Tickets for a concert by several of the top vote
earners in the smash hit
TV talent contest "Super Girl" have been moving quickly since they went
on sale on Monday night.
More than 50 percent of the 40,000 tickets for the October 6 show have
been sold, including all 6,000 VIP tickets. The show will be held at
Shanghai Stadium.
An youqi, the champion of last year's"Super Girl" and 12 contestants
from this year's show might perform at the concert- but local residents
will get a chance to decide who sings and who doesn't.
"We will let local fans vote to decide who will sing," said Xie Yiheng of
Kaisi Cultural Company, which is organizing the event. Similar to the voting
formula used to pick the winner of "Super Girl," residents can vote
on who will sing from a list of contestants by sending a cell phone test
message to organizers.
This year's champion Li Yuchun, a 21-year-old pop singing major at the
Sichuan Conservatory of Music, won the top prize by drawing 3.5 million
cell phone message votes during the finals on August 26.
"Super Girl" was the country's most popular TV program this summer.
Independent research suggests 10 percent of Chinese households watched all
or some of the competition- a massive figure considering the country's
population of 1.3 billion. VIP tickets to the upcoming concert sold for
280 yuan(US$35) to 580 yuan, while ordinary tickets are selling for 50
yuan, 100 yuan and 150 yuan.
