Another mishap could have happened after witnessing this stampede-like situation in Chennai for music maestro A R Rahman's concert. The visuals to get an entry at the AR Rahman concert are disturbing, and it can be seen how people were struggling to get in despite having the tickets with them. After several videos of people grieving to get an entry at the concert went viral and a lot of backlash, AR Rahman finally reacted to the entire incident and took to his Twitter account and wrote," Dearest Chennai Makkale, those of you who purchased tickets and weren't able to enter owing to unfortunate circumstances, please do share a copy of your ticket purchase with arr4chennai@btos.in along with your grievances. Our team will respond asap". Also Read - AR Rahman's daughters Raheema and Khatija defend their father after concert controversy

Many are being sent out from concert.

Many aren't allowed inside despite having passes.

Horrible experience at @arrahman concert. Horrible Sound Systems, zero crowd control and they have sold much more tickets than capacity. All late comers were standing in front of those who were sitting and on the pathway #ARRahman #arrahmanconcert your are the worst @actcevents pic.twitter.com/xBn0KyGqNO

@arrahman Absolute scam at Rahman's concert in ECR. ECR is completely blocked with thousands of cars. Not an exaggeration. We have traveled 6kms in 3hours. 1 lakh tickets sold for a venue with only 10k occupancy. Couldnt even enter the venue, they blocked at 7pm #ARRahmanconcert pic.twitter.com/yClAV3eeaj

It's indeed heartbreaking to see how the fans almost saved their lives in the stampede-like situation at the AR Rahman concert, and the management could have definitely been a little more responsible.
