C Lombok, NTB - State-run Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation’s (ITDC’s) digital platform, Xplorin, has sold 30,510 tickets for the World Superbike (WSBK) racing event at Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit as of D-1.

The competition will be held from November 11–13, 2022.

The tickets sold so far consist of second-day pass tickets (6,981 tickets) and third-day pass tickets (23,529 tickets), an Xplorin official, Norman Haka Sulaiman, said at the circuit here on Thursday.

"It is still possible that the number will increase, since offline and online ticket sales will still be open during the (D-Day of the) WSBK at Mandalika (circuit)," he added.

He informed that 70 percent of the 30,510 tickets have been purchased by residents of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) province.

"We really appreciate it because 70 percent of the people watching it (the racing event) will be NTB people," he remarked.

Meanwhile, other buyers are from Bali, several regions of Java, as well as other countries, the official said.

"There are many spectators who come from Bali because, considering the transportation access, Bali is closer to Lombok,” he explained.

Furthermore, he said that there will be several overseas spectators from Malaysia and Australia, although their number will be few.

Based on the ticket sales for the 2022 WSBK so far, there has been an increase in the number of spectators from NTB province compared to the first implementation of the racing event in 2021, Sulaiman noted.

One of the reasons is that the committee is providing a 50-percent discount for local residents, he added.

"We focus more on local spectators, thus they can (have a bigger opportunity to) experience the atmosphere of the circuit," he said.

Earlier, the president director of Indonesian MotoGP and WSBK promoter Mandalika Grand Prix Association (MGPA), Priandhi Satria, had informed that all racers and crews participating in WSBK had arrived in Mandalika, NTB, on Wednesday (November 9, 2022).
