Coldplay Fans Don't Get Concert Tickets Will Be Invited By Sandiaga Nobar

JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno seeks to allow fans of British bands to watch concerts together (non-watching together/nobar) if the promoter cannot fulfill the addition of the day.

"God willing, if the day is not added, we will watch it together (nobar)," said Sandiaga Uno, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 25.

Sandi said that until now he also did not have a ticket to watch Chris Martin and the friends on Wednesday (15/11).

In addition, he appealed to fans to buy tickets from official sources and have been validated so as not to be entangled by individuals who have bad faith for profit.

According to Sandiaga, these individuals need to be prosecuted legally to provide a deterrent effect and not repeat their actions again.

"Orang-orangnum yang mengambil kesempitan dan itu perlu ditindak tegas secara hukum," tambahnya.

Sandiaga Uno said that fans don't have to struggle to get a concert ticket because they can find alternative music such as dangdut.

Previously, Sandiaga Uno said that he was still waiting for the news that the Coldplay band concert day in Jakarta would be fulfilled by the promoter for two days.

He also asked fans to be patient waiting for the information.

"We are waiting to see if the second day's request can be fulfilled by promoters and management, friends, please be patient," said Sandiaga Uno when met at the Jakarta Presidential Palace yard, Monday.

Sandiaga acknowledged the high enthusiasm of the fans who bought tickets for the British band concert.

He detailed that the queue for pre-sales of tickets for sponsor banking customers on the first day alone has netted 1.5 million people, while public ticket sales reached 1.7 million enthusiasts.

Of the total 3.2 million concert enthusiasts, as many as 20 percent of them are foreign tourists.
