Jacky Cheung has a song that has never been out of breath, called "She Came to Listen to My Concert". It's been 24 years, and there is a sentence in it that is still realistic: "The boy queued up all night for her, and bought a pair of tickets with half a year's savings." "It's just a concert, and the ticket for the average location is only a few hundred yuan, why spend half a year's savings? Because there are always "scalpers" staring behind the tickets, and there are "new scalpers" behind the "old scalpers", the ticket prices have soared all the way, far exceeding the initial price and the purchasing power of ordinary consumers.
According to the rule of law**, Ms. Chen from Zhanjiang, Guangdong, said that even if she asked dozens of friends to grab concert tickets for herself, everyone entered their identity information and ** interval in advance, but they still failed within a few seconds of ticket sales. The strange thing is that at the same time as the official website "seconds", some people claim to be "ticketing" at a premium of several thousand yuan to sell tickets, and some people start to sell tickets before the official sale.
Don't ask, there are all, you can accept the **". The so-called "ticketing" that Ms. Chen encountered was not an isolated case. They are not official ticketing platforms, but also claim that they are by no means "scalpers", they can sell tickets in advance, but also ignore the purchase quota restrictions, both claiming that the source of goods is from the official, and can choose seats in advance. With all these advantages, the popular concert tickets sold by them are often several times the original price. For example, the official price of Jay Chou's Hangzhou concert is 2,000 yuan for infield tickets, and the "ticketing" is sold for 6,599 yuan, the first 10 rows of seats in the middle of the infield are more than 10,000 yuan, and the price of the first row in the middle of the infield is more than 20,000 yuan. Although the official ticketing platform is limited to two tickets per person, in the "ticketing", not only is there no purchase restriction requirement, but also consecutive seats are guaranteed.
said that he was not a "scalper", but he was doing the work of a "scalper", but he was more powerful than the "scalper" in the impression of consumers, and the asking price was higher. What invitations, record information, ordinary tickets, and names are varied, all of which are weights to be sold at a higher price in your hands; In the past, those "scattered cattle" who used software to grab tickets were really dwarfed by these all-powerful new "scalpers". According to the provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, as long as it is a resale of theatrical performance tickets, regardless of whether it is the organizer or not, it should be punished with administrative penalties such as detention and fines, and if the circumstances are serious, it may also constitute the crime of illegal operation.
Ticketing "Tickets in the hands of ** from? Who gave the "new breed of scalpers" such a great ability to enjoy the privilege of breaking the rules of ticketing while swaggering around the market? To crack down on the new type of "scalpers," we need to start with such unbelievable problems one after another.
Last year, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued a circular regulating the management of large-scale for-profit performances, which specifically proposed that the number of tickets sold to the market by performance organizers should not be less than 85% of the approved audience. For the remaining 15% of the tickets, personal information should be bound 24 hours before the performance, so as to achieve "real-name binding and real-name admission". Has the "number of tickets for public sale" required by this rule been implemented for every popular show? Why can "ticketing" be easily skipped for the strong real-name requirement? Is the ticketing platform the biggest "scalper" as netizens say?
The "old cattle" are far from being caught, and the "new cattle" have blossomed everywhere. In the face of the first reports and public appeals, shouldn't the regulatory authorities intervene to thoroughly investigate how the regulations are implemented and where the "ticketing" are sacred. If you don't crack down on "scalpers" and make the public suspicious and dissatisfied, it will be the biggest blow to the performing arts market.
