Tickets for the concert, Faye’s Moments Live 2016, have yet to go on sale but ticket scalpers have already started hawking the prized tickets at inflated prices.
Due to the high demand for tickets to the show, front row seats are reported to have been marked up to a whopping RMB 200,000 (approximately S$40,000), while a seat within the first ten rows from the stage are priced at an exorbitant RMB 88,000 (approximately S$18,000).
According to Chinese media reports, the organiser has ten-page list of people who they have pre-sold tickets to and includes big names such as Hong Kong actor Tony Leung and his wife Carina Lau.
Due to the sky-high prices and limited ticket quantities, ardent fans are hopeful the ticket resellers have yet to physically obtain the tickets, which increases the chances of them buying the tickets directly from the organiser at the original price.
However, there is hope for fans who cannot afford the five figure sum as a pay-to-watch live broadcast of the concert is currently in the midst of discussions and will allow them to watch the concert in the comfort of their homes.
