weapons. We have to be cautious while using the real-name system and it will

be troublesome and inconvenient for people.

The use of the real-name system will also decrease the efficiency of
ticket selling and checking process. With the real-name system, people
have to bring an ID to confirm their identity. This can be really annoying since

sometimes people may forget to bring their ID. The process needs to be
stopped in order to confirm the person’s identity if the ID is lost. The number of
audience in a concert may decrease since there is not enough time for people
to buy tickets. Recent reports have discovered that people rather go to a concert

without a real-name system than a concert that does. The result is very
convincing since I once waited for six hours for one ticket to a concert with
the real-name system. There were seven members of staff stamping tickets!
The efficiency of the real-name system has to be increased before putting in

use.

Hong Kong faces a lot of problems right now – housing, infrastructure and
political problems. Ticket touts is just a tiny problem and can be solved in
a much easier way. Organizers can issue electronic tickets that cannot be

given to others. This cannot be transferred since tickets are directly sent
to our phones, unless ticket holders are crazy enough to give their phone to
others.

Ticket touts can be solved in other ways. The real-name system is too

extreme to deal with this problem and may cause lots of inconvenience. We
should take matters into our own hands and fight against it until ticket touts
are gone for good.
