Scalpers Resell $150 Concert Tickets for Up to $3,800: Inside the Shocking Black Market

Scalpers have been caught reselling concert tickets, originally priced at $150, for as much as $3,800.

On November 4th at 8:30 PM, MBC Every1's 'Hidden Eye' will delve into the organized black market of concert ticket scalping.

In the segment 'Kwon Il-yong's Crime Rules,' the show uncovers a scalping operation reselling idol concert tickets at up to 25 times their original price. The group, targeting popular acts like G-Dragon, Seventeen, and Blackpink, amassed a staggering $5.3 million in profits by securing and reselling large quantities of tickets.

Tensions rose unexpectedly when a buyer suddenly changed their stance during a transaction. The episode promises to shed light on the organized structure and methods behind this illicit trade.

The episode will feature special guest Han Seung-yeon, a former member of KARA. A fan of 'Hidden Eye,' Han expressed her excitement, saying, "It feels like I'm inside the TV," and actively participated throughout the filming.

Additionally, the show will highlight a fatal accident on the highway, where a 60kg truck tire crashed through a bus windshield, leading to the driver's tragic death. Han Seung-yeon was left speechless, stating, "How could anyone avoid that?" Kim Dong-hyun described it as "a bolt from the blue." The episode will also analyze the causes of such recurring accidents.

'Hidden Eye' airs on November 4th at 8:30 PM on MBC Every1.
