UPDATE: Since a venue and date change, new ticket sales numbers have been announced, including much better prices. Look HERE for details!
Late last month, we had the annual India Festival here in Tampa.
Among the dozens of vendors was an IIFA booth, and one of my Bollywood Club
members just happened to stop by for a chat (I didn’t).
She passed along this news to me:
IIFA tickets were on presale there at a “discount,” with
anticipated full prices listed beside them. The cheap seats? $1,200 at the
festival, $1,800 afterward. The ticket prices go all the way up from there to
$12,500.
I have been trying but unable to get anyone official to confirm this
information to me, and that’s another annoyance, but I thought this was
information that needed to be shared — even though no one seems to be
publicizing it. I’ve included the photo my friend took as proof if you’re
reluctant to trust my nonofficial reporting.
I’m told the deal on IIFA tickets was this: You can’t buy
tickets for individual events. That $1,800 is for a three-day pass to the
awards, the celebrity cricket match (celebs versus real cricketers, we’re told)
and the “Magic of Movies” event. Oh, and it appears if you’re paying for those
$1,800 or $2,500 seats, you’ll be sitting outside for that last event, watching a
simulcast on a TV screen.
I must confess yours truly is highly disappointed. This is
an event in demand, for sure, but there appears to be zero attempt to make this
affordable for any average person. Especially those of us normal folks who also have to make
trips to India
in the same year. (Heck, for this price, I could fly to Mumbai, watch a cricket
match and stalk the stars there, right?)
I’m still up for anyone wanting to come and hang out around Tampa during the awards, maybe even checking out some of the stars’ hotels.
But I guess we average folks get to hope for a little less
official and a lot more affordable events.
i heard a rumor that the bollywood event was moved from june to april 2014-anyone know if there is any truth to this?
ReplyDeleteI have not heard anything about that. It's still June as far as I know.
Deletethank you-!
DeleteActually it turns out they are considering it, but nothing is changed yet. http://m.bizjournals.com/tampabay/news/2013/12/04/iifa-planners-consider-venue-date.html?r=full
Deleteyes it is April 26th now
DeleteHi! So what if we want these "VIP" tickets right now? Are they still on sale through certain people? Your help would be very much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThey are not on sale now. Ticket sales will be announced next month.
DeleteThey are on sale now -- with better prices! http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/tickets-for-iifa-awards-bollywood-oscars-in-tampa-go-on-sale-online/2160831
