On these resale platforms, the $400 premium seat ticket has gone up to $40,000 (approximately Rs 33 lakh), and with platform fees added, the price reaches an eye-watering $50,000 (about Rs 41 lakh). For those looking for more affordable options on SeatGeek, the cheapest tickets start at $1,198 (Rs 99,305) and go up to an incredible $179,500 (Rs 1.48 crore). After platform fees, the ultimate ticket price on SeatGeek reaches around $222,500 (Rs 1.8 crores).
