(Dan Tri) - Ticket hunting for the two nights of the "Anh Trai Say Hi" concert in Hanoi is still bustling. While the third night has been "sold out", tickets for the fourth night have not yet been sold out on the system.
Ticket scalpers in trouble
Concerts 3 and 4 Anh trai say hi will take place over 2 days, December 7 and 9, at My Dinh Stadium (Hanoi). On social networks, groups exchanging tickets and selling tickets for the concert still attract a lot of interactions.
According to a survey by Dan Tri reporters, the group "Exchange, buy and sell, pass tickets for Anh Trai Say Hi " on Facebook has 70,000 followers. As of the morning of December 5, many people want to transfer tickets or ticket brokers are still selling tickets for the 2 concert nights at different prices.

Previously, when the organizers announced that the Anh trai say hi concert in Hanoi would only be for one night on December 7, the distribution channel quickly sold out tens of thousands of tickets. At this time, the "black market" ticket market for concert 3 was still easily offering high prices due to the great demand from fans.
However, since the producer unexpectedly opened an additional concert 4 on December 9, many ticket brokers were forced to lower ticket prices and sell tickets for concert 3 at a loss to avoid "holding tickets".
Currently, the most sought-after ticket classes for concerts 3 and 4 are CAT and GA. The original price of these seats ranges from 500,000 VND to 1.8 million VND depending on the location. "Black market" tickets are being sold at the same price as the original or at a difference of about 200,000 VND to 500,000 VND, however, the number of tickets is quite small.
Meanwhile, ticket categories such as Fanzone, VIP, VieVIP... for concerts 3 and 4 are being advertised for sale, even at a loss, but the journey to the buyer is very "arduous". Many audiences are afraid of being scammed and want to transact directly on the day of the concert, so they are hesitant to buy tickets online.
In addition, because the organizer does not accept exchanging wristbands for QR codes of individual tickets, many people want to transact directly after the seller has exchanged the wristbands at the stadium.
"Sell at a loss of 500,000 VND, 700,000 VND compared to the original price, transact directly at home or office, send ID card, add owner on Facebook to check, but the buyer only deposits 100,000 VND, asks to exchange the ring, only transfers the remaining money when entering the stadium for fear of fraud", one person shared a "half-crying, half-laughing" situation on the ticket exchange group.
Fans beware of scams
Besides the posts "tickets looking for people, people looking for tickets" on the Anh trai say hi ticket transfer groups, many posts also warn the audience to be careful when making transactions to avoid being scammed.

Some common scams are booking tickets on behalf of others, posting ads for cheap tickets... Scammers often ask buyers to deposit money or transfer the full amount to hold the ticket. Many fans are impatient to get good seats at good prices, so they transfer money to scammers, then the seller suddenly "disappears" and locks the account.
Audience member NK said on December 1 that she was scammed out of 1.8 million VND when transacting with an account named D.L. This person pretended to be a winner of a ticket from the company's program and resold it at the original price. "At first, I checked and it seemed reputable, and even sent me a photo of the ticket and an email for verification. But in the end, it turned out to be a scam," NK said.
In addition, audiences reported that there were cases of people claiming to be bank employees (concert sponsors), sending invitations to open cards to receive tickets. Fans warned each other to research information before registering, avoid clicking on strange links that could lead to losing accounts or being scammed by bad people.
On November 28, Hanoi City Police said that Hai Ba Trung District Police are investigating and verifying a case of fraud and property appropriation when buying tickets to see Anh Trai Say Hi . Accordingly, Ms. N.'s group (Hai Ba Trung District) transferred more than 50 million VND to a person who introduced himself as a member of the program's organizing committee, to buy tickets to the concert.
After transferring the money, Ms. N. did not receive the tickets as promised, and the Facebook post selling the tickets was also removed. Suspecting that they had been scammed, Ms. N.'s group went to the Bach Mai Ward Police Station, Hai Ba Trung District, to report the incident.

Concert 4 is still not sold out.
Concert 4 of Say Hi Brother will take place on December 9 at My Dinh Stadium, however, up to now, tickets on distribution channels have not been sold out.
Previously, when tickets were opened for sale on November 28, low and medium priced tickets such as CAT1 (900,000 VND), CAT2 (700,000 VND), CAT3 (500,000 VND), GA2 (1.4 million VND), GA3 (1 million VND), GA4 (800,000 VND)... were all sold out quickly.
According to Dan Tri reporters, by November 30, Fanzone ticket categories were also reported sold out on the system. However, on December 2, areas that had already sold out such as CAT3A, GA1A, GA1B, Fanzone A, B on the Ticketbox distribution channel suddenly "released tickets" again.

As of noon on December 5, the ticket distribution system for concert 4 still has some seat categories such as SVIPA, SVIPB, FanzoneA,B, VIPB, GA1A, GA1B, GA2A, GA2B...
This makes the audience think that the ticket sales of the concert 4 Say Hi Brothers is quite slow, there is a risk of "unsold tickets", making it difficult to fill My Dinh Stadium.
However, there are also opinions that the demand of fans to buy tickets to the concert is still high. After the third concert held on December 7, the possibility of the fever effect of the program will help sell tickets better. Some fans said that they have bought tickets for the third concert and will still buy tickets for the fourth concert at a reasonable price to satisfy their love for their idol.
"I bought tickets for concert 3, but when the organizers released concert 4, I still tried to buy CAT1A seats. After many days of searching the group, a friend sold me the original ticket for 900,000 VND.
Maybe concert 4 takes place on the first day of the week so ticket sales are slower, but I believe the next 2 concerts will have a good effect," audience member Thu Trang (22 years old, Hanoi) shared with Dan Tri reporter.

According to the organizers' regulations, those who have purchased tickets must go to the ticket exchange location to get a wristband to enter the gate. The wristband exchange procedure for concert 3 takes place from 10am on December 5 to 7pm on December 7. For concert 4, the wristband exchange procedure takes place from 10am on December 8 to 7pm on December 9.
On December 4, after the "older brothers" arrived in Hanoi, the singers also performed many interactive activities with fans.
On the afternoon of December 4, the bus parade of the artists Anh trai say hi attracted a large number of fans, causing a long traffic jam on the road passing the Opera House (Hoan Kiem, Hanoi).
This morning, the artist group visited the Monument to Heroes and Martyrs on Bac Son Street (Ba Dinh, Hanoi).
