On January 21, the two Call Me by Fire concerts on January 3 and 4 in Ho Chi Minh City officially opened for ticket sales. As soon as the system opened for sales, the Ticketbox website crashed, and audiences could not access it.
During the first 30 minutes, the system continuously encountered problems, causing some viewers to be unable to pay, unable to select the desired area or being asked to log in again.
Then, the ticket distributor Ticketbox announced that all tickets for day 3 were sold out after 30 minutes, and day 4 was also "sold out" after 40 minutes. This is an unprecedented ticket selling speed for a show that takes place two nights in a row, and is on sale at the same time in Vietnam.
On social media, many viewers were surprised by the speed at which tickets were sold. Many breathed a sigh of relief after successfully overcoming the difficulties, but some began to look for tickets transferred from third parties.
The lyrics "Even when the show tickets sold out in less than 1 hour" were suddenly shared across forums. It is known that this lyric was sung by Rhymastic in the song "Qua la troi" in the final round of Call Me by Fire.
At the time the song was released, many audiences could not have imagined that the concert's ticket sales would be so "thorny".
Previously, the concert on day 2 in Hung Yen recorded a waiting audience of more than 150,000 people. After 50 minutes, all tickets were sold out, although the capacity of the performance venue was estimated at 40,000 spectators.
The resold tickets were then sold on social media at prices 3-4 times higher than the original price. Call Me by Fire successfully held 2 concerts in Hung Yen and Ho Chi Minh City, attracting tens of thousands of spectators.
On days 3 and 4, concert ticket prices range from 800,000 VND to 8,000,000 VND.
Every time concert tickets go on sale, Rhymastic's lyrics are shared on social media. Audiences humorously say that thanks to the rapper's "prophetic" words, they have to fight fiercely for tickets.
Rhymastic's real name is Vu Duc Thien, born in 1991. He is known to the public as a member of the SpaceSpeakers group, which owns many hits such as "Love 5", "Just chill", "Candle and flower"...
While participating in "Call Me by Fire", Rhymastic was loved, praised and admired for his talent by his colleagues.
