Ticket price to watch U23 Vietnam play the final of SEA Games 31 ‘team’ dozens of times

After winning 1-0 against U23 Malaysia, U23 Vietnam entered the final match for the gold medal with U23 Thailand on May 22. The heat of this match caused ticket prices to be pushed up dozens of times higher than the original price.

Surveyed at many groups, Facebook forums on buying and selling SEA Games 31 tickets, many articles for sale and buying tickets to see the final were posted. Here, tickets are divided into 3 types: QR code scanning tickets, paper tickets and invitation tickets. The highest value will belong to the type of ticket that invites you to sit at the stands A and B for sale up to 12-15 million VND/pair, 15 times the original price (500,000 VND/ticket).

Then also sat in stands A and B but belonged to the QR code scanning ticket sold from 5 million to 8 million VND/pair. Stands C and D are for sale at a lower price of 3 million to 5 million VND/pair, but this is also a price many times higher than the original price.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Truong (Nam Truc, Nam Dinh), right before the semi-final took place, he knew in advance that there would be a situation where the ticket price for the final match would be pushed up if Vietnam won, so he had to buy it. give me 3 pairs to go see with friends to avoid being “overpriced”.

“Searched all the forums, contacted many familiar places but couldn’t buy tickets to stand B to watch the final match even though the semi-finals had not yet taken place. Until the end of the first half of the match, my friends and I had to accept to buy tickets to see at stand D at the price of 2.2 million VND/pair. Fortunately, Vietnam won, my ticket price immediately went up to nearly 4 million VND. Although we couldn’t buy tickets at the best viewing area, we were lucky enough to be able to buy them at a reasonable price so we were happy“, Mr. Truong said.

Surveyed on the afternoon of May 19, before the semi-final match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Malaysia, the highest ticket price for the final match was only 4.5 million VND for a pair of stands A or B and about 1 ,8 million VND for a pair of stands C or D.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hien, a ticket seller on some Facebook forums, at the time of the semi-final match, even ticket sellers could not find themselves tickets to seats at stands A and B. Ly Because many “ticket factions” hold tickets to wait for Vietnam to win, the price will increase many times, the profit will be higher.

“If they invest, they have to accept risks, one is if Vietnam wins, they will win big, if Vietnam loses, they accept to lose. But the possibility of profit is still greater, so no one is selling tickets at this time, everyone is watching the market. If you have money tomorrow, you won’t be able to buy a ticket, the ticket price will increase day by day, hour by hour“, said Hien.

However, the ticket fever caused many online ticket buyers to fall into a state of fraud when transferring the deposit to the “faction” but did not receive the ticket, and the seller also disappeared.

Previously, the authorities had advised people buying back tickets to be careful, in case the “stork” would sell a QR code to many people.
