Chapter 3358: Performance Schedule Confirmed

Let these Chinese fans imagine, they couldn't even believe that Tawana would actually hold twenty concerts in China this time.

The heat online reached its peak completely, fan groups were extraordinarily lively, this news was simply too delightful for them.

Upon hearing the number of twenty concerts, major cities across China were all extremely excited, many municipal authorities even immediately contacted Changying Automobile, wanting to know Changying Automobile's city arrangements for these twenty concerts, everyone wanted to secure a few shows for their own city, even just one, which would greatly boost the local economy, reputation, and tourism industry.

Regarding venue selection, Ye Chen temporarily had no very clear idea, he specifically took time to call Tawana to inquire about the specific details of her usual performances.

Tawana told Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, my concerts over the past few years have basically been several shows in one city, then moving to the next city for several shows, arranged this way because the hardware requirements for concerts are getting higher and higher, a concert only takes three or four hours, but the pre-concert setup work requires at least two or three days, if twenty concerts corresponded to twenty cities, then the additional costs would be much higher, all our stage sound and lighting screen equipment would need to undergo twenty rounds of disassembly, assembly, and transportation, which is very troublesome."

Saying this, Tawana added: "By comparison, current transportation is so developed, and ticket sales are global, so frequently changing locations actually doesn't make much sense, since we're selling tickets online to the whole world, no matter where we perform, a large portion of the audience will definitely come from other places, so we might as well concentrate in one place and perform continuously for several days, with equipment needing only one round of disassembly and assembly."

Ye Chen asked her: "Did you previously only choose Singapore for your Southeast Asia performances?"

"Yes." Tawana said: "At that time, the plan was to choose only one place for the Southeast Asia tour, and finally selected Singapore from several cities."

Ye Chen calculated in his mind, if twenty concerts were to be performed in ten to twenty cities, the entire period would require at least over a hundred days, for a star like Tawana, this would delay many other business plans.

Thus, Ye Chen roughly calculated and formed a preliminary plan.

He planned to let Tawana first hold four consecutive shows in Jin Ling, then after four shows, proceed to Yanjing, Hu Cheng, Guang Cheng, and Rong Cheng, each holding four shows.

The cities he chose are all hub cities in China, hub cities have the greatest advantage of convenient transportation and broad radiation range.

Since concert tickets are open for global fan applications, transportation convenience must be considered, it's possible that a considerable portion of the audience will come from overseas, and these cities all have international airports, making it easier for domestic and international fans to come watch.

Ye Chen shared his idea with He Yuanjiang, He Yuanjiang also strongly agreed, holding consecutive four shows could also improve resource utilization efficiency.

Thus, Changying Automobile immediately contacted the other four cities, and in almost the shortest time, confirmed the feasibility of the performances.

Immediately after, Changying Automobile officially announced the specific time and process of Tawana's China tour this time, five days later, Jin Ling's premiere, four shows in five days at the same venue, with one day off in between, then after four days proceed to Yanjing, and subsequent performances would follow this rhythm.

At the same time, several major ticketing platforms began proactively contacting Changying Automobile, hoping to undertake the ticket sales for these performances, they even offered an extremely high premium to buy out all ticket sales rights in bulk, for a 30,000-person concert, they could quote a bundled price of 200 million yuan.

The reason they could offer such a high price, far exceeding the face value total box office, is because they themselves are official scalpers, once these concert tickets are allocated to them, they will definitely use every means to push ticket prices to the highest.

On the internet, many netizens also began speculating about the ticket prices for this performance, due to numerous past concert precedents, everyone felt this concert's ticket prices would definitely set a new high.

However, Changying Automobile soon held a press conference.

At the press conference, He Yuanjiang faced national reporters and answered questions about ticket sales.

He said: "The reason our Changying Automobile chose to cooperate with Miss Tawana·Svet to hold these twenty concerts is to allow domestic fans to closely enjoy their idol's wonderful performance, and to eliminate phenomena like price inflation and speculation, we decided to adopt a completely new ticket sales model."

Upon saying this, all media became very attentive and curious.

Many event organizers claim they will do everything possible to eliminate scalpers, but in reality they have never truly taken action, they merely try to suppress those scalpers outside as much as possible, then keep all the scalpers' profits for themselves.

Someone calculated that if these twenty concerts all followed the previous method, with crazy price hikes or even crazy bidding sales, then box office revenue would at least reach one hundred billion RMB or even more.

Everyone believed Changying Automature would naturally not miss this good opportunity to make money.

However, what followed, He Yuanjiang's words left all media stunned.

He said: "Changying Automobile will cooperate with Jin Ling Notary Department, adopting online declaration and random lottery draw for the ticket sales method of all twenty concerts, we will open applications for all concert tickets tomorrow, the application requirement is real-name application and real-name viewing, after viewers submit applications, we will announce the lottery results three days before each concert begins;"

"To benefit as many viewers as possible, each viewer can apply for any one of the twenty concerts, or apply for all concerts, but the lottery chance is only once, if a user has already won tickets for any concert, they no longer have the chance to win tickets for other concerts."

"All lottery results will be fairly and randomly drawn by software developed by Changying Automobile itself, the software's source code and lottery random logic, the actual lottery process, will be fully supervised and monitored by notary personnel throughout, ensuring no favoritism or fraud, and no behind-the-scenes manipulation."

"Changying Automobile hereby promises to domestic and global fan friends that we will not hand over any ticket from these twenty concerts to any third-party sales platform or individual, each ticket will be sold at face value, absolutely not charging an extra cent."

"Additionally, we also welcome all sectors of society to supervise the entire process of this ticket sales."

"Finally, we sincerely hope that through Changying Automobile's this open, fair, and just ticket sales process, we can set an example for other peer companies, and more importantly, hope that through this performance, the phenomenon of concert ticket price inflation becomes history!!"
