Before the match SLNA - Hanoi T&T: Fake tickets appeared, ticket scalpers complained of losses
(Baonghean.vn)- Right at the start of the key match between SLNA and Hanoi T&T, although the organizers had no more tickets to sell, the black market was very gloomy. Tickets were sold at original price by brokers but very few people bought them.
At 4 p.m., holding a stack of tickets in her hand, a middle-aged woman walked around Vinh Stadium to offer tickets to the audience. What was special was that, although the ticket was very hot, this person only sold them at the original price of the publisher. Stands B, C, D cost from 10,000 to 20,000 VND, stand A3 cost 50,000 VND, but very few audiences paid to buy them. In the same situation, many other ticket brokers also covered their faces, brought a whole stack of tickets to offer at the original price, but no one bought them.

In the stands, the organizers repeatedly reminded the security forces to increase control because many people used fake tickets to enter the stadium. The organizers reminded that real tickets are those with the red embossed stamp of the organizers inside, other types of tickets are fake. The organizers' reminders also made many spectators give up the idea of buying black market tickets, making the brokers shake their heads in disappointment. "Yesterday, my family took turns lining up and bought nearly 10 pairs of tickets, intending to hide them to sell them today for a better price, but it didn't work out. Now we're trying to get our money back," a woman wearing a mask confided while selling tickets.
Before that, on August 10 and the morning of August 11, Vinh city residents were boiling over the ticket issue. Thousands of people lined up in the hot sun but could not find a ticket to watch the big match because the organizers announced that all tickets were sold out. However, in addition to the black market, ticket brokers still own many tickets in the stands, asking for 10-15 times the price whenever there is an interested customer.
Lieutenant Colonel Ngo Sy Son used a loudspeaker to urge security forces to closely check the entrances.
If the issue of tickets suddenly cools down close to the match time, the security issue continues to heat up. The organizing committee is using sniffer dogs to patrol the stadium to promptly detect and handle incidents.
