Supporters jostled, scrambled to buy tickets on the day Cong Phuong returns to Nghe An

The organizers of the Vinh stadium will sell tickets of the SLNA vs Ho Chi Minh City Club in the 6th round of V.League, taking place today at 5:00PM. This is the focal match of the round between the top team, the host and the runner-up last season.

Hundreds of fans had queued for an hour earlier. The ticket booth did not have a fence, so the fans stood spontaneously, there was no clear line in the hot weather of nearly 40 degrees Celsius.

At 8:30, the organizers just arrived at the ticket counter. However, the fans tightly surrounded this area. They jostled, pushed near the ticket counter, which made the organizers to call the security forces for support and delayed the selling.

Then, a staff of the organizers asked people to stand in line 2 and then sell tickets. However, her request could not be heard by the hundreds of people waiting, squeezing in the tiring day.

Being unable to ask the fans to line up, the organizers were forced to start selling tickets from a location with the least crowds. The inexperience of the organizers contributed to the ticket sales becoming more complicated. Typically, with more than 100 fans queuing up, well-organized ticket counters can sell out very quickly, in a few dozen minutes.

The value of tickets for SLNA vs Ho Chi Minh City clubs is from 30,000 to 70,000 VND, 2 tickets each only.

The match between SLNA and Ho Chi Minh City Club was given special attention by Nghe fans as it was the day when a series of stars returned to their homeland. These are Chairman Nguyen Huu Thang, striker Nguyen Cong Phuong, midfielder Tran Phi Son and Ngo Hoang Thinh.
