Malaysia: Tickets For Three SEA Games Sport Events Sold Out

KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 (Bernama) -- Tickets for three sport events - basketball, netball and taekwondo - at the Kuala Lumpur SEA Games to be held from August 14 to 30 are sold out. According to the Kuala Lumpur SEA Games official website http://www.kualalumpur2017.com.my, tickets for the finals of the pencak silat and swimming events are also sold out. Malaysia Organising Commitee (MASOC) chief executive officer Zolkples Embong, when met by reporters, said the number of seats at certain competition venues would most likely be increased. Among them are for the netball event in Juara Stadium, Bukit Kiara and sepak takraw event in Titiwangsa Stadium. "Juara stadium (for netball event) can accomodate up to 1,000 spectators at any one time, we will consider adding more seats,” he said after launching the Digital KL2017 platform here Thursday. “I have asked every sports association to improve the situation at every venue. If tickets for that particular sport are sold out, maybe we can increase the number of seats at that venue. “However we will control the increase in ticket sales and priority will be given to Malaysian supporters,” he added. -- BERNAMA
