Organizer Responds to Early Sale of Tickets for Jay Chou's Concert: Combatting Malicious Ticket Scalping

Recently, questions have arisen over the early sale of tickets for Jay Chou's concert. Information from the Big Ticketing platform indicates that the concert, scheduled for mid-May 2024, will commence ticket sales on December 9, 2023. The show requires identity verification upon entry (the registered attendee must match the actual attendee), and a 30% handling fee is imposed for ticket refunds within 48 hours of purchase. The extensive six-month presale period and refund restrictions have sparked discussions across various online platforms.

In response, on December 8, staff from the Big Ticketing platform stated that the presale timing and ticket alteration policies are determined by the event organizers. Subsequently, organizers informed reporters that the early presale aims to prevent malicious ticket scalping, ensuring that purchased tickets aren't hoarded and later refunded as the event approaches. The staff member emphasized that all decisions undergo proper approval processes and are the result of collaboration with relevant departments.

Regarding concerns raised by netizens about the unusually long presale period and potential uncertainties in personal schedules, the staff member mentioned, "Currently, there's no way to avoid this situation, considering the significant number of tickets involved, and individualized terms can't be crafted for each person."
