The two highest priced tickets for the Vietnam - Japan match sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale.

According to the records, after 10 minutes of VFF opening for sale, high ticket prices such as 900,000 VND/ticket and 1.2 million VND/ticket for the match between Vietnam and Japan were all sold out. Meanwhile, the remaining two prices of 500,000 VND and 700,000 VND were still quite abundant, but buyers continuously encountered cases where they could not pay successfully when buying a pair.

Tickets for the Vietnam - Saudi Arabia match were still available after about 20 minutes of opening, showing that fans were still not really interested in this match at My Dinh.

According to regulations, each fan is allowed to buy 2 tickets/match. After successfully booking tickets, VFF will send them directly via Vietnam Post to the registered address of the buyer, starting from November 4.

VFF only sells about 7,000 tickets per match to fans (the rest are for partners and invitations), earning an average of 5-6 billion VND. This money is used for stadium rental, huge medical expenses, transportation, security, etc.

It is known that AFC holds all the commercial rights of the matches such as: selling billboards, television copyrights... Therefore, VFF is forced to balance the costs of organizing the matches, and have more revenue to invest in football activities.

Mr. Le Hoai Anh - General Secretary of VFF shared: "The permission to welcome spectators to the stadium to cheer for two matches in November 2021 is good news for domestic football fans as well as the Vietnamese team, because this is the home field advantage that every team needs.

To have the best preparation, VFF has coordinated with the Hanoi Department of Information and Communications, the National Center for Covid-19 Prevention and Control to post QR Codes at 56 entrances/exits of My Dinh Stadium. This will help spectators declare information more conveniently. Hopefully, with the support from the spectators, the Vietnam team will compete and achieve good results."
