According to records, on August 30, just need buyers to search for "national concert tickets", a series of closed groups to hunt, transfer, exchange, and buy and sell tickets all appeared before the show. Although there are recommendations, even the ticket has the words "Invitation not for sale" clearly stated, but this ticket sale and purchase activity still takes place openly.
Learning about and contacting account owners who posted information about ticket sales, reporters were shocked by the "sky-high" price for the C and D stands - seating on both sides of the stage. Directly contact the account V.P.L who posted only the words "Ready to ship", the reporter was invited: "1.6 million 1 ticket, with direct transactions".
The price did not stop there, continuing to contact an account named N.T.T, as soon as he asked the seller if he still had tickets, the reporter received the answer: " Still. I am just in the C and D stands. Price 1.9 million/ticket. You can go to the ticket counter or transfer money, where we were that day, you will go to the stadium to receive the ticket.
If in Hanoi, we ship to you, customers will have to pay for the shipment. If I took a pair, I would give them 1.850 million/ticket. We just buy and sell, but we can't queue up, it adds up a lot, the price of buying is several hundred thousand, then we lose money, then we have to buy fake tickets" - this person said.
Not yet shocked by the above price, another account named H.L said: "2 million/ticket. No problem, I'm selling at the company's regulated price."
When asked about the transaction method, account owner H.L affirmed: "No one would let the transaction take until that day, take it right away, ship it to the place".
Walking around the groups, buyers also saw a post for sale at 5 million VND/ticket and 9.5 million VND/pair of tickets. Even the offered price for tickets is left open at 1 million x, depending on the buyer's willingness to play.
Meanwhile, on August 29, Nguyen Ha Trang (Chuong My, Hanoi) spent 5 hours lining up to get tickets at the gate of the Hanoi Opera House, but luckily he had not "smiled" with her.
Ha Trang shared: "At first, I lined up with the purpose of only getting 1 ticket for myself, then I would buy transfer tickets on groups for parents. However, lining up from 6am to around 11am, everyone told each other that all the tickets were sold out. A moment later, the organizers announced that they would issue 60 more tickets, but it seems they have chosen someone."
As soon as she returned, Ha Trang searched and hunted in groups: "The prices on groups were very high, at that time it was up to 4 million VND/pair of tickets, but now the price has cooled down, fluctuating between 2.5 million VND/pair of tickets. That is why I posted to look for "soft" ticket prices.
"Because it was the first time I hunted for tickets to "go" to a national concert, I felt confused about buying and selling, exchanging tickets online, spending a large amount of money, but I could not be sure that the ticket could "pass" the check-in. I still want to find a ticket and go see it with my parents because this is also the last concert of this 80th anniversary" - Trang shared.
Nguyen Minh Phuong (Hoang Mai, Hanoi) was also "shocked" by the ticket prices: "If the price is about 1 million/ticket, I would still think about paying. Even if it is too high, I will give up and spend that money to have fun during this holiday".
