On the morning of March 18, the topic "To grab tickets for Jay Chou's Hangzhou concert, you need to top up 488 yuan VIP first" became a hot search on Weibo: Jay Chou's Hangzhou concert will be ticketed again on the "jayme" app from March 18th to March 19th. However, you need to recharge 488 yuan first to become a super VIP of the platform, and only with 1wj coins can you be qualified to grab tickets.
This move triggered a heated discussion on the Internet, but as of press time of the Red Star News reporter, Jay Chou has not yet responded to the matter.
jayme stated on its Weibo "jayme Jay Chou Fan Community" that jayme is "Jay Chou's official fan community exclusively authorized by Jay Chou's agency Jaywell Music". However, the Weibo showed that “the company’s qualifications have not passed annual review.”
wrote in the ticket grab strategy released by jayme, "Jayme really has tickets, 100% official channels", and circled his logo in the lower right corner of the poster for Jay Chou's concert in Hangzhou, indicating "Did you see it! Very official!" "
A Red Star News reporter logged into the "jayme" app and found that there are two levels of VIP. The ordinary VIP is 48 yuan a month, while the super VIP is purchased on an annual basis, which is 488 yuan a year.
It is reported that the specific way to grab tickets announced by Jayme is to become a super VIP. You will have two concert purchase qualification coupons a year, and two free exchanges for membership genuine peripheral gift pack benefits; with 10,000 J coins plus one concert purchase qualification coupon Grab tickets now. J coins can be obtained by signing in and drawing from the lottery pool.
Many netizens have discovered that recharging super VIP only qualifies them to grab tickets, but does not guarantee that they will be able to buy tickets. Its ticket grabbing strategy also states that if the ticket grabbing is unsuccessful, the rights and interests will not be consumed. However, the member center of the app reminds: "Once paid rights are activated, the return and return policy will no longer be supported."
In response, some netizens said, "Jay Chou looks ugly" and "To put it bluntly, it is a benefit for app members, and ordinary people do not have it" Qualified to participate." Some people also questioned, if you still can't get a ticket after recharging VIP, won't the money be wasted? Some netizens said that as a commercial company, Jayme's invoicing is for members' benefits and has little to do with Jay Chou.
In fact, many celebrities and performance organizations have launched exclusive apps before, and there are certain advantages in grabbing tickets through these channels. JJ Lin once launched the "Lin Distance" app, and domestic performance organization Modern Sky launched the "On the Spot" app. After recharging and becoming a member, you can enjoy priority ticket purchase rights.
In this regard, Yuan Yong, director lawyer of Beijing Baoying (Chengdu) Law Firm, believes that the relevant provisions of the "Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law" provide that consumers have the right to independently choose goods or services. Whether to recharge 488 yuan to purchase is the consumer's right. Although operators sell tickets to Jay Chou's concert, although it goes against the wishes and free choice of consumers, as a "rare" commodity, although it is unreasonable, there is no obvious legal loophole.
Lawyer Cai Chenyu from Shanghai Zhonghao Law Firm said in an interview with a reporter from Red Star News that to purchase tickets, you must first recharge your membership. The member center prompts: "Once paid rights are activated, the refund and return policy will no longer be supported." This article belongs to "Overlord Clause", as the provider of standard contract clauses, Jayme unreasonably increases consumers' responsibilities and restricts consumers' main rights. It clearly violates the principle of fairness and deprives consumers of their legitimate rights and interests.
