"Tickets for Jay Chou's Hangzhou concert are available again, but you must first recharge 488 yuan to be eligible to grab tickets." On the afternoon of March 18, as soon as the news came out, It immediately became a hot search topic.
From April 18th to 21st, four consecutive concerts were held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center. The popularity of Jay Chou's Hangzhou concert was confirmed as early as February 2, the day when the official pre-sale was launched, because the tickets were sold out instantly.
As for this "ticketing", the so-called ticketing platform is actually an app software called "jayme". The application introduction shows that "jayme" is Jay Chou's official fan community app, which is operated by Jay Chou's agency Jaywell Music. Created with exclusive genuine authorization.”
Reporters learned from the concert organizer Hangzhou Xingshuo Performing Arts Company that ’s move is an official Jay Chou fan group activity and is not part of the organizer’s official channel for sale. In early April, the official will open a second pre-sale channel. As of press time, Jay Chou has yet to respond to this matter.
To grab tickets, you must first become a "Super VIP"
The official ticketing platform has stopped the first round of pre-sale, so where do the tickets come from? The source of the hot search for
comes from a ticket grabbing information released recently on the "jayme" app. shows that tickets for the two games on April 18 and 19 will be available for grabs on March 18th, and tickets for the two games on April 18th and 19th will be available for grabs on March 19th. Tickets for two shows on April 20th and 21st.
For fans who didn’t get tickets, the re-issuance of tickets is a timely blessing. However, the "Ticket Purchase Instructions" clearly states that if you want to participate in grabbing tickets, you must first become a "Super VIP" of the "jayme" app.
What is "super vip"? A reporter from
logged into the "jayme" app and found that there are two tiers of vip. The ordinary VIP is 48 yuan a month, while the super VIP is only purchased for an annual fee, which is 488 yuan a year.
According to the information displayed on the app, "super vips" have two concert purchase rights coupons a year, two free exchanges for genuine member peripheral gift packs, and app membership rights and other benefits. If the ticket grab is unsuccessful, the rights will not be consumed. However, there is a reminder in the member center of this app: "Once paid rights are activated, the return and return policy will no longer be supported."
In other words, if recharges the annual fee but fails to grab a ticket in the end, the annual fee will not be refunded.
After the ticket grabbing information was sent out, in the comment area of the app, some netizens questioned the official fan community’s move as using a small amount of tickets to attract new users to recharge; However, some netizens expressed support and believed that if they paid the annual fee, they could grab tickets. The tickets that are multiplied several times in the hands of scalpers are a good deal.
A reporter found on a second-hand trading platform that the highest price premium for tickets to Jay Chou's Hangzhou concert in was 2,000 yuan, with a maximum premium of 10,000 yuan.
This ticket issuance is not a public sales channel
According to the announcement on the ticketing website of the organizer Hangzhou Xingshuo Performing Arts Company, except for the official ticketing platforms of Damai, Maoyan, and Piao Planet, the company has not authorized any other platform or company to sell this concert as an agent tickets.
So what’s going on with “jayme’s” vote,
?
"This is actually a private sales channel. The fan membership annual fee system has been implemented as early as 2017. Members can enjoy many benefits such as fan activities, peripherals, etc., and the qualification to purchase tickets for the concert is only one of them." The relevant person in charge of "jayme" told reporters that has the qualifications to operate performance ticketing. This event is only for paying members and fans, and there are only a small number of fan tickets.
Reporters found through Tianyancha that the operator of the app is "Fujian Tianyin Culture Media Co., Ltd." and the administrative licensing project does include performance agency, performance ticketing and other content.
According to industry insiders, fan group ticket buying, as the name suggests, is the collective behavior of fans buying tickets, and it is a well-established "rule" in the industry. Under normal circumstances, the organizer will reserve a part of the tickets for the official fan group after verifying the identity of the official fan group. The principle is that there will be no price increase and the original price will be given to the fans. Fans of the fan club must also register their real-name information in accordance with the real-name system regulations, and tickets are not allowed to be given away or resold.
According to the "Notice of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security on Further Strengthening the Standardized Management of Large-scale Commercial Performance Activities to Promote the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Performance Market" issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security on September 13, 2023, "Performances held The number of tickets sold publicly by a unit shall not be less than 85% of the approved audience; the remaining 15% of tickets must be bound to personal information 24 hours before the performance to achieve 'real-name binding and real-name admission.'"
This provision actually blocks the space for scalpers to scalp votes. In other words, the concert organizer needs to account for 85% of the tickets sold through official channels; the 15% of tickets allocated independently also require real-name authentication.
"15% of the tickets are independently allocated, including those purchased by sponsors, partners, fan groups, etc." The relevant person in charge of Hangzhou Xingshuo Performing Arts Company told reporters that the small number of fan group purchases this time came from this "15%" The organizer allocates ticket sources independently.
However, the organizer also reminded that fans who did not get tickets do not need to worry, as there will be a second official pre-sale channel opened in early April.
