In the interview, the reporter learned that due to the high concern for stars, an idol airport interest chain centered on stars has quietly formed.
The private information of stars is clearly marked.
If fans want to meet or see off at the airport, they must know the flights of stars in advance. So where do the flight information of these stars come from?
The reporter entered the keyword "star flight itinerary" on Weibo, and found some bloggers selling private information of stars. These sellers will post the time and place of star travel on Weibo. Want to know the specific flight information, you need to sell private letters.
As a fan, the reporter added a seller's WeChat. The profile shows that the other party is engaged in online flight inquiry and is currently recruiting agents.
After checking the seller's circle of friends, the reporter found that the other party not only sells the star's flight information, but also sells the star's game account, music App account, Weibo trumpet, micro signal and so on. Even the mobile phone number and ID number are all expressed by pinyin abbreviations. For information containing sensitive words, the seller will not reply.
It is also known that the private information of these stars varies in price due to different types. Generally, the prices of micro-signals and mobile phone numbers are 88 yuan.
"Yellow Cattle" sells boarding passes to help fans brush tickets.
In addition to selling private information of stars, sellers also provide "brush off" service.
Brushing customs clearance is one of the commonly used means in idolize, A fan airport: after fans know the flight information of a star, they buy a ticket for a similar period of time, go through security check, wait with the star, put the star on the plane, and then come out to refund the ticket, only losing 200 yuan to 300 yuan.
The reporter further learned through the relevant sellers that there is another way to use the "brush level" in the seller's mouth, which is different from the previous brush-off of ticket purchase and refund. As long as you spend 200 yuan to provide the seller with personal identification information, you can get a "brush checkpoint".
From the pictures provided by the seller, we can see that the so-called "swipe checkpoint" is an electronic boarding pass.
The seller said, "I just want you to brush it off and go in, and follow the star to send him to the plane, but you can do it without flying." Under normal circumstances, you can't pass the security check without a ticket, but you can brush it down and go in. "
The reporter learned through airline customer service that each passenger has only one boarding pass, and the information on the boarding pass corresponds to the seats on the plane one by one. In other words, if the seat on the plane is tampered with by scalpers or others, it may correspond to two or more boarding passes. The information on the boarding pass is valid only for passengers who buy air tickets through formal channels, while the "electronic boarding pass" bought by 200 yuan from scalpers can only pass the security check and go in to see idols, and cannot be used for boarding.
The information of the same seat on the same flight actually appears on two boarding passes, won't it be found out?
The reporter questioned the seller. The seller said: "No, so many people brushed it, why was it found out?" This will definitely not be found out, because the brush is originally in cooperation with airlines. "
The reporter browsed the seller's circle of friends and found a screenshot of the chat record. The content is: in Beijing, more than 30 SGs were arrested, minors called their parents, adults were fined, the second detention was plus a fine of 2,000 yuan, and the third time was not allowed to fly for one year.
The reporter asked the seller for proof of this picture and expressed his concern.
The other party told the reporter, "We rarely get caught doing this brush. The last time I was caught, it was because everyone was spreading the star's flight. The star was too hot and was caught because someone brushed it too many times. "
In the process of communication, the other party repeatedly stressed that he "brushed the checkpoint" because he cooperated with the airline and there would be no problem.
In July this year 1 1, the Civil Aviation Administration issued the Notice on Strengthening the Pick-up and Follow-up Management of Fans, one of which was to strictly manage internal personnel to prevent internal personnel from using their positions to inquire about information outside work and disclose the travel information of well-known passengers. Strengthen confidentiality awareness, strengthen confidentiality education, and sign confidentiality agreements.
The management benefit of fan support club is superior.
In the interview, the reporter also found that the reason why selling star information is becoming more and more common is because the fan base has huge demand. After getting the flight information of the idol, pick him up at the airport in the form of individual or fan support club. Among them, as a huge and mixed group, the fan support club has complicated interests.
Wu Yu (pseudonym) is a sophomore. She began to participate in the rescue in her freshman year, watched many star concerts and roadshows, and saw various "big scenes". Although Wu Yu has been in the fan circle for many years, he has never joined a formal official support club.
"I always find some QQ groups to join, and the formal support club requires too much. It was too much trouble at first and I didn't have time to study. Later, it was inconvenient and more and more people liked it. You have to pay, and then the stars come to the local area every year. From pick-up to venue layout to delivery, members of the support club must participate, and they are also responsible for playing lists, voting and brushing data. " Wu Yu said.
According to Wu Yu, "in terms of cost, some pay a little every year, and some have sex once, which is not necessarily true. There doesn't seem to be much in the mainland, about thirty or forty yuan. There seems to be a difference between Hong Kong and Taiwan, and some may be 100 yuan. Because the requirements and benefits of different support clubs are different, it is not accurate. This kind of thing will not be expensive even if you really like it. "
When fans join the support club, in addition to paying the membership fee every year, they also need extra diplomatic fees for each activity and pick-up.
"You need to pay extra for renting a car, or you need a lot of help this time. Places like Beishangguang, where there are many activities, may also cost a lot of money. Other places, like second-and third-tier cities, come once or twice a year, and there is not much cost. " Wu Yu said.
A large number of fan support clubs are not chaotic, and mature official support clubs often set up financial, overall planning and management departments.
Wu Yu told reporters, "The management of the support club has direct communication with the brokerage company, and some official micro-support clubs are directly taken over by the company and become semi-official numbers. These management of the support club are generally organized for many years, but it is also possible that the later ability cannot be replaced and redistributed by the brokerage company, or it may be climbing the wall by itself. "
According to another introduction, these high-ranking executives in the support club are called "powder heads". They not only master the star resources and information, but also manage a lot of funds of the support club. They are the link between the brokerage company and the fans, and the benefits are very superior.
After the high-level support club raised funds, it absconded with the money.
However, not all members of the management pay silently without asking for anything in return, and there is also corruption within the support club.
"Everything happens, and there are often things that happen after group tickets are put forward." Wu Yu said.
Wu Yu gave the reporter an example. It costs a lot of money to vote and support in the competition of talent show. Accounts that participate in voting need to be purchased in large quantities and then sent to the voting group. In this process, because no one can predict how much money will be spent at first, they will raise a sum of money and give it to the support club or the responsible station, so that they can use the money to support or vote on the list. But because I was too busy during the competition to make detailed accounts, the support club suggested that I open another account when the money was not enough.
"When the game is over and the details of these accounts are calculated, it is easy to find problems. For example, not all the money raised is used locally, and it is possible that the management will run away with the money. Some support clubs announced the change of management just after the game, or the management asked to close the station on the grounds of limited energy. The above situation is likely to be that the management has circled a sum of money in their hands and is afraid of being caught out, so they closed the station or dissolved the support club. " Wu Yu said.
Wu Yu told reporters that she had planned to send a plane, but she was too lazy to go now because she had something to do temporarily.
"At that time, I was going to brush, and I wanted to buy tickets for almost the same period of time in advance to pass the security check. When a star gets on a plane or goes to a VIP, I will refund the ticket. In fact, I also have a very familiar' scalper', but I don't like buying and brushing checkpoints, and I don't want to expose my personal information. There are also regulations for airport pick-up. Large-scale congestion will affect other passengers' travel and will be blacklisted. And now I think that picking up the plane actually affects the rest of the artist, so I don't like it. " Wu Yu said.
