Fans jostle to buy tickets for the Saigon - HAGL match
Tickets to watch Kiatisuk and his team play host Saigon FC in round 1 of V-League were sold out after a few days of going on sale.
On the morning of January 16, Thong Nhat Stadium opened ticket sales for the match between Saigon FC and HAGL. According to the home team's previous announcement, tickets were sold directly at the stadium's stands from 9am. Since early morning, thousands of fans had lined up at the stands where tickets were sold. However, it was not until 10am that the staff started selling tickets and only at the A stands, which made the audience quite upset. However, security forces quickly arrived to restore order and help the audience line up to buy tickets.
