JAKARTA - The enthusiasm of Indonesian badminton lovers has succeeded in making online ticket sales for the Indonesia Open 2022 sold out. However, the organizers still provide tickets that can be obtained by the audience during the event.

Indonesia Open 2022 is an agenda for the Badminton World Federation (BWF) tournament which is included in the Super 1000 category. With this prestigious status, it is certain that badminton players with the highest world rankings will appear in this event which is also an attraction for the audience.

It will take place on June 14-19 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, ticket sales actually started online as of May 26 yesterday. However, with great enthusiasm, within a day the number of tickets provided 70 percent of the total capacity of Istora was sold out.

"After opening yesterday at 12 noon through online sales on the PBSI web and Loket.com, within 16 hours all tickets in all categories and all days were sold out," said Head of Public Relations PP PBSI Broto Happy in a statement received by VOI.

Despite stating that all tickets sold online have been sold out, Broto Happy conveys another good news for badminton lovers who have not yet received tickets. He said there were 10 percent of the number of tickets that would be sold directly when the event was held at Istora Senayan.

"On the spot tickets will still be available in the arena on match days with a quota of 10 percent," said Broto.

The enthusiasm of the audience for the Indonesia Open 2022 is very high, not only because this event is included in the Super 1000 category. On the other hand, the Indonesia Open 2022 is also the first badminton tournament that can be attended by spectators directly after two years of being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The last time the Indonesia Open was held openly was in 2019. One year later, this agenda was canceled due to the high number of pandemics, while in 2021 this agenda will be held again in Bali along with the Indonesia Masters and BWF World Tour Finals agendas but with a bubble and closed system. .
