Fan Zhendong ticket sales spark frenzy as fans praise low prices in Germany
Tickets to watch Fan Zhendong sold out within 24 hours, as fans in China praised the low prices.
Fan recently signed for 1. FC Saarbrücken, with the German club's popularity soaring overnight.
The Bundesliga side had expected season tickets to take weeks to sell – instead, they were snapped up within a day.
The tickets – ranging from €100 (US$115.25) to €800 – cover all Saarbrücken home matches in the Table Tennis Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League, leaving many mainland Chinese fans in awe of the pricing.
'€800 for a VIP pass with the best seats and access from August to June … the price is too good,' one user wrote on social media.
