[Reporter Wang Qianhao/Taipei Report] The Ministry of Culture announced on March 17 the revised draft of the "Cultural and Creative Industry Development Law" (referred to as the "Cultural and Creative Law"), which clearly stipulates that art and cultural performance tickets will be sold or purchased on behalf of 10% of the face value. For those who fail to pay, a fine of 5 to 30 times the price of each ticket will be imposed according to the number of tickets.

In this regard, Shen Fahui, a legislator of the DPP, was concerned about the issue of scalpers during his questioning today, asking why the real-name system for purchasing tickets was not implemented in this amendment; Minister of Culture Shi Zhe responded that the real-name system would damage the rights and interests of the audience.

The Legislative Yuan will continue to question Executive Premier Chen Chien-jen's policy policy and policy report today.

Shen Fahui asked whether the Executive Yuan has done anything to curb scalpers when a Korean girl group came to Taiwan to perform.

Chen Jianren declared that it is very important to curb the behavior of scalping tickets, and will regulate scalping tickets in the "Cultural and Creative Law" and increase the penalties.

Shen Fahui said that Taiwan's current penalties for scalping tickets are based on Article 64, Paragraph 2 of the "Social Order Maintenance Law". Compared with the huge profits of 400,000 yuan, ordinary people will definitely take risks if they have the opportunity.

Shen Fahui pointed out that the current legislative direction of scalpers is to put them into the "Cultural and Creative Law", and today is just the deadline for the revision of the law, but the outside world has questioned that the draft amendment has a 10% tolerance for the resale of scalpers; The partial revision of the law refers to the Australian regulations, but the Japanese regulations do not reserve the space for resale of fares.

Shi Zhe replied that many platforms operate ticket transfers overseas, which cannot be completely prohibited by domestic laws and regulations.

They hope to lead it to a positive second-hand ticket exchange system, 10% of which is the result of consultation with the industry, and maintain a certain commercial mechanism to allow the public to establish a healthy second-hand ticket platform; a legal second-hand exchange platform may also be a discount transfer , but there will be an exchange mechanism only if someone manages it.

Shen Fahui mentioned that the outside world also questioned why the real-name ticket purchase system was not implemented in this amendment?

Shi Zhe pointed out that it was difficult to imagine a real-name system before the epidemic, but under the circumstances of the epidemic, people naturally think that there must be a real-name system in order to track footprints.

However, the real-name system was implemented in several concerts last year, which resulted in a lot of disputes. Many audiences spent up to 2 or 3 hours just entering the venue, which is not fair to the audience; It is necessary to bring an ID card, which has caused many disputes.

Shi Zhe pointed out that the real-name system not only increases the cost of the operators, but also harms the rights and interests of the audience. They will use the method of making the best use of the situation to reduce the disputes of scalping tickets.

Shen Fahui asked, if the industry is willing to adopt the real-name system, whether to consider adding incentives to the "Cultural and Creative Law"; Shi Zhe said that they will use policy subsidies to carry out, hoping to leave room for consultation with the industry.

In addition, Shen Fahui was also concerned about the issue of scalping tickets for sports events, and asked Minister of Education Pan Wenzhong whether there was a regulation similar to the "Cultural Creation Law"; Pan Wenzhong replied that there is a little difference between sports events and performances. , equal to sharing with more people, so in the past there were fewer scalped tickets for sports events, but they will refer to the practice of the Ministry of Culture to study and see.
