“We had this show booked for 8 PM on Sep 2. Around 2 PM on the day of the show, the operator says the 8 PM show was cancelled by the theater and that they would offer alternate times. I was on my flight to Hanoi and didn't see this message until I landed at 4PM. I chose the 6:30 PM because I could not have seen this show on any other day during my trip. Sep 2 is a very busy day because it is the Vietnamese independence day and the Old Quarter area is overcrowded and gridlocked with many street closures. The operator should have shared these details…”
