What is the "Wayang Kulit Show Ticket Inflating" scam in Yogyakarta?

Question

Accepted Answer

Touts near the Kraton (Sultan's Palace) and along Jalan Malioboro approach visitors and sell tickets to wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performances at two to four times the standard admission price, claiming their version includes an exclusive front-row position or post-show backstage tour that is never actually provided. Purchase wayang kulit tickets directly from the Sonobudoyo Museum box office on Jalan Trikora or from the Kraton's official ticket desk. Official prices are posted at the entrance and are a fraction of what touts charge.
