Miss Universe 2025: Final tickets are unsold, Nawat forces contestants to offer tickets?

Miss Universe 2025 final tickets are still in a slump despite being discounted. Mr. Nawat and the contestants had to directly call on the audience to scan the QR code, buy tickets to support the program and cheer on the contestants participating in the upcoming final night.

On the evening of November 15, 123 contestants of the Miss Universe 2025 pageant had a dinner party in Pattaya, Thailand. At this event, Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil, the president of the pageant, appeared with a pre-printed QR code, a 30% discount coupon for tickets for the final night, and asked the contestants to call on the audience to buy tickets.

In a video that went viral on social media, Mr. Nawat directly asked the two representatives of the Netherlands and Poland to invite the audience to scan the QR code. "Do you see this QR code? Scan it to get a 30% discount," the two beauties said to the camera. Mr. Nawat then continued to move to other tables, asking more similar contestants to promote the discounted tickets.

This action immediately became a hot topic of debate on beauty forums. Many viewers expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that calling for direct ticket purchases has reduced the reputation of Miss Universe. Some prominent comments include: "Is it downgraded to this level? The organizers and contestants must directly invite the audience to buy tickets?", or "Miss Universe used to have audiences hunt for final tickets, now the price is reduced by 30%, so disappointing", "Nawat can do anything as long as he can make money, I'm so bored".

Previously, ticket sales for the Miss Universe 2025 finale were reported to be slow. Mr. Nawat continuously posted on social media and livestreamed to call for ticket purchases. Businesswoman Piyaporn Pui Sankosik, Chairman of TPN Global and considered the "beauty queen" in Thailand, also joined in calling on the audience to support ticket sales.

According to information from the organizers, ticket prices for the final night range from 5,000 to 50,000 baht (equivalent to 4-40 million VND). The event will take place at Impact Challenger Hall, Pak Kret, Nonthaburi province, Thailand. Although the prices are considered reasonable compared to the 2024 season in Mexico or 2023 in El Salvador, the number of tickets sold is still quite limited.

Experts and beauty fans believe that Mr. Nawat's controversy has somewhat affected ticket sales. Since the start of the contest, Miss Universe 2025 has been constantly overshadowed by controversial news, which has somewhat affected the image of the contest in the eyes of the audience. In addition, Thailand is in a period of national mourning, and the government has requested to limit the scale of entertainment events, reducing the audience's attraction to this year's contest.

Currently, 123 contestants continue their final activities in Pattaya before entering the final night. They will perform in national costumes and participate in the semi-finals on November 19. The official final night will take place on November 21, when reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig will pass on the crown to her successor.

With these developments, Miss Universe 2025 still attracts public attention, but also leaves many controversies about the organization and ticket sales strategy. The fact that contestants directly invite audiences to buy tickets, although aimed at increasing revenue, makes many people feel that the image of the contest is too commercialized.

In addition, beauty fans also expect the organizers to make reasonable adjustments in the remaining activities, to affirm the prestige and inherent class of Miss Universe, and at the same time bring a worthy, attractive and impressive final night to the audience.
