Many young people today are ready to spend a large amount of money to join the concert "ticket hunting war" in order to "catch idols" in the international market. However, one girl had not yet had time to celebrate her successful ticket hunt when she suddenly received news that she was fired.

Nowadays, many young people are ready to spend a large amount of money to participate in the concert "ticket hunting war" in order to "catch idols" in the international market. However, one girl had not yet had time to celebrate when she successfully hunted for VIP tickets to attend a famous foreign singer's concert when she suddenly received news that she was fired.

It is known that 5 months ago, a 25-year-old girl participated in the "ticket hunt" of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour concert, taking place in March 2024 in Singapore. Being a die-hard fan of Taylor Swift for more than 15 years, she boldly spent more than 10 million VND for VIP tickets to meet her idol at the closest distance. Not many days after the joy of successfully hunting for tickets, she received news that she was on the company's personnel reduction list.

Some people advised her to resell the tickets to "get any money, or that money" during the time she lost her job. But the 25-year-old girl refused because "I don't know when I will have the chance to meet my idol again".

Not only this girl, many young people are also not afraid to spend large amounts of money to directly experience a quality music night and "breathe the same atmosphere" with idols. Besides ticket and travel expenses, many Vietnamese fans also invest in costumes, hairdressing, makeup, or shopping for lightsticks depending on each person's spending tolerance.

To be able to go to Singapore to watch the concert, in addition to the VIP ticket worth 10 million VND, the 25-year-old girl mentioned above is expected to spend an additional 12-13 million VND for air tickets and hotel expenses.

The girl said: "Not to mention the cost of food and transportation for 4 days and 3 nights. Singapore is famous for being expensive, so I had to leave an extra 5-8 million VND. If I knew I was going to be unemployed, I would choose the ticket class." cheaper so as not to fall into the current situation of being 'out of pocket'. The tickets have been bought, the show must definitely go, but I don't know where the money will be to cover all those fees."

Before that, the 25-year-old girl participated in several music shows with relatively "soft" costs, such as the Born Pink concert (BlackPink) and Yen Concert (Hoang Dung). At these two music nights, she only lost ticket money because they were both held in Hanoi.

Luckily, the time she was fired was quite far from the night of the concert. She quickly started looking for a new job, took on more freelance work, and cut back on personal expenses to save up for next year's trip.

Having gone to international concerts 3 times, a 23-year-old girl in Ho Chi Minh City has learned quite a bit of experience when going to another country to "swing idols". The 23-year-old girl commented that she has a "fate" with Singapore because most of the music shows she has participated in and is about to participate in are held in this country.

The 23-year-old girl said: "The first concert I went to was BTS' Love Yourself Tour (2019). Recently, I attended the show DDay (AgustD). In March of next year, I went to Singapore again to see The Taylor Swift's Eras Tour".

Before each trip, the 23-year-old girl plans carefully so that her expenses do not exceed her savings. In particular, ticket fees always account for 50-60% of the budget of 20 million VND. She often buys tickets for 2 consecutive days, so sometimes this amount can be up to 8-10 million VND. The second highest cost is airfare (about 25-30%), the rest is divided equally between meals and transportation.

To save money, the 23-year-old girl does not use ride-hailing apps but takes advantage of public transportation and walking. She said: "My team and I always look for popular dishes that have been reviewed by many people, so sometimes the whole trip only costs about 1 million VND for 4-5 days. For example, a portion of Michelin chicken rice in Singapore only costs 1 million VND for 4-5 days. 5 SGD (90,000 VND). The biggest expense was the first trip abroad, many problems arose, not being well prepared, so the spending slightly exceeded 20 million VND."

Having a stable job as well as saved money, the 23-year-old girl said she pays for all her trips to see concerts herself. Except for the first time without experience, An always sets financial goals before the event takes place. For her, the concert is a special opportunity for fans from all over the world, regardless of nationality or age, to connect with each other.
