VietNamNet Bridge – The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) announced to complete the sale of 10,000 tickets directly to fans at 4pm on July 7. At present, fans of the London club have only one chance to buy tickets through number 1080.

The direct sale of tickets to the fans at the My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi, took place more smoothly than expectation because the number of people queued to buy tickets was not huge. In addition, the VFF arranged a lot of guards to control the sale of tickets.

VFF deputy general secretary Nguyen Minh Chau said there were still some issues in controlling ticket traders but this was unavoidable. Also according to the VFF, the direct sale of tickets on July 7 somewhat assuaged the thirst of tickets of the fans.

Currently, to buy tickets from the organizers, fans can only book tickets through the number 1080 in Hanoi. The sale of tickets through this switchboard began from 9am on July 7 and will last until 5 pm on July 10. However, the number of tickets is limited.

Chau said selling tickets through 1080 is to serve fans in the remote provinces.

Buyers from other provinces and cities only need to call 1080 to book tickets, get their codes and then take their ID cards to No. 811 Giai Phong Street, Hoang Mai district, Hanoi to pay and take the tickets. The deadline for getting the tickets is before 5pm on July 11.
