Chapter 141 Ticket Sales
"Ticket sales? It's almost time..."
Lin Yao nodded after hearing this. It was time to consider it. "But now the qualifiers have only decided the top 32. I'm afraid the popularity is not enough."
"Then we can try to release some tickets. After all, there are more than 10,000 seats, which should be enough, but some seats that are not so good may be difficult to sell. We can sell tickets in batches, which can not only mix these not-so-good seats in and then use the ticket shortage caused by batches to sell them, but also warm up the market."
Zhang Jianghu triggered the merchant's passive and came up with a bad idea.
"Preheating is fine, but mixing in is not recommended... Let's make it clear to the players."
Lin Yao thought about it and disagreed: "Ticket revenue is only a small part. I don't think Reflecta will care about it, right?"
"This... Since President Lin asked so, let's do as President Lin said."
Zhang Jianghu shook his head. He felt that sometimes Lin Yao was very decisive, but sometimes, she really didn't look like a businessman.
Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it this way. We'll release some tickets. We'll run some preheating ads on the client and at the event, and then we'll see how things go."
"Okay, I'll arrange for the ticketing company to contact you," Zhang Jianghu said.
The ticketing for offline competitions is outsourced.
It's not realistic to ask a graphics card company and a game studio to sell tickets.
The two agreed on this issue, and after chatting for a while, they hung up the phone. The
next day ,
the 32-to-16 competition was in full swing.
Linmu Studio added offline competition ads to the client and at the start of the competition, and opened a link, announcing that the first batch of offline viewing tickets would be officially sold in two days.
Regarding this ticket sale,
both Linmu Studio and Reflecta had reservations. Although online competitions were very popular, offline competitions, especially e-sports competitions of this scale, were the first time here.
No one dared to guarantee it.
The ticketing company was actually the first to undertake the ticket sales for e-sports events, and they had no experience. They just made a pre-sale page.
The rest was all up to Linmu Studio.
Faced with this situation, Lin Yao was actually not sure. After all, she had not done this before. In her previous life, CSGO was not popular in China. If it was League of Legends, she would dare to guarantee it, but she was not sure about "Breakout", so she held a meeting with the core staff of the studio.
In the end, everyone estimated that there would be no problem filling most of the more than 10,000 seats in the entire venue. Given the current popularity, there would definitely be spectators to join in the fun in the first game, and the scene would definitely not be ugly.
After reaching this conclusion,
Lin Yao was relieved and turned around to do her own thing.
But she was relieved.
The players were not sure...
"
The tickets will be sold soon."
Friend Qiu said in the "Play Black" channel.
"Well, do you want to join us?" Liang Dong asked while looking at the page where the offline game tickets were ready to be sold.
"Go, I think Team FEIREN and Team NO.1 will definitely make it to the finals, so I have to go and take a look. Besides, it's a competition organized by Linmu Studio, so how can I not be interested? CG games are so good, so the competition must be good."
Friend Qiu said excitedly.
"Yeah."
Liang Dong agreed with his friend and smiled, "It's a rare opportunity. It is estimated that after this competition, Linmu Studio will not hold such a competition in a short time. I must go and see it! Watching it online is exciting, and watching it offline is definitely more exciting!"
In fact, Liang Dong also participated in the competition, but was eliminated in the middle of the competition... There
is no way.
His talent is indeed not good enough, and he is a little old. In most cases, e-sports is still dominated by young people.
The type of "Breakout" is considered to have the least impact in terms of age.
But it still has an impact.
Although he lost the game, he was very unwilling at the time.
But it also stimulated Liang Dong's interest in watching the game. During this period, he played games and watched the game. Every time he saw those young players using extremely fast reactions and skills to fight several people, he would be in a trance.
He was actually young once...
So maybe out of some kind of compensatory mentality, he is really interested in the game now. Every time he sees an exciting game, his blood boils. At the same time, he also has a favorite team. In addition, there is a point that Lin Yao and other members of the studio may not have noticed for the time being - although the current Linmu Studio has only been established for half a year, it is really well-known among the player community. Whether it is games, technical strength or CG, it has opened the eyes of players.
This name has already formed a certain brand effect.
Players have begun to think that Linmu Studio is awesome in everything it does...
The same is true for offline competitions.
With all these factors added up, how could Liang Dong not go offline if he had the conditions.
"Then go grab a ticket later, grab a number for a seat together, and then go to Pengcheng together."
Hearing Liang Dong's words, his friend Qiu immediately said: "Let's play now, it's still early before the ticket opening time."
"You are bad and you still like to play." Liang Dong teased.
"Bullshit, how can I be bad."
The two cursed and started a game of blasting.
11:50.
A game is over.
"Sure enough, he's a loser." Liang Dong complained.
"Didn't we win? How come you're a loser?"
"That's all thanks to me."
"Yes, yes, thanks to Liang Dong, one of the top 512 contestants in the Breakout Challenge."
"Damn."
Liang Dong couldn't hold it anymore.
"Okay, it's almost twelve o'clock, and the tickets are about to be issued. I'll order takeout. Remember to call me when the tickets are issued." His friend Qiu couldn't help but laugh and stopped teasing his good friend.
Liang Dong replied: "Don't worry, ten thousand tickets will definitely be enough."
"We have to grab a good seat."
"Okay."
Liang Dong agreed, then looked at the time and felt that it was enough, so he opened "Fantasy OL" and prepared to meet the master.
Time passed slowly.
Soon.
It was fifty-nine minutes.
Liang Dong glanced at the time, but the last link of his master's door was about to be completed. He thought about it and felt that it was not too late to hand in the task, so he didn't rush, but ran to the master's door to hand in the task.
After handing in the task.
Time just came to twelve o'clock.
He switched to the web page and prepared to buy tickets.
"Here, here, why didn't you remind me, the time is up." The voice of his friend Qiu sounded at the same time.
"Didn't I just want to remind you? Don't worry, there are so many tickets, are you afraid that there will be no more?"
Liang Dong comforted him and clicked to refresh the page.
The page paused for half a second before loading.
Liang Dong was about to click the buy ticket button with his mouse.
But the next second,
he suddenly paused, looking at the words "sold out" on it, and fell into deep thought.
It seemed like... only forty seconds had passed?
The first batch was 2,500 tickets, right?
So... what does "sold out" mean?
At the same time,
his friend Qiu's voice could be heard, and he shouted in a broken voice: "Where's my ticket!?"
