What does VFF say about the tickets for the Philippines match "selling out before they were sold out"?
(Baonghean.vn) - At exactly 10:00 this morning, the VFF's online ticketing system was opened to distribute tickets for the second leg of the semi-final between Vietnam and the Philippines. However, most people were unable to purchase tickets this way.
As planned, the ticket booking system for the semi-final match between Vietnam and the Philippines will open from 10:00 a.m. on November 28 to 12:00 p.m. on November 29 or until tickets are sold out, whichever comes first.
Despite constantly registering and being on duty regularly, most of the results that fans receive are sold out tickets. The number of people who successfully register to buy tickets is very small.

The general situation of fans this morning is that they cannot buy tickets. |
“All tickets of this value have been sold out or the remaining tickets are pending payment by other customers. Please choose another value or come back later!” - the online ticket sales website announced.
Thus, more than 20,000 online tickets for the Vietnam - Philippines match were sold out in less than 3 minutes (from the time of online sales at 10:00 on November 28, 2018). In addition, the two ticket sales methods including retail at the counter and via official dispatch will not be applied this time.
This afternoon, the Vietnam Football Federation announced that the match organizers will continue to sell tickets online for the second leg of the Vietnam national football team's semi-final match at the AFF Cup 2018. Nearly 5,000 tickets were successfully purchased this morning. The organizers confirmed that online tickets are still available and will be sold until they run out.
During the customer booking process, due to the large number of simultaneous visits, only a certain number of customers can proceed with the payment steps at the same time. Customers who cannot buy tickets will continue to wait and update to be able to enter the transaction.
