In a frenzied rush, fans of the popular Chinese boyband TFBOYS scrambled to secure tickets for their upcoming concert in Xi'an. The ticket sales opened today and were accompanied by a strong real-name system, which aimed to prevent scalpers from purchasing tickets en masse and reselling them at exorbitant prices.

The excitement among fans was palpable as they turned to social media platforms like Weibo to share their experiences and seek help in securing tickets. Some netizens expressed frustration over the ticketing process, while others offered assistance or even suggested collecting tickets on behalf of those who were unable to attend.

One popular post among fans read: "Anyone who's pointed [at] them can get a ticket. Thousand paper cranes all up for grabs 🎫!!!! Don't worry about no one collecting !!!! Comment me if you're willing to take the risk of collecting tickets, so that the thousand paper cranes who don't go will boldly grab them !!!!

However, not everyone was thrilled with the ticket sales process. Some Weibo users expressed their dissatisfaction with the restrictions placed on ticket purchases. One user commented: "Let's guess how much the scalped tickets will go for ~ I'm guessing 100,000 a piece [I'm coming]."

Despite the challenges posed by the strong real-name system, fans remained determined to secure their spots at the concert. With more than 3.4 million people interested in attending and only a limited number of tickets available, it's no surprise that fans are willing to go to great lengths to see their favorite band live on stage.
