TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The ticket for 2018 Asian Game will be sold via online in a bid to verify and list the would-be spectators to meet the security standard, said Indonesian Asian Games Organizing Committee (Inasgoc) promotion deputy director Nirmala Dewi.
The committee is also still striving to manage the direct selling around the venue area.
“There will be the special operator to sell Asian Games ticket based on the standard set by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). We will inform later the ticket quota and its condition after we have the athletes and officials data,” said Dewi in Palembang, South Sumatra, on Thursday, June 1.

She asserted the most important thus far is socialization program to the public regarding the ticket purchase. “The public should’ve been updated that Asian Games is different than SEA Games. Asian Games is one level under Olympic thus the ticket purchase is required,” Dewi underlined.
The committee would also determine affordable ticket and package ticket for spectators.
Earlier, OCA questioned the security measures during the establishment of Asian Games this year following the series of terror attacks in Surabaya and Pekanbaru.
Furthermore, Inasgoc head Erick Tohir stated the ticket of 2018 Asian Games would be sold via online and the would-be spectator should fill out several data for verification.
