Opening at the same time, the ticket sales race between Hoang Thuy Linh

In the 15th year of his career, Trung Quan organized the live concert 1589 with 2 shows in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Trung Quan has the ambition to attract more than 10 thousand spectators. This is also the way for the male singer to affirm his position in the hearts of the audience after many years of hard work.

According to information from the program producer, in the first 24 hours in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Trung Quan's Live Concert 1589 sold more than 3,000 tickets; after 48 hours, this number increased to more than 6,000. Ticket prices for Trung Quan's 15th anniversary live concert range from 800,000 VND to 3 million VND, which is considered a relatively affordable price.

After only 5 days of opening for sale, all tickets for the show in Ho Chi Minh City were completely sold out, while tickets for the show in Hanoi were also being sold very quickly with only a few hundred tickets left. The male singer had to continuously apologize to ticket buyers when the crew had not responded in time.

Trung Quan continuously updates ticket sales status for audiences.

Sharing with VTC News reporter, Ha Thanh Phuc - Producer of concert 1589 expressed his surprise and happiness because he did not dare to think that he would sell 6 thousand tickets after 3 days of opening for sale, before that the whole crew only expected the number to be around 2-3 thousand tickets.

He once said "I don't dare dream of 10 thousand tickets for a show like Den Vau's", however, he believes that with the current audience sentiment, the number of 9 to 10 thousand tickets for a show is not too far-fetched.

"Given the audience's affection, we decided to expand our investment, increase the size of the stage as well as the cost of staging the shows to bring the best experience to the audience. I also want to open more seats but I'm afraid I can't do it because the number of good seats with a clear view of the stage is only that many," he shared.

Producer Ha Thanh Phuc said that having sold tickets at tea rooms for 6 years, he "felt" that Trung Quan was the best-selling name among young singers today.

Talking about the reason why Trung Quan's show attracts audiences, he shared: "Quan's audience is quite wide, from Gen Z to middle-aged people, office workers to laborers. In addition to Trung Quan's 15 years of singing, other factors such as quality guests: Ha Tran - Uyen Linh - Thuy Chi are also the top singers today, singing live like swallowing the CD.

In particular, with the help of musician Duc Tri as music director, this show is really worth watching. Besides, the price we offer is also very reasonable, only from 800 thousand VND, so the majority will be able to access it."

The producer also admitted that selling tickets for shows has never been easy at the present time and is becoming increasingly difficult. In particular, selling tickets in Ho Chi Minh City will be more difficult than in Hanoi. Therefore, he believes that few people perform live shows in Ho Chi Minh City.

"The fact that we sold tickets for this live show is not too subjective to think that it is a positive sign, but also due to luck. This also gives me more motivation and belief that young and new producers have a chance to succeed in the 'pie' of the concert market share - a field that is very difficult to eat.

In addition, we must also acknowledge the change in the current audience. The current audience is also very young. Young people born in 2000 are now 23, 24 years old, and the 8x, 9x generations are also in their 40s. This is the 'golden' age group willing to spend money to watch shows," he added.

Also at this time, Hoang Thuy Linh and her crew are actively promoting and selling tickets for the singer's first show.

Previously on September 8, tickets for Hoang Thuy Linh's concert were opened for sale. Hoang Thuy Linh's ticket prices were slightly higher than Trung Quan's, ranging from 1.5 million VND to 3.9 million VND.

The concert venue at Phu Tho Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City with a capacity of about 7,000 spectators is also a big challenge, showing Hoang Thuy Linh's ambition in her artistic career.

The singer has chosen only one exclusive distributor to sell tickets. To buy tickets, buyers must create an account linked to a bank. Buyers will have 5 minutes and can only buy a maximum of 4 tickets in one transaction.

Hoang Thuy Linh held her first concert in her singing career.

After opening ticket sales, Hoang Thuy Linh also actively promoted the concert by sharing information and images related to the show on social networking sites. However, the number of interactions on the singer's posts was not too much. In addition, Hoang Thuy Linh's FC also spent money to help their idol promote the concert on the streets.

However, after nearly 2 weeks of opening for sale, Hoang Thuy Linh's concert seems to be having a lot of difficulty selling tickets. On the ticketing application, only the Gieo Que seat category is reported to be sold out. Meanwhile, other ticket categories can still be purchased easily, even the cheapest ticket category at 1.5 million VND.

Unlike Trung Quan, Hoang Thuy Linh also did not announce any information about the number of tickets sold. Reporters also contacted the singer's team to find out about the ticket sales situation, however, have not received any response. This also makes the audience curious about the number of spectators who will attend this concert.

Currently only one class of ticket is sold out.

Previously, at the concert press conference, the female singer caused controversy when her interview answers did not go straight to the point but kept beating around the bush, asking the reporter back, making the audience uncomfortable. Many people thought that her lack of tact in the recent interview had attracted more anti-fans, and at the same time had a significant impact on concert ticket sales.

Because the tickets were sold at almost the same time, and the two concerts were held quite close together, many audiences unintentionally compared the ticket sales between the two shows.

Media expert Nguyen Ngoc Long disagrees with this comparison. He believes that comparing the two shows of Hoang Thuy Linh and Trung Quan is inappropriate, because the two are two different types of artists. Hoang Thuy Linh pursues commercial music, is a performing artist, not a singer. Meanwhile, Trung Quan is a real artist and singer.

Furthermore, Hoang Thuy Linh and Trung Quan held concerts aimed at different audiences. Those who listened to Trung Quan were those who liked to listen to singing, while those who listened to Hoang Thuy Linh declared that they accepted her lip-syncing, not having to sing live. Those are two completely different audiences and regions.

However, this media expert also frankly shared that it is understandable that Hoang Thuy Linh's show has not sold out. "I do not agree with saying that Hoang Thuy Linh is at an international level. The song See Tinh became a hit because of a remix of that song, not the original song. Not to mention that the success of that song is not Hoang Thuy Linh's alone. It cannot be said that Hoang Thuy Linh has international influence.

We have been too lenient in using the phrase "international influence". Therefore, I think it is normal that Hoang Thuy Linh's concert did not sell tickets. Furthermore, it is natural that the arrogant and insolent attitude makes the audience dislike her" - Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Long said.

- Tickets for Hoang Thuy Linh's Vietnamese Concert are on sale from 12:00 on September 8. The highest ticket class (SVIP) is called See Tinh with a price of 3.9 million VND, the VIP class is called Gieo Que with a price of 3.5 million VND, the two areas of Ke Thiep and Ba Gia cost 2.7 million VND, the two areas of Bat Via and Duyen Am cost 2.5 million VND.
The only standing area right next to the stage is called Eldest Daughter Runs Away and costs 1.5 million VND. The two areas Tu Phu and Dap Do are not for sale and are reserved for the media and guests. In addition, audiences who buy different ticket levels will also receive different gifts, from tote bags, shirts, light sticks to even moon cakes. The show will take place on September 29 at Phu Tho Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City.
- Tickets for Trung Quan's concert 1589 include 2 shows: Military Zone 7 Stadium - Ho Chi Minh City (October 28) and My Dinh Athletics Palace - Hanoi (November 10).
