A 6-liter bucket of purified water sells for 8-10 yuan in supermarkets. If you use a 500ml cup, you can hold a full 12 cups.
And these 12 cups can be sold for 240 yuan by some people, and some people actually say that this price is normal?
Recently, some netizens complained that at the "Hefei Electric Music Festival" held by Internet celebrity Xiao Yang and a media company, pure water was sold for 20 yuan a cup, pulsating 30 yuan a bottle, and Red Bull 28 yuan a bottle, causing controversy.
First of all, I want to say that the tickets for this electronic music festival are not cheap, according to the published ticket prices, even the earliest early bird tickets cost 680 yuan.
If you buy regular-priced tickets and on-site tickets, the highest on-site ticket can reach 1580 yuan.
And it is such an expensive electronic music festival, many music fans originally thought that they were here to enjoy the music, until they saw the price in the electronic music festival park, and found that they were here to be a lamb to the slaughter.
In fact, anyone who has participated in music festivals and electronic music festivals knows that when entering the park, it is not allowed to bring water, and you need to go to the performance park to buy it.
Although the water of many electronic music festivals and music festivals will be a little more expensive, it is still relatively rare to sell it for 20 yuan a cup.
Of course, the price is not only 20 yuan for a cup of pure water, but also 45 yuan for a piece of fried noodles and fried noodles. Compared with normal fried noodles, the price is about four or five times more expensive.
Although the cost of running a music festival such as the electronic music festival is very high, the ticket can only recover part of the cost, and other snacks and mineral water are also a source of profit.
But in any case, the price is ridiculously high.
However, in response to the doubts of netizens, Brother Xiao Yang also expressed his grievances.
It is said that in a specific environment, it is normal for the price to be relatively high, such as the water in the bar is more than ten yuan a glass.
A cup of pure water, sold for 20 yuan, we understand it as a 2 yuan bottle of pure water configuration, the price is also 10 times, is this reasonable?
If it is said that it is like Mount Emei, which requires manual labor and pack horses to carry up the mountain, I can understand that the price is a little more expensive. But even the mineral water of Mount Emei has never been sold for 20 yuan a bottle.
And, I would say, it's a complete change of concept.
At the bar, customers also have the right to choose whether to drink or not. But in the music festival, how to choose? You can't go out in the park, you need to buy a new ticket when you go out, and the music fans who call the festival can only buy in the park, which has completely formed a monopoly.
However, the official response left people speechless.
It means that after a preliminary judgment, the pricing is in line with the requirements.
Here I can't help but ask, can you really do whatever you want with "clear pricing"?
Then why was a cabbage in Shanghai sold for 70 yuan and could be fined 500,000 yuan, is it not the same as the price is clearly marked?
Look at what netizens say, Luoyang paper was expensive in ancient times, and now there is water in a certain place.
Some netizens ridiculed, family, I helped you lower the price of pure water for 120 yuan a bottle, and now it is only 20 yuan a bottle.
If you think about it, why do people say that pure water is very expensive, but not other pulsating and fried noodles are expensive? Because the actual price of water has exceeded its original value by 10 times.
This is patently unreasonable.
In fact, I don't know when it started, more and more unscrupulous merchants use clear prices to explain unreasonable prices.
For example, as many netizens said, some concerts have mineral water for 30 bottles and 50 bottles.
It's time to put an end to the so-called "clear pricing".
