Taiwanese scalper resells the BLACKPINK concert tickets four times higher than the actual price 

Taiwan’s “ET Today” reported, on March 15th, the price of BLACKPINK’s concert quadrupled through an article, stating the price went from 8,800 to 36,000 New Taiwan dollars. 

According to the media, the Kaohsiung police in Taiwan caught a scalper who was illegally selling BLACKPINK tickets online this weekend from March 18th to 19th. Scalper Wi is expected to face a fine for scalping tickets.

According to reports, Wi tried to sell tickets worth T$8,800 (about 370,000 won) for T$36,000 (about 1.53 million won), four times the original price. They also offered T$5,800-worth (about 247,000 won) tickets for the same performance for T$12,000 (512,900 Korean won). Fortunately, due to the insurmountable prices, no actual transactions reportedly took place. 

Earlier, also in Kaohsiung, the accommodation costs in the adjacent areas reportedly soared when the BLACKPINK concert was confirmed. It is said that before and after the BLACKPINK’s concert announcement, Hanwha’s accommodation fee jumped around 800,000 won, and most of the rooms have been booked.

BLACKPINK will continue their tour in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for a two-day concert on March 18th and 19th.
