First Day Of Indonesia Masters 2022: Scavengers Spread Around The Venue

JAKARTA - The prestigious badminton tournament Indonesia Masters 2022 begins today, Tuesday. Taking place at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, the Super 500 badminton event received a warm welcome from badminton lovers in the country.

From the observations of VOI team in the field, enthusiasm can be seen from the long queues at the entrance since the morning. Not only enthusiastic adults, children were also seen joining the queue.

However, the enthusiasm of this Indonesian badminton lover has been tarnished by the many brokers hanging around Istora Senayan. This moment is very unfortunate considering that there are still many badminton lovers who find it difficult to get tickets to watch the match.

Not only selling, but the brokers are also willing to buy from spectators who have excess tickets. This was clearly done by the brokers to get higher profits.

"Here's a ticket to watch, if you have extra, you can sell it to us too, just offer it here," said a broker offering.

The existence of these brokers is also quite disturbing. Because along the location to Istora Senayan they are widely scattered and often offer tickets by forcing them to follow prospective spectators who want to enter the match area.

The Indonesia Masters 2022 will take place with very strict health protocols (prokes). Not just anyone can enter the Istora Senayan area.

Strict security was also implemented to ensure the event ran in an orderly and smooth manner. In fact, spectators are not allowed to bring food and drinks from outside.
