YouTuber Aslı Tümer, who attended the concert, announced that Tarkan had a special platform built so that disabled individuals could watch the concert comfortably and specifically requested that no ticket fees be charged for this area.
Aslı Tümer, who went to the Tarkan concert, described her experience in a post on her Instagram account. Drawing attention to the difficulties she faced in previous concert experiences despite paying for tickets, Tümer expressed the difference at the Tarkan concert with the following words:
"I have been to dozens of concerts before, and this is the third time I have had the chance to watch Tarkan. But I have never been to a concert this comfortably by taking advantage of a disabled quota, for free, and on a platform specifically raised for us. Because (at other concerts) there was no such thing. I was always buying tickets with my own money and watching from the worst places where there wasn't even ticket sales, places where they made sure I wasn't underfoot."
"This was our Megastar's special request"
Emphasizing that the practice was not a standard procedure of the venue management but a direct request from the artist, Tümer stated that Tarkan provided hundreds of disabled individuals with their first concert experience.
In her post, Tümer said, "For the first time, I had a concert experience where I felt special. Not just me, but hundreds of disabled individuals went to their first concert thanks to Tarkan. And this was our Mega Star's special request. That is exactly why I would even walk around Taksim Square with a Tarkan bandana tied around my head."
