On August 14, the opening sale for VPBank Mastercard cardholders recorded nearly 120,000 tickets waiting to buy tickets. Ticket slots allocated in this phase quickly found owners, continuing the shortage situation from the presale for BIGBANG V.I.P Membership on August 13.
Many beautiful areas on seatmap are constantly changing status, while social networks have appeared a series of posts sharing moments of successful payment.
On Threads, a fan shared that he bought the Diamond VIP 8 position of night 2 in just 52 seconds after entering the system. Another audience member also expressed excitement when hunting for Diamond 8 right next to the stage and said he might burst into tears at the concert.
This special interest comes from the fact that this is the first joint world tour of G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG after 9 years. The concert in Hanoi also takes place on the occasion of BIGBANG's 20th anniversary of operation, making the two nights of October 24 and 25 considered by many V-V.I.P as a special appointment after a long wait.
While fans are racing to hunt for tickets, the ticket scalping market is starting to cool down. Previously, Lao Dong Newspaper recorded a Diamond VIP ticket with a listed price of 9.8 million VND once being advertised for up to 45 million VND. This price is 35.2 million VND higher than the original price.
However, after two early sales periods, the number of tickets appearing on the transfer market increased. Some ticket scalpers began to adjust prices down, especially for tickets that do not have too good locations or sellers want to transfer quickly.
The current asking price is not uniform, depending on ticket class, location, performance date and negotiation ability. Meanwhile, some fans are offering equal price tickets to exchange seats for higher seats or seats that are more suitable for themselves.
This development shows that the ticket scalping market is under more pressure as buyers still have the opportunity to access official ticket sources. The mass sale will take place at 10:00 AM on August 17 on CTicket. The continued release of official tickets to the market may cause those who are holding transferred tickets to reconsider the price.
Although ticket scalpers' prices are showing signs of cooling down, fans still need to be cautious when buying tickets through social networks. Previously, the Organizing Committee affirmed that there are no "internal tickets", "partner tickets" or diplomatic slots; buyers should prioritize official ticket sales channels, carefully check seller information and be wary of strange links, request deposits or prepayment transfers to avoid being deceived.
On the other hand, in the V-V.I.P community, many people who have bought tickets continue to call on fans to fill My Dinh Stadium in both nights of performance, creating a "sea of golden crowns" on the occasion of BIGBANG's return to Vietnam.
Some fans shared their wish that My Dinh would have no empty space for BIGBANG to feel the affection of Vietnamese audiences. For those who have accompanied the group through songs such as "Haru Haru", "Last Farewell" or "Fantastic Baby", this concert is considered a special appointment after many years of waiting.
