MSMEs In Central Lombok Are Required To Pay Entrance Tickets At The Mandalika MotoGP, Only For Free

NTB - The government of Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) stated that MSMEs who occupy outlets at the MotoGP Circuit Pertamina Mandalika still have to buy entrance tickets.

"MSMEs must pay an entrance ticket, even though the price is cheaper than the ticket for the Mandalika MotoGP audience," said Head of the Central Lombok Industry and Trade Office, H Suhartono in Praya, Antara, Tuesday, February 22.

The outlets that were prepared in the Mandalika Circuit area were indeed rented. However, specifically for Central Lombok SMEs, these outlets are free. "The booth for MSMEs is free, but the entrance fee is paid," he said.

The MSMEs will later occupy stalls in the outside parking area and inside the Mandalika Circuit tribune area. Of the thousands of MSMEs in Central Lombok, not all of them can be accommodated there, so curation of their products is carried out.

"Those who pass the curation will fulfill the stalls that have been prepared," he said.

Managing Director of ITDC Mandalika, Bram Subiandoro said, the stalls for MSMEs are regulated by the central, provincial and regional governments which are prepared free of charge, but to enter, you still have to buy a ticket at a price of Rp. 150 thousand.

The ticket is an identity for them so they can enter the circuit area to sell.

"We limit those who can enter in one booth, because the number is limited. However, for others, they can buy tickets like other spectators," he said.
