What you buy isn't what you get?
On Saturday I purchased 17 tickets for a "charity" concert held at Aram Khachaturian Hall. We had a number of guests from the US and they were quite excited about experiencing some Armenian "pop". So after spending more than $15 per ticket, our large group was ready to go hear the likes of Andre (from Kharabagh), Sirusho, and many other famous Armenian voices.
Within five minutes I understood that we had been completely lied to. The organizer of the evening had mislead us into believing the lineup of the evening. Had I even take one minute to do research I would have seen that the famous voices were tied up in other concerts... In any case, we did some some rabizish performers with very good voices. If only they can improve their styles!!
I bet very few of you knew that an Armenian boy band actually exists. I saw it with my very own eyes and had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. For those of you Bostonians the term guido comes to mind. We also saw two different dance groups "busting out" in hip hop moves. I should be happy that our Armenians are branching out... shouldn't I?
So today I tried to contact the organizer to demand my money back. He has conveniently turned off his phone and is smart for doing so. Leaving the opera house I heard the majority of the audience saying they wanted their money back. I will track him down!

Only Armenians can pull off hustling like that. I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head from some of our acts. I don't know when and if Armenians will change and stop ripping off their own.
radio van is having a great concert on the 8th i think ...its going to be fully live music and all the big names will be there..but i think tickets are sold out
Arina this happens quite often. It's nothing new. And I feel sorry for the artists 'cause this does give them a bad rep.
