In the blink of an eye, it was the day of ticket sales.
The three concerts of the Japanese and Korean celebrities had all adopted online ticket sales. It was the same for Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's crosstalk tour. The traditional method of selling tickets had long since been replaced. Nowadays, the success of a concert in this era would generally be reflected by four pieces of information:
1. Is the venue big?
Two: Are the tickets sold out?
Three: How long will it take for the tickets to be sold out?
Four: Word of mouth and reaction after the performance.
The promotions for the concerts of several Japanese and Korean celebrities had already started and were in full swing.
On Weibo:
"Are they on sale?"
"I've checked the ticketing website countless times!"
"They should be on sale soon!"
"It won't be easy to buy their tickets. Let's see our luck!"
"The publicity is overwhelming."
"Yeah, the domestic market is very important to them, so of course they will spare no effort."
"Heh, why didn't Zhang Ye do any promotions?"
"I'm also wondering. Didn't Teacher Zhang want to stir up trouble? Why is it so quiet? "
"Pfft, are you kidding me? Those Japanese and Korean celebrities wanted to promote themselves because a lot of people in the country did not know them. Of course, they wanted to make it as big as possible. But for Zhang Ye? Tell me, who in the country doesn't know him? It's enough for him to hang up the signboard of his crosstalk tour. "
"That's true, but I'm not too optimistic about the crosstalk tour. Performing three shows in three consecutive days over the past five to six days in three different cities, that's really putting their lives on the line and it's too tiring. Besides, there hasn't been a large-scale crosstalk tour held by anyone in the last decade. Crosstalk has declined to the point where they can't even sell tickets to a small theater that can seat a few dozen people. Tickets that cost 10 to 20 yuan each can't even be sold out at times. Most crosstalk actors rely on their appearances on the Spring Festival Gala to maintain their popularity, so they've long since stopped doing theater shows. What's more, a crosstalk tour on such a huge stage like the Beijing Exhibition Center has never been held before. Even if Zhang Ye and Yao Jiancai's crosstalk is well-known, it's still hard to say."
"Zhang Ye's name is enough!"
"Right, Zhang Ye and Old Yao's crosstalk must be watched!"
"I'm still looking forward to Park Jaesang."
"I'm waiting to buy a Kimura ticket!"
"Let's wait and see whose tickets are selling better."
…
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
Everyone was bustling with activity.
Wu Yi was already on his way to the venue in Shanghai.
Tong Fu brought his men and headed straight to Shenzhen to contact the venue and ticketing department.
Ha Qiqi was in charge of the Beijing Beijing Exhibition Center and had been running back and forth.
…
At home.
Zhang Ye, on the other hand, was very free.
Mom asked, "Are you really going to fight them?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yeah."
His father said, "How do we fight it?"
Zhang Ye smiled. "Just wait and see. In my territory, I won't be able to torment them to death!"
He also made a call to Old Wu's secretary.
Zhang Ye: "Hello, Secretary Bai, has the ticket sales been approved yet?"
Secretary Bai replied, "Maybe they're going through the procedures?"
"Help me ask around. Their work efficiency is too low."
Secretary Bai: "Alright, I'll get back to you immediately."
After a while, the call came back.
Secretary Bai said, "Mr. Zhang, it's done."
Zhang Ye said, "Alright, thanks."
Those Japanese and Korean celebrities had been planning and preparing for their upcoming concert in China half a year in advance. The approvals were also done very early and they were well prepared. Meanwhile, Zhang Ye's crosstalk tour was decided on a whim by this fellow without any preparation. However, Zhang Ye had the home field advantage. Be it the venue or the approvals, all he needed to do was to make a few phone calls and get everything green-lit.
All the paperwork was done.
Now, it was just a matter of setting the ticket prices.
Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes and started thinking.
How much should he set?
How many slots should he set?
…
Kimura Kazuya's team.
In order to prepare for the concert, they had already arrived in China.
"How do we set the ticket prices?"
"How much does it usually cost here in China?"
"It depends on our popularity. At our level, most of the tickets are priced at 600 or 1,200 RMB per slot. The premium VIP seats are priced at around 3,000 RMB."
"Isn't that too low?"
"Yeah, I think it should be doubled."
"If it's too high, I'm afraid it'll take too long to sell."
"But we still have to make money. If it's too low, we won't be able to earn much."
"Right, and if the ticket prices are too low, it'll make it seem like it's not classy enough."
…
Park Jaesang's team.
"No, the ticket prices can't be that low!"
"I heard that the cheapest ticket price for Kimura Kazuya's concert is 1,000 RMB!"
"What? It's that high? "
"Then we definitely have to set a higher price than them!"
"Yeah, we're more famous than him!"
"Yeah, if the ticket prices are too low, it won't look good."
"Let's raise it! Raise it by one slot! "
…
Kim Jichan's team.
"I heard that Kimura Kazuya's and Park Jaesang's ticket prices aren't cheap."
"How much is Zhang Ye's ticket price?"
"I don't even know about it."
"He's too popular in China, so his ticket prices will definitely be more expensive!"
"Yeah, if we lower our ticket prices, how embarrassing would that be!"
"Raise it!"
"Yeah, raise it!"
…
Park Jaesang's team.
"What?"
"They're raising it again?"
"Let's raise it too! Raise it again! "
…
Kimura Kazuya's team.
"Damn!"
"They're competing, right?"
"Who's afraid of who! Raise it! "
…
The tickets were about to go on sale!
Several of the Japanese and Korean teams nearly got into a fight!
Some of them were trying to earn money, while others were trying to save face. In the end, the ticket prices were raised higher and higher!
Finally, when the ticket prices for the three concerts were announced, a lot of the Chinese people were shocked!
Kimura Kazuya's concert ticket prices:
1,200 RMB for the lowest slot.
1,800 RMB for the mid-tier seats.
3,500 RMB for the high-end seats.
8,888 RMB for the VIP seats.
Kim Jichan's concert ticket prices:
1,000 RMB for the lowest slot.
3,000 RMB for the high-end seats.
12888 RMB for the VIP seats.
The most expensive one was Park Jaesang's.
The VIP seats at Park Jaesang's concert were sold for an astonishing 18888 RMB!
…
Zhang Ye also received the news.
He had already rushed over to the studio.
Zhang Ye said, "Has it been confirmed?"
Little Wang quickly pointed at the computer. "It's already been announced. They'll be going on sale very soon!"
Ha Qiqi said, "Director Zhang, let's hurry up and set the price. Don't let them get ahead of us. How much are we going to set? Will it be a little higher than theirs? Or will it be the same as theirs? "
Zhang Zuo also said, "Although it's a little expensive, this is still our first crosstalk tour, so we definitely have to set a higher standard. Moreover, we have to pay the organizers for the venue, staff, and equipment. With our reputation, it's understandable that the ticket prices are a little higher. It's like this these days and the prices are rising year by year."
But Zhang Ye did not say anything.
He suddenly remembered something from his previous world.
— How Heavenly Queen Faye Wong's concert went from being the center of attention to being scolded!
Then, Zhang Ye came up with a plan.
He was going to start scamming people!
…
Online.
The netizens ridiculed.
"It's that expensive?"
"Oh my God!"
"The ticket prices for Zhang Yuanqi's concert last year were about the same, right?"
"Has the ticket prices for concerts risen to such a level?"
"I'm gonna faint. I was still thinking of going to the concert venue, but from the looks of it, I can't afford it even if I eat dirt!"
"Isn't this price a little unreasonable?"
"I think it's still okay. After all, she's very famous."
"Yeah, it's a little expensive."
"But for Oppa, it's still worth it!"
"That's right, that's right. At most, I won't go shopping or eat out for the rest of the year!"
"My family just gave me my living expenses for this semester, so I still have to get it! For Park Jaesang Oppa! Everything is worth it! I just want to see him live! "
"There's no need for that, right! Previous posters, you should just do what you can. "
"What do you know? The ticket prices are all like this these days."
"Right, he's an A-list big shot in Asia, so how can the ticket prices be cheap?"
"Yeah, Zhang Ye's tickets are definitely going to be even more expensive!"
There was quite a bit of controversy online, but it did not cause too many changes.
It was only when the ticket prices for Zhang Ye's crosstalk tour were announced that the entire country blew up!
Beijing Exhibition Center's crosstalk tour ticket prices:
Low-end ticket prices: 288
Middle-end ticket prices: 388
High-end ticket prices: 588
VIP seats: 888
At this moment.
Some people were stunned!
Some people were dumbfounded!
Some people were amused!
Some people were amused!
This was a cabbage price!
This was practically a cabbage price!
