F1 TICKET PROMO EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 28 BY POPULAR DEMAND
If you are looking for great deals on Formula One tickets, then make sure that you attend one of the promotions that the Sepang International Circuit is carrying out throughout the country until February 28.
SIC General Manager Datuk Azmi Murad announced today that the decision was made by the management in view of the overwhelming response by from fans as well as a goodwill gesture from SIC in celebrating the 10th edition of the PMGP this year.
“Five of the 10 packages are due to expire today (January 30). But, we have agreed to extend the offer until February 28 so that more people can enjoy the packages. There was a late rush for these packages so we thought it was only rationale to extend it until February 28,” said Azmi, who is the event director for the 2008 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix.
The five packages due to expire today included purchases of a second Main Grandstand Tower ticket for only RM10 with a purchase of a Tower ticket at RM1,000; a 50 percent discount for a Topaz three-day ticket with a purchase of one Main Grandstand Turquoise ticket at RM1,100 and a free Main Grandstand Topaz ticket for every purchase of three Topaz tickets at RM1,000 each.
The other two packages are a free Hillstand C2 ticket for a purchase of three Hillstand C2 at RM200 each; and a free Hillstand E ticket for every purchase of three Hillstand E tickets at RM100 each.
According to Azmi, although the conditions for purchase of these packages stated that they needed to be purchased either at SIC or the SIC office at KL Sentral in Kuala Lumpur, interested buyers could actually purchase them by telephone as well to enjoy these packages.
“All you need to do is to call our TICKET HOTLINE at 03-87782222 to make the purchases. You don’t have to physically come to circuit or to KL Sentral to enjoy these packages. Collections of these tickets can be arranged later. Basically, you can even be overseas to purchase the packages,” he said.
Azmi also said that the overall ticket sales had been encouraging and that he was confident that the target of a record attendance of 125,000 spectators on Race Day would be achieved.
Hosting the second round of the 2008 Formula One World Championship, the 2008 Formula One Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix would be held from March 21 to 23 and would be a weekend packed with action with the incorporation of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, Formula BMW Asia, Speedcar Series and GP2 Asia as support races in the three-day programme.
The other five offers promoted under the package include special offer of paying only RM99 for a RM1,000 Grandstand F Platinum ticket by bringing a PMGP 1999 purchased ticket. This offer would also expire on February 28.
“There is also a special on-line package that will run until February 2008 where fans can purchase a Grandstand F Platinum ticket, a limited edition PMGP 2008 cap, headset and a tag holder at a promotional price of only RM410,” said Azmi.
While two other packages for students and senior citizens; and the GP Passport holder would run until Race Day on March 23, the other package is exclusively offered at the F1 Roadshows where any purchase of a Grandstand ticket would provide a free limited edition PMGP cap.
The next F1 Roadshow would be held concurrently at Pavillion Kuala Lumpur and at Queensbay Mall in Penang from February 20 to 24.
