Overseasidol.com — Chinese actor Wang Anyu has officially announced his first fan meeting, scheduled to take place on May 30 in Chengdu.
While the event itself has generated excitement, it is the ticket pricing that has sparked widespread debate online.
Ticket prices are divided into several tiers, ranging from 380 yuan for standard seating, 680 yuan for premium sections, and up to 1,080 yuan for interactive front-row access.
The highest price point has drawn criticism from some netizens, who argue that it is comparable to concert tickets for professional singers.
The discussion intensified as the event is expected to last around 90 minutes, featuring a mix of singing performances and fan interactions.
Critics question whether the content justifies the cost, suggesting that the overall experience may not match the ticket value.
However, many fans continue to show strong support. For them, the opportunity to meet their favorite star in person and enjoy a close, interactive experience outweighs concerns about pricing.
This situation reflects a broader trend in China’s entertainment industry.
In recent years, more actors have expanded into live performances such as fan meetings and concerts.
Celebrities like Zhao Lusi, Bai Lu, Dylan Wang, Esther Yu, Ding Yuxi, Lin Yi, and Neo Hou have all explored similar ventures.
The shift is partly driven by changes in the film and television industry, where production cycles have slowed and opportunities have become more limited.
