BlackPink's show in Vietnam is still going on as planned.

So, there are only 5 days left until BlackPink's concert in Vietnam officially takes place, but the black market has not cooled down yet, many people holding tickets are rushing to sell them off, accepting the loss.

Even though the ticket seller Ticketbox has temporarily stopped selling tickets since July 14, many seats have not been purchased yet, and ticket sellers are advertising deep discounts and cutting losses, but no one is asking to buy.

In groups with tens of thousands of participants, a series of posts advertising ticket sales appear with high frequency. Among them, many accounts announce to cut losses with prices lower than the original price by millions of dong, buying all tickets at a discount of up to... 30%.

To "save tickets", ticket scalpers give many "half-crying, half-laughing" reasons: Suddenly receiving tickets as gifts, having a sudden family matter, accidentally buying the wrong tickets... In particular, there are accounts that post urgently asking for everyone's help because they have "held" a large number of concert tickets.

The BlackPink concert ticket market is bustling on social networks but there are few buyers.

Previously, statistics from the SocialHeat platform showed that the consumption of black market tickets for the BlackPink group was gradually decreasing, the situation of supply being greater than demand was happening. The difference was even up to 21:1.

From July 7 (the date of ticket sales) to July 11, the black market was extremely active. According to statistics from this platform, there were 25,609 comments on social networks from 7,243 users who were in need of transferring tickets.

The number of people who want to buy tickets is only about 1,200 comments. That means that only 5% of people want to buy tickets, which means that for every 21 people who want to transfer tickets, there is only 1 person who wants to buy them. The chaotic ticket market makes buyers hesitant because they are afraid of being scammed.

On July 22, Ticketbox - the ticket seller for two BlackPink concerts in Hanoi - suddenly announced that it would exchange bracelets for attendees, causing a stir.

Accordingly, this unit requires participants to come to My Dinh Stadium to exchange their electronic tickets for wristbands. This is considered a way to reduce fraud when reselling tickets.

The Organizing Committee (OC) requires electronic tickets sent directly from the ticket seller when exchanging rounds to ensure validity and authenticity. Screenshots, forwarded emails, prints, photocopies, etc. are not accepted.

In case the ticket buyer cannot come to receive the bracelet, it is necessary to confirm the information via the ticket issuer's website and have a signed authorization letter.
