It can be said that this is a record ticket sales speed for a concert by an international artist opening for sale in Vietnam.

Concert ticket prices are considered quite "easy to breathe". There are 6 ticket classes, 100% seats, sold for 850,000 VND, 1.2 million VND, 1.7 million VND, 2.1 million VND, 3.1 million VND and the highest 4 million VND.

When I chose a ticket, I couldn't click to buy. Bad experience."

In the ticket hunting festival, the Cat6 price of 850,000 VND was raised to 5 million VND/pair. Cat 1 cost 4 million VND and now someone is "screaming" for 10 million VND. This continuous "control" of ticket prices has made many audiences angry.

I'm sorry that I failed to buy tickets and potentially lost my idol concert, but I decided not to buy the tickets again. with the 'huge' difference that many people are advertising. I read many comments that 8X is quite wealthy and qualified to take idols at that price. Once again, please 'ticket brokers' do not blatantly take advantage of your enthusiasm. the audience's grave to get rich" - a disgruntled account spoke up.
