Lovers & Gangsters: The Legend Begins, watch episode 1 with Force, Book, Great and Bright; tickets 790–2,500 baht on sale 1 PM on 23 October

Reading the poster: an old picture palace and flecks of red paint

The whole sheet is a forgotten screening room: rows of red velvet seats, a yellow floor, burnt orange at the edges like a projector lamp about to go out. Four men sit, lean and stand among the seats (denim, an olive vest, a leather jacket, a mustard shirt with burgundy trousers), like a gang from another decade posing in a cinema. On the back of the middle seat four names are painted by hand, Great, Bright, Force, Book, with red dots flicked around them like paint, or like blood; a few of the same flecks land on the word “Begins” in “The Legend Begins”. The series’ title is hand-lettered in Thai.

The most important line on the poster is in Thai, top left: “Come and watch the first episode of the series together with the cast and the director, join the talk, and watch an exclusive special show from the cast” (Tao Meo’s translation). So this is not a plain fan meeting: the evening is built around episode 1, and the hashtag is #LoversAndGangstersEP1.

What the series is about

According to TMDB’s synopsis, หงเสนคลุกฝุ่น (Lovers & Gangsters) follows a young man who falls in love with a rival gangster of his family (the very one responsible for killing his father), while his brother will not rest until he ruins his new brother-in-law’s life. The four leads: Force as Sen, Book as Yong Yi, Great as Seng and Bright as So.

TMDB gives the series’ premiere as 30 October 2026, the same day as this event. The poster and the ticket page name no channel or broadcast time for the series, so neither do we.

Two sale rounds: the first is online only

Buying from Vietnam, aim for 1 PM on Friday 23 October: Thai time is Vietnam time (2 PM in Malaysia, Singapore and China). Step by step: buying on ThaiTicketMajor; before the sale: getting ready before the on-sale.

The four tiers: who gets what

• 2,500 baht · A1–A5: the five front blocks. Hi-Touch with Force, Book, Great and Bright on every ticket; 500 tickets by draw win a hand-signed photocard (18 × 26.7 cm); every ticket gets a digital-autograph photocard, except hand-signed winners.
• 2,000 baht · B1–B5: the next five blocks. Hi-Session on every ticket: up on stage to wave hello to all four, by the same rules as the earlier Hi-bye, then straight out of the hall; plus a digital-autograph photocard.
• 990 baht · C1, C2: two blocks either side of the sound desk (FOH), behind the B blocks. Digital-autograph photocard.
• 790 baht · D1–D3: the grandstand at the back of the hall. Digital-autograph photocard.

The hand-signed photocard draw is announced on 28 October 2026 on GMMTV’s social media; one seat can win only one benefit from the draw. Photocards are collected at the venue’s registration desk. What a hi-touch is: concert terms. Booking through the show page, you tap the plan to pick a tier.

30 October, hour by hour

• 11 AM: the GMMTV Official Merchandise booth opens, and registration for benefits begins.
• 11 AM–4:30 PM: benefit holders (Hi-Touch, Hi-Session, photocard) bring their tickets to register at the venue. Miss the window and the benefit is waived, but you still see the show.
• 4 PM: doors for benefit holders. 4:30 PM: Hi-Session (2,000 tier) then Hi-Touch (2,500 tier); afterwards you leave the hall at once and leave nothing on your seat: the organiser is not responsible for lost items.
• 7 PM: general doors, and those who just left come back in. 8 PM: the show.

With a benefit, your deadline is 4 PM, not 7. Without one, still come before the doors: Union Hall is on the 6th floor of Union Mall, beside two stations.

Collecting tickets and what is not allowed

• Collection with the original ID or passport whose number you registered, at one of ThaiTicketMajor’s 11 main outlets in the stated period, or at ThaiTicketMajor’s booth at the venue on the day of the show. No postal delivery. More: e-ticket or paper ticket.
• No refunds. The organiser prohibits resale above face value and commercial use of tickets, and takes no responsibility for tickets bought outside ThaiTicketMajor. Beware of anyone offering to “reserve benefits” off the system: how to spot a scam.
• No video recording or live streaming inside; offenders are asked to leave at once. Children over 90 cm need a ticket.

Where Union Hall is

Union Hall is on the 6th floor of Union Mall in Lat Phrao, Bangkok. Take the MRT to Phahon Yothin (BL14), exit 5, or the BTS to Ha Yaek Lat Phrao (N9), exit 2. Directions, arrival times and paper-ticket collection: where Union Hall is.
