LOL: Who still wants to play professionally after winning the championship?

Chapter 402 Can’t buy tickets!

[League of Legends Events]:
"Tickets for the knockout semi-finals will be officially opened at @damai.com at 9:1 pm on September 14st!"

——Published at 8:30 on August 18
Weibo.

League of Legends event officials released ticket sales information for the finals and group stages on August 8.

Since the lottery groupings have not yet been released, and there are too many teams in the group stage and playoffs, there are only three teams in the LPL, and it is really difficult to meet them.

Therefore, many viewers who wanted to watch the game live did not make a purchase.

This also makes tickets more abundant.

After all, tickets for the playoffs are priced at 250 yuan, while tickets for the group stage are 280 yuan, which is still relatively expensive for many viewers of League of Legends events.

It took a full five days before the tickets for the qualifying round and the group stage were almost sold out, leaving only some corner seats unsold.

however!
Tickets for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were sold out instantly as soon as they started to be sold. This was in sharp contrast to the sales situation of tickets for the qualifying group matches.

This directly led to many spectators who wanted to watch the game live. They slowly clicked on the ticket purchase link and saw rows of gray seats.

I finally spotted a spot that was still available and clicked on it, but the next second it popped up:
"The seat you selected has been sold, please choose again!"

But after refreshing again, the website crashed!
"Wori, your uncle!"

"I didn't even buy flowers when I met my long-distance girlfriend, just to save money and go to the knockout rounds to see if our country, Guodian, will be eliminated in the top eight again this year."

"As a result, your fucking tickets are gone. What does this mean?"

"Grass!"

In a dormitory of a certain university, a man with messy hair just woke up from a nap, looked at a website that he couldn't access on his mobile phone, and couldn't help but curse.

At the same time, he said to the shop with a cold voice:
"hehe."

"It's already past two-thirty. You're thinking too much about buying a ticket, right?"

"I just set the alarm and got up to grab tickets. When I clicked on the C-level tickets, the tickets were gone. After refreshing, there were only a few B-level tickets and a lot of A-level tickets."

"After hesitating for two seconds, I decided to buy the tickets in Category B, but after refreshing, only the tickets in Category A that were slightly inferior were left."

"680 yuan, I don't look down on it."

Although he didn't curse as loudly as the college student just now, this person was obviously in a bad mood.

"Isn't it normal to not be able to buy tickets? Just now I saw WE Strawberry on Weibo saying that none of the friends he knew had bought any S7 tickets. It felt like all the tickets were in the hands of scalpers."

"And then Miller said he didn't have a ticket either."

"Tmd, Damai.com must have something to do with scalpers. Otherwise, how could we not be able to buy a single ticket if there are so many people trying to rob it?"

"Some tickets are now sold online for 6000 yuan. You must know that the official highest-priced ticket is only 680 yuan in total."

A third person in the dormitory appears.

"6000 yuan, why didn't he go and rob me?"

"what else can we do?"

"It's really hard to hold the World Championship in China, but I don't even have tickets. What's going on?"

Several people kept complaining.

The college student who just woke up thought that he was a believer and went to Taobao to buy a scalper ticket to watch the game.

It turned out that, just as the third person said, the ticket prices were all ridiculously high.

Tickets for the lowest level have tripled.

"Private Damai Network!"

"He will definitely join forces with scalpers!"

Frustrated, the college student smashed the wall.

"Ouch, what are you doing?"

The fourth person sleeping on the bed opposite him stretched lazily. "You can't even buy tickets if you're still sleeping!"

"It's really annoying."

"It took a lot of effort for us to play the quarterfinals in Guangzhou, but we didn't get any tickets."

"Hey." Listening to his classmates' endless complaints, this classmate who just woke up said with a touch of sadness:
"That's such a pity."

"Hey."

"We can't go to the game together."

"Yeah, that's a pity." The third person agreed, but he quickly noticed something was wrong.

"What do you mean?"

"From what you said, it sounds like I've got a ticket."

"I didn't grab it." Xiaosi answered truthfully.

Third person: "Then you are just pretending."

Xiao Si: “But I have a ticket.”

Third person: "Didn't you say you didn't get a ticket?"

Xiaosi: "Yes, but I am a loyal fan of GBG Club. Don't you know? You can get tickets by following GBG's Kuaiduo account and participating in the lottery link posted in his comments."

"Dude, I got hit last night."

“So you don’t have to grab tickets at all, the tickets are free.”

Xiaosi was very proud.

The other three students couldn't help but widen their eyes after hearing Xiao Si's vote.

They all opened their own Kuaishou accounts and searched for the GBG club to see if they could get tickets.

Then, I discovered that the event had ended half a day ago.

"Grass!"

……

"Our club purchased a total of 6 tickets for 12 games over 1200 days."

“On the Kuai Dou platform, we selected a total of 1000 lucky fans to conduct real-name ticket giving activities.”

"There are 200 tickets left."

Bella told Tang Jun about the progress of the GBG Club ticket giveaway event.

As a time traveler, Tang Jun certainly has a deep memory of the S7 World Championship and League of Legends events where tickets were hard to get.

At that time, because the LPL won the intercontinental championship, and the League of Legends event was held in China for the first time, and the games were played in four major cities in turn, the popularity was quite high.

So much so that when tickets for the finals were sold during the semi-finals, it was hard to get a ticket, and even the tickets for the finals directly cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

But in the end, because the WE team and the RNG team lost to the Samsung team and the SKT team respectively, the finals eventually became a civil war between the two LCK teams.

The tickets for the finals that were originally bid up to high prices suddenly plummeted, and the tickets that were sold to sky-high prices in the hands of some hoarding scalpers instantly became worthless.

In the end, I was bought directly by the stick guys for a very small amount of money.
Therefore, Tang Jun's memory is particularly profound.

He knew clearly that so many spectators and even professional commentators couldn't get tickets could only mean that the ticket selling website was connected to scalpers.

Therefore, he directly used his own methods, found scalpers, made an appointment in advance and purchased a batch of tickets at an increased price to give them away for free.

As for why not go to Damai.com.
The main reason is that Tang Jun is afraid that after the "scalper self-exposure incident" is spread, the reputation of the GBG club will become less good.

After all, GBG is no different from scalpers in this way.
Therefore, he would rather spend more money than directly collude with that damn Damai.com.
