Jay Chou, this superstar in the Chinese music scene, has long become an indelible memory of youth for a generation!
His singing is like a rare footnote in life, witnessing the growth of those born in the 80s and 90s!
When his "Carnival" concert tour got wings and stopped in Hangzhou, it triggered an unprecedented craze!
Although I had known for a long time that Jay Chou’s concert would be hard to sell out, I never expected it to be so crazy!
At the Hangzhou concert, the "spiritually poor" reappeared. Fans who could not afford tickets watched from the outside of the venue. The number of people was as high as 100,000, and the local traffic was paralyzed for a time!
Although the organizers chose the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium with a capacity of 60,000 people as the venue, they still could not meet the needs of all fans.
The seats at the venue were all packed, and the crowds outside the venue were even bigger - tens of thousands of fans gathered around the Olympic Sports Center, looking at the idols in the infield.
On the main road, there is an endless stream of vehicles, making it difficult to move. The scene is comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush. On both sides of the road, fans' vehicles were densely parked, with various support slogans hanging on them, expressing their love for their idols.
The Hangzhou police did not expect such a scene. In order to ensure order at the scene, a large number of police officers were dispatched to maintain traffic diversion on the surrounding roads and open up passages for fans who were on their way to the "pilgrimage".
set up multiple security check channels at the entrance of the concert to check the fans entering the venue one by one to prevent criminals from getting in and ensure the smooth progress of the concert.
All these efforts are just to allow fans to meet their favorite idols as they wish. For them, this is a "pilgrimage" and a close contact with their idols. Even if they can only glance at the stage from a distance, they have no regrets.
Two female fans came from thousands of miles away to meet their idols. Unexpectedly, their fate was unpredictable. Their plane was delayed and they were stopped at the ticket gate.
's originally beautiful expectations came to an abrupt end. The two little sisters were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They lost control of their emotions and squatted on the ground crying.
This scene was photographed by other fans and went viral on the Internet, sparking heated discussions. Some people called it an exaggeration, while others expressed their understanding!
What happened to these two fans is not an isolated case. For ordinary fans, the price of a ticket is astronomical! The official in-field ticket of
starts at 1,600 yuan, which is a lot of money for ordinary office workers, and many salaried workers simply cannot afford it.
If fans want to get closer to the stage, the price will be higher. This is only the official price. In the hands of scalpers, the ticket price has been driven up to an astonishing level!
broke the news that a 1,280 yuan grandstand ticket was sold to 5,000 yuan in the hands of scalpers, while an infield ticket worth 2,000 yuan soared to a sky-high price of 8,500 yuan in the hands of scalpers!
What's more, there were rumors on the Internet that an infield ticket was sold for as much as 120,000 yuan! This is completely beyond the spending power of ordinary fans. The main reason for
’s sky-high price is naturally Jay Chou’s extremely high popularity. For countless people born in the 1990s, Jay Chou’s music is youth and a rare memory in life.
From "Blue and White Porcelain" to "Confession Balloon", every song has witnessed their growth process. Therefore, it has become a kind of faith to be able to go to the scene and witness the idol's style with your own eyes!
At the same time, the scalpers’ behavior of driving up the market is also a driving force that cannot be ignored. They use professional software to preemptively hoard a large number of tickets, and then take advantage of the opportunity to hoard and make huge profits.
Faced with this phenomenon, organizers and ticketing platforms have also tried to take various measures, such as real-name authentication, face recognition ticket verification, etc., but with little effect!
From another perspective, the sky-high price of concert tickets also reflects the unique charm of the live experience in the hearts of fans. Although there is a live video broadcast, it cannot bring the shocking experience of being in person.
For die-hard fans, even if it is a sky-high ticket price, they will not hesitate, because they are using money in exchange for an indelible memory.
Sane people will think that chasing stars is a bit irrational. No matter how much you like a star, he is just one of many artists after all.
Fans' fanatical pursuit of their idols is certainly worthy of admiration, but if they lose themselves and delay their lives for this reason, they will lose more than they gain.
Although I love my house and my wife, the beauty of life is by no means limited to the music of a star. We have so much more to pursue.
Whether it is die-hard fans or ordinary people, they should chase stars rationally and keep a clear head. After all, chasing stars can only be a spice to life, and should not be a reason to destroy life.
We must learn to exercise moderation, pursue reasonable consumption, and not be led by temporary emotions. After all, the meaning of life should not be trapped in an idol, but requires us to examine the whole world with a rational eye.
In life, one should have a sense of propriety in life, otherwise we will fall into misunderstandings in life. Of course we can appreciate Jay Chou's talent and worship his music, but we must not go bankrupt for a concert. The charm of
concerts is certainly charming, but after all, it is only a form of expression of music art and cannot fully summarize the entire connotation of music. The true value of music requires us to understand and appreciate it with a broad mind.
