Two days ago, a topic of "Wu Yifan fans outside the court" appeared on the hot search list.
Wu Yifan participated in an event in Guangzhou Baoneng Stadium that evening.
Hundreds of fans who did not enter the stadium held up lights, shouted slogans, and even sang songs outside the stadium. The scene of
was very shocking.
cheering for idols is very common, but they are usually on the court. Lilian has not seen such a large-scale off court support.
Traveling tens of kilometers, carrying so many support lights, and waiting for more than ten hours is just to shout slogans outside the venue?
took a closer look. This is not a spontaneous support from fans for idols at all, but more than 900 people collectively have fun in the hardship of the ticketing pit. The story of
is not complicated.
A big fan of Wu Yifan, organized other fans to buy tickets for Wu Yifan's concert on the 19th night. If fans of
want to sit together, the visual effect of cheering will be better. This is blameless.
logically speaking, it should be connected with the official ticketing service. But the official claimed that they had no tickets, so they chose a third-party ticketing system.
is actually a "scalper".
According to fans, they are also afraid of mistakes, so they signed a contract with the scalpers and paid a deposit first. The promise of
scalpers and the guarantee of that contract made fans feel relieved.
More than nine hundred fans rushed to Guangzhou from all over the country enthusiastically, ready to cheer, just to meet their idol side.
But the most unacceptable thing happened.
The scalper who accepted the group ticket tore up the contract on the spot and set up the price.
requires the fare to rise to three times the face price before it will be honored. The organizer of the
group ticket has been dealing with the scalpers, and finally compromised to be willing to increase the price of each ticket by 300, just to get the ticket to enter the venue.
assumes that there are 900 tickets, and each ticket increases by 300, which is 270,000.
Despite this, the scalpers still did not let go.
In the end, Wu Yifan's fans did not choose to compromise and gave the scalper money for nothing, but chose to organize the opening match for Wu Yifan off the court.
Under the condition of signing the contract, the act of scalpers sitting on the ground and raising the price has constituted a crime.
After the concert, Kris Wu’s fans called the police.
Now the scalpers have returned the deposit and the fans have also received the refund.
But the round-trip travel expenses and hotel accommodation expenses are also a considerable loss.
Wu Yifan's fans are really not easy.
After this happened, many people still laughed at them for being stupid-they even chose to believe in scalpers.
In fact, fans are very passive in buying tickets. The number of tickets released by the organizer of
is far from enough to satisfy fans.
Those who cannot buy tickets can only go to the scalpers.
scalpers usually increase the price and require payment for reservations and direct WeChat transfers. Consumers’ interests are not protected. Fans of
just wanted to chase a star, and they paid the money, but they deserved to be scolded and scolded.
In fact, everyone knows that the reason why scalpers are so rampant is not their fans.

Now "scalpers" have been deeply rooted in the ticketing market.
Whether it is a concert, a ball game, a drama, or even a cross talk performance, there are scalpers.

Sometimes high-priced tickets are no longer enough to describe the greed of the scalpers, and “sky-priced tickets” are more appropriate.
The main creative team of the popular web drama "Chen Qing Ling" will hold a concert in Nanjing some time ago.
Since the drama hit, the two leading actors have also skyrocketed in popularity. Some scalpers of

Now a large number of traffic idols have appeared, and the contradiction between fans and scalpers has been intensified and exposed to the public.
But it’s not just these newcomers. The concert tickets of veteran singers like Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Mayday, etc. have also been held by the scalpers.
Obviously every ticket is issued in seconds, but the scalper always has enough tickets, and it is still a good position that cannot be bought on the ticketing website. The meaning of

Many people think that finding fans who are slaughtered by scalpers is not worthy of sympathy.
They can choose not to go to the show or buy scalper tickets, but they still go. It is these fans who have raised the scalper's appetite. From this level,

As long as no one buys a scalper ticket, the scalper loses money, not to mention closing it, at least it will converge.

The organizers set strict conditions for buying tickets: one person, one ticket, and the ticket is collected by ID card. Fans of
responded to the call of idols, preferring the seats to be vacant rather than buying expensive tickets. The
effect must be there.
Last year, JJ Lin's concert almost broke a scalper. The

The rest can only buy scalper tickets.
A very simple market principle: when the supply exceeds demand, it will be the seller's market. Whether they want to sell 10,000 or 100,000, there are tens of thousands of fans, and there will always be people who are willing to spend a lot of money.
Many people want to ask where did the scalper's ticket come from?

This is why the stadium can accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 people, but Damai.com only invoiced 3,000 to 4,000, and the seats on the shelves in the future may be better than before.
Are scalpers hateful?

So sometimes you see the ticket is empty, it does not mean that the ticket has been sold out, but it is telling you that the cheap ticket is gone, hurry up and buy the expensive one.
