BALIKPAPAN- BRI Liga 1 Club Borneo FC implemented a unique strategy by selling tickets plus accommodation while playing at the Batakan Stadium, Balikpapan. "We give tickets per person Rp130 thousand. This ticket can be used to go round using Rp80 thousand and Rp50 thousand bus transportation to enter the stadium. So that all the total is Rp130 thousand," explained Borneo FC Manager, Dandri Dauri. Currently, Borneo FC has to move home to Batakan Stadium in the remainder of the Liga 1 season because the Segi Stadium, Samarinda is undergoing a renovation process. Borneo FC match tickets in the remaining competitions this season will be set at Rp130 thousand including transportation accommodation costs going home from Samarinda to Balikpapan.

This strategy was carried out by management so that the team would still receive support from supporters directly even though they had to evacuate to Batakan Stadium, which is the headquarters of the Liga 2 team Persiba Balikpapan. In addition, the policy is also to ensure the safety of supporters when leaving and returning to watch the Borneo FC match. "It is very important for these supporters, and they also go round and round by bus which must be via the Balsam (Balikpapan-Samarinda) toll road. Don't go through the hill of Suharto, I can't bear to see. Pilu it," said Dandri Dauri. Later at Batakan Stadium, Borneo FC will not only share with Persiba Balikpapan but also other BRI Liga 1 2023/24 team, PSM Makassar, because Gelora BJ Habibie Stadium in Parepare, South Sulawesi is also renovated. Currently Borneo FC is at the top of the League 1 standings with 51 points from 23 matches. Borneo FC will next host Persija Jakarta visitors on January 6.
