In an Instagram Story on Thursday, Culinary Class Wars winner Kwon Seong-jun aka Napoli Matfia posted a resale listing of a user offering more than 700,000 won (US$519) for reservation tickets for two at Kwon’s Via Toledo Pasta Bar.
Kwon cautioned fans against reselling and scalping tickets, writing: “If you are caught selling tickets, the app will permanently black you out and your reservation fee will not be refunded.”
He also encouraged users to report those engaging in resale activities – offering reservations “to those who catch a black market ticket reservation”.
Following Kwon’s win on Culinary Class Wars, resale ticket reservations to Via Toledo Pasta Bar have been on the rise – with prices usually ranging between 500,000 won and 700,000 won. According to South Korean media outlets, there was even a listing that was going at 1.5 million won (US$1,100) for two diners.
