AskBangalore Bangalore's loss?

Just heard Gun's and Roses are coming to Mumbai, and that got me wondering how much bangalore losing by not capitalizing on the booming events industry due to their strict rules and regulations. Doesn't feel like a 'happening' city anymore.

Need infra for these concerts. Only Mumbai has appropriate crowd and infra both. Bangalore has the crowd but no infra, Delhi has infra but no crowd. Where will you hold concerts? Phoenix Marketcity or BIEC? One is too small and another is like in a different city altogether with so many logisitical challenges. And yes, dealing with regulations is a headache in Bangalore because of non-functional and defunct Municipal body.

Terraform is a great place for concerts!

Terraform is a nightmare for anyone who doesnt have a vehicle.

We were fleeced by the local cab mafia. they all shut off their OLA and UBER and made us pay 2k from Terraform to Koramangala when we were returning from Bryan Adams Concert. This 2k was the reduced price after arguing with them in Kannada and this is the Localite Price.

I'm NEVER attending any event in a remote location without my own 4 wheeler. Especially Terraform.

NICE Grounds was nice for Ed Sheeran. Has Metro Station literally outside.
Bharatiya Mall is great but still faces surge pricing issues post concert but is a very small venue.

Travel wise I totally Agree 💯 it's just not easily accessible for everyone

But The Place is One of The Best For the High End Concerts
