"Then forget it."

"It's too expensive. It's too expensive. If I don't go, I won't go."

"I'd better go to school first."

"..."

Almost at the same time, Harry Kane, Neymar, and Rashford, three children who wanted to go to Zhou Yi's concert to see the world, decisively chose to give up after hearing from relatives and friends that the price was too high for them to afford.

Three days ago, they felt that the price of scalper tickets was artificially high and might drop. Now they regret it and want to have their legs broken.

This is probably because this is Zhou Yi's first concert in London since his debut. Not only people from London and the UK, but also people from nearby countries flew here just to watch Zhou Yi's concert.

This group of people even bought two tickets in a row——

I bought all the two concerts on July 2nd and 3rd.

Everyone knows that Zhou Yi will be busy with the album and the Olympics next. Maybe this will be Spike's only concert in the UK this year. The scarcity has caused prices to rise in the secondary market, resulting in the current situation. of formation.

"What a pity, it would have been as much as the ticket price for Arsenal's season finale."

Qianjiang, who has been busy with the concert arrangements, looked very regretful.

In Arsenal's last few games half a month ago, due to the team's outstanding record, tickets for good seats were directly sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds each, and even standing tickets cost more than 100 or 200. Pound hard work.

If possible, he would also like to benchmark this scalper price.

The carefree Zhou Yi gnawed on the pear and mercilessly shattered his agent's fantasy: "Stop dreaming. This price is already an unexpected surprise, right?"

"Arsenal Club is crazy happy. Do you know how much they have increased their expected revenue for the two days of your concert? A full 2 ​​million pounds!"

Qian Jiang raised three fingers and approached mysteriously.

As a club with the most expensive tickets in the Premier League and one of the most expensive snack prices, Arsenal's Highbury Stadium has always been known for "ripoffs".

People have to eat, right?

You have to buy something small as a souvenir, right?

A few dozen pounds were spent casually in Highbury.

You must know that Zhou Yi’s concert is held at 7:30 in the evening. At this time, some people have not eaten yet, some people still want to eat midnight snacks after the concert is over, and some people are so eager to come that they are here. , and do some shopping in the Highbury store.

This is all money!

Not to mention the surrounding hotels, accommodation, meals and massages.

After earning this series of income, I don’t blame others for not being jealous.

Especially Liverpool, who have no money.

"Now other cities are contacting me like crazy, wanting you to hold concerts to bring in revenue. Especially Liverpool, their Anfield stadium can open its doors to you at any time during the off-season."

Qian Jiang shook his head, looking quite proud.

Equally proud is the Arsenal Club's commercial development department.

According to their estimates, Zhou Yi's two concerts are expected to be attended by more than 110,000 people, which will bring additional income of about 8-10 million pounds to Arsenal.

This made many people jealous.

Especially that noisy neighbor, Arsenal's rivals in North London: Tottenham Hotspur.

The day after the news broke, Tottenham Hotspur reporter Matthew Morrison immediately issued an article refuting Arsenal's exaggeration -

"Fake News!"

The title is concise and to the point.

Originally this year, they were stomped on by their archrival Arsenal, and watching them ascend to the throne in front of their own home court, and seeing the extra income brought by Zhou Yi, it felt even worse than killing them.

But the Financial Times, which followed closely, dedicated a page to combine all the news released by Warner and Arsenal officials and speculated on the relevant income, which was very different from the rumors——

“More than 36,000 tickets were sold out in three days, and the 20,000 replacement tickets were sold out in one day.

"Currently, Warner has announced that it has ended the sale of tickets for the first Spike concert on July 2, with a total of 56,326 tickets. It also announced that it will start pre-sale of tickets for the second concert a week later, with the same number as the first.

"Based on the average ticket price of 120 pounds, Spike's single box office is 6,759,120 yuan. The total box office of the two games is expected to exceed 13 million pounds, setting a new record for single concert box office in the UK since the new century..."

Considering the authority of the Financial Times in this regard, this number seems somewhat horrifying.

A Chinese person's concert box office record has become a record that British singers in the new century can't match!

The well-known media in Liverpool, UK, "Liverpool Echo" even directly pulled out Madonna not long ago as a comparison——

Madonna's current concert tour has a peak box office of just over 4.7 million US dollars.

For a moment, the reporters who had been urging Zhou Yi not to be so arrogant fell into a rare silence.

If the album is a display of the singer's personal strength, then the concert is a reflection of the singer's commercial value.

If you have many fans who are loyal and have great spending power, your commercial value will be great, and concerts are exactly such a channel for fans to spend money to support their idols.

What is even more valuable is that Zhouyi came from overseas.

He's not fucking British!

The Guardian: "The Invasion of Popular Culture"

"Daily Mirror": "The darkest day in British music history"

"The Sun": "Spike is suspected of being in love with a French actress"

"The Independent": "This is the tragedy of the British music scene"

"...": "..."

Among the major British newspapers, only The Sun remained true to its original aspiration and secretly photographed Zhou Yi chatting with Eva Green in the training base from time to time.

It can be called a breath of fresh air.

On the 16th, during an exclusive interview with the BBC, Zhou Yi was also asked relevant questions by reporters——

"Spike, I heard that you mobilized a lot of people for your concert this time, and it has set a record for the number of people attending a single concert in the UK since the new century. Is this true? You know, that's what people are saying now."

"It's just over 50,000 people. Is more than 50,000 people a lot? I don't think it's much at all, not much."

Zhou Yi shook his head repeatedly: "Really, it's only fifty thousand, not much."

Just kidding, my friend has held a real concert with 80,000 people, so this is nothing.

The choked BBC reporter asked further: "Are you saying that this is something you can do easily? Is this just a trivial matter?"

"That's right. These more than 50,000 people are a trivial matter to me - well, forget it, I can't say it's a trivial thing. It would seem like I'm too crazy, and I'll get a lot of scolding."

After taking back what he just said, Zhou Yi moved his buttocks sitting on the sofa, raised his chin, and said firmly: "I think it means something."

reporter:"……"

host:"……"

You might as well be saying it's so fucking trivial!

"What a stinking man."

"I didn't expect him to be such a singer."

"nausea!"

"..."

In North London, at a Tottenham fan gathering, 1 Adkins raised his middle finger at the arrogant guy on the TV as the fans around him yelled!

"Shut up! You stupid pig!"

She is a die-hard Tottenham fan and a bitter rival of Arsenal.
