For Delhi fans who've spent years watching Ye perform in Tokyo, Seoul, or Amsterdam via grainy Instagram livestreams, the wait is over. Kanye West, now known as Ye, will perform in India for the first time with a one-night stadium concert. Tickets went on sale on Wednesday via the District app, and if you were stuck in an endless queue or held back by the price tag, there's a way to lock in your spot without paying in full right now. It's called 'Pay 50% and reserve'.
Wait, we’ll catch you up
Tickets went on sale on February 18 at 4 pm, exclusively through the District app. Prices start at ₹6,000, ₹7,500, and ₹9,500 for the Gold category, followed by ₹10,000, ₹12,500, and ₹14,500 for Gold Premium. Platinum tickets are priced at ₹20,000, the Super Fan Zone at ₹25,000, and the top-tier Lounge category at ₹30,000 (exclusive of taxes).
You can open the app, tap on the Book Tickets section, and once the sale begins, it will give you an overview of the concert venue layout, and you can select the section you need to book your tickets and proceed as instructed by the app.
So what’s this ‘pay and reserve’ business?
District is offering a split-payment option that lets you reserve your tickets by paying just half the total cost at checkout. The remaining 50% is due by 11.59pm on March 8 – giving you roughly three weeks to sort out the rest of the money. Instead of fronting the full amount in a panicked four-minute checkout window, you can secure your spot now and breathe a little.
When exactly is Ye performing in Delhi?
Sunday, March 29, at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi. It's a one-night-only show.
What time?
Gates open at 5pm. Given the scale of the event and the mandatory security checks, arriving early is strongly advised – bottlenecks are virtually guaranteed if you show up close to showtime. The show is supposed to start at 8pm. The estimated runtime is around two hours, though Ye has been known to extend shows by 30-40 minutes when crowd energy peaks. Plan accordingly. And maybe don't book that late-night dinner reservation.
About the venue: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
The stadium sits on Lodhi Road in central Delhi and is very well connected by metro. The closest metro stations are Jor Bagh and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on the Yellow Line. The metro is by far your best bet. For those coming from outside Delhi, hotels near Lodhi Road, Khan Market, and Connaught Place are your closest options and will fill up fast. Book accommodation early.
The 60,000-capacity JLN Stadium has become a key stop for international tours since its redevelopment ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. The venue is divided into four main zones: General Admission (standing), Floor (tiered standing), VIP Pit (barrier access), and VVIP Lounge (seated, private). In October 2025, Travis Scott headlined the same venue, drawing one of Delhi's largest rap audiences to date.
A word on context
The show also coincides with the rollout of his new album. Ye's comeback album Bully is scheduled for release on March 20, just nine days before the Delhi show.
It would be incomplete not to acknowledge Ye's complicated recent history. Multiple venues across Europe and Asia cancelled his shows in 2025 following controversy over antisemitic remarks and public statements. Earlier this year, Ye published a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal apologising for past antisemitic remarks, attributing some behaviour to untreated bipolar disorder and a prolonged manic episode, and stating he is committed to accountability and treatment going forward.
