On the morning of September 24, some tourists from other places reported to Jieyou Gang, saying that in front of the of the Presidential Palace scenic spot in Nanjing, there were many "scalpers" selling tickets at the price. The reporter decided to go to the scene to verify.
routine! Use information asymmetry to make the difference from the middle
At 11:00 a.m., the reporter came to the Presidential Palace Scenic Area. After visiting, the reporter found that many tourists were not clear about the cancellation of the manual ticket sales window and changed to online ticket purchases, and they did not even find any notifications posted online ticket purchases.
reporters found out according to the online ticket purchase method posted on the spot that adult tickets were 33 yuan per day, and there were 609 tickets left on the day.
At this moment, a woman took the initiative to chat with the reporter. According to the woman, if a tourist purchases tickets online, he cannot make a reservation normally. She must purchase an internal ticket through her before entering the park.
In order to understand how the woman buys tickets and purchases through normal channels, the reporter paid 43 yuan to ask the woman to buy a ticket on his behalf. Through the reporter's observation, it was found that the woman used conventional payment methods to buy tickets for the reporter and charged 10 yuan extra. It turned out that these people who came to help tourists buy tickets are commonly known as "scalpers", who deceived tourists to earn the difference...
reporter dissuaded tourists who were preparing to buy tickets from "scalpers", and asked other tourists why they wanted to buy "scalpers". Most tourists said that because they were not clear about the process of online ticket purchase, they could only ask someone to do it for them.
helpless! Scenic spot staff: I can't control
The reporter reported to the on-site ticket inspectors of the Presidential Palace scenic spot, but they seemed to be accustomed to this, and no staff member of the scenic spot came forward to remind tourists not to buy "scalper tickets".
Then, the reporter also reported this situation to the scenic spot management party. A staff member said helplessly that this situation had been going on for a long time. They have always wanted to solve this problem, but have never found a good solution and do not know which law enforcement department to report it to. He also said that if the tickets for the scenic spot were sold out that day, they would definitely post announcements at the door, and tourists should not believe the lies of scalpers easily.
Looking at the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the number of tourists coming from other places will increase significantly, and the number of "scalpers" in such a way may also increase accordingly. Suggestions for the relief of worries: On the one hand, the scenic spots in Nanjing Presidential Palace should strengthen the management of this issue, such as posting notices outside the scenic spot, sending staff to verbally remind tourists, etc.; on the other hand, they can also contact law enforcement agencies to crack down on "scalpers" who have been repeatedly educated and deceived tourists for a long time in accordance with the law, so as to maintain the order and image of the scenic spot and protect the interests of the majority of tourists.
