In modern Chinese social contexts, VIP tickets for popular concerts or shows are notoriously difficult to obtain, often requiring personal connections ('gao piao'). Repeatedly saying 'gao bu liao' (can't get it done) highlights extreme difficulty and also serves as a defensive conversational tactic to politely deflect favor requests from acquaintances.
