Well, one need not guess any longer as the record prices, ranging from VND1.8 million to VND600,000, were announced on Tuesday at a meeting between the representatives of SHB Bank and Viet Nam Football Federation, according to Vietnam News.           

The best seats will fetch the highest price for any football event ever held in Vietnam, a distinction previously held by the Vietnam-Arsenal match in 2013 where tickets topped out at VND1.5 million.

Those who don’t have that kind of cash laying around have the option of purchasing tickets at lower tiers - VND1.5 million, VND1 million and VND600,000.

Tickets for the match, which will take place at Hanoi’s My Dinh National Stadium on July 27, can be purchased at state companies and organizations, VFF stalls and switchboard No.1080.

The 2014 Football League Cup Final winners will arrive in Vietnam on July 25 and will participate in community activities prior to the match. The club has confirmed that its top players such as Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure and David Silva will make the trip.
