Kaavish Concert Ticket Prices in Lahore
Tickets are split into three main categories, and each category is divided into enclosures (EN). Your enclosure decides which section you sit in, and seats inside each enclosure are first come, first served. Here is the full price list from the official Ticketwala listing:
| Category | Enclosure | Price | Status (3 November) |
|---|---|---|---|

Availability changes quickly, especially in the final week. Always check the live status on the official Kaavish Lahore ticket page before you plan your evening.
Which Ticket Should You Buy?
- Platinum (Rs 18,000): The closest seats to the stage. Best if you want to see Jaffer Zaidi at the piano and Maaz Maudood’s guitar work up close.
- Gold (Rs 12,000): A good balance of view and price. You still get a clear look at the stage and strong sound.
- Silver (Rs 6,000): The most affordable way in. Kaavish’s music is about the voice and melody, so the experience still holds up well from further back, especially if you arrive early and pick a central seat.
Wheelchair Accessible Seating
A dedicated wheelchair and companion section is available in Gold EN 2. This category cannot be booked directly online. Wheelchair users and their companions need to contact the organiser through Ticketwala to reserve these seats. It is a thoughtful step, and we hope more Pakistani concerts follow it.
How to Book Kaavish Tickets on Ticketwala
- Open the Kaavish (Live in Concert, Lahore Expo Outdoor) page on Ticketwala.
- Pick your category (Platinum, Gold or Silver) and an enclosure that is still available.
- Choose the number of tickets and proceed to checkout.
- Pay online and keep your e-ticket ready on your phone for scanning at the gate.
Tickets are non refundable, so double check your date and enclosure before paying. Buy only from the official listing. Resold tickets on social media are a common scam before big concerts, and you have no protection if a ticket turns out to be fake or already scanned.
Venue Guide: Expo Center Lahore, Gate 4
The concert is at the Expo Center Lahore on Abdul Haq Road in Johar Town, one of the city’s main venues for large events. This show is in the outdoor seated area, accessed from Gate 4, so make sure your driver or ride app takes you to the right gate. The Expo Center is a large complex and the wrong gate can mean a long walk.
Getting There
- From Gulberg and Model Town: Take Ferozepur Road or Canal Road towards Johar Town, then follow signs for the Expo Center.
- From DHA: Use Ring Road or Canal Road towards Johar Town. Allow extra time on a Friday evening.
- Ride hailing: Careem, Yango and inDrive all reach the Expo Center. Set your drop point to Gate 4 and expect surge pricing after the show.
- Parking: Arrive close to 6:00 pm if you are driving. Parking fills up early for big concerts.
Timings You Must Follow
Gates open at 6:00 pm and close at 7:45 pm. The show starts at 8:00 pm. The gate closing time matters: late arrivals risk missing entry, so plan to reach by 7:00 pm at the latest.

Who Is Kaavish?
Kaavish was formed in Karachi in 1998 by Jaffer Zaidi (vocals, piano and composition) and Maaz Maudood (guitar). Jaffer is the son of the legendary singer Nayyara Noor, and you can hear that classical grounding in the way he phrases every line. The band’s sound blends Eastern classical and ghazal influences with soft rock and acoustic arrangements, which is why their songs feel calm, personal and timeless at the same time.
Kaavish built a devoted following in the 2000s with songs like Nindiya Re and Bachpan, then reached a much wider audience on Coke Studio with Faasle, sung with Quratulain Balouch. For years the band rarely played live, which only made fans more eager. In 2024 they returned to the stage, and their comeback show in Lahore was widely reported as their first there in around 14 years. You can read more about the band’s history on Wikipedia.
The Comeback Run
Since returning, Kaavish has played sold out shows across Pakistan, in Dhaka, and in the UK, including a sold out debut at London’s Barbican Centre, as Geo News reported. The live band has included Louis “Gumby” Pinto on drums, Danish Khawaja on guitar and Waleed Shahzada on bass alongside Jaffer and Maaz. Rafi Peer Global Entertainment, the team behind this Lahore show, has been part of that journey, and its director Alena Peerzada has described the band’s music as pure and timeless.
For a deeper look at the band’s earlier Lahore shows and songs, see our Kaavish concert guide.
Kaavish Songs to Expect: Possible Setlist
The official setlist has not been announced, but based on the band’s recent shows, these fan favourites are very likely:
- Nindiya Re: The song most fans know Kaavish for. Expect the whole crowd to sing along.
- Bachpan: A nostalgic track about childhood that hits even harder live.
- Tere Pyar Mein: One of their most loved romantic songs.
- Faasle: The Coke Studio favourite that introduced Kaavish to a new generation.
- Moray Saiyaan: A classical influenced number that shows off Jaffer’s vocal range.
- Tairay Naam: A more recent single released with an official music video.
- Intezaar: Their latest single, written by Jaffer, about longing and the hope of reunion.
Recent Kaavish concerts have run close to two hours, so expect a full evening of music rather than a short set.
Tips for the Kaavish Concert at Expo Center Lahore
- Dress for the evening chill. It is an open air venue and early November nights in Lahore get cool after sunset. Carry a light jacket or shawl.
- Check the smog forecast. November is smog season in Lahore. Keep a mask handy for the drive and the queue, and check the air quality on the day.
- Arrive early for better seats. Since seating is first come, first served, people who arrive close to 6:00 pm get the best spots in each enclosure.
- Eat before you go. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, so have dinner beforehand.
- Charge your phone. You need it for your e-ticket, and you will want to record at least one chorus of Nindiya Re.
- Plan your ride home. Thousands of people leave at once. Agree on a pickup point with your group or wait 15 to 20 minutes for traffic to ease.
- Bring your ID. It is always useful at security checks for large events.
