The fourth fan in his complaint tweeted, ¡°It was worst concert ever in the History #ARRahman #Scam2023 by #ACTC. Respect Humanity. 30 Years of the Fan in me died today Mr. #ARRAHMAN. #MarakkumaNenjam Marakkavey Mudiyathu (can't forget). A performer on the stage can never see what¡¯s happening in other areas just watch it.¡±

Even for people who bought the best seats, things were equally taxing. One user shared, ¡°I am Devastated. AR Rahman is literally the only artist I look up to. He's everything to me. I love him with all my heart. But, I got trampled and had a full-blown anxiety attack and a breakdown even though I bought Gold tickets. I cannot begin to imagine what others went through.¡±
Very badly organised concert. Waste of money. Energy.

Several users claimed that the management was misbehaving with attendees.
One user wrote, ¡°This is how the so-called volunteers behaved in the Gold class area. @actcevents is this how you treat the "Guests"? @arrahman how could you act like nothing happened on stage? There were shouts about "Volume" & "ACTC DOWN" throughout.¡±
#MarakkumaNenjam When ppl questioned why there are no seats for 100s of ppl, when only planned no of tickets would have been sold? Things got out of hand and this is how the organizers behaved. @arrahman @polimernews @NewsTamilTV24x7 @actcevents pic.twitter.com/26xrZgfsS8

AR Rahman¡¯s team on the other hand had a positive take on the concert. ACTC Events tweeted on Monday, ¡°Grateful to Chennai and the legendary @arrahman Sir! The incredible response and the overwhelming crowd made our show a massive success. Those who couldn't attend due to overcrowding, Our sincere apologies. We take full responsibility and are accountable. We are with you. #MarakkumaNenjam.¡±
