This year, to protect the environment, the organisers are issuing 100% electronic tickets in the form of wristbands instead of paper tickets, following the world trend. These are new features of the festival shared by the general director – musician Quoc Trung – at a press conference held yesterday afternoon (8.9) in Hanoi.
