HANOI, Vietnam<\/span>, Aug. 21, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — CTicket completed all three BIGBANG Hanoi sales phases quickly, with no major technical incident, powered by REAL FAN verification, upgraded payment security and flexible distribution rules.<\/i><\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands of fans competing for BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX : COSMOS >’s two Hanoi shows put Vietnam’s ticketing infrastructure to a major test, with more than 150,000 buyers queued at peak.<\/p>\n

CTicket deployed several technical layers at once to curb bots, verify buyers, secure payments and segment customers per the organiser’s needs. The platform stayed stable and sold out fast: V.I.P Membership presale in under two hours, VPBank Mastercard presale in under four, and remaining tickets at general sale in about 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Technology built for each event’s challenge<\/b><\/p>\n

An organiser’s challenge isn’t just selling tickets – it’s getting the right ticket to the right audience. CTicket lets organisers set custom rules per event: verifying an artist’s fan base, a partner’s customer ecosystem, or prioritising buyers by geography.<\/p>\n

One notable innovation, REAL FAN, replaces CAPTCHA with multiple-choice questions tied to the artist, filtering out bots. A geo-based filter blocked not just IPs but VPNs, helping nearly 90% of successful buyers be Vietnamese fans. Buyers also came from nearly 20 countries and territories.<\/p>\n

Safer payments, more transparent sales<\/b><\/p>\n

As bots and scalping remain a global ticketing challenge, CTicket builds verification into the purchase flow rather than after distribution. For the VPBank Mastercard phase, the system verified payment cards at the partner’s request, without storing users’ card data.<\/p>\n

“For international organisers, ticketing is a critical part of event infrastructure, not just a sales channel,” said Ngan Nguyen, CEO of Cresta, CTicket’s operator. “A good system must handle massive traffic, let partners control who can buy, protect fairness, and keep transactions secure. Through BIGBANG, CTicket has proven it can do all this at scale.”<\/p>\n

The sale extends CTicket’s record with international shows in Vietnam, including G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [\u00dcbermensch], DAESUNG’s D’s Road Asia Tour, TEMPEST’s 1st Asia Tour, Kim Jae Joong’s Asia Tour, and fan meetings for Tiffany Young, Hyeri and YoonA. As Vietnam becomes a bigger global touring stop, CTicket aims to be organisers’ ticketing partner of choice.<\/p>\n
