⚠️ Key Avoidance Guide

Ticket scams:

Only use Damai/Meituan official platforms! Strict ID verification requires "face + ID + dynamic code," scalper tickets 100% invalid;

Beware unauthorized platforms like "Ant Ticketing" (fans reported fake tickets);

Entry notes:

No bottled water/glow headbands/selfie sticks! "Sweetheart Energy Pack" available inside (electrolyte water + towel ¥30);

VIP souvenirs distributed via wristband, stops 1hr after show starts;

Transport alerts:

Post-concert Metro Line 14 extends to 23:40, special buses to Zhonglou (free with ticket);

Park at "Olympic P3 Lot" (¥10/day), full after 18:00;

Tourist traps:

Avoid overpriced "face-changing dolls" (3x markup), better handmade options at Academy Gate (¥25);

Skip Muslim Quarter's "viral squid," deep-alley Male BBQ is the real deal;

When the intro of "Love You" plays, pink sugar showers from the honeycomb stage as ten thousand heartbeats sync through vibrating wristbands—you'll understand the true meaning of "SUGAR HIGH": both Cyndi's 20-year love letter to youth, and Xi'an gilding your memories with moonlight from thirteen dynasties.
