HONG KONG: Over 30 cases of illegal ticket sales for G-Dragon's (pic) upcoming "Ubermensch" tour stops in Hong Kong have been reported to local police, according to a Hong Kong media outlet.
Hong Kong Free Press reported on Aug 4 that fans were tricked into buying scalped tickets to sold-out G-Dragon shows, with damages totalling about HK$610,000 (US$77,700), citing a Facebook post written by CyberDefender, a unit under the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau.
The singer's Hong Kong shows slated for three days from Aug 7-9 at the AsiaWorld-Arena — his first there in eight years — sold out immediately, with scalpers reportedly reselling tickets at two to five times the face value.
"The issue of scalped tickets is not something we can control because the concert is being organised by AGA (a live entertainment company), from selling the tickets to notifying fans about the concert," an official at Galaxy Corp, G-Dragon's agency, told The Korea Herald. - The Korea Herald/ANN
