Everyone knows just how explosively popular Big Bang is in China. But it seems there are some people in China who are trying to take advantage of that very popularity. 

A Chinese media outlet released a report on March 17 regarding counterfeit Big Bang tickets which were sold to fans when actual tickets to the group's Zhengzhou concert were sold out. Needless to say, many V.I.P's who were desperate to see their favorite group perform live were upset and dejected upon discovering that the tickets they purchased at a premium price turned out to be fake. Though the exact price wasn't revealed, the counterfeits tickets were reported to be quite expensive.

YG Entertainment, upon hearing about this unfortunate news, offered what little consolation they could through an official statement. The label stated on March 18, "We hope fans won't be inconvenienced any more with cases such as these. We hope that people will refrain from selling counterfeit tickets at a premium."
