As the only game in Asia that chose China as the venue of World War IV, it will be a great blessing for fans in Hangzhou and even China to spend the friendly match between Manchester United and Greentown, and July 26th will be an unforgettable day for fans.
As co-organizers, we, Yuan Chuangyuan Advertising Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Sports Media) and Century Cai Feng Culture Communication Co., Ltd. will cooperate with Guangzhou Qijia Sports Development Co., Ltd. to carry out the ticketing promotion of Manchester United Asia Tour 2009-Hangzhou Station in China and related matters. Here, on behalf of Yuanchuang Original Advertising (Zhejiang Sports Media) and Century Style Working Team, I thank Manchester United Football Club and International Entertainment Overseas Co., Ltd. for their trust! We are confident that under the guidance of Zhejiang Sports Bureau and Zhejiang Football Association, this event will be a passionate and wonderful event.
Manchester United's trip to Asia is the fifth time that Manchester United has visited Asian countries in the past decade, and it is also the first historic visit to beautiful Hangzhou. Its significance and influence will be far-reaching and extensive. And the "Red Devils" Manchester United will also blow up a strong "storm" among more than 72 million fanatical fans in China. So, do it well.
In 2009, the promotion and ticketing of the second Manchester United Asian Tour-China Hangzhou Station has gone beyond the pure market category and become an important milestone in the cultural exchange between China and Britain. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the friends in the press present. Our work needs your's strong support!
There are still 89 days before Manchester United Club arrives in Hangzhou, and the ticketing related preparations between Manchester United and Hangzhou Greentown are being stepped up, and the preliminary publicity preparations are ready. Tickets were accepted for booking on May/KOOC-0/2009, and it is planned to be put on sale to the public on May/KOOC-0/6, 2009.
For such a football pilgrimage, what we should consider is how to meet the needs of the fans as much as possible based on the actual market situation, so that the China audience who really love football can have the opportunity to experience the shock of the world's top football matches. We have set strict requirements and set higher standards in fare customization, sales methods, ticket control and many other aspects. After extensive fan survey and professional market evaluation, we have determined the concepts of "reasonable pricing", "wide casting" and "strict ticket control" in the ticketing work of the Manchester United Asian Tour 2009- China Hangzhou Station.
Next, I would like to introduce you to the ticketing work of this competition:
I. Fares and ticket purchasing channels
In view of the most concerned fare problem, we implemented the premium fare policy after communicating with Manchester United and consulting the opinions of management departments and institutions at all levels. The face value * * * is set as follows:
100 yuan, 300 yuan, 600 yuan (set of two tickets, set of fare 1000 yuan/set), 900 yuan, 1200 yuan (set of two tickets, set of fare 2000 yuan/set), 1600 yuan, etc.
It should be noted that, from the perspective of treating every ticket-purchasing fan fairly, protecting the interests of fans and ensuring the stability of ticket prices, there will be no preferential ticket purchase in this competition.
In the setting of sales channels, we set the total box office in the business center on the second floor of Blue Army Hotel, Zhejiang World Trade Center (address: Shuguang Road, Hangzhou 122). Considering that this competition is the only one of Manchester United's Asian Tour in China, and there are die-hard fans of Manchester United all over the country, the ticket sales of this competition will be based on the comprehensive sales service of the total box office, adopting the most advanced ticketing system in China and the nationwide networking mode for large-scale ticket sales. In addition to Hangzhou and surrounding cities in the province, more than ten major cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, will set up sales outlets; In addition to the coverage of physical sales channels, tickets can also be purchased through online channels, which will maximize the convenience for fans to purchase tickets and watch.
