(Dan Tri) - Tickets for Blackpink's second performance in Hanoi are on sale again, but "black market" ticket prices show no signs of cooling down and have even increased.
At 1:30 p.m. on July 30, the ticket sales page for the second day of Blackpink's performance in Hanoi officially reopened. The additional tickets are available in all categories at the same price as the first sale.

After only one hour of going on sale, the tickets on the official website were almost sold out. Currently, the organizers have opened a direct ticket counter at My Dinh Stadium (Hanoi) but only sell the two highest categories: VIP (9.8 million VND) and Platinum (7.8 million VND). Accordingly, each person can only buy a maximum of 4 tickets and must pay in cash. There are still quite a few Platinum tickets left as of 4 p.m.

According to Dan Tri reporters, on online forums, some people are selling VIP tickets for up to 40 million VND/pair. Meanwhile, at 1:30 p.m. at My Dinh Stadium, the "black market" tickets are mostly sold at the original price. Some seats that many fans are interested in have their prices increased by 1-3 million VND. Mr. Tran Hai (Hanoi) said: "I am selling 2 Cat 2 L2 tickets for 12.9 million VND. The original price is 11.6 million VND. Now there are few of these tickets left, if you don't buy them now, they will be gone."

Thuy Duong (born in 2004, Hanoi) shared: "I just bought a VIP ticket for 10 million VND, only 200,000 VND more expensive than the original price. Luckily, they only had 1 ticket left so they reduced the price from 11 million VND to 10 million VND for me." After tickets for the Blackpink group's performance on day 2 were put on sale, the "black market" ticket price did not decrease, but even tended to increase. Quang Duc ( Lai Chau ) said that he just bought a pair of VIP tickets, seats near the stage for 27 million VND (original price 9.8 million VND/ticket). "Although the ticket price is high, I still bought it because I want to sit close to the stage and watch the whole performance," Duc said. Ms. NA (Hanoi) is selling Cat 1 tickets for 8 million VND (original price 6.8 million VND). When asked about the higher price than the original price, she said that tickets are currently very scarce and not available to buy. Ha Linh (born in 2004) shared: "There are few tickets left now, but I am also very cautious about black market tickets. I was almost tricked into buying fake tickets at a high price." According to Dan Tri reporter's record at 4 p.m., the ticket scalpers were no longer present, with only a few people selling 1-2 tickets. Fans were pouring into the organizer's ticket booth to line up to buy.
