The day before the "Midsummer Festival", the Bredlow Theater Company held a ticket sale for the first performance of "Titanic" at the Five Wine Kettle Hotel.

The long-awaited citizens of Askatla flocked to the hotel, blocking the lobby of the hotel, and Luo Feng had to temporarily change the location of the sale and move it to the street outside the hotel.

A small platform was temporarily built at the entrance of the hotel, Luo Feng and the team members stood on the platform, looking down, it was really a sea of people, and the crowd of people crowded next to each other actually filled the bridge, and it was roughly estimated that there were no less than thousands of people!

The original plan was to sell 1,000 tickets today, and three performances tomorrow, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.

On the one hand, a play has to be performed for three hours in a row, which is a severe test for the actors in terms of physical strength alone, and on the other hand, even if the illusionist Carla wears magic equipment that increases the spell bit all over his body, the illusion magic will not support the fourth scene.

There are thousands of people rushing to buy tickets, which means that the vast majority of people will not be able to buy tickets.

Moreover, Luo Feng looked at it and found that the people who squeezed to the front were all strong people, all of them had fierce faces, and their professions were almost all thieves, and they threatened other citizens viciously to drive away those who approached the platform and wanted to buy tickets.

This is obviously a bunch of scalpers!

Without thinking about it, Luo Feng could guess that it must be the merchants and nobles in the city who offered a reward for the tickets for the performance in the black market, maybe a ticket that was originally priced at 5 gold coins was hyped up to a sky-high price, if these scalpers were indulged, there would not be any civilians in the performance venue, and the tickets were all taken by rich businessmen and nobles.

This is not good, Luo Feng made a stage play to perform in order to complete the investigation task by brushing up the prestige value, if the reputation of the troupe can only be spread in the aristocratic circle, and the audience of "Titanic" is only rich, then the speed of influence diffusion will be greatly reduced.

After all, the rich are far fewer than the poor, and even in a money-oriented merchant capital like Am, the social structure is pyramidal, with the poor being the base of the pyramid.

Luo Feng frowned and thought for a while, took a step, and shouted at the crowd: "Citizens, thank you for your love, I feel very honored that so many people came to cheer!" ”

"Sell tickets, we've been waiting for a long time!"

"Stop talking nonsense and sell me all the tickets!"

"Yes, don't talk nonsense, we're here to buy tickets, not to listen to your ramblings."

……

The scalpers closest to the platform shouted, and some even secretly showed the shadow thief dagger, shaking the blade from afar to threaten Luo Feng. Most of these guys are disciples of the Shadow Thieves Guild, and they are extremely skilled in bullying and blackmailing, and they are very arrogant.

Luo Feng smiled slightly, pointed to the group of scalpers in the audience, and ordered the town guards in the Daqiao District who had already assembled: "Drive away the few people who shouted the most for me, drive them out of the Daqiao District, and don't allow them to approach before the end of the ticket sales meeting!" ”

The town guards pounced with spears in hand, set up the shadow thieves, and dragged them all away without saying a word.

After this period of running-in, the town guards of the bridge district already knew who was the boss of the district, and the captain of the guard in the bridge district had a quarrel with Bredrow over the transfer of guards to guard the theater, and as a result, the city hall ordered the next day to be dismissed on the spot on the grounds that the captain of the guard could not solve the skinning case.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the inability to solve the case is just an excuse, the skinning case has been pending for more than a month, and the captain of the garrison is not in a stable position?

Less than a day after he had an argument with Bredero, he was sent home, and the twists and turns were clear at a glance.

In the eyes of the Bridge District Amber guards, Bredrow is the real captain of the bridge area, and he speaks much more effectively than the newly appointed substitute captain.

"Okay, your name is Bredero, I remember you!"

One of the leading scalpers shouted viciously as he was dragged away: "You have offended someone who should not be offended, and sooner or later one day you will kneel down and beg me to forgive you!" ”

Luo Feng squinted his eyes, keeping that person's appearance firmly in his heart, and said in his heart that you are the one who offended and should not be offended, even if you kneel down and beg me one day, I will not forgive you!

Ignoring the barking of the defeated dog, Luo Feng said loudly to the people gathered in the audience: "Tomorrow, our troupe can only perform three performances, which is already the limit of the actors and the creative team behind the scenes, and only a thousand tickets can be sold at most today, which is far from meeting the needs of the citizens who want to buy tickets present." ”

The people exchanged their heads and ears, and the mixed voices of discussion rang out in a low voice.

They had no hope of buying tickets, and the front row was surrounded by the Amm Shadow Thieves, who as soon as the troupe began selling tickets, they immediately paid for the tickets and sold them on the black market to make a lot of money.

However, things took a turn for the worse, and the great performer Bredrow was not afraid of the threat of the Shadow Thieves at all, so the Amber guards drove the Shadow Thieves away.

They were eagerly awaiting to hear what Bredero had to say next.

"So, I decided to thank you for your kindness, to make Midsummer more fun, and to celebrate the first performance of the Bredrow Theatre Company, tomorrow's performance will be free of charge, and we will no longer sell tickets, but in the form of free tickets, and give tickets to everyone for free!"

"Wow! It was given away for nothing! ”

"Braderow the Great Performer is such a good guy!"

"Complimentary tickets, that means I might get tickets too?"

"A ticket in the black market has been fried for 100 gold coins, and it was given away for nothing!"

……

The citizens gathered in the audience were in an uproar when they heard this.

"There are two ways to give away tickets."

Luo Feng explained to the crowd with a smile: "The first is that couples exchange kisses for tickets, and any unmarried young couple who is over 18 years old and comes to the stage to kiss in public can get two tickets for free." ”

With the midsummer festival approaching and the citizens not as restrained as before, such a bold public kiss is not unorthodox, and dozens of couples immediately signed up.

Soon more than 100 tickets were given away, and in order to prevent these tickets from being stolen or snatched by the shadow thieves, Luo Feng publicly announced that if the couple who came with the tickets tomorrow was not himself, the tickets would be invalid.

"The second way is to give away tickets by lottery."

After completing the couple's ticket giveaway, Luo Feng continued to announce: "We will issue ticket stubs with numbers to every citizen present, please bring the ticket stubs to the venue during tomorrow's performance, we will announce the winning numbers on the spot, and the winning citizens can enter with tickets." ”

The citizens thought about it carefully, and felt that this method was very interesting and fair, and they got the number ticket, and only before the opening did they know if they had won the lottery, even if the shadow thieves wanted to grab it, they might not necessarily get the winning ticket.

Wealthy people who want to buy tickets and buy lottery tickets are likely to just buy a bunch of invalid numbers.

Although it is not completely possible to avoid the rich people spending a lot of money to get the winning tickets, it can be regarded as ensuring that a considerable number of ordinary citizens can get the opportunity to enter the stage play.
