The event is big and in my opinion as good as a Jai Ho concert or perhaps
better given the uniqueness of it. Not everyday does one have the opportunity
to hear the LPH play Rahman. It's a first and will definitely be an evening I
will cherish. Just thought it would have been great if there was more
transparency with such events. I encouraged friends (from non-south asian
backgrounds who may not have necessarily been keen on the event otherwise) to
purchase these tickets in the hope of seeing him perform that evening as the
Southbank Centre website did not state clearly that he would not be conducting.
Unfortunately I don't have the text from February but it may have vaguely
implied that he was in some form going to perform "AR and the LPH". I could be
wrong though. But the text on the website right now clearly stating the
conductor etc was not on there when I bought tickets for friends and family.
Just thought more clarity on huge events such as this
would be useful from a reliable source such as Rahman's website. I am glad
that Jai Ho concert tickets are being made available on there and I understand
that all of this is part of a development process to have the website doing all
the things you want it to do. This is just feedback for future events such as
the one at hand.
Thanks for replying, Vijay.

I bought tickets for this event on the 19th of February (same day as it
was opened to the public as I wanted to get good seats) in the hope that I
would see AR perform with LPH. But only found out yesterday that I was wrong
and that he'd be part of the audience instead.
My humble request is that more information about events such as these should
probably be advertised/announce d officially on Rahman's website a bit earlier,
given that the event tickets were open about a month ago. More transparency on
such events would certainly be useful, I feel. Not sure if anyone who's part of
the website development team is inthis group but just wanted to put my thoughts
across on this one. It would not have changed my decision on buying the ticket
but I wouldn't have got as excited as I did in the hope that AR would conduct
the LPH or even play an
instrument. But nevertheless, I look forward to this one. I doubt they would
let us record anything inside the theatre unfortunately.
