Fans fume as Jay Chou concert ticket counter opens -- and staff say tics sold out - this is ridiculous!

The sistic site was jammed for the 2008 concert but I still managed to secure a pair of tickets at night. The 2004 concert, I wasn't the one who bought the tickets so I dunno how crazy it was then. But definitely not as bad as now. It just gets worse.

What is the point of commencing sales at 9am for more box offices when even the first person in the queue can't get the tickets?

The sistic website only allowed me to get as far as the seats availability page where surprisingly all the pricing categories were BLACK (meaning available) but when I tried to submit after choosing the price range, I received an error message. And this happened multiple times before the site died on me. And also, I suspect quite a number of people got tix via whatever connections they have with the sponsors, media etc...so meaning the actual number of tickets that went on sale to the public could have been largely reduced.

One netizen suggested a pretty good idea, what about holding the concert at the National Stadium instead? More seats available...and since Mayday has done it, why not Jay? And Jay has held concert at outdoor stadiums in Taiwan.

He might as well not come, so stressful. If I have the time, I'd prefer going taipei to watch his concert. Yeah but too bad, now leave embargo till after June :(
