The highest ticket price of Evergrande AFC Champions League final is 39,000 yuan, which is expected to exceed 100 million yuan to set a new record in China.

Remember two years ago, the second round of the AFC Champions League final was called a "local gold" ticket of 8,000 yuan by netizens? Two years later, if you want to witness Evergrande’s second AFC Champions League final in tianhe sports center, the highest ticket cost is 39,000 yuan.

On November 10th, Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Football Club announced on the official website the ticketing scheme for the second leg of AFC Champions League final between home and Al Ahli, United Arab Emirates-the ticket price is divided into 8 grades, with the minimum 600 yuan (a small amount), and the VVIP tickets are limited to 10 tickets, each of which is 39,000 yuan.

Box office revenue is expected to exceed 100 million yuan?

According to the information published by Evergrande on the official website, the ticket prices of this competition are: 600 yuan (a small amount), 1,500 yuan, 3,000 yuan, 4,000 yuan, 6,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, 18,000 yuan (VIP) and 39,000 yuan (VVIP, limited to 10 tickets). At the same time, the official of Evergrande has not yet announced the time of ticket purchase.

Looking back at the ticket prices of the second round of the AFC Champions League final in 2013 and Seoul FC, the ticket prices at that time were 400 yuan, 600 yuan, 1000 yuan, 1500 yuan, 2000 yuan, 3000 yuan, 5000 yuan and 8000 yuan respectively.

In contrast, the ticket price for this year’s AFC Champions League final is basically double that at that time. According to the data released by Evergrande two years ago, the box office revenue of that game is not less than 55 million yuan, which means that it is not surprising that the box office revenue of this year’s AFC Champions League final is expected to exceed 100 million yuan.

Previously, according to public information, the Italian Super Cup Milan Derby in the Bird’s Nest in 2009 earned 70 million yuan at the box office, which set the highest box office record for professional football leagues and commercial competitions in China. The box office record of the football match held in China will be rewritten by Guangzhou Evergrande on November 21st this year, if there are no accidents.

What is the fare level of AFC Champions League final?

What is the fare level of AFC Champions League final? Compared with Al Ahli in the first round, the ticket price of that game was unified to 100 dirhams (about 170 yuan). The cheapest ticket for the second round is more than three times that for the first round.

Compared with Evergrande itself, the most expensive package of Evergrande Super League this year is 2,500 yuan, and the cost of each game is less than that of 170 yuan. The last match with Luneng, which is related to the champion, is the most expensive ticket price for public sale only in 500 yuan. For the AFC Champions League semi-final home match with Gamba Osaka, the ticket prices of each class are: 300 yuan, 500 yuan, 600 yuan, 800 yuan, 1200 yuan, VIP2000 yuan. In contrast, the price of tickets for the AFC Champions League finals has been greatly increased.

"For local fans, this fare is a bit expensive." A person in charge of the Guangzhou Nanyue Fans’ Association told the The Paper that the Evergrande will set a separate fare for fans who buy season packages. "I remember that the lowest fare 400 yuan was publicly sold two years ago, and the fare of the fans’ association was 350 yuan; According to the lowest price in 600 yuan this year, I guess the ticket price of the fan club is around 500 yuan. This price is not expensive for fans who have jobs. For students, it is expensive. Our fans will have 1,600 people, of which the proportion of students is about 50%, and the proportion of students in other fan clubs is also very high. "

"Remind those who want to buy tickets again, and buy them as early as possible. If you wait until the scalpers have swept away the tickets, then I’m sorry. According to the market in Guangzhou, you can buy back the tickets at that price at least three times. " Roque, a local media person, suggested to fans at the Weibo, "In a market economy, Evergrande has the right to raise fares, and you also have the right to choose not to watch."

Evergrande’s fare increase is emboldened, and 70% of fans are too expensive.

Why does Evergrande have such confidence to raise prices? Let’s sort out Evergrande’s past behavior style. From sky-high signings to huge bonuses, Evergrande has always had the habit of creating sensational effects. This ticket price itself will raise the attention of the AFC Champions League final to a higher level, and at the same time, if the unexpected box office income exceeds 100 million yuan, it can be an example of Evergrande’s commercial success.

Secondly, Evergrande itself has enough confidence to raise the price. In the eyes of many sports industry experts, Evergrande itself is the most successful brand of professional sports in China, and the AFC Champions League is also the top competition resource in Asia. Arriving at the stage of AFC Champions League final is the best time to release its own brand effect.

At the same time, Evergrande is not worried that no one will "pay the bill". After five years’ cultivation, the football market in China has become the most concerned domestic competition. The media copyright of the Super League will be sold for 8 billion yuan in the next five years, which is a great proof. "Two years ago, the AFC Champions League final was full, which gave Evergrande confidence. I remember that the tickets for the match in 400 yuan were fired to 3,000 yuan, and no one was worried about buying tickets. In addition to local fans in Guangzhou, it can be expected that a large number of fans from all over the country will come to Guangzhou. " An insider who has been observing Guangzhou football for a long time told the The Paper reporter, "Even if the sky-high ticket is 39,000 yuan, things are rare and expensive. Whoever can get it is a huge face, only someone will grab it, and there will be no fear that no one will want it."

In addition, Evergrande Taobao has just been listed on the New Third Board, and the record box office will also add more benefits to the first share of this football.

After the ticketing scheme was announced, a portal website immediately conducted a public opinion survey. After an hour or so, the data showed that about 70% of the fans thought the ticket price was expensive. However, there are still 25% fans who choose to "go to the scene to watch the ball no matter how much they spend".

Some people calmly commented, "This is the market and this is the strength. Evergrande Taobao has spent a lot of money and made achievements. It is not easy to bring so much joy to everyone. If a private team loses money every year, no matter how much money it has, it is not necessarily a good thing to support Evergrande."

A large number of misdemeanor people can’t integrate into the society normally, and the industry calls for the establishment of a system to eliminate misdemeanor criminal record.

  After boarding the video program, Yu Yang received a lot of abuse. He said that he had been psychologically prepared. "I don’t want to complain, complaining is useless, just want to remind others with my story."

  On November 9, Yu Yang was interviewed by a network program. Facing the camera, he threw out a question: "How high is the crime cost now?" — — It is only the most basic thing to fail to pass the exam, and the restriction of job opportunities is the most direct and obvious price.

  With Yu Yang’s experience, because he was sentenced to 10 months’ imprisonment nine years ago for a misdemeanor, he couldn’t engage in regular work such as take-away, express delivery, security, etc., and he couldn’t do heavy work on the construction site with diabetes, so he could only rely on some positions that managed to loosen up and set up stalls to sell cotton socks. Even so, compared with other people in the same position, Yu Yang earned a lower income. His colleagues got eight or nine thousand yuan a month, and he was only around 4 thousand yuan. "Do you think I can feel uncomfortable?"

  Xiao Shengfang, deputy to the 13th National People’s Congress and president of Guangdong Lawyers Association, has long noticed this problem. In 2021 and 2022, he submitted the "Proposal on Adding the System of Eliminating Offenders before Minor Offences in China’s Criminal Law" twice. Xiao Shengfang pointed out that according to the Supreme People’s Court’s work reports over the years, the average number of criminals sentenced to punishment in the Supreme People’s Court in the past five years is as high as 1.2 million. If such a large number of people cannot integrate into society normally, "this will undoubtedly hinder the construction of a harmonious society in China".

  very poor

  "Being fired more than a dozen times a year"

  How difficult is it for ex-cons to find jobs? Yu Yang cited his own experience in the past year as an example. August 2 this year: He went to Beijing to interview for a job on a shopping platform, and was rejected because of his criminal record; On September 1, he went to a food factory to work as an hourly worker. After a day’s work, he was dismissed by the leader. The daily salary of 160 yuan was normal, and Yu Yang only received 100 yuan.

  Being fired and rejected, Yu Yang said that he was used to it. "I was fired more than a dozen times a year." In his view, the public generally has limited awareness of the possible impact of criminal records. In fact, most ordinary jobs do not accept people with criminal records, except for security guards, teachers and civil servants, who have clearly stipulated that former criminals are not allowed to engage in them. "As long as enterprises do the opposite, they will be able to find out."

  As a senior "North drift", Yu Yang is familiar with the job market in Beijing. After graduating from junior high school in 2007, he went to work in Beijing from his hometown in the northeast. At that time, there were many opportunities, such as security guards at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital. "In 2012, there were 3,000 yuan a month and food subsidies."

  But after the criminal record, everything changed. In the first two years after he was released from prison, although the basic salary was not high, Yu Yang could still find a way to make money. At that time, take-out and delivery in the same city were growing rapidly. Until around 2017, these industries began to tighten the employment standards, and "no criminal record certificate" became a hurdle in front of him.

  In 2019, when he returned to Beijing to work again, Yu Yang heard that the security salary of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital rose to 4,000 yuan, and the monthly meal supplement also rose to 800 yuan. However, this job has nothing to do with him. He can only choose individual security posts with loose management, with a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan and daily meal supplement for 8 yuan.

  Yu Yang has made a lot of efforts in recent years. He has been to Hainan, Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and found that no matter where he is, the requirements for "proof of no criminal record" are equally strict. He tried to work as a group performer on the construction site, but because of diabetes, he couldn’t do the heavy work on the construction site. When working as a group performer, he could only be engaged in the lowest level, and the crew with a better treatment required an actor’s license, while obtaining an actor’s license required proof of no criminal record.

  There are still two roads before Yu Yang. Do some small business by yourself or find a self-employed boss to do odd jobs. The former road, tried by Yu Yang, failed, and lost tens of thousands of venture capital. The latter road, which Yu Yang groped for for a long time, finally ushered in a turning point recently — — A self-employed boss is willing to give him the opportunity to make Yu Yang have a stable income for the time being.

  commit a crime

  Life-changing 100 yuan

  Yu Yang is not shy about his own criminal facts. That was in 2014, Yu Yang and a friend organized more than a dozen people to donate blood, and extracted the introduction fee from the nutritional subsidy for blood donation.

  The Beijing News once reported this case. In June 2014, after Yu Yang lost his job, he learned that a community was going to organize voluntary blood donation, so he discussed with the "community manager" that he would organize people who wanted to donate blood and the other party would give him subsidies. After that, Yu Yang began to look for blood donors and discussed with friends how to get the money back and how to divide the accounts — — For this blood donation, the subsidy is 500 yuan for each blood donor. After blood donation, Yu Yang takes 50 yuan, and the rest is drawn by the introducer. In the end, it is only two or three hundred yuan in the hands of the blood donors. The public prosecution agency believes that the criminal responsibility of Yu Yang and others should be investigated for the crime of illegal organization selling blood.

  Yu Yang told reporters that at that time, he didn’t realize that his behavior violated the law. "He earned 50 yuan for one person, a total of 100 yuan." In his view, he donated blood through formal communities and blood collection institutions. Until he went to court, Yu Yang realized that the problem lay in the extraction of referral fees. "I didn’t know at the time. I have committed a crime and I believe that I should bear the consequences. "

  However, he did not expect that the 10-month fixed-term imprisonment was only the beginning of "atonement". After the end of the sentence, the influence brought by the criminal record gradually appeared, and Yu Yang lost many normal employment opportunities.

  After being interviewed by online programs, Yu Yang received many messages. Some netizens said that they have no criminal record and can only earn about 3,500 yuan a month, refuting Yu Yang’s "affectation". Yu Yang tried to respond to these remarks one by one: "Their 3,500 yuan is in their hometown or third-and fourth-tier cities, and they still have the opportunity to earn 6,000 yuan, 7,000 yuan and 8,000 yuan, but 3,500 yuan is the upper limit that I can only reach no matter how hard I work in Beijing. This is the difference."

  caution

  With the cost of a lifetime

  On the program, Yu Yang didn’t cover up or deal with his appearance and voice, and faced the camera directly. Yu Yang told reporters that in fact, the program group has repeatedly suggested to him that it is best to code, etc., but he refused. "Just ask for a truth and scold me."

  In the program, Yu Yang focused on the cost of crime. He said that he hoped to warn more people through his own story and not to violate the legal red line.

  As a former criminal, he understands the "prejudice" of the public and employers. "Will you let a criminal send you a takeaway or express delivery? Do you feel safe when the security guard at your gate has a criminal record? " But on the other hand, he hopes that society can give those ex-prisoners who want to turn over a new leaf a chance.

  Yu Yang’s experience is not an isolated case. In July, 2022, the Supreme People’s Court disclosed a set of data: from 2013 to 2022, serious violent crimes such as homicide, kidnapping and robbery dropped by more than 30% nationwide. In 2021, nearly 85% of the criminal cases sentenced by the courts were light sentences of less than three years. Some media interpret this set of data as the coming of "misdemeanor era" in China.

  In this regard, Xiao Shengfang, deputy to the 13th National People’s Congress and president of Guangdong Lawyers Association, pointed out that there are a huge number of people with criminal records in China today, but most of them are negligent crimes or minor economic crimes. These petty criminals are not harmful to society, but they will be branded as "criminals" after returning to society, and "criminal record will accompany them for life."

  expert

  Call for the construction of the system of eliminating misdemeanor criminal record

  Xiao Shengfang said that when the current Criminal Law was passed in 1979, it was a "felony". However, with the continuous increase of criminal law amendments, the scope of cracking down on misdemeanors has been expanding, and new crimes have been added to criminal law provisions.

  In his view, once a citizen has a criminal record, whether it is a felony or a misdemeanor, the label of having committed a crime will accompany the offender for life, which will have a great impact on his future job search, career and even family life.

  Xiao Shengfang has received many people who have difficulties in survival related to criminal record for help. For example, a person from a city in Hebei said that he was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment and suspended for two years. After returning to society, he was repeatedly rejected in the job search process and his life was embarrassed.

  Another mass wrote to Xiao Shengfang for help, saying that she had been sentenced to one year’s imprisonment for harboring prostitution. When she returned to her hometown after serving her sentence, she was waiting for her with the cold eyes of her parents, and even her children’s future entry, study and employment were affected by her criminal record. Xiao Shengfang told reporters that every time he reads these letters, he feels heavy.

  Xiao Shengfang pointed out that according to the Supreme People’s Court’s work reports over the years, the average number of criminals sentenced to punishment in the Supreme People’s Court in the past five years was as high as 1.2 million. He believes that such a large number of people can not integrate into society normally, "which will undoubtedly hinder the construction of a harmonious society in China."

  In order to solve this problem, Xiao Shengfang, as the representative of the 13th National People’s Congress, twice submitted the "Proposal on Adding the System of Eliminating Offenders before Minor Offences in China’s Criminal Law". In his view, the criminal record elimination system is conducive to crime prevention. "If the criminal record of misdemeanor crimes can be eliminated, it means that these people will not be isolated and abandoned by society after returning to society. This kind of people will regard the elimination of criminal record as an opportunity for society to turn over a new leaf, and most people will give back to society with gratitude, which is very beneficial to social development and stability. "

  The reporter noticed that on August 25th this year, the People’s Court Newspaper hosted by the Supreme People’s Court published an article "Crime Management and Its System Supply in the Age of Minor Offences", discussing how to construct the system of eliminating minor offenses. In the article, some concrete contents about the construction of the system are put forward, including making it clear that it is applicable to minor criminals under three years, but maintaining "zero tolerance" for sexual crimes, terrorist crimes, organized crimes of underworld nature and so on.

  Finally, Xiao Shengfang appealed that due to the huge number of petty criminals, the construction of relevant systems for this group of people should be paid attention to by all parties and promoted as soon as possible. Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star Journalist Zhou Weihao
