Ahead of pop star Bruno Mars' concert in South Korea next month, a large number of so-called "black tickets" have been uncovered.
Live Nation Korea, a performance production company, announced in a post titled "Notice of Cancellation of Fraudulent Ticket for Bruno Mars' Korean Concert" posted on Facebook on the 3rd, "We have canceled the reservation of seats for fraudulent tickets identified on second-hand trading sites and premium ticket sites."
They said that the number of seats for checking fraudulent transactions revealed by Live Nation Korea on this day was more than 60, and a number of other fraudulent transaction seats were confirmed.
The production company said, "If fraudulent ticket transactions are strongly suspected or confirmed, we have notified in advance that the reservation will be voided without prior notice," and "We will respond strongly in accordance with government policies such as the Fair Trade Commission and the Personal Information Commission."
"According to reports, there is also a method of cleverly editing and selling unopened seats as sales seats," he said, adding, "If you buy fraudulent tickets, you may end up buying tickets for seats that do not exist, so please do not buy them."
Bruno Mars' Korean concert "Hyundai Card Super Concert 6 Bruno Mars," which will be held from June 27 to 28, sold out all seats within 27 minutes of the start of pre-sales last month.
