AKB48 Fan Meet is CanceledAn event where fans would have a chance to meet members of the popular idol group AKB48 was canceled after ticket fraud was discovered. Fans were to meet the five members of spinoff group "Watarirouka Hashiritai" at an "akushukai" (shake hands meeting) in Nagoya on Wednesday. The event, to promote their new single, was called off due to what organizers described as the "theft of used tickets and the use of forged tickets."
Some people are just epic fail.
I guess it is a sign of the rising popularity, though.
