Chapter 373 Audience seats, tickets are too expensive
Any game that is popular among people can easily be of a gambling nature. For example, when watching a football game, the audience can buy which team will win.
The same is true for boxing matches. Not only can you bet on the outcome, but you can also cheer for the boxers you support and sponsor and reward them.
However, considering that this is not a formal and legal official boxing match, it does not have a strict bookmaker like a casino. Audiences who want to bet can negotiate privately, set their own bets, and do what they can.
If the organizer is opening the market to be a banker, it is likely to cause trouble. Once the government receives the report, it may be shut down.
So how do organizers make money? There are mainly the following ways.
First, the high-priced admission tickets are more expensive than the tickets for celebrity concerts.
Second, when conducting online live broadcasts, you can also make videos into the database, and usually you need to pay to watch them in full.
Thirdly, whether it is live or live broadcast, there will be sponsorship and rewards from boxing fans, and the organizer and the boxers will share in half, which can also make a lot of money.
In terms of the ability to attract money, underground boxing venues that can hold matches every day are no worse than legal casinos, and there is no need to pay taxes.
The underground boxing ring in Baoshuling is said to have a large backstage and has been open for more than ten years. It can be said to be the most famous underground boxing ring in the imperial capital. The quality of competitions is very high. Ancient warriors with an inch-level strength emerge in an endless stream. Occasionally, they still have inner strength.
Celebrities appeared, so it became very popular.
In order to recruit ancient warriors, some big families often send people to this place to watch boxing matches while looking for suitable candidates. As long as the other party is willing and the price can be negotiated, the boxer can change his career to be a bodyguard.
This dilapidated basketball stadium is lifeless during the day, but it is brightly lit at night, and there are all kinds of good cars parked outside. It is obvious that the spectators who come here have a certain financial foundation.
This is also true, because admission tickets are very expensive, and most ordinary working-class people cannot afford it. They can only come to experience it, and they are unlikely to frequent it frequently.
Ticket pricing is different for different audience seats, and is divided into three levels: high, middle and low.
The high-end VIP seats are at the front, with a good view, close distance, and the clearest and most enjoyable view. They have independent tables and chairs, as well as fruits, snacks, drinks, etc., but the charges are also the most expensive. They are not calculated per person, but
The charge is per table, 80,000 yuan per table, which is higher than the price of presidential suites in some five-star hotels.
Ordinary seats are in the middle and back rows, which are the original spectator seats in the stadium. They are not comfortable at all. The price varies slightly depending on how far forward you are. It starts at about 2,000 yuan and below 5,000 yuan. It is charged according to the seat, per person.
One.
The worst thing is the standing ticket, which costs 1,000 yuan per ticket. There are no seats and you can only stand. Standing tickets will only be sold when the regular seats are full.
Ouyang Ting and the others naturally bought VIP tickets, and were escorted in by someone who was responsible for arranging seats and serving drinks and food.
The venue space inside is not large. It is a small basketball stadium. It could originally accommodate thousands of people. However, after certain renovations, some seats were removed and the rectangular venue was expanded into a square. As a result, the current number of seats will not be
More than a thousand.
There is a very conspicuous large square iron cage in the middle of the stadium, with a length and width of 12 meters and a height of about 6 meters. The ground is covered with a layer of dark gray high-strength hard material, and the surrounding area is surrounded by alloy wire mesh.
This kind of alloy wire mesh is thinner than chopsticks, but it is very tough and cannot be destroyed even by dark masters, and the gap is large enough to not block the audience's sight at all.
The basketball racks at both ends have long since disappeared, the rows of spectator seats closer to the sides have also been removed, and the rectangular field has been changed into a square.
A few meters away around the ring, there are many scattered tables and chairs, about thirty or so tables. This is the so-called front row VIP area.
The table is small, much like the small round table used in bars. It can only sit around four or five people at most, and usually two or three people are most suitable.
Several meters behind the VIP seats are the ordinary audience seats, which are in the form of a common ladder. The seats in the back are higher.
But even the front row is a little far away from the ring, about ten meters away, and the viewing experience is obviously not as good as the VIP seats in front.
When Ye Xingyu and the others came, the venue was already bustling with people and bustling. Both the VIP seats and the ordinary seats were almost full. Although no one was making a loud noise, even hundreds of people were whispering together.
, it is also enough to create an extremely noisy sound wave, buzzing and buzzing all the time.
The fight has not started yet, and there is no one in the big cage in the middle. When the boxing match officially begins, the normal voices will turn into boiling cheers and shouts.
As soon as Jiang Xu sat down, he asked the waiter who was leading the way: "How long until the fight starts?"
The waiter replied: "The first show has just ended, and the second show is being prepared."
According to the rules here, the venue opens on time at eight o'clock in the evening, but the first boxing match does not start until eight-thirty, and the next one at nine o'clock.
By analogy, a game is played every half hour, and there will be a total of five games played in one night. The last game is at 10:30, and it is guaranteed to be over before 11 o'clock.
This kind of boxing match held by ancient warriors has no intermission. Once in the cage, the winner must be decided before it stops. However, because the physical strength cannot last, the fight can only last for a few minutes at most.
For those with a large gap in strength, it only takes tens of seconds or even a few seconds for the battle to end, and the rest is preparation time to brew the audience's emotions.
The time now is past half past eight, but not yet nine o'clock, so it's normal that we just finished a game.
Jiang Xu chattered to Ye Xingyu, which was actually not very nutritious but mostly nonsense. However, Ouyang Ting remained silent and just half-leaned on the chair lazily, squinting her eyes and not knowing what she was thinking.
However, some guests at the VIP table came over to greet Ouyang Ting and exchanged casual greetings. They all knew the second young lady of the Ouyang family.
In fact, Ouyang Ting also has a twin sister. They look exactly the same. It's hard to tell who is who just based on their faces and figures. However, their dressing styles are very different. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that this is Ouyang Ting, not Ouyang Jing.
.
As for Jiang Xu, he was a playboy with no real power and a worrying status. His treatment was much worse, and few people paid attention to him.
This is not as good as Ye Xingyu. At least Ye Xingyu has been in the limelight recently. He made a name for himself by fighting with Ji Changxian. He is a hot Tai Chi rookie. And he dares to offend Yan Shaoze and Huo Qingshu and is still alive and well. This is
One has to admire it.
So a few people chatted with Ye Xingyu, almost all of them were celebrities whom they had met after the last duel at the Rain Watching Platform, and their intention to make friends was obvious.
