The circus performance was about to begin, and tickets were being sold for entry. A standard adult ticket cost 5 rupi, a child’s ticket cost 2 rupi, and a VIP ticket cost 10 rupi.
Karon bought seven VIP tickets, spending 70 rupi, as the VIP tickets did not offer a child discount.
The different colored tickets corresponded to the different sections. Upon entering, staff members would check the ticket and guide people to the correct section. The VIP section was at the very center of the front, closest to the stage.

With the VIP seating being at the very front, and closest to the speakers, they received a direct sonic attack.
Karon took a slow breath and glanced at Eunice and the kids. They were covering their ears, but still laughing.

A slightly heavyset female singer in a tight blue costume walked to center stage, a microphone in hand. As the accompaniment started, she launched into an emotional performance of Roja Lover.
