PURE FORM OF EYEWASH.
If you have money only then you are not going to get the tickets for the upper levels’
You have to have influence with the people who are at the helm from where tickets are issued.
Myself as a responsible citizen tried 3 times to get the ticket from stars ticketing counter but to no avail within 5 to 10 minutes all tickets are sold out how only God & the person who is at the helm of the ticket issuing server knows better .
This shows the popularity of the barren island sailing & the frequent amount of sailing required for all.
But for now you people need to investigate from RTI survelliance cameras installed at jetty counter area that from Which server tickets are issued & by whom for now the trip should be renamed as babu special.
