According to reports mentioned in the program "Hidden Eye", this group has purchased a large number of concert tickets from many famous artists such as G-Dragon (Big Bang), Blackpink, and Seventeen.
After that, they resold it at a price 25 times higher than the original price, earning an estimated profit of about 7.1 billion won (nearly 130 billion VND).
This line is said to use organized methods to collect large quantities of tickets - it can take advantage of online ticket booking systems or use automated tools (bots) to buy tickets.
After owning tickets, they resell them through unofficial channels at "cut-throat" prices, targeting fans who are eager to attend performances that are sold out.
In a transaction, the buyer suddenly changed his attitude, making the situation tense on the spot. This scene revealed in the program made viewers "hold their breath", and the reaction of the cast also showed the seriousness of the problem.
Ticket scalping has long been a persistent problem in Kpop, but the scale this time shows how organized and profitable it has become.
With global artists like G-Dragon, Blackpink or Seventeen, the ticket buying demand of fans is extremely high, and tickets are often "out of stock" in just a few minutes of opening - creating ideal conditions for ticket scalpers to profit.
For fans, this situation leads to ticket prices being inflated too high, reducing the opportunity to buy official tickets and increasing the risk of being scammed.
In the context of the global demand for Kpop concerts continuing to increase sharply, calls to tighten regulations and improve ticket sales systems are increasing.
