If you ask me, the most effective way to crack down on the scalping gangs is to encourage organizers of mega events to sell their tickets by way of “real-name registration”, under which ticket purchasers are required to provide the names of the attendees for printing on the tickets at the time of ticket purchase.
Ticket holders whose names are different from those shown on the tickets can be denied entry to the show. That would basically kill the ticket reselling market.
The real-name registration system has already been adopted elsewhere. Now, it is time for the Hong Kong government to act.
Authorities should put in place new legislation as soon as possible if they want real progress on the curbing ticket scalping.

ticket scalping 在 方保僑 Francis Fong Facebook 的精選貼文
Francis Fong Po-kiu, honorary president of the Hong Kong Information Technology Federation, said providing a system for online ticket sales was not addressing the issue.
“The system was just overloaded when hundreds of thousands of people were trying to access it at the same time” Fong said. “Increasing the bandwidth won’t help much. It is like building a 20-lane highway leading to the Cross Harbour Tunnel, but it won’t ease congestion if it is still a two-lane tunnel.
“The move will also not stop scalping, let alone make it easier for fans to buy tickets.”
He said “a real-name registration system” should be the ultimate solution.

活動倒數3天!由於陸續收到各位朋友的熱情私訊,霍夫曼先生特別在此提醒:

Queue overnight is not allowed before the convention.
▶ S21~S24 購買隊伍、預售票入場隊伍、以及當日票入場隊伍都必須一人持一票入場,不得代排或一人兌換多張票券。
1 person can only get into the queue with 1 ticket. Queue or purchase for others are not allowed.

▶ 活動現場嚴禁兜售黃牛票或高價轉賣當日販售之商品。
Scalping or reselling products with higher prices are both not allowed during the convention.
▶ 由於網路上陸續出現代購與求代購預售票之訊息,籌辦組特別在此提醒大家注意購買渠道,小心詐騙。
目前霍夫曼唯一合作售票的紀物書館仍然還有少量票卷,建議需要的朋友可以直接前往購買。
Due to there are many ticket resell or purchasing posts online, Mr. Hoffmann would kindly remind everyone beware of fraud.
Our only official partner, +DOC+Bookstore is still having tickets in stock, so you should be able to purchase from them.
▶ 由於活動現場人流與裝置繁多,考量安全與健康,將全面禁止2歲以上、12歲以下的孩童,以及動物入場。
2歲以下兒童入場必須全程乘坐嬰兒推車或背袋,並由父母陪同。
Due to the possible crowd of the convention, and also the health and safety, we are not able to receive children under age 12 and animals.
For children under age 2, must be taken by baby carriage or carrier, and accompanied by parents.
感謝各位朋友的支持與配合 <3
Thank you all again for supports and cooperation <3
