This would literally be my first concert ever, and it's only because The Chainsmokers are coming. I've been listening to them and fangirling over them for years, so getting to see them live feels like a dream.

The only issue is that I have pretty strict timing restrictions at home and would need to be back by around 10:30 PM. Even if I only get to catch an hour of their set, I think I'd still be satisfied.

I'm confused about whether I should get a GA ticket or spend extra on Fanpit, and whether I should buy now or wait.

For anyone who's attended Sunburn before, was GA worth it? How was the overall experience? Any advice for a first-timer would be really appreciated.

I enrolled in IGNOU in December 2022 under the July 2022 cycle. At that time, I had very little idea about how IGNOU functioned. Ironically, it was also around the examination period, which unintentionally delayed my degree by almost six months.

After taking admission, I started reading more about IGNOU and came across all kinds of student experiences online. Some were positive, while many were filled with complaints and confusion. I read stories about students not receiving assignment marks even after completing their degree, delays in marksheets, and endless visits to study centres and regional centres. Naturally, all of this created a constant fear in my mind — “What if I become one of those students?”

To stay updated and avoid mistakes, I joined Telegram groups, followed YouTube channels related to IGNOU, and regularly interacted with fellow students who guided each other through the process. Those communities honestly helped a lot.

However, every time I submitted assignments or appeared for exams, there was always anxiety in the back of my mind. I have ended up skipping multiple exams across different TEE sessions. Eventually, by last year, I realized that continuously postponing exams would only delay my degree further.

So, in the December 2025 TEE, I finally decided to appear for all my remaining exams (9 SUBJECTS IN TOTAL). Thankfully, I cleared all of them.

Once my final grade card was updated, I received both my provisional certificate and marksheet within just two weeks. Touchwood, my journey with IGNOU turned out much smoother than I had feared. I did not have to run from one office to another or struggle endlessly for updates regarding my results or documents.

Still, one particular incident stayed with me throughout my course. In March 2024, when I had gone to submit my assignments, I saw a woman who had come with her husband. She was extremely frustrated because her course marks had still not been updated despite multiple attempts at clearing the exams. She had already visited the regional centre several times and kept going back and forth between the study centre and regional centre. That moment genuinely made me realize why so many students feel anxious about the IGNOU system. I truly hope her issue got resolved eventually.

And yes, that was my IGNOU story. A journey filled with confusion, anxiety, delays, and overthinking, but thankfully, it ended on a good note.
