Nevada (US), Mar 17 (ANI): Some of the tickets for Oscar winner A.R. Rahman’s Chicago (USA) June 18 “Jai Ho Concert” are now selling for 1,050 dollars per person on his official website.

Acclaimed Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, urged Rahman to lower the price of the bottom ticket to 20 dollars so that all his fans could enjoy his Concert in these times of recession. Zed, who is chairperson of Indo-American Leadership Confederation, however, commended Rahman for taking the Indian music to new heights and bringing respect and international recognition to Indian film music.
The “A.R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour” kicks off at the Nassau Coliseum (New York, USA) on June 11 spanning 16 major cities worldwide, and ending at Wembley Stadium (London, UK) on July 26. Additional dates may be announced.

It is termed as a “virtual journey through beauty, culture, and spirituality” and also as “theatrical experience” utilizing “new technologies.”(ANI)
