Concert tickets are out of stock as soon as they go on sale.
"Ticketing" guarantees that 100% of tickets can be issued.
Ms. Wang recently helped a friend to get concert tickets. Not only did she fill in her personal identity information in advance and select the ticket purchase time, I also specially set the alarm clock and found a place with the best network signal, but unfortunately, the tickets were still not available. In the end, my friend had to pay a high price to buy them from an online "ticket".
reporters checked on regular ticketing websites and found that some well-known singers’ concert tickets, as long as they are on sale, are currently out of stock. However, on social platforms, has many accounts under the banner of "ticketing", saying that they have long-term and stable cooperative relationships with organizers and ticketing websites. Not only can they buy tickets in advance, but they can even choose the location of the event.
Reporter: Can I buy tickets for Jay Chou's concert?
Ticketing: If you want to buy it, determine how much the ticket is, give me the personnel information, and I will enter the information for you. Then you can enter directly by swiping your identity information.
Reporter: You can definitely buy it, right?
Ticketing: What I can give you for sure is 100%.
In fact, these so-called "tickets" are not the officially designated sales platform for the concert, but a "cooperative relationship", which can also be understood as scalpers with a different identity.
Ms. Lin previously worked in the performance industry. She told reporters that some tickets were leaked by sales agents. "An artist is going to hold a concert in China. My friend said he would give me a ticket. I asked him how to get in through mandatory real-name verification. Doesn't it require face recognition? He said no, and gave him his ID number, mobile phone number, and name. You can make an electronic code and give it to me. If some scalpers have channels, they can make this kind of electronic ticket now."

Ms. Lin said that another channel for is reselling. Scalpers use their internal relationships to get tickets with increased prices, and then resell them at a high price. "In fact, he will reserve some tickets that he will not sell, and then sell them at a high price. For example, a ticket with an original price of 600 yuan, a scalper can buy it for 1,000 yuan, and then resell it for 2,000 yuan or even 2,500 yuan."
In addition to high prices When buying tickets from scalpers, many people choose to find someone to grab them on their behalf on online platforms. Ms. Lin introduced, "For example, if I want to go to a concert and I want a good seat, I will go to a proxy agent. agent refresher is not a manual agent. They have a software that can automatically refresh tickets. does not count. The face value of the ticket, for example, the original price of the ticket is 1,900 yuan, and it costs 2,000 yuan to help you rob it, so you need to give him 3,900 yuan."
Ms. Lin reminded that the risk of robbing on behalf of others is very high, and many people have fallen into trouble. A lawyer said, "The other party will not give you a ticket at all. The person who collects the money may say that there is no ticket, and the financial department will contact you later for a refund. But there is no so-called financial and ticketing company at all. They are all fraud gangs. The other party will Once you are blocked, the money will basically not be recovered."
Since the amount of fraud in this case does not meet the filing standards for fraud crimes, and the cost of rights protection is high, even if they are deceived, some people will not choose to let it go. The lawyer said, "The ticket price is about 1,000 to 2,000 yuan. The standard for filing a criminal case for being defrauded is generally above 3,000 yuan. The scammer just knows that the amount of fraud is below this standard."

Expert: Market regulatory authorities should strengthen network supervision
In September 2023, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "On Further Strengthening the Standardized Management of Large-scale Commercial Performance Activities to Promote the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Performance Market" "Notice", the notice clearly stated: To further increase the proportion of ticket sales for large-scale performance events, the number of tickets sold to the market by performance organizers shall not be less than 85% of the approved number of audiences. For the remaining 15% of tickets, personal information should be bound 24 hours before the performance to achieve "real-name binding and real-name admission."
But in reality, leaked internal tickets and "scalper tickets" that rely on various technical software to survive have occupied a lot of ticket sources.According to Wu Zhenhua, deputy director of the Development Department of the China Private Science and Technology Entrepreneurs Association, while does a good job in ticket traceability management, it also requires market supervision departments to strengthen network supervision.
Wu Zhenhua said that the tickets sold by so-called "ticketing" are often transactions for individuals, which carries great risks. For example, the risk of being defrauded, or due to irregular channels, there will be big problems in all aspects of rights protection. If there are irregular or evasive transfers, be careful not to buy such tickets.
