Chapter 266 Buying Scalper Tickets Is Against the Law
There is a corridor on the top of the Grand Theater. Visitors can go up to feel the feeling of watching Taihu Lake from a height, and can clearly see the place where the musical fountain is in the distance.

The wind is relatively strong, sticking people's clothes to the skin.

The surface of the water is also scale-like ripples, each of which has a dazzling little sun.

The sunlight reflected by water is the softest, and sometimes you can even watch it with your eyes, but this kind of softness is also relative to metal, and it still hurts your eyes if you look at it for a long time.

Chen Xing likes to look at the rivers, lakes and seas, the vast field of vision and the feeling of the wind blowing on his cheeks.

In spring, it is estimated that it is especially good to take some scenery on the water.

But forget it now, there is no shelter for you to hide from the sun, even if there is wind, Chen Xing turned around and walked down with other tourists who came up.

Before I came here, I wanted to watch a Yue opera here, and then I just went to see the musical fountain when the show was over.

But Chen Xing was really not interested in this dance drama, so he navigated to the Wujiang Culture and Art Center mentioned by the driver, planning to go there to see if there were any performances.

I don't know if I found the wrong place. Although it can't be considered too far away, it's really not close by walking. It's a full six kilometers.

You can go for a walk in the morning and evening, but during the day... forget it.

Still choose to ride in the past.

This art center is relatively ordinary, but it is also a standard theater-shaped building.

It doesn't look very big, it is estimated that it can seat seven to eight hundred people at most.

The navigation actually has two destinations, one is this theater, and the other is the association or something. Chen Xing asked the driver to come here because there were no comments. At least there are comments about the performances in the navigation.

The Art Center is right next to the road. After getting off the bus, walk through a small green belt in front of you.

"ballet……"

Why is it a dance drama again?

As soon as Chen Xing approached here, he saw a huge advertisement. Perhaps this theater was not as famous as the Grand Theater, nor could it attract a large number of tourists like the Grand Theater itself. The advertisements here were huge.

In addition to a vertical billboard at the door, there is also a huge banner on the top.

When Chen Xing saw the dance drama, he was really not very interested.

But soon he thought it might be good to watch a dance drama?

Different from the previous advertisements in the Grand Theater, there is only a flying peacock on the vertical billboard, and a close-up of Teacher Yang Liping's face in a dance costume... only the close-up of the face, the kind that can't be seen below the neck .

But this dance drama in the cultural center is very beautiful.

On the huge banner above, on the left is the name of the dance drama "Zhaojun Out of the Fortress", and besides the text, it is a group of beautiful dancers dancing in red ancient costumes, with natural and soft expressions.

it's beautiful……

Walking in and taking a look, the vertical billboard at the door is exactly the same as that over there, but the performance of the characters will be a little more.

A beautiful woman is doing a classical dance pose, her figure is very elegant, and there is a long introduction in the lower right corner.

The dance drama "Zhaojun's Outing of the Fortress" starts from the battle with the Xiongnu in the frontier fortress during the Han Dynasty. A good story.

Main actors: Zhaojun: Tang Shiyi...

There are several names behind it, it should be several actresses playing this role at the same time.

Chen Xing rubbed his chin to think, saying that he is not interested in modern dance dramas, but as a person who loves ancient culture, Chen Xing also has a heart to learn classical dance. Anyway, tonight is fine, buy a ticket and go in to see it?

Chen Xing also confirmed that the performance was indeed tonight.

He went to look for the ticket sales place first. Two girls in their twenties were chatting inside the counter. When they saw Chen Xing coming in, they immediately sat up with their chests up, as if I was very professional.

"Are there still tickets for the evening performance?" Chen Xing asked as soon as he came in.

"Is Zhaojun leaving the fortress? There seems to be no tickets? Let me check for you."

Ordinary dance dramas cannot be sold out, but tonight's troupe, as well as the dance drama Zhaojun's Out of the Fortress, are well-known in China.After they announced the performance on the Internet, people from other provinces even came to watch it.

"Sorry, there are no tickets left."

"no yet?"

Chen Xing shook his head in disappointment.

But immediately an aunt walked up to Chen Xing and asked, "Handsome guy, do you want to cut the money?"

"Forehead……"

Chen Xing was stunned when he saw her face. Usually the people who came to him to strike up a conversation were young and beautiful girls, but this was the first time he turned his head and saw an old face that had experienced many vicissitudes. He was shocked...but soon realized that she who is it.

"Do you have a ticket?"

"There are tickets, there are two seats in the pool seat, both are in the front row, and there are tickets on the second floor. The seats with the best viewing experience only need this amount."

She didn't speak, but made a gesture of three.

"three hundred?"

The aunt shook her head and made another five.

"five hundred?"

Chen Xing has never bought scalpers, and he hates riddlers.

"Oh, young people, haven't you seen a show? You can see a show for [-] cents, but you can't see it if you buy a ticket for [-] to [-] cents. If you want to watch a show, I'm talking... [-], Do you want three thousand tickets?"

Chen Xing was stunned, I want a fart!
He is indeed not short of money, but wouldn't he be taken advantage of by paying 3000 yuan to watch a dance performance?
There are so many stars in the Jiaxing Music Festival, and the ticket is only 900 yuan. You will charge me 3000 yuan for a performance of up to two or three hours. Is it your brain disease or my brain disease?
"Don't don't!"

It can also be seen from here that Chen Xing has never found a scalper.

It is normal for scalpers to double the number of times. Anyway, the ticket is here. If you want to see it, just say whether to buy it or not.

"Oh handsome guy, don't worry, it's Chizuo, Chizuo, the closest position to the stage, only a few meters away from the actors, if you like a certain actor, you can see their every move clearly."

"Where is the pool seat?"

"It's the front row below the stage, and my ticket is the first row inside the front row."

"Can I watch the drama well? It's too close, too close."

"The viewing area is also available. The best viewing area, the ticket on the second floor, will be sold to you for 2000 yuan."

She stopped talking nonsense, and she also found out that Chen Xing was just a young man. Chen Xing probably didn't understand if he said it broadly, and this kind of young man was generally not a policeman, so there was no need to be cautious.

"Are the tickets for the second floor more expensive?"

"Yes."

"Then you also charge me [-] for the ticket in front of you?"

"Then you can negotiate the price."

The aunt was also in a hurry to buy tickets. They knew on the Internet that the tickets for this show were not worrying about selling, so there were so many people who wanted to see them that they came to grab them.But I found out that the group of people only talked but didn't do anything, and there was a lot of clamor on the Internet, but few people came to them to buy tickets.

This is also related to the fact that they only sell tickets on the spot.

There are no stars in the dance drama, and there are no diehard fans who are willing to come outside the theater to buy tickets. Everyone sees that the tickets are sold out.I just feel a little pity that I didn't get a ticket, and I don't have the idea of ​​coming to the scene to find scalpers.

In the end, Chen Xing spent [-] yuan to buy a ticket for a pool seat. He really didn't know as much about dance dramas as other audiences. Before today, he hadn't even heard of dance dramas a few times, let alone Chinese classical dance dramas. dance theater.

To put it bluntly, he was simply bored at night and came to see beautiful women.

Therefore, compared to the areas that look good in the back, the pool seat area is Chen Xing's best choice.

Chen Xing felt uneasy when he got the ticket, so he went back to the ticket center to find the two beauties, and asked, "Beauty, beauties, help me see if this ticket is real?"

"What? You got a ticket?"

They were also very surprised, and took a look at Chen Xing's ticket.

"It's true, our theater is rarely so lively, and the tickets for the pool seats have not been sold for a long time."

"Can I see where this ticket is located?"

One of the beauties clicked on the computer, and the screen in front of Chen Xing displayed the floor plan of their theater, which looked like a movie theater.

The theater of the Culture and Art Center is divided into two floors, and the third floor cannot be called a floor, but a box.

The tickets for the private rooms are given out by the theater, and they can't grab them. The front seats on the second floor are the best tickets. In comparison, the pool seats are cheaper, even though they are the closest to the stage.

The pool seat is generally the place where the live band will be performing. If the performance does not require a live band, the theater will cover this area and put seats in it, so that more tickets can be charged and more audiences can be accommodated.

Chen Xing checked, and the aunt was right, she was really close to the stage.

The other girl selling tickets looked younger and more active. She clasped her hands on the stage and asked Chen Xing curiously, "Where did you get your tickets? You can't find scalpers, right?"

"They found me."

"My God, there are really scalpers, Sister Lin, our theater also has scalpers!"

Sister Lin is the one who operates the computer. When she heard this, she glanced outside the house and asked Chen Xing, "Is that auntie?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Selling scalpers is against the law."

Chen Xing: "..."

She didn't say that Chen Xing didn't know yet.

He thought that the scalpers just bought tickets at a low price, and finally sold the tickets at a high price to other people who needed them. At most, they were speculative behaviors in the past, but now they are no longer charged with this crime. Is it still an illegal act?
Chen Xing asked nervously, "Then what should I buy?"

The young beauty smiled: "I don't know either, it's probably illegal, right?"

Chen Xing thought about it deeply.

Forget it, don't even think about it, call the police!

I have already bought a ticket, and reporting to the police is a report. Don't let others take the credit for this.

The big deal is a loss of more than 1000 yuan.

And the tickets for this position are definitely empty, and it is possible to buy them again in the theater at that time.

The ticket sellers may not even know that Chen Xing didn't go back to wait for the show to start after buying the tickets, but went to the ticket hall to confirm.At this time, she was still looking bitterly at the crowds in front of the theater, seeing who was staying at the gate of the theater, so she went up and asked, "My friend, do you want to cut the tickets?"

I don't know that the three people in the ticket hall are plotting to report.

Made a few phone calls.

The two girls notified the supervisor first, and Chen Xing directly called a branch office only two kilometers away.

After 2 minutes, a person who looked like a leader came out of the door inside the ticket hall.

As soon as he came in, he asked, "Really? Gou Lin, are the tickets for our theater also so popular?"

The people in their cultural and art center never hold any concerts, they only promote traditional culture, usually it’s not Yue opera or other local operas, and then there are folk orchestras, classical orchestras, classical dance dramas and so on.

Although the crew performing tonight is a little famous on the Internet, but after a little research, I know that the scalper tickets for dance dramas are not very easy to sell.

Therefore, it was the first time he heard that their theater also had scalpers.

"Yeah, it's true, this handsome guy discovered it!" Another young girl rushed to say.

The leader looked at Chen Xing and said enthusiastically: "Thank you, fancier, you have done us a big favor, and it was our negligence. I never thought about scalping tickets, and I don't know how many seats will be vacant tonight. .”

There are two kinds of scalpers, one is professional scalpers, and the other is self-directed and self-acted.

He confirmed that no one in the crew did such a thing, so the outsiders must be ticket sellers in the society.

Under the identification of the staff, he also saw the middle-aged aunt wandering on the side of the road. She looked sneaky, not to mention a ticket dealer, or a thief.

The leader looked at her, and then at Chen Xing behind him who was sitting on a chair playing with his mobile phone.

Sure enough, temperament is invisible and intangible, but it is definitely related to a person's heart.That aunt cringes when she looks at it, and the temperament she cultivates is also related to her profession.

As for this guest named Chen Xing, he seemed to be a well-mannered person, rich and confident.

"Did you call the police?"

"Call the police."

He was talking with Chen Xing, when suddenly a few plainclothes men in front of him shot and held the aunt down, scaring many people around—then immediately they took out their mobile phones, no matter what happened, they first took a picture of Moments.

Then a person came in and asked, "Who called the police?"

Chen Xing raised his hand, put away his phone and stood up, and said, "I reported it, have you caught anyone?"

"I've caught it. Over there, can you identify it for us? Just here."

He has a good attitude and is very polite.

Chen Xing glanced outside, and the aunt was cursing and yelling for innocence.

"It's her." Chen Xing nodded.

"Then do you have time? If you have time, can you take a record with us? It's very simple, if you don't have time, you can do it here."

In reality, there is no rule in the novel that the people who call the police must follow them to take notes, otherwise many illegal things will be seen and ignored.Some unimportant things can be dealt with on the spot.

And if you want to talk about evidence, the tickets found from the aunt are the evidence.

Chen Xing took out the ticket he bought and said, "I bought one for more than 1000 yuan, and the ticket is for you. Can you help me get this money back?"

"Of course no problem." He took the ticket from Chen Xing, stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, little brother."

Chen Xing shook hands with him.

The theater leader who came out just now followed them, and Chen Xing and two girls who sold tickets were left in the ticket hall.

Chen Xing asked: "What about my ticket for tonight's performance?"

"Hee hee, you still want to watch the show all of a sudden? Don't worry, there's no one there anyway, I'll just ask for another ticket for you later."
