| Many households bring thousands of chairs to the stadium to rent. In the inner circle of the stadium, the chairs are evenly distributed, while in the outer circle, the chairs may have to be stacked 2 or 3. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Construction scaffolding systems are also mobilized to watch the festival. However, at the Duc Hoang Temple Festival, the scaffolding is not yet high. Stacking scaffolding or chairs in layers like this poses many potential dangers. Photo: Huy Thu |

| On this occasion, many truck owners in Van Thanh and Phuc Thanh communes... also brought their trucks to the stadium to rent out standing beams. Each truck here can hold about 100 people. Whether standing on chairs, on scaffolding or on cars... all cost 10,000 VND/person. Photo: Huy Thu |

| The space between cars is also used to watch the festival. Each match has dozens of trucks lining up, renting out space to stand on. Photo: Huy Thu |

| In order to avoid paying for a stand, many people brought their own ladders and chairs to watch the festival. Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| Some people even risked their lives by sitting precariously on the roof of a makeshift tent. Photo: Huy Thu |
