Director of Da Nang Culture, Sports and Tourism Department Ngo Quang Vinh said at a recent meting that the city plans to provide 36,000 tickets with prices ranging between US$12-19 for two nights of the competition on April 29-30. 

Vinh also said the city has secured US$1.1 million in sponsorship.
