Ticket brokers suddenly increase "black market" prices

A few hours before BlackPink's first concert at My Dinh Stadium ( Hanoi ), hundreds of fans arrived very early to continue exchanging wristbands for tickets or exchanging tickets for wristbands to enter and watch the BlackPink show.

Meanwhile, the ticket resale market at the stadium entrance and on online platforms remains bustling.

Ticket scalpers unexpectedly raise prices just before BlackPink's show in Hanoi.

Ticket touts were still diligently trying to sell tickets right up until BlackPink's show was about to begin.

Even with calls to "rescue VIP tickets," ticket scalpers refused to offer deep discounts like they had in previous days.

Specifically, a pair of VIP tickets were being offered for sale at 20 million VND. Those who bought them immediately would receive a 1 million VND discount. However, many people who inquired found the price too high and left without buying.

Another young person was offering VIP tickets for July 30th at 7-8 million VND. Meanwhile, another seller insisted on maintaining the original price - 9.8 million VND per VIP ticket for July 30th.

VIP tickets for July 29th are somewhat more affordable, ranging from 4.5 to 5 million VND per ticket.

While just the day before (July 28th), tickets were being offered at discounts of 20-30% compared to the organizers' original prices, with some even offering 50% off or buy-one-get-one-free deals for bulk purchases, customers remained indifferent.

Currently, the number of people flocking to My Dinh Stadium is increasing. Not only Vietnamese fans, but BlackPink's music event is also attracting a large number of fans from China, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Despite the hot and unpredictable weather at the event location, fans still waited patiently to be the first to enter the stadium.

The organizers set up tents for early-arriving spectators to sit and avoid the sun. In addition, security was tightened, with multiple layers of protection both outside and inside My Dinh Stadium, ensuring safety throughout the event.
