JAKARTA - The Indonesian Consumer Foundation (YLKI) responded to the widespread victims of the Coldplay band music concert titled Music of the Spheres World Tour Jakarta at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (GBK) which was held on Wednesday, November 16 night. The concert was shocked by the rise of ticket fraud.
To note, behind the euphoria of Coldplay concerts that shocked social media, there were tears of the victims who failed to witness the appearance of their idol because they were tricked by ticket brokers and failed to scan the barcode on the official concert ticket.
According to YLKI Chairman Tulus Abadi, this ticket broker fraud case must receive follow-up and settlement at the court.
Tulus assessed that the event organizers must also be responsible for overseeing this case. Moreover, related to the problem of scanning the ticket barcode that should have been anticipated beforehand.
"If the fraud is a criminal realm, yes. If it is a crime, the police should shrink, who is the culprit. Hopefully it can be returned. However, is there a mistake from the committee or the organizers must also be responsible," said Tulus, Thursday, November 17.
"Why (the committee or organizer) has no attempt to protect the ticket so that it cannot be faked. There should be certain technology to anticipate this forgery, because it must be a phenomenon of fraud when this music concert is currently there. It should be anticipated," he said.
Moreover, the ticket price for the Coldplay concert released by the promoter of the PK Entertainment concert is quite expensive.
Naturally, the victims demanded clarity of their fate. The ticket price for the world's famous band concert provided for more than 50,000 tickets is set from Rp. 800,000 to Rp. 11 million per person.
