalore-Delhi, and Mumbai-Delhi. If you’re flying from Mumbai to catch the 6 pm concert, be prepared to shell out ₹11,686 for an Indigo flight. The situation is similar for flights from Bangalore, averaging between ₹10,854 to ₹11,528.
The demand for concert tickets has been equally intense. In fact, tickets for Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Dil-luminati’ tour sold out across multiple cities even before many fans could snag one. The Delhi Police have even issued a warning to fans seeking alternative ways to obtain concert tickets.
Meanwhile, while the exact date of Diwali remains a topic of discussion (October 31 or November 1), airfares for travel during the festival remain relatively stable. A one-way ticket from Mumbai to Delhi on October 29 is priced at ₹7,848, over ₹3,000 cheaper than on Diljit’s concert dates. Similarly, flights from Bangalore to Delhi for the same date are priced around ₹8,000.
So, if you’re planning to travel to Delhi for Diwali, be prepared to face a surge in airfares if your trip coincides with Diljit Dosanjh’s concert. It’s a testament to the immense popularity of the Punjabi singer and the contagious excitement that surrounds his performances.
