The outside world was still waiting and watching at the beginning of Eason Chan's concert, because I don't know if there would be a sluggish sales situation under the epidemic and the lack of support from mainland fans.

Hong Kong singer Eason Chan officially announced in September that it will hold 18 consecutive concerts at the end of 2022 and will be publicly sold on October 6. The outside world was still waiting and watching at the beginning of Eason Chan's concert, because I don't know if there would be a sluggish sales situation under the epidemic and the lack of support from mainland fans. It is purely unnecessary to have such concerns. In fact, after the concert tickets were officially launched, it caused a traffic jam on the Internet, and the tickets were eventually sold out, which made many fans who wanted to buy but could not buy tickets.

Now, the organizer of Eason Chan's concert announced that four more concerts will be held based on the original sessions. This time, a total of 14,000 tickets will be released, including many good positions. However, with Eason Chan's appeal, even if 14,000 tickets are released, it may not meet the needs of fans. In total, there are only 72,000 tickets sold to the public (58,000 were sold in the first 18 concerts).

Eason Chan's concert is a popular concert in Hong Kong, and he should not have to worry about selling it. However, due to the impact of the epidemic in recent years, more importantly, the mainland and Hong Kong have not yet passed the pass, which means that a large part of the customer base will be lost. This is also one of the reasons why the outside world is worried about the box office after the organizer of Eason Chan announced the opening of 18 concerts - what is worried is that there will be oversupply in so many concerts without the support of mainland customers. Obviously, this worry is unnecessary.

First of all, the concerts held in Hong Kong are still affected by epidemic prevention policies. That is to say, only 80% of people can sit in a concert, and every six people must be separated, which invisibly reduces the number of people entering the venue. In addition, Eason Chan opened a three-sided table this time. The three-sided table is different from the four-sided table, which can accommodate more people, so the number of people entering the venue has been reduced. The average number of people in a concert is less than 7,000. More importantly, the tickets for publicly sold in Hong Kong concerts have always been limited. At least 50% of the tickets for a concert are subscribed internally, and there are very few tickets for real external sales. Based on Eason Chan's 18 concerts, there are only 58,000 tickets sold externally, and an average of only 3,200 tickets sold externally. This is no wonder it will be a big deal.

Tickets for popular concerts in Hong Kong are becoming increasingly difficult to buy. Scalpers have their responsibilities, and internal subscription is also the main problem. Why is it called internal subscription? To put it bluntly, most of the tickets were sold to sponsors and related households. Singers need a lot of money to hold concerts. Record companies or singers themselves cannot pay out of their own pockets. This requires sponsors. If sponsors provide sponsorship funds, they will have internal ticket subscription rights. Sponsors need to give these internal subscribed tickets to their affiliated households. The share of concert tickets accounts for a large share, resulting in fewer tickets sold to the public. Therefore, the problem of internal subscription tickets is not solved. What is real-name system and crackdown on scalpers is empty talk. After all, many of the scalpers' ticket sources come from secondary sales of internal subscriptions, but the dependence and demand of sponsors is impossible to cancel internal subscriptions, which leads to a vicious cycle.

Eason Chan did not adopt the real-name ticket purchase method at this concert, but Eason Chan has made the best efforts, and at least nearly 50% of the tickets are available for sale, and the tickets released for sale are all good, and many of them are in the middle. In addition, the priority ordering permission for credit cards was cancelled, and the ticketing system was upgraded overnight, hoping to clear the flow of people and avoid traffic jams on the Internet. In order to allow more people to buy tickets, it is also stipulated that one person can only buy four tickets, but there is no way to solve the problem of difficulty in getting a ticket. After the concert tickets were released, traffic jams began and they did not open until 8 pm, but all tickets were sold out at this time.

It is inevitable that Hong Kong popular singers will add to the concert. This is one of the publicity methods. Eason Chan only announced 18 games at the beginning, and obviously there is room for extra play. Hong Kong Red Hall concert schedules are generally scheduled together with Christmas and New Year. The last of Eason Chan’s previous public events was December 31, and there are obviously still New Year’s Eve events that have not been made public. This time, four more events were announced, from January 2 to 4, and from 6 to 7. Judging from the current situation, if there is no accident, you should announce the addition again. There is still a chance to add on January 1 or January 5, which depends on the organizer's intention. In fact, the scheduled concerts Eason Chan originally was to hold at the end of 2019 were 25, and the number of concerts now open is only 22. The number of extra concerts is just a little bit for Eason Chan, but for fans, they have to make trouble and work hard to grab tickets. The 14,000 tickets added are likely to be lost in seconds.
