For Taiwanese fans, plus air tickets and accommodation, the cost will definitely exceed 10,000 yuan. After the news was exposed, many fans expressed their anger in the comments, “I have booked my flight tickets and hotels! Are you too casual?”, “Me too! The hotel can’t be refunded yet…” causing controversy. Some people even questioned that they spent thousands of dollars and didn’t even get a separate photo. They speculated that the ticket price was too high and no one bought it, so it was suddenly canceled.

Just afraid of emergencies!Experts reveal the secret of judgment: it’s obviously not selling well

In this regard, a fan who had already purchased a ticket revealed to the NOWnews reporter that many friends around him did say that the ticket price was too expensive, and the air ticket cost would be NT$12,000. “The people we know probably There are also 6 to 7 people who have bought tickets and are leaving.”

However, he also pointed out that when a friend bought it a few days ago, he found that the position was right in the middle of the 5th row and next to the aisle. Recalling that he might buy the 5th row when the event first went on sale, he speculated that the first 4 rows were there. Due to the locked account, “Obviously the sales were poor!” Therefore, the fan did not book a hotel first.

In addition, fans also said that with the same price/performance ratio, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona can be watched in Macau, next door to Hong Kong. After inquiries by the reporter of “NOWnews”, it was found that the day before the event, there was indeed a Macau event for Run’e’s fan meeting on February 3, and the price ranged from 699 to 1599 Hong Kong dollars (approximately 2782 to 6364 Taiwan dollars). Now that the cheerleading activities have been cancelled, he has given up the idea of ​​going to Hong Kong and decided to put his plans on hold.

In fact, the cheerleading event did not do well at the box office. In addition to the expensive ticket price and low CP value, it was also influenced by football star Messi. It also chose to hold a friendly match locally on February 4 in Hong Kong, which can accommodate 40,000 people. The stadium has already been sold out, which clearly shows that no matter how popular the Taiwanese cheerleading team is, they still cannot match the enthusiasm of Hong Kong people for the “national sport” football.
