Mataram, W Nusa Tenggara (ANTARA) - The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Provincial Government will offer 10-percent discounts on Mandalika MotoGP tickets to residents who hold an NTB ID card, an official has announced.

The 2022 Mandalika MotoGP will be held March 18-20, 2022 at the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit, Central Lombok District, West Nusa Tenggara Province.

"In order to make Mandalika MotoGP a success, the NTB Provincial Government encourages the purchase of tickets to people with an NTB ID card by giving a 10 percent discount," Governor's Expert Staff for Economics, Finance, Infrastructure and Development of the West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government Secretariat Sadimin said here on Saturday.

He added that the price cut refers to the Circular Letter of the Regional Secretary Number 005/001/SAG/UM/2022, which asks all regional officials to assist people with NTB ID cards in purchasing MotoGP tickets collectively.

"With the issuance of the Circular, Provincial Offices, District and City Secretariats throughout NTB are urged to facilitate the collective buying of MotoGP tickets for NTB residents," he remarked.

Sadimin noted that for the first-day festival section ticket, NTB residents can purchase the ticket at Rp.100,000 from initially Rp.115,000 thousand.

He emphasized that the provincial government (Pemprov) is acting to encourage ticket sales, and not make a profit.

"This is purely to facilitate people who want to watch," Sadimin said.
