FTV News / Lin Yongqi and Guo Wenhai report from Taipei
In the post-epidemic era, many foreign artists have performed on stage, and there are also many famous domestic singers who are going to hold concerts, but this has also brought the problem of scalpers to the stage once more. A few days ago, the Korean girl group BLACKPINK performed on stage, and there was once a ticket price of 400,000 yuan. The outrageous ticket prices for scalpers have also prompted the public to propose a real-name system for art and cultural performance tickets. The Ministry of Culture stated that it will refer to the practices of Australia and Japan and amend the law to severely punish scalpers.
The Korean girl group BLACKPINK will come to Kaohsiung to sing next Saturday (March 18). However, a few days ago, there was a scalper ticket with a price of 400,000 yuan on the Internet, which made fans very angry.
Singer Jolin Tsai said: “Turn around and you will really meet Mr. Right.” Not only the Korean group, but also the queen Jolin Tsai’s concert recently, it was also rumored that scalpers used ticket grabbing robots to grab tickets and resell them for huge profits. Originally, one ticket was 4900 yuan. The sky-high bidding price reached 138,000 yuan, Zhang Huimei’s performance was 4,800 yuan, and it was also fired to 28,000 yuan. Tickets for Wei Li’an’s concert were doubled by 4 times, and someone even offered a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan for the Mayday concert.
People said: “That’s an exaggeration, because I think scalpers are unfair following all, and it’s not fair to those who work hard to arrange tickets.” “The original price of Jolin Tsai’s concert tickets may be regarding 3,4000 yuan. Diversity, if you really want to catch it, it will be very difficult.”
Ticket scalpers are rampant, so some people proposed a three-stage real-name system of “buy tickets, collect tickets, and enter” on the civic policy online participation platform. It is suggested that the name and ID number of the ticket holder should be printed on the ticket, and authenticated when picking up tickets and entering the venue In a short period of time, more than 10,000 people seconded the proposal, reaching the proposal threshold.
However, some operators admitted that the real-name system will lengthen the time for checking tickets and increase labor costs. If you fill in the wrong name, ID number, etc., it may lead to disputes such as refunds and lawsuits.
Yang Liping, Consumer Protection Officer of Beishi City, said: “There have been disputes where consumers have incorrectly filled in relevant information when purchasing tickets and requested corrections. In addition, if consumers have exceeded the refund period due to unexpected reasons and want to transfer them to other people for admission, they will also Some difficulties have arisen, so if the real-name system is implemented, there should be relevant supporting measures.”
The Ministry of Culture also stated that following referring to the legislative examples of Australia and Japan, it is discussing the revision of the Cultural and Creative Law to clearly define the reasonable cost of ticket resale. It will be sent to the Legislative Yuan for consideration as soon as possible.
