The ‘Genshin Impact’ Ticketing Myth How an RPG Became a ‘Scientific’ Strategy for Anime Expo Sales

In recent years, anime-related offline exhibitions have become increasingly popular. Whether as a casual fan or a professional in the industry, the most noticeable feeling is that the number of people has been increasing, and tickets are becoming harder to obtain.
Hot anime exhibitions today face a level of ticketing difficulty that is nearly on par with that of a popular concert. For example, a few seconds can sell out tens of thousands of tickets, causing the ticketing system to crash, and large numbers of scalpers infiltrating the venue. In general, because it is so difficult to obtain tickets, the various imaginative strategies that were once associated with concert ticketing have started appearing in these anime offline exhibitions.
In addition to the usual “proxy bidding,” “scripts,” and “robots,” there is now a unique “Genshin Impact mysticism” within the anime community. While it may not be considered true mysticism, this method has been officially recognized as a “scientific ticketing” strategy in the most recent Bilibili World (BW) ticketing posts, even leading some to claim that Genshin Impact may be the biggest winner of this year’s BW.
Genshin Impact Ticketing Method
Initially, players noticed that by running Genshin Impact in the background, their ticketing process became smoother, and they could easily obtain their desired tickets. At first, everyone thought it was just a coincidence, but as the ticketing competition for various events and concerts intensified, players did not want their money to fall into the hands of scalpers. Thus, this “Genshin Impact” method was tested, and it proved effective.
Another player then confirmed, “After running Genshin Impact in the background, I actually got a ticket!” This method quickly spread, particularly during the Bilibili World (BW) event, where players began downloading Genshin Impact just to try it. Some even forgot about their ticketing efforts due to getting too engrossed in playing Genshin Impact.
Social media platforms also reported successful cases of using Genshin Impact for ticketing, encouraging many ordinary people to download the game.
On the free chart, it can be seen that the ranking of Genshin Impact indeed improved during the BW ticketing period.
So, is this Genshin Impact ticketing method truly scientific?
To answer this, we invite you to first look at some other mysterious events surrounding Genshin Impact before its ticketing method became popular.
Cyber Medical Master
In 2023, “Master Pai” (Paimon) first appeared in the player’s phone. A phone with half of its screen black and unfixable suddenly had a screen with images appear after opening Genshin Impact. Although the screen still had some flickering, it was clear that Master Pai had a high level of skill, wielding a wrench to “compile shaders” and miraculously restore the screen.
From then on, Master Pai’s reputation as a cyber medical master was established, and his diagnostic field continued to expand.
In 2024, a YouTuber claimed that their frame rate and gameplay were smoother and more stable when they opened Genshin Impact while playing Nekketsu Chou. This was more direct and visible than the previous case of improving screen issues, firmly establishing Master Pai’s reputation as a cyber medical master among players and streamers.
