38-year-old junior college student referred to prosecutors for allegedly reselling tickets at higher prices


A 38-year-old college student from Toyama has been referred to prosecutors on suspicion of illegally reselling electronic tickets for a popular musical. This marks the first time the Tokyo Metropolitan Police have cracked down on unauthorized resale of e-tickets. The woman allegedly resold tickets for “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood” last year, adding an extra ¥12,000 to the original price through a resale website. The case was uncovered through cyber patrol efforts. During questioning, she expressed her intent was to make a profit from the sales. The police are investigating further, believing the woman has resold over 100 e-tickets, amassing more than ¥3 million in profits since March 2022.
