Tickets for Hong Kong singer-actor Jacky Cheung's September concert in Beijing have almost sold out as of Monday, the first day when organizers officially release its tickets. Organizers warn fans to be cautious about fake tickets.

Jacky Cheung's concert will be on stage in the Fengtai Sports Center of Beijing on September 30. Even compared with his Guangzhou concert, in which tickets were sold out two days after the start of official ticket selling, this time sets a new record. Tickets have been so fully booked that very few are available even at the first official selling time.

According to the organizers, the final statistics of ticket sales are still unknown, however, they confirmed that those tickets with the highest and lowest prices were all sold out. There might be some middle-priced ones remaining, but not that many.

Despite the craze from Jacky's fans, the concert will be performed in Beijing only once due to Jacky's busy schedule. That means only 20,000 fans would be able to enjoy the concert on-site.

To prevent counterfeit tickets flowing into the market, advanced anti-counterfeit technologies have been employed to ensure ticket security. Organizers at the same time warn fans to take caution and purchase tickets through right channels, as many ticket scalpers or some illegal people might attempt to cash in on this golden opportunity.

Reportedly, limited amounts of souvenirs, designed by famous Hong Kong director Ge Minhui, for this concert will be distributed at the concert. The souvenirs include Swarovski crystal caps, T-shirts and notebooks.
