Fans Rush To Buy Tickets To JJ Lin’s Chengdu Concert, Only To End Up With Passes To George Lam’s Show

Netizens have accused ticketing platform Damai of misleading fans while the platform says the fans were too anxious and clicked the wrong option. So many of them?!

We’ve heard many stories of fans falling for ticket scams, but now it seems you have to be careful when buying from official ticketing platforms too.

Mandopop star JJ Lin recently announced the schedule for his JJ20 World Tour for the first half of 2024.

When tickets went on sale on Jan 12, Chinese fans rushed to snag passes to his Chengdu shows on March 9 and 10.

However, many were shocked to receive tickets to Hong Kong singer George Lam’s show on Mar 13 instead.

When they tried to get a refund, their request was rejected.

Many disgruntled netizens took to Weibo to express their frustration, accusing ticketing platform Damai of mishandling ticket sales.

When contacted by the media, Damai said it had verified the system and found no errors.

Instead, it said fans were probably too anxious and selected the wrong option during purchase.

It's a trap

However, netizens claim Damai was out to mislead fans.

According to fans, there was a JJ20 World Tour thumbnail on the homepage of the app which you could click to purchase tickets.

But if you look closely, at the top right hand corner is a line in small font that states “George Lam Chengdu”.

Many felt this was a ticket trap and insisted that there was no way they would have made a mistake.

Furthermore, it is not the first time this has happened.

“Previously, I was also taken to [the page of] another singer whose surname is Lin," said one fan, while another wrote: "It has nothing to do with which singer’s [tickets I received]. It is Damai who is not doing its job and doesn’t respect fans and singers."
