Ticket scalping remains a challenge for event organizers. Measures such as real-name ticketing and limited refund windows have been implemented to deter scalpers, but they can also inconvenience genuine attendees. 

A more balanced solution, drawing inspiration from the "12306 train ticketing system," could be adopted. 

This approach might involve implementing refund fees based on specific timeframes, discouraging scalping while still safeguarding consumer rights. 

By striking a middle ground, organizers can effectively combat scalping without disproportionately impacting innocent ticket holders. 

The long-standing issue of ticket scalping requires innovative and fair approaches tailored to each industry's needs.

The term "assembly line princess" has sparked controversy recently, referring to a new trend in travel in which female tourists dress in local attire, wear similar makeup, and pose in the same way at historical or culturally significant sites.
