S.H.E’s Ella Chen stands up against ticket scalpers
The singer-actress urged her fans to refrain from buying the tickets, which were priced as high as S$670 each
Rumours about S.H.E's possible disbandment started circulating after Ella Chen announced her decision to seek a new management agency. However, despite all speculation, preparations for the group’s 10th anniversary concert is reportedly proceeding smoothly.
A number of free tickets were released online recently in order to allow ardent fans of the group a chance to watch S.H.E perform live. As the group wanted to prevent scalpers from getting their hands on the free tickets, fans had to answer a question about S.H.E before they could indicate their interest for a ticket.
The question required fans to rank the names of all the concerts that S.H.E has held to date in chronological order. With six different concert names, ranging from '2gether 4ever’ to 'S.H.E is the One’, the group hoped to weed out scalpers who wanted to obtain the tickets to sell them at a high price.
However, despite their best efforts, a number of scalpers still managed to get their hands on the tickets, with some tickets being listed for as high as NT$15000 (approximately S$670) for a single ticket.
After seeing the exorbitantly-priced tickets, S.H.E member Ella took to her Weibo account to denounce the said scalpers, calling upon the group’s fans to come together to report and fight back against them.
She also reiterated that the best way to deal with such scalpers is to show no interest in their tickets, even inserting an emoji of a middle finger in her post, writing, “Good people would never resort to scalping."
