Warner Records' Taiwan band TRASH recently announced a concert tour in Shanghai, Nanjing, Changzhou and Hong Kong, much to the delight of many fans and fans. But what is surprising is that the difference in ticket prices in several cities is huge, which has caused dissatisfaction among some music fans and fans.
It is reported that Hong Kong, as the first stop of this concert, tickets are divided into three levels: 680 yuan, 880 yuan, and 1080 yuan, while the tickets for Shanghai, Nanjing, and Changzhou are only 160 yuan and 200 yuan, and the difference in ticket prices is as much as 4 or 5 times. In this regard, many Hong Kong music fans are very angry, thinking that TRASH is suspected of treating them as fish and fools.
In order to defend their rights and interests and get fair ticket price treatment, these music fans specially left messages under the Instagram account of Warner Taiwan Branch to express their opinions. They said that even if the tickets cannot reach the same price as those in mainland cities, they should be significantly reduced, and this wave of concert benefits must not be favored over the other.
In addition, considering that the organizer of the Hong Kong concert is a local company, the ticket pricing may not be related to Warner and TRASH, and they also provided an alternative plan: change the partner and organizer of the Hong Kong concert, and then reduce the ticket price to a reasonable range.
Warner Taiwan quickly learned of their appeal and replied in the IG comment area as soon as possible. The reply pointed out that the scale of the venues in each city is different, the specifications and designs are different, and the ticket price is also the "most suitable ticket price" discussed with the local organizers, which is normal and cannot be modified, but TRASH will give 1,000% of the energy to perform and will never disappoint the expectations of Hong Kong music fans and fans.
As a loyal supporter of TRASH, I am afraid that in the face of such a rare opportunity to enjoy the performance, I am afraid that I will have to grit my teeth and pay for it.
Of course, this matter is not without a turning point. Because it has attracted the attention of some Hong Kong entertainment media, there have been a number of reports earlier, which means that if public opinion is strong enough in the future, the organizers and Warner Taiwan may still pay attention to their demands. There is reason to believe that the two sides can finally reach a solution that protects commercial interests while respecting the emotions of music fans.
