The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) transported the first tickets for the final round of Asian Cup 2007 to Hanoi on June 9, announced the Vietnam Football Development JS Company (VFD), the sole distributor of the tickets in Vietnam.

 

According to the initial agreement, AFC was to transfer the tickets for all eight matches in Vietnam to AFD on June 1, 2007. However, the Vietnamese ticket distributor has just received around 38,000 tickets for all eight matches. The largest number of tickets for a match is over 6,000 and 1,000 is the smallest number.

 

An anonymous source said that VFD might receive the remainder of all 36,000 tickets for each match on June 15.

 

To deal with scalpers and fever” for Asian Cup tickets, the distributor has applied some measures, such as booking tickets online at www.aleale.com.vn from May 5, 2007; booking tickets by dispatch for organisations; and selling tickets through agents.

 

Whatever the method of booking, each person can buy 10 tickets per match at most. Next week Asian Cup 207 tickets will reach the hands of Vietnamese football fans.

 

Related to the upcoming friendly matches between the Vietnamese national football squad, as of June 12, people can book tickets for the first match between Vietnam and Jamaica, which will take place on June 24, through the website www.aleale.com.vn.
