According to eyewitnesses, when the World Expo Park opened yesterday morning, a number of young Super Junior fans were gathered in front of the World Cultural Performance Center. Many of them are avid fans who had waited overnight in order to get tickets. The Park originally promised to give out 2,000 tickets but then they said that the tickets had run out. This caused people to get upset. Some fans said that the Park people were keeping the tickets for their "connections" and someone pointed out that scalpers were selling tickets outside the park for 1,500 yuan each.
This information caused things to go out of control as several hundred fans rushed the ticket distribution location at the World Cultural Performance Center. According to information, many teenage fans fell down and were stepped upon. The most serious injury was a person with a broken bone which required hospital treatment.
Due to the serious nature of the incident, the World Expo Park authorities sent armed policemen to the scene. The police arrived in four waves. By the time that the fourth wave arrived, there were more police than fans at the scene. The police quickly formed several human walls and made the fans calm down.
But some of the fans without tickets did not give up and sat down to demand answers from the organizers. The fans and the police stood off to a stalemate at the various entrances. Finally, the World Cultural Performance Center authorities relented and announced that all fans would be admitted. However, they also said that fans cannot "re-enter if they exit." So for the several hours between their entry and 9:45pm when the concert began, the fans had to sit and wait without food, drink or restroom.
A fan who went through the experience told us: "The arrangements were really chaotic. There are many things that remain incomprehensible. How come there were only 2,000 tickets given out for a venue that can accommodate 10,000 persons. Why did they only issue 2,000 tickets? Did the other tickets go to 'connections' as alleged?" The World Expo authorities have so far made no statement about this farce.
