In just a short time of being on sale, Westlife's concert tickets were officially sold out of 15,000 tickets. In addition, black market ticket prices were also increased 4-5 times, the sca.m happened again just like the last BLACKPINK concert.

At 9:00 a.m. on September 26, tickets for Westlife's concert in Vietnam officially went on sale. Even before opening for sale, the ticket sales site Ticketbox recorded a shutdown due to the large number of people "queuing" online. Ticket categories in the grandstand area are sold out first.

Notably, after less than 5 hours since the ticket portal opened, the program's organizer - AMO - confirmed that all 15,000 tickets had been sold, despite the concert taking place on between week. 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. However, the online ticket buying experience of many audiences is completely opposite. The ticket sales website keeps having errors and the lag cannot be fixed.

About an hour earlier, many fans were ready to "hunt for tickets", even going to internet shops with strong network connections to feel secure in their ticket buying journey. However, according to many viewers, about 5 - 10 minutes before G, the ticket sales page malfunctioned.

TT readers shared screenshots of lining up online waiting for their turn to buy tickets. Even though she had her own number, she was still pushed back for unknown reasons. "The number of people announced in front of me was 2,000 people, then it jumped to 3,000 people, then back to 200... I don't understand how the website works. When I chose a ticket, I couldn't click to buy. Bad experience."

According to Tien Phong , because the demand is so great, the black market for ticket prices has also become "hotter" than ever.

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 was in a daze all morning when I couldn't get into the waiting room and it took nearly 3 hours to leave empty-handed. 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.

However, a group of fans claim that they can have tickets in any area of the stands, and are willing to spend mone.y to buy tickets at a higher price than the original price, to see the idols associated with their childhood perform right away. at home. In particular, many fans hope that Westlife will open another concert in Vietnam.

Besides the pai.n of the black market, bad guys have created ticket selling websites extremely similar to Ticketbox to sca.m mone.y from unwary audiences. Warning fans, the organizers have posted a notice about counterfeit and black market tickets.

"Ticket sales transactions outside the main system may face many risks, including fake tickets, used tickets or disputes about the value and validity of tickets. The Organizing Committee and Ticketbox will is not responsible for transactions outside the main system".
