A. Transportation
1. Taxi
The best way we would like to recommend to you is to take taxi. The airport is pretty near the concert venue, only 6-10 minutes by taxi depending on traffic status. Taxis are located on your left when you exit through the main door on the ground floor of the terminal building. We recommend you to use only the two most reliable taxi companies:
– Mai Linh Taxi: (84)(8) 38 38 38 38
– Vina Sun: (84) (8) 38 27 27 27
When you get in the car, have them turn the meter on. Write down your hotel name and address clearly and show it to the driver. We also suggest you to change money at the currency exchange shops inside the terminal; do not use USD to pay taxi.
2. Bus
The cheapest way is to take public city bus #152 parking in a lane few steps away on the right side from the arrival’s entrance. Tell the staff to drop you off at 247 Hoàng Văn Thụ. You can walk from there to the venue.
Fee: 10,000VND ($0.4)

Hi! I’m a Vietnamese fan, I don’t live in HCM City but I’m also going to JYJ concert from Hanoi. I hope international fans who come to Vietnam will travel safely and have fun at the concert. If you need help please contact any JYJ Vietnamese fans whom you know, they are actually nice. You should be careful because there are a lot of robbers in HCM City.

Thank you JYJFamily Vietnam. I’m not going (too far away… I’m from Europe, still waiting for them to come back here 😦 ) but we had the same kind of instructions from the German fans when we went to Germany to the concert 3 years ago. (OMG it’s already 3 years
I want to see them again) It was really helpful for us so I’m sure somebody will find this little”manual” helpful, too.

Thanks!
Aww this looks helpful. Have fun for those going!
I am so excited!!! The music is so important. Thank You Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. Reblogged this on JYJ Fantalk.com
We have gone and returned. What a trip. Very very happy to see the boys up close in front and although it poured really heavily.. The boys and the dancers did a great job and we fans stayed on and got equally wet! Seeing them dance in the rain is like watching those dance movies and Step Up. Water splashes as they turned, jumped. Hope there are good fancams. My hands were full holding on my bag .. No chance to take video or picture.
What dampened the spirits after was the discover of many loss items.. Some
Pickpockets .. Some misplace items. Overall an unforgettable trip.
