PETALING JAYA: Spanish hotshot Marc Marquez may have caimed the MotoGP crown in Japan on Sunday – but tickets for next week’s Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix are still sellling fast.
Sepang International Circuit (SIC), the promoter and organiser, announced that tickets for the Main Grandstand North have been sold out.
This is the second major section – after the popular Grandstand F – that has seen all the tickets snapped up.
”What’s interesting is that tickets for this section sold out two weeks earlier compared to the previous year. We only sold out the tickets to the Main Grandstand North on the race week itself,” said SIC chief executive officer Datuk Razlan Razali.
“I believe that fans realised that this year’s race will be an awesome one. With the world’s best – like Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa – gunning for glory and six Malaysian riders on the grid, this is a race not to be missed.”
Tickets for the Main Grandstand South and the Grandstand K1 are still available, though.
The Main Grandstand South tickets are priced at RM160 while the Grandstand K1 tickets come with the VR46 package.
Tickets to this section are priced at RM160 and spectators will also receive a Valentino Rossi-autographed caps and flags.
Tickets for Hillstand C are also available from only RM40.
Last year, more than 126,000 fans packed the circuit over three days.
The six Malaysian riders who will be going flat out at Sepang next weekend are Zulfahmi Khairuddin (Ongetta Airasia), Amirul Hafiq Azmi (Team SIC-Ajo), Ramdan Rosli (Petronas AHM Malaysia) and Hafiza Rofa (Team SIC-Ajo) in Moto3; and Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah (Team Petronas Raceline Malaysia) and Azlan Shah Kamaruzaman (Idemitsu Honda Team Asia) in Moto2.
