Madam Pang has to take action because of the fever for tickets to the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final
On January 2, just hours before the first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final between Vietnam and Thailand, which ended 2-1, FAT announced that all tickets for the second leg at Rajamangala Stadium on January 5 had been sold out. Accordingly, a total of about 47,000 tickets for fans of the home team Thailand were sold out in just under 2 hours of going on sale.

Rajamangala Stadium has a capacity of 51,560 spectators, with all tickets sold to Thai fans, so the remaining will be reserved for Vietnamese fans (about 4,000 tickets) and will be arranged in a separate area. In addition, there are some invitation tickets for partners of the AFF Cup, FAT...
However, there are still many other Thai fans who are late and cannot buy tickets, so they have to search for tickets on the black market at very high prices. Similarly, many Vietnamese tourists coming to Thailand on this occasion also search for tickets on the black market in the hope of going to the stadium to support their home team.
Buying tickets on the black market is very dangerous. In addition to buying them at a much higher price than the official price of 500 baht (about 368,000 VND), which is the ticket price that FAT distributes to Vietnamese fans at the same price, tickets can also be counterfeited. In addition, if Vietnamese fans buy tickets to sit in the same area as Thai fans, it is also very easy for unsafe situations to occur...
In response to the ticket fever, not only among Thai fans but also Vietnamese fans, Madam Pang decided to install a giant screen outside Rajamangala Stadium to serve fans without tickets to the stadium. This area is located next to Rajamangala Stadium and in front of Hua Mak Multi-purpose Gymnasium.
FAT has announced and directed the area for fans without tickets to watch the match live on a giant screen, produced by Thairath TV and organized in coordination with SAT.

Thai press also reported that security is being tightened to ensure order before the huge number of fans who will flock to Rajamangala Stadium on January 5, both inside and outside the stadium.
This is the first time in many years that the Thai team has received such great support from home fans in a match in the Southeast Asian championship.
Madam Pang calls on Thai fans to come to the stadium in large numbers
Madam Pang also called on Thai fans to come to the stadium in large numbers to support their team to turn the tables after losing 1-2 in the first leg against Vietnam.
She said: "It is very important to put a giant screen outside the stadium. It will help fans who cannot buy tickets to the stadium to still come to the stadium to watch and support the team playing in the stadium. I know the support of the fans is very big, as the 12th player of the team, but 47,000 tickets have been sold.
Watching the match outside the stadium on a giant screen will help relieve some of the ticket fever, but will also help fans still have all the conditions to support their team as if they were at the stadium."
Madam Pang also affirmed that the support of Thai fans will help the "War Elephants" turn the tide to win the AFF Cup 2024, like in 2016 when they lost the first leg of the final to the Indonesian team with a score of 1-2 away, but won the second leg 2-0 to be crowned.
If they win, Thailand will win the AFF Cup for the 8th time and the 3rd time in a row. Meanwhile, if Vietnam wins, it will be their 3rd time crowned after 2 times in 2008 and 2018.
