This can be seen from the long lines of the supporters who come to Istora to purchase the ticket for the final round, the ticket box starts selling the ticket at 10 AM, but as seen in Istora, many have started lining up In front of the ticket box since 7 AM just so they can get a spot in Istora. This shows that the Indonesian supporters have great enthusiasm towards the players who will play their final match of Blibli Indonesia Open 2018 today.

“I originally come from Malang, but I am currently working on a project in Jakarta. And after knowing that Indonesia has 2 delegates on the final round, so I take this opportunity to watch the final, and today is also a day off for me,” as expressed by Prasetyo.

The final round has always been highly anticipated by the public, especially when there are delegates from Indonesia playing in the final round where in most cases these athletes managed to win the title by the end of the tournament. Therefore, the public clearly do not want to miss this moment. In contrast, when there are no delegates from Indonesia in the final, the situation would be less exciting for all Indonesian badminton fans.

“There are two delegates who made it to the final, so this is a special moment for me. Moreover, the venue is close to where I currently live. Maybe if there aren’t any Indonesian players on the final I wouldn’t have come,” he added.

The ticket box are located in 3 locations in Istora Senayan, where the first box located near by the main gate, this box is dedicated to those who want to redeem their online tickets and to purchase VIP ticket. The other two boxes are located in southern part and northern part of Istora, where supporters can purchase ticket for the 1 st Class and 2 nd Class.
