From the evening of August 28, people began lining up, bringing chairs, drinks, snacks and even a hand fan in the Opera House area (Hanoi) with the hope of getting a ticket to the national concert "80 years of independence - freedom - Happiness".

As part of the patient waiting line, the audience Pham Van Minh (19 years old, Hanoi) said that he and his group of friends arrived at 2:00 p.m. on August 28 determined to win the No. 1 spot: "I missed the previous time, so this time I prepared carefully, determined to have a ticket in hand. I went with a group of friends, we prepared enough food and drinks.
When we arrived, there were people lining up but there were still few people, then there were more and more people. I am very excited to come to this concert.

Not only the young people, but many older audiences are also eagerly waiting. Ms. Nguyen Ha (52 years old, from Hanoi) and a group of 9 people brought flags and hats with yellow red flags to express their love for the Fatherland.
