Chaos
There is a seller on the "North Malaysia quota" Xianyu asking for 5,000 yuan
Since the registration for the 2024 Beijing Marathon started on October 2, the organizing committee has issued several reminders to beware of scams in the event quota. The Beijing News reporter searched for relevant keywords on major social media platforms, and most of the runners who did not win the lottery participated in sponsorship activities through official channels to strive for the opportunity to get sponsor places.
On the idle goods trading platform Xianyu, a number of sellers sell "North Malaysia quotas".
On October 18, the reporter searched for keywords such as "Beijing Marathon quota" and "North Malaysia quota" on the idle goods trading platform Xianyu, and a total of more than 100 pieces of commodity information appeared, excluding irrelevant commodities, there were 57 pieces of information on selling, purchasing, and transferring Beijing Marathon quotas, of which the information on sales quotas accounted for a large proportion.
The reporter randomly selected more than ten sellers to consult, and some sellers did not reply or set up automatic message reply. Among the remaining sellers, the price of selling the "North Malaysia quota" ranges from 2,666 yuan to 5,000 yuan.
During the reporter's consultation, some sellers will clearly reply that it is a sponsor quota, and some people will reply that it is a direct quota or an additional quota. When asked how to trade, two of the sellers raised the price on the grounds that the additional quota was more expensive, one from 3,599 yuan to 4,100 yuan, and the other from 3,999 yuan to 4,399 yuan. ”
One seller said that there are only a few "North Malaysia places" left.
The above-mentioned seller, who raised the price to 4,100 yuan, also asked the reporter to add his WeChat and fill in the registration form. He also forwarded a screenshot of the internal sales group, urging reporters: "The notice distributed at 9:58, the last few North Malaysia (places), may not be there later." When the reporter suggested that 4,100 yuan was a bit expensive, the seller said: "Last year, the price was five or six thousand, and I couldn't buy it, and we also added a quota." ”
The reporter searched and found that the Xianyu platform did have sellers who sold "North Malaysia quotas" for 5,000 yuan. When the reporter asked, the other party replied directly: (The quota) is gone.
One seller said that the "Northern Malaysia quota" was gone.
Among the many selling, purchasing, and transfer information, buyers who want to buy the "North Malaysia quota" bid from 200 yuan to 1,300 yuan. There are also some sellers who transfer the "North Malaysia Signature Amount", and one of the sellers has a price tag of 1,888 yuan.
In the process of communicating with him, the reporter pointed out that this transaction is risky, and the seller said: "I can provide a photo of my ID card and everything else (proof), but people can't go over." And there is no guarantee that you will receive the number bib and participate in the race, and it is emphasized that no refund can be made after the transaction is completed, "I have encountered untrustworthy people before." ”

For the act of privately transferring places, in addition to the repeated reminders issued by the organizing committee, there are also corresponding clear provisions in the 2024 Beijing Marathon competition regulations and registration instructions, and relevant personnel will face severe punishments.
According to the 2024 Beijing Marathon competition regulations and registration instructions, those involved in violations such as substitute running will face severe penalties.
If there is any behavior of registering with a false age or false identity or being substituted by others after registration, after the organizing committee officially determines the violation, depending on the severity of the circumstances, the violators will be given penalties such as canceling the 2024 competition results, banning for 1-5 years or banning for life, and if the circumstances are serious, additional penalties will be imposed by the Chinese Athletics Association. Among them, those who use illegal means to obtain (including but not limited to transferring, stealing, and reselling) the qualifications, use non-race number bibs to participate in the race, or have other violations, shall be responsible for all the consequences that occur in the race, and such violations will be punished with a lifetime ban from the Beijing Marathon after verification and confirmation by the organizing committee.
