(Kuching, 16th) Kuching City Football Club CEO Iswandi Ali Hassan emphasized that there will be no more tickets added for the 2025/2026 Malaysia Cup semi-final second leg against Selangor FC, to be held this Saturday (April 18) at the Sarawak Stadium in Petra Jaya.
Iswandi stated that the 17,000 tickets printed by the club were deemed sufficient and were all sold out as of yesterday.
“Initially we released only 16,000 tickets, but due to strong demand, we added another 1,000, for a total of 17,000, all of which were sold out as of yesterday,” he told Arena Suara Sarawak during an interview.
He stressed that this measure is to avoid unexpected overcrowding at the home venue on the night of the match.
In addition, children under the age of 12 are allowed free entry to this Saturday’s match, which will further add to the crowd pressure.
Therefore, continuing to increase the number of tickets could result in a poor spectator experience.
The second leg of this semi-final will kick off at 8:15 pm.
Iswandi also advised fans to arrive early to avoid traffic congestion.
