00:00Last but not least, the one who sold tickets for Olivia Rodrigo's concert for more than Php 20,000 instead of more than Php 1,500 is the other one.
00:12Bukaway Bulacan Contra Scalping still doesn't have an ordinance.
00:16And Jonathan Andal was chosen.
00:22Kila is excited to watch Olivia Rodrigo's concert this Saturday in the Philippine Arena.
00:29But instead of going to the concert venue, he went straight to the police.
00:34He bought a concert ticket, a scalper that was hidden outside the venue.
00:39Because the ticket there is about Php 23,000 each.
00:44That is only Php 1,500, the original price.
00:49Kila paid Php 46,000 for two tickets.
00:53When I got there, he was there with the police.
00:57His cellphone was off.
00:59The police told me to turn on my cellphone and return the money.
01:02So he transferred me again and gave me the tickets.
01:06The scalper was very apologetic.
01:08I told him that even if I pay him Php 1,500, he got the original price of Php 1,500 for each ticket.
01:13I told him that I will pay him Php 1,500 for each ticket, so Php 3,000.
01:16But the police said no.
01:18He really did that because he was selling the tickets that he already bought to other people for Php 15,000.
01:24So get a full refund.
01:26I'm really a fan. This is my last resort.
01:29Kila entered the concert venue using the ticket that was named after the scalper.
01:33He found the scalper online.
01:35According to the police, Singapore National was not the first to sell admission tickets.
01:40He went to all the concerts to make money, allegedly businessman.
01:45What he said immediately was that he was willing to return the payment just to end the issue.
01:53He did not force him to pay or sell his tickets to the madam.
02:01The scalper was not arrested because there was no ordinance in Bukawi Bulacan
02:05that punishes those who sell admission tickets that are more expensive than the original price.
02:10But they planned to make an ordinance against the scalpers.
02:14Tomorrow, we will discuss this with the people of Bukawi.
02:18To protect the consumers, to protect the Bukawenyos,
02:22even if there is a risk that their constitutionality will be questioned,
02:28the state cannot intervene between a buyer and a seller as long as they both agree.
02:37As of now, there are ordinances against the scalpers in Quezon City, Pasay City, and San Juan City.
02:42The DTIO, Department of Trade and Industry, admitted that there is no law that regulates scalping.
02:47It cannot be included in the price tag because admission ticket is not a basic necessity.
02:52But it is important to have a law that prohibits and punishes scalping in the whole country.
02:59Kila will no longer buy from the scalper.
03:02Don't buy from the scalper. Never again. Once and never again.
03:06Even if I don't become a fan.
03:08For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, for 24 Hours.
