Appears to have been a successful scam pulled off in Shanghai, China surrounding a “secret” Daft Punk concert that was schedule for February 13th. 3800 people apparently bought tickets over the course of a couple of days at 500 RMB a pop ($70-80). A Facebook group has popped up recently dedicated to the issue. The photographs below were taken by surveillance camera at the ticket office the scammers rented.



Daft Punk have issued an official response:
“DENIAL. Daft Punk is not playing in Shangri. The band are not touring this year, and at no point were they approached for this show, and at no point was there ever a possibility that they would do such a show.
The band and those around them were made aware of the scam in the last day or so, and are very upset that there are crooks out there trying to rip off the bands loyal fans.
All Daft Punk shows are announced on the bands official MySpace site, and we urge fans to check the site before purchasing tickets for shows.
The bands representatives are currently looking into what future action can be taken regarding the fraudsters responsible for the current scam. Daft Punk are looking forward to visiting and performing in China as part of their next world tour, in 2010 or 2011.”
So while we are saddened by this event we are excited that they are in the studio working on material and planning on hitting the road again to promote it. For our fellow Daft Punk fans and to the folks who were duped by this scam we give you a couple of recordings to keep us going.
