September 13, 2014 17:17

The fever for tickets for the final match between U19 Vietnam and U19 Japan tonight is no longer as high as yesterday. In fact, ticket prices at many times have dropped sharply, so many fans have the opportunity to enter the stadium.

If yesterday, the final tickets for the U19 Southeast Asia Nutifood Cup peaked at a pair of 100,000 VND tickets at stands A - B with a black market price of 3 million VND, even 4-5 million VND, then this morning, the pair of tickets dropped to less than 2 million VND.

According to the reporter's records, the black market for tickets in the morning and early afternoon of September 13 was not as active as yesterday. Because the number of buyers was not high due to the high price of up to 4 million VND/pair of good seats yesterday, the ticket brokers had to reduce the price to sell the "goods" quickly, instead of holding many tickets until close to the match time.

The My Dinh Stadium area was the busiest. However, the number of ticket scalpers outnumbered the buyers. The scalpers constantly solicited passersby, even going out into the middle of the street to invite customers to buy. Whenever a car stopped to ask for the price of a ticket, the scalpers rushed in. There was a situation of fighting over customers, causing disorder.

As of early this afternoon, the price for a pair of tickets for stands C and D is currently 1.2 million VND (a 300,000 VND reduction compared to September 12), the price for a pair of tickets for stand B is 1.8 million VND (a 200,000 VND reduction). As for invitation tickets, good seats in stand A are around 3 million VND/pair.

One buyer said that the ticket price was still too high compared to the income of the people. This buyer hoped that the ticket price would continue to decrease closer to the match time before deciding to buy the ticket.

The demand for tickets to the final match of the U19 Southeast Asian Championship is still very high. However, many fans have chosen a wiser option such as looking for cheap tickets online or waiting until the last minute to buy tickets, instead of accepting the "exorbitant" prices offered by ticket brokers.

With this situation, the possibility of black market tickets being unsold before the match starts is entirely possible. However, a long-time ticket broker in front of My Dinh Stadium said that even in the worst case scenario of not being able to sell tickets at the desired price, the ticket brokers will still make enough money at this year's tournament.

According to this ticket group, when the ticket fever reached its peak yesterday, many people rushed to buy tickets for fear of running out. Most of these people bought them as gifts, so the price was not too important. Not only did it cause a stir in the stadium area, but black market tickets were also sold everywhere online.

The drop in black market ticket prices is good news for fans. However, even with tickets, there are no seats. In recent matches, there have been cases of My Dinh Stadium’s family members, organizers, etc. following them into the stadium. Although My Dinh Stadium has a capacity of about 40,000 spectators, the stairs and entrances are always full of people and the number is certainly more than 40,000.
