Malaysians cheer as government tackles ticket touts
Malaysian lawmakers are seeking to criminalise ticket 'scalping' for big-name concerts, which has seen an eye-watering US$940 quoted per ticket for a coming My Chemical Romance gig. Scalping – or hoarding limited tickets only to resell them at exorbitant prices as demand spikes – has long plagued Malaysian music lovers hungry for live performances by the few international artists that add Kuala Lumpur to their tours. Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said the government was aware of the problem, pointing to the recent concert by K-pop artist G-Dragon last month, when scalpers were reportedly asking for up to 20,000 ringgit (US$4,700) per ticket. 'One possible solution would be to create a specific law that will hold scalpers to account,' Teo was quoted as saying on Sunday by national newswire Bernama. 'The communications ministry has also engaged with event organisers and ticketing companies to find the most suitable solution to this issue.' A fan holds a sign for Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance during the band's opening night on July 11 in Seattle.

12 arrested in Hong Kong-Shenzhen joint operation targeting suspected fake concert tickets
Hong Kong and Shenzhen authorities have arrested a total of 12 people in a joint operation targeting the manufacturing and sale of suspected fake concert tickets. More than 400 high-quality counterfeit or half-finished fake concert tickets were seized by Hong Kong and Shenzhen police in a recent crackdown on a cross-border syndicate, the city's police force said at a press conference on Sunday. Four men, aged between 24 and 39, were apprehended in Shenzhen, including a Hong Kong man who mainly resides in mainland China and is said to be the mastermind of the syndicate. During the raid in Shenzhen, local authorities seized suspected counterfeit tickets for ongoing and upcoming events, printing machines, invisible ink, cutters, envelopes, and other equipment used to produce the suspected fake tickets. In Hong Kong, seven men and one woman, aged 19 to 65, were arrested for offences including conspiracy to defraud, possession of false documents, obtaining money by deception, and money laundering. They were linked to at least 16 cases of fake concert tickets, with total estimated losses exceeding HK$100,000. Local media reported that the tickets included the concert of South Korean pop star Kwon Ji-yong, also known as G-Dragon. Police said last week that his fans were scammed out of more than HK$610,000 worth of fake tickets to his sold-out Hong Kong concerts. Police said the seized tickets were highly convincing, with the font, anti-counterfeit features, and paper quality closely resembling those of genuine tickets. However, there were minor flaws that could be spotted with the naked eye, for example, differences in the wording of the English terms and conditions, as well as variations in the placement of punctuation marks in the Chinese text. In June, eight people were arrested for allegedly selling high-quality counterfeit tickets to concerts by Cantopop star Nicholas Tse, Taiwanese singer Jay Chou, and four other musicians. The eight suspects were part of a cross-border syndicate involved in at least 40 suspected scams, according to local media, with total losses estimated at around HK$650,000.

12 arrested for allegedly selling fake G-Dragon, G.E.M. concert tickets in Hong Kong
Hong Kong and Shenzhen police have broken up a cross-border syndicate and arrested 12 people for allegedly scamming victims out of more than HK$100,000 (US$12,740) with fake tickets to local shows featuring performers such as K-pop star G-Dragon and Cantopop singer G.E.M.. The force said on Sunday that joint operations with Shenzhen police had dismantled a syndicate that operated a workshop to produce fake tickets for concerts and sports events in the neighbouring Chinese city. Errand runners in Hong Kong were used to deliver tickets to victims. 'The tickets we intercepted are highly similar to real ones in terms of font, counter-counterfeiting features, and materials,' said Superintendent Wan King-hang of the Kowloon East regional headquarters' crime division. 'Residents might easily fall into such fake ticket traps.' The arrests were made between Tuesday and Saturday for events from June to August, including G-Dragon's three sell-out concerts at AsiaWorld-Arena and coming shows by singer Gloria Tang Tsz-kei, also known as G.E.M., at the Kai Tak Stadium starting this Friday, police said. Across the border, four people, including three Hongkongers and one mainlander, were arrested by Shenzhen police for fabricating value-bearing coupons, an offence punishable by imprisonment of up to seven years upon conviction in mainland China.
