"Understood, Director…" the staff replied in unison, busily moving about the backstage. By now, many fans who had seen the online merchandise link had already started placing orders. The rules had made it clear that purchasing merchandise would give them a chance to watch the concert via live broadcast. While it wasn't the same as being there in person, it was the next best thing.
The prices were reasonable too; most items ranged from $100 to $300, with the CD sold separately. Even if fans bought several items, the total cost was still comparable to a concert ticket, making them feel like they weren't missing out at all.
The staff monitoring merchandise sales could barely contain their excitement as fans continued buying more items to secure a chance at the live broadcast, despite the concert not having started yet. Many felt they had plenty of time to try their luck.
