THE durian leaves no room for indifference.
If you find yourself among the King of Fruits’ devoted enthusiasts, then you’re in luck, as the “Back-2-Back Eat All You Can Durian Festival 2023”, presented by MAE by Maybank2U in collaboration with Agro Best Services, is just around the corner!
You will have to act quickly too if you don’t want to miss this feast, as tickets are selling fast.
The Super Early Bird tickets for the first event, which was priced at RM49.99 and taking place at Komtar Walk in George Town, Penang on May 27 and 28, were sold out within the first five days of the launch.
However, thanks to MAE’s “Pakej Sedap” and “Pakej Sedap Gilerrr” promotions, durian lovers still have the opportunity to indulge and relish every custard-like bite at this year’s festival, with Early Bird tickets available for purchase till May 26.
The MAE Pakej Sedap and MAE Pakej Sedap Gilerrr packages both serve up to an hour of non-stop durian helpings – but of different varieties.
Early Bird tickets under the MAE Pakej Sedap are priced at RM69.99 for adults and RM59.99 for senior citizens aged 60 and above.
This package offers popular Malaysian durian varieties such as the durian Kampung Kahwin, D24, D14, IOI and Udang Merah.
You can also take advantage of the special bundle promotion where every purchase of two adult tickets entitles two children and one senior citizen to eat for free.
Connoisseurs who prefer a more lip-smacking durian experience can opt for the MAE Pakej Sedap Gilerrr package, with Early Bird tickets priced at RM148 for adults and RM99 for seniors.
This serves up unlimited helpings of durian varieties such as Super XO, D13, D99, Udang Merah and the renowned Musang King.
For this package, every purchase of four adult tickets will entitle four children and two seniors to eat for free.
After the feast in Penang, the next festival will be held at IPC Shopping Centre in Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya on June 3 and 4.
The final stop will take place at The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey in Johor Bahru on July 1 and 2.
Tickets for these events are selling like hotcakes too.
The pre-event online sales received over a million page visits, not just from Malaysians, but also internet users from countries including China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
