As soon as the news of Vietnam becoming a stopover in G-Dragon's world tour "G-Dragon 2025 [Übermensch]" was announced, the fan community in Vietnam "exploded" with excitement. The concert was held on the nights of November 8 and 9 at 8Wonder Ocean City, promising to be one of the most famous music events of the year.
According to the announcement from the organizing committee, the official ticket price ranges from 2 million to 8 million VND, depending on the seat location. Of which, the VVIP class costs 8 million VND/pair, along with attractive privileges such as attending sound-check sessions, meeting and seeing off artists after the show. These are experiences exclusively for the luckiest group of fans. The remaining ticket categories such as VIP, Premium, GA, CAT6 ... cost from 2 to 7.3 million VND.
G-Dragon's heat quickly pushed the "black market" ticket market into a "explosive" state just a few days after the organizers opened ticket sales. Currently, with only a few days left until the concert, the market for buying, selling, transferring, and exchanging tickets is still bustling on many fanpages and forums.
Many people advertised: Pass (sell) GA4B pair on day 1 of G-Dragon concert 8.11, Finding a ticket for a day 1 with a budget of less than 4 million, or Chang pass 2 CAT6 tickets, transacting directly in Hanoi...
However, VIP and VVIP tickets are quite rare in exchange groups, because they are mostly prioritized for customers who meet the conditions from sponsors or sponsors. On forums, VVIP tickets have been pushed up to more than 40-50 million VND/pair, many times higher than the original price.
Ms. Do Lan Anh (from Hanoi), a long-time fan of G-Dragon, has a lot of experience in hunting for concert tickets, shared with reporters: "Recently, the organizers opened two registration rounds for two shows, so in general, Vietnamese fans hunting for tickets is quite easy, some people even buy more and then sell tickets at not too high prices.
But VVIP tickets are very rare, because everyone wants to keep them to meet G-Dragon at the send-off (meeting and greeting their idols after the show ends). These tickets are mainly diplomatic tickets, there are many Chinese tourists, while there are very few Vietnamese fans who can truly own them".
According to Ms. Lan Anh, some fans with experience chose CAT1 or GA tickets because the whole stage perspective was better. A friend of mine used to buy VIP tickets but later passed them away to choose CAT tickets. VVIP is mainly experiential, but the viewing location is not the most ideal, she added.
Meanwhile, the "black market" ticket market has great potential risks from fake tickets, tickets with identical QR codes to unreasonable price increases.
With the global appeal of the "king of K-pop", the two shows in Vietnam are predicted to become the largest music event in Vietnam in 2025.
However, fans are advised to only buy tickets through official channels to avoid risks and ensure a complete experience at the upcoming music festival.
