Tickets are selling fast
PETALING JAYA: F1 tickets are selling at a roaring pace.
Sales this year recorded a sizzling 40% increase compared to last season – an all-time high since the motor sport race was first held here in 1999.
Sepang International Circuit (SIC) general manager Azmi Murad said such encouraging ticket sales showed that Formula One racing had made its mark in Malaysia.
“Indeed, ticket sales this time around are definitely the best we’ve had in eight years,” he said.
“I’m very pleased with the increasing demand from locals and foreigners alike to experience the thrill of an F1 race,” he said.
On top of efforts to promote the sport, Azmi attributed the positive sales to good teamwork by the SIC team in attracting F1 fans.
He said that tickets were still available in all sections of the circuit.
“The grandstand and covered seats are the most popular among fans and they are selling like hot cakes,” he said.
“More Malaysians should show their support and quickly buy their tickets for the event.”
Tickets for the F1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix begin from RM50 and can be bought online at www.malaysiangp.com.my. Alternatively, call the ticket hotline at 03-8778 2222.
